brides brother, Mr, J. R. Horton,
Mr. W. H. Robitzsch officiating.
The young couple are now residing
at the home of their parents Mr.
and Mrs. L. Wiilingham.
It is not worth while to be dis
couraged if Christmas this year
finds you just about where you
were at this time last year. IThe
only thing is to strike a bit nigher}
from now on and keep pegging
away.
Mr. O. S, Middlebrooks and
famly from near Roanoke were
visitors here Sunday. Mr. Roger
Dickson of Athens will spend the
holidays with his parents Mr. and
Mrs. M. Dickson at Osierfield.
Santa Claus visited the pupils 1n
Miss Tucker and Miss Dickson’s
room Kriday afternoon and pre
sented many pretty as well as use
ful presents with plenty of candy
and pop corn. A nice program was
enjoyed. Invitations were sent out
to eall the mothers and of course
the fathers came along too, makirg
a large audience, In the morning
they were entertained by the pu

The parents taking an active part
in the pulling of the candy. A
prize was offered to the ones pull

Florence Kilpatrick and Florence
Peterson won the prize but were
closely contested by Mr and Mcs.
Hayes. In the afternoon a moth

works. Mrs, Wm. Troupe was
elected secretary. No definite time

proved successful and we hope all
our meetings will be equally as
successful. This 1s the first Moth
ers Club ever organized in the
Ashton School.
Misses Tucker and Dickson ex
plained the purposes and the much
needed co-operation of the mother
with the teachers in a plain and
brief way. All the inothers pres
ent expressed their willingness to
cooperate and we feel that our
teachers have made a move here:
that will be of great importance to
both parents, teachers and child,
Miss Robbie- Kilpatrick spent
Thursday night with Miss Effie
Middlebrooks.
It is Christmas time again and
tecause itis Christmas time and
the Christmas spirib is in the air,
lets pull our chairs to the fireplace
and talk of some things we do not
think of so much as we should. In
the first place, it is a good time to‘
stop trying too hard to right up
other people and to see where we

need righting up ourselves, Let’s
wipe the old scores off the slate,‘
and never make any more. Let’s
not look back over the road we|
bave come. We are not going that |
way again. What lies on ahead is,
all that concerns us now. Experj
ence sets the lamp in /the WM%A
for us and we need not be afraid‘,
to go straight on. Looking to-!
wards the light all the shadows lie
behind us. Christ is our light, thel
babe who was born at Bethleham. l
Let’s have more patience with
other folks, with ourselves, with!
other folks and with the pupils]
with whom we come in contact
and not to judge too harshly or
eaisly, but just right. We want
this knowlehge of knowing when
to do just right. We want to stop
whittling toward ourseles. No one
ever got anything by doing that
except sores and pains mixed with
sorrows. Lets give place to big
hepes for the future instead of
pang of regret over the past. Let’s
bravely turn over the new leaf
and do our best to keep the white
page free from blots clear round to
another Christmas time.

WALKS DOWN TOWN
“I walked down town todayl
for the first time in four yearsl
~Qnd don’t feel the least bit tired,’’
‘Was the truly remarkable state
ment made recently by Mrs. J.
P. Rice, who hves at 307 Russell
street, Nashville.
“I just can’t tell you all that
Tanlac has done for me,”” she
continued. ‘I have been sick
for so long and have suffered so
much I feel that I wouldn’t be
doing right if I didn’t let every
’body know what this medicine
‘has done in my case. (nly a
few weeks ago I could hardly
lget around the house, and here
I am now, actually walking
around town feeling almost as
well as I ever felt in my life.
I have impreved so much that
I don’t feel like the same person
and have actually gained 15
pounds in weight and believe I
will soon be well and strong as 1
was before my troubles began.
“About four years ago I suffer
a general nervous breakdown and
lost my health completely. Even
since then I have been so weak
that I have not been able to be
up over half the time. I don’t
lknow what on earth 1 would
have done if it had not been for
'l‘anlac, for it certainly has been
a Godsend to me, and it is the
lonly medicine 1 ever saw that
’would do everything that was
claimed for it.
’ **Nobody but a person who has
ibeen sick like I have knows how
good it feels to be out in the
open air, walking around again
and be able to eat and sleep like
other people. Before I got
through with the first bottle I
felt like a different woman. I
never dreamed I could be well
and happy again so soon. I can
not see for the life of me why
people will goon and suffer when
they can get this medicine.
Every suffering woman ought to
know about it.”’
Tanlac is sold exclusively in
Fitzgerald by Denmark Drug Co.

The Home Ministrels l
The boys did fine, everybody |
left the showhouse well pleasedl
with the evenings performance.
The pleasure really began with‘
the afternoon parade of the!
would be ministrels and the band‘
concert down town. The parade
was fully up to the professional
ones, that accompany Road Com:-
panies. ‘““Home run’’ Barfield
was in his element and his friends
‘congratulate him-on the success
of the day. The evening perfor
mance brought out several stars
in"the local field, among them
Brown and Evans, as good
dancers as ever travelled with
the high priced shows. Stubbs,
Evans, Mashburn and Cone, with
their songs mace a hit and were
frequently encored; engineer
Stubbs, of the A, B. & A. caught
the house with his monologue.
Ralph and Glenn Waters pleased
the young and old with their
faithful reproduction of a Chaplin
stunt and Ralph with his perfect
mimic of our popular policeman.
Abe Cruger, Simms, Green and
Fritz Schmitz were well received
by the audience whom they en
tertained with some well rend
ered ballards. The closing act of
Coy Brown and his congregation
gave a good finishing touch to
the performance. The perfor
mance was well attenaed, a p.ck
ed house greeting the play ers.
The management of th 2 Opera
house run some good pictures at
the close of the performan:ce
which were appreciated especial v
as the rain had made it almo-t
impossible to leave the snaltes
ing lobby of the Theatre.
