The regular meeting of the Kiwanis Club last week coming on the 17th, St. Patrick’s Day, and being unable to secure any Irish speaker for the occasion, the club did the next best thing, and invited two Dublinites, P. S. Twitty and N. G. Bartlett, as special guests for the evejiing. Manager Ombe'g had the dining room of the New Vidalia attractive ly decorated in green, with shamrock favors at every plate. The program was given an Irish flavor by each member being called on to relate the best Irish joke he had ever heard. W. O. Donovan plead guilt)' to be ing Irish and said he was proud of it, and paid a splendid tribute to the contribution Irishmen had made to the freedom of the world. The addresses of Messrs. Twitty and Bartlett were greatly enjoyed, Mr. Twitty making a plea for co operation on the part of the four Kiwanis Clubs in the 12th District — Vidalia. Dublin, Eastman and Hawk insville—in the upbuilding of our section.

There is no testimony of merit quite so' strong as the testimony of personal experience. It is not long after a Ford one-ton truck is sold in a community until other sales of the same truck fol low, because “its works do follow it.” Well, “there’s a reason.” Yes, there are many reasons. The Ford one-ton truck was built to serve and to satisfy. It carries all the Ford virtues: lightness in weight, simplicity in design, strength in construction, flexibility and durability—besides it has the lowest first cost and brings the lowest operating in the truck market. It is just as useful, just as necessary on the farm as in the city. It is just as necessary to the tradesmen, manufacturers, contractors, commission men and others in the city as it is necessary for such concerns to have a place to do business in—in other words, the Ford truck io a general utility, and because of this fact and the further fact of its universal economy it is in a class by itself. We will be glad to take your order fqr one or more Ford trucks and will give you fairly prompt delivery. You will likewise have the assurance ,of that reliable and economical after-service which , is such a valuable factor in the service ot'i Ford cars. Price, truck chassis $545.00, f. o. b.
