[MATTER DISCUSSED IN FULL AT CHAMBER OF COMMERCE LUNCHEON That Cartersville has an opportunity to secure the loca- Ition of the Northwest Georgia Baptist school, bringing to this ■section one of the greatest opportunities for expansion that ■has been brought to the attention of local business men, wits ■the substance of a proposition made to a gathering of Carters [ville boosters at their regular weekly luncheon at the Park ■hotel last Tuesday. On Monday a committee representing the Baptist boards, [which will establish this school, met for an informal confer ence with a number of citizens at the hotel. So favorably im- Ipressed were these citizens with the proposition, they immedi lately set about arranging a program for the regular Tuesday ■meeting of the Chamber of Commerce. On this program were placed speakers who discussed va rious phases of the proposition. I Dr. J. W.

This is fair enough. Obey that impulse! Remember The Unfortunates At Thanksgiving THANKFUL TIME. By Nancy Byrd Turner. It’s come to the thankful time again; The yellow corn is shining. And every purple autumn grape Can show a sugar lining. The crimson apples crowd the bin. The nuts are bronzed with sweetness. The golden pumpkins in the field Ai> rounded to completeness. Our little garden’s spicy still, That was so gay with giving; The air is frosty-clean—O Love. We’re thankful to he living! —Good Housekeeping. By ANNiE JONES PYRON. Thanksgiving Day has always been observed in our city by the gathering together of our people in a union serv ice held in one of our churches, the Thanksgiving sermon being delivered by one of our local preachers, and this is fitting, as it should be. Many of our people attend these services; a great many of our transplanted citizens go to their old homes to spend this day with loved ones. A great many of our men take advantage of the holiday by hunting, while wife and mother and the children prepare the feast for homie folks and perhaps guests, and this is as it should be. But the .Master said: "It is more blessed to give than to receive,” and this year the Sunday school of the Sam Jones Memorial church have de cided to add something just a little dif ferent to the usual Thanksgiving cele bration program. On Monday evening November 6, at a meeting of the Sunday school coun cil, after discussion of plans it was de cided by the council to ask every mem ber of the Sam Jones Methodist church to bring a donation to the church Sun day morning, either to Sunday school or to the 11 o’clock service, and give to the council committee, or to take to the city hall Monday or Tuesday and leave with Mr. Cook, who has promised to co-operate with the committee, espe cially in the distributing of the clothes and provisions which may be sent, and to see that the money given is wisely spent. Anyone who desires may contribute to this fund and every donation will be given to some worthy family. The following committee was select ed by Mrs. J. R. Whitaker, of the Sun day school council: Prof. J. W. Jack -8on t Mrs. Sam P. Jones, Mrs. Zimi Jack son. The great need for second-hand gar ments and shoes for many of the school children in the city of Cartersville and the entire county makes the Thanks giving gift imperative, and there are many people over the county worthy, perhaps even ss worthy as you and 1, who, through no fault of their own are in great need: and if you cannot give money, jv u can give home products— the main thing is to GIVE. FARM BUREAU MEETING STARTS NEXT MONDAY Atlanta Will Be Host to Great Gathering of Farmers From Every Section of the Country. Bartow Will Send a Strong Delegation. Can the farmers of America so or ganize their business that the nation’s food supply will be assured? This question of intimate concern to every city man and farmer alike is closely related to the third annual meeting of the American Farm Bureau Federation, which convenes’ in Atlanta next Monday morning at 10 o’clock, at the Auditorium. Mr. Hugh Gilreath, one of the most prominent farmers of Bartow county', together with Mrs Judd, of Dalton, rep resent the Seventh district farmers, on the state advisory board. Mr. Gil reath will attend the meeting in At lanta, and among other representative farmers and business men who are ex pected to be among the large number from this county are County Agent C. H. Cox. Messrs. Robert Boyd, H. C. Stiles, W. A. Dodd, R. W. Jackson. Honrv Milana, E. W- Smith, W. C. Wal ton, L. F. Shaw. J. W. Vaughan, W. W Trimble, J. L. White, M. L. Upshaw, and others. Georgia Products. During the sessions of the Federation in Atlanta, Mr. Gilreath reports that plans have been made to serve the vis iting delegates with Georgia products at ail the restaurants, and in the hotels, under an arrangement entered into by the program committee having the matter in charge. The visitors from the North and West will be shown just how good the Georgia sweet potato really is, when cooked right, and prove to them they are missing half their lives every time they sit down to eat without having some Georgia sorghum syrup on their tables. The girls from Agnes Scott college will serve a tempt ing menu, while the State College of Agriculture will have exhibits showing Georgia products—how they are grown, and furnish the visitor with “tried and trusted" recipes for using foods grown in the Empire State of the South. Thus will the meeting be used to further Georgia agriculture in a'way that will be of the most worth to the farmers of the state, none of whom will profit more than our own Bartow oounty farmers- Ait of the sessions of the meeting are open to the public, and it is especially urged that as many farmers from Bar tow county as can possibly attend this meeting, attend every session without fail. Absolutely no charges will be made, and no registration fee of any kind is necessary to obtain admittance. Already a Powerful Organization. During the last twelve months the farmers have built, in the Farm Bu reau. a powerful machine —a machine through which they have accomplished much. In four lines have they been particularly active. In organization. In the securing of agricultural legislation, in seeking the reduction of freight rates and in the establishment of co operative marketing enterprises. Through these and other activities, ihe Farm Bureau has become a most (Continued en Page Bix) L. M. Twiggs Is Methodist Pastor Here Rev. L. M.

A spirit of service is al. ways created in schools, and the natural result is better schools. Miss Alice R. Tyler, principal of the high school, presided over the meeting, and at the conclusion of Mrs. Andrews’ address a number of favorable remarks were made by those present.

ANOTHER CRIME COMMITTED AND BIG LOSSES TO BARTOW Notwithstanding the many appeals, warnings and ad vice given to our farmer friends by the government, the State Agricultural College, as well as cotton factors and mills, a Tribune-News reporter was surprised the past week in driving over various sections of the county, to see so many bales of cotton out in the weather. Mr. Farmer, this newspaper is your friend, now and always will be. And as a friend we again call your attention to the fact that cotton not only seriously deteriorates and loses in weight from being out in the weather, but, as the fall and winter rains are soon to set in, we again urge that you take your cotton out of the exposure. Thus will you protect the labor and investment you have already put into it. You sometimes complain at the loss, and docking in weight and grades, when it is a fact that if this cotton was properly housed, put into some good warehouse, you would abundantly save over the small warehouse charge of 75 cents or sl. per bale per month. “Quality production” is the next advanced step for the farmer, and The Tribune-News, in the spirit of help fulness, again calls the alarm: “Take Your Cotton in Out of the Weather.” ,jft PAGES TODAY $2.00 The Year GOLDEN WEDDING POPULAR COUPLE WAS CELEBRATED Mr. and Mrs. M.
