E. Strickland Returns
From Short Visit
Mr. E. Strickland, Sr., has just re
turned from a short business trip tq
Evansville. Indiana* where he went as
a guekt of the Igleheart Brothers, fam
ous millers.
Mr. Strickland says he expected a
cordial welcome, hut was simply over
whelmed by the generosity and hos
pitality shown during his visit. This
company, one of the oldest in the world,
has come down through three genera
tions, and their plants are operated
along old-fashioned lines of honesty
and integrity. This fact, coupled with
the further fact, they are equipped with
the most modern machinery, enables
the Igleheart Brothers to market a
flour product that finds a ready sale
on any market.

place of cotton, said Mr. Evans.
Thousands of dollars have been de
posited in the Blackshear banks, he
said, and there is a general feeling of
optimism throughout that section, as a
result.

UNION MEETING
AT ADAIRSVILLE
GREAT SUCCESS
Spirit of Unanimity Pre
vails, and Desire Is For
Another Just Like It
Next Year.
By BELL BAYLESS,
Staff Representative.
Adairsville, Ga., Aug. 30.—(Special.)
East Sunday night a religious revival
of unusual character and interest in
Adairsville came to a close after run
ning for two weeks. It was a union
meeting conducted by the Method'st
and Baptist congregations. By an un
usual coincidence these two denomina
tions. due to the late peach season
this year, found themselves each run
ning revival services at the same time
in their respective churches.
The inconsistency of such a conflict
in so small a town as Adairsv lle was
seen at once, and on Sunday afternoon
of August 12th, a joint committer
from both churches met and arranged
for a joint series of services.
The first union service was held that
night: Tlie spirit of unity at once
seized the town On Monday it was
seen that neither of .he churches
r.r.uld hold .the Congregations, and ar
rangements were made to use a large
vacant building. All the seats were
moved from the two chiftvhrs. Three,
pianos were secured. Then from serv
to service the largest number of
Adairsville people tha: ever assembled
for liny purpose met dai y with abso
lute one-ness of spirit. Often the au
ditorium was unable to held the crowds
attending. Itefdfe this meeting n 0 one
even dreamed that such unity was pos
sible anywhere.
The preaching was done by Rev.
Charles Williams, evangelist of the
North Georgia Methodist confemece;
Rev. Mr. Gober, pastor of the Baptist
church,here, and Rev. Reynolds Greens,
pastor o: the local Method st church.
Their preaching was devoid of nar
rowness in any form. There was noth,
ing sensational or fantastic even sug
gested in their methods. Their sane,
practical appeals resulted in fifty-two
additions to the two churches, with
several more yet to join. By a happy
chance each thus far have received the
same number of additions. At least
one-fourth of,the new members are
heads of families.
The singing was under the leadership
ol Mr. Charles Miller, of the State Bap
tist Mission Board. He proved himself
a most able leader.
The business end of the meeting was
managed by Mr. Sam Bums. His work |
was so much appreciated that he was j
given a rising vote of thanks by the
congregation at the closing service last i
Sunday night. .
At the same time votes of thanks l
were given the visiting helpers in the 1
’meeting. Rev. Mr. Williams and Mr. j
Miller. The community has already,
expressed a desire for their return
next year.
More than S4OO was raised to meet
the expenses of the meeting.
Plans are already being discussed for
a similar meeting next year.

FORD ANNOUNCES
NEW TYPE CARS
Change in Ford Coupels
Outstanding Other
Changes Noted.
Detroit, Mich., Aug. 30. —(Special.)b—
Introduct'on of a higher radia.or.
bringing new and improved body lines
to all types of Ford cars, is announced
to-day by the Ford Motor Company.
The changes have just gone info ef
fect and the various types are now in
production.
While the larger radiator has been
made standard on all types and
while It has made possible other bet
terments in body design, there is no
radical departure in construction, but
rather a general Improvement which
has resulted in more graceful lines.
The new radiator sets an inch and a
half higher than the former and has
an aprftn at the bottom which joins a
similar apron effect of the fender on
either side, giving a highly finished sn.
pfrance to the front o; the car. The
larger radiator also increases cooling
efficiency.
Most conspicuous among the new
types is the Ford coupe, which is of en
tirely new body design and construc
tion, resulting in a more trim exterior
appearance, more comfortable seating,
arrangement and a greater luggage
carrying capacity.
From the dash there is a graceful
sweep in the cowl to the radiator, bring
ing a pleasing effect to the front. The
doors are wide and open forward, mak
ing access and exit easy, are
heavily framed for rigidity and
strength. The compartment at the
rear has been enlaged to afford in
creased • arrying cp.imrlty. The gaso
line tank is under the seat.-with divided
cusmous o afford easy filling of the
tank from the right side, making it un
necessary for the driver to leave his
seat. Ventilator in the cowl anti a
visor over ‘.he windshield add much to
the attractiveness of the car. Anew
rear fender of more sturdy character
also is a /eature.
Interior fittings are of choice mate
rial and the arr angement of the deeply
cushioned seat has been effected so
that at the rear there is a small recess
shelf for carrying parcels. The rear
i- a •' is much l ‘ •• ad oh -
!< :'- in shape. Door windows have
with the lever ; vpe window lifters
inee ts introduction a j ear avo, be
'mint' ot as low, graceful lines, the car
now presents even much better lines
and- a sturdier appearance.
This has been brought about by the
installation of an entirely new cowl
\vTth a graceful sweep from the dash
blending into the larger hood and ra
crpsae in leg room for occupants of the
' iator. The change also adorns aa in
front seat.
In the open types, the Touring Car
an ( ] Runabout, the cowl has been en
larged and flows In a graceful curve to
the higher hoed.
The result brings a most pleasing ef.
feet, to the ex.erior appearance pf both
types. The improvement in the Tour
.ing Car, which came when the one-man
top and the slanting windshield were
introduced, is greatly enhanced by the
larger radiator, the car appearing lower
and more attractive than ever. The ef
fect on the Roadster is likewise most
appealing, giving it a more rugged and
/Sirdy appearance.
The new radiator also is extended to
the Ford Truck chassis, affording im
proved appearance and better cooling
to delivery services.
These new Ford types and the gen
erally recognized performance ability
of the Ford under all motoring condi
tions, promise to bring a greater de
mand than ever before as the public
becomes more fully acquainted with
the higher standards and greater val
ues which have been In corporated. No
changes are contemplated in prices.
JOLLY MAKES
FINE APPLES
Has 200 Trees of “De
licious” Variety That
Are Doing Unusually!
Well.
-No finer apples were ever put on
display n any store in Cartersville, or
anywhere else for that matter, than a
small lot brought here recently by Mr.
H. L. Jolly, a progressive farmer re
siding four miles west of White.
Mr. Jolly has been experimenting in
horticulture, and specializing in ap
ples, for several years. Today he has
some two hundred trees of the "Deli
cious" variety, and they are now just
beginning to bear proliflcally. Asa
result, he will get more than one hun
dred crates this season, and such fine
quality are they he has no trouble in
disposing of them at $3 a crate.
His orchard is on a high hillside,
above the frost line, and he has given
it. careful attention. During the sea
son he has sprayed it seven times, and
the results speak for themselves, for
.his fruit is perfect, and extra large.
He believes that careful attention
and a s.udy of the needs of ripple
trees will amply repay any farmer.
Naturally, he is proud of his orchard,
and will take pleasure in showing and
explaining to anyone interested who
might call.
H s legion of friends are delighted to
see Judge J. M. Neel at home again

ed Ideal Spot For the
Gathering.
The annual barbecue, given under
the auspices of (he Cartersville Shrine

o'clock, and by 6 possibly three hun
dred or more were on hand to enjoy
the barbecue and other events.
The fast number on the program was
the barbecue. It had been cooked un
der the personal direction of Mr. Roy
Cannon, ably assisted by Messrs. Hen
ry Atwood. Dock Cham; ers and Nathan
Hood. They make up a quartet that is
tinbea.tibio, and the well cooked food
gave ample proof of their ability as
biirbecuers. The bread was made by
Tay or’s Bakery, and it wtis all that
cotilfl he asked tor in this line, of
course.
The guests were served lirst with a
libera’ helping of s. ew, which was
handled by a committee composed of
Messrs. Elbert Shaw, .1. J Hill, Claude
Conyers, Z. M. Jackson, W. J. Noble,
Will Branton. 11. M. Elliot:, J M. Gon

others.
After the stew came great platters
of barbecued pork, beef, mutton and
lamb, with all the trimmings, not to
nrei tion soft drinks of all kinds in am
ide quantities.
It was indeed a feast, and all pres

have been otherwise, when such fel
lows a Carl Nelson, Eugene W, Smith,
M. T. McWhorter, W. W. Calaway and
James H. Shaw were -the directing
forces as the general arrangements
committee?
Quite a large number of tickets were

and (luting the evening dancing was
enjoyed by those who are devotees of
the terpslchorean ar . A special or
chestra from Atlanta furnished the
music, and those not dancing enjoyed
the occasion just the same.
The fair grounds proved an ideal
spot for such a gathering, and no
doubt this was the first of many happy
"occasions that are to follow.
