THE BARTOW TRIBUNE SO® Cf BED IS GtLEGRATt AT AICO An Evening of Pleasure Was Participated in by Pocahontas Society. An interesting event in lodge circles v as that which tcok place at Atco last Monday evening when the lndepend nt Order of Red Men and the auxtl i; ry organization, the Porahontas So ciety, gave an entertainment to which v as invited the membership of both lodges, together with a number of visiters. On this occasion the Red Men parad ed in costume about the village of Atco in true Indian style, and was an a'tractive feature, not only to the par ticipants but to the inhabitants of the village as well.' Refreshments were served at the chapel and speeches were made, all of which were inter esting and instructive. The visitors were particularly delighted with the character of entertainment furnished, and when the evening, was ever a 1 were conscious cf having spent a most enjoyable time. The visitors present on this occas ion were W. C. Walton, of Carters ville; J. C. Leonard, of Emerson; an ' 11. Shugart, J. E. White and J. B. Reavers, of Calhoun. . The Indep ndent Order of Red Men at Atco is in a most flourishing condi tion and has a very large and influen tial membership. Affiliated with the Red Meii is the Pocahontas Society, also a secret order, composed of wo men. These two orders co-operate in public entertainments, and, in other ways, the organizations are closely af f: listed. The oflicers of the Red Men thero ere, Sachem, M. W. Hart; Senior Sag iraw, G. W§ Alien; Junior SagirpiW, W. M. Orton; Keeper of Wampam, W. L. Green; Chief of Records, R. A. Chi'- wood; Deputy Grand Sachem, Oscar Fallis. The officers of the Pocahontas So ciety are, Lula Keown, Keeper of Rec ords; Lula Neal, Pocahontas; Mary Parker, Wenonah; and Will Allen Powhatan. The greater number of members of these lodges live in the village of Atco but all are so closely identified with Cartersville and are in such close prox unity, all Cartersville takes a lively interest in their parades and public entertainments. RENT PROBLEMS HOW TO MEET THEM. Here is the law: "The advantages arising from the development of transportation facili ties, good agricultural education, the v. ise employment of chemical ma nures, co-operation for the economical purchase of feed stuffs and seeds, and tl.e energy spent on improving live s:ock, ultimately go past the tenant to the owner of the land.” The farmers of Belgium learned how to add five dollars a year to the Lutterfat value of the cow, by feeding a balanced ration. At once the land owners raised the rent, and absorbed the additional wealth the tenant created by intelligence and energy. The biggest problem that New York faces today, is rent. Nine-tenths of the merchants of the nation do business in rented houses, v bile the wage earner rarely eve * owns his own home. ‘‘Rent is like a great sponge set to - tween interest and wages. It steadily absorbes them both.” Is there a remedy? The Cartersville Building & Ixar Association is an organization to help humanity—worthy humanity. They e • courage, they beg you to save. They will supply your savings with more funds and help you to own your own home, or farm. They will help you tu improve it. To build walls, add te Ludldirgs, apply paint, increase the horse power, plow deeper. They stand fur saving upon the most profitable method?; they apply the saving to the development of Bartow. Don’t let another day ]>ass, unless you urge your child, the clerk, the wage earner, even yourself to inves, n the new May series and become a member of the soetety of savers. No greater medium of profitable saving confronts cur people.

WRECK OF NEW TRAIN LAST THURSDAY Tlie new train put on by the West e.n K- Atlantic railroad to accommo date local travel between Kingston and Chattanooga was initiated into the hazards of railroading last Thurs day when it came in violent contaC v.lth train No. 93 leaving Chattanooga at 7 o’clock in the morning. From what can be learned, it seems tear the Kingston accommodation had •lie right of way ami wa.s entitled to the schedule it was making and to tiii track it was moving over, but the engineer and fireman looking ahead end seeing the southbound train heal ing down upon them, reversed thei t ngine and had succ eded in stopping i' and starting it again south before the ciew of 00. 93 had discovered tba: there was such a thing in the world as the Kingston accommodation. The Kingston train, however, had picked np enough speed going in the same d'- roe fieri with 93 that the contact was .ot s< rious. The locomotives were somewhat battered up and travel was delayed but no injuries of a serlou > r.ature were rei>orted. It now being established lliat the Kingston train has a schedule. It is to he hoped that the other trains wil' l -ar this in mind and permit It t maintain its right to run hereafter without interruption. Invocation. . Christ the Lord Has Risen— Choir.
