The Inst meeting of ti e Friday Lunch (Tub*for the old year was in many re- sper-tn one of the most enjoyable held since the organ i rat ion of the Hub. Col. Garland M. Jones was chairman, and after the dinner was over nnnuonced that he would call upon mrmbers present, without warning, for nn expression of their views ns to the outlook fof 1021, and some very clever talks were made by several of the guests present. In troducing the program of the day Col. Jones gave nn interesting review of the past year, which was so well received and so timely that we will undertake to reproduce his remarks here for the liencfit of those who were not privileged to hear him. He spo*ke ns follows— ' ‘ When I was called upon to take charge of this 'case’ today I realized at once that there was before us a very sick patient; one who is .105days • Id, and has Icm* than 12 hours yet to live; one who is in the agony of death; whose blood pressure is very high; whose respiration is poor; whose pulse is slow ami depressed; whose tempernture is far Ixdow normol, every symptom indicating ti>at he can barely live his allotted time, and must soon go hence into the forgot ten valley of departed years. However, as we gather around this festive lioard and watch the last hours of our patient, let me tell you this follow who dies tonight at 12 was not n very bad sort of fellow after all. He wns just human, even as you and I. He was born into thin world with n silver spoon in his mouth, if over one camo into the world thus equipped. In the spring of his youth he wns surrounded by more luxury than any of his predecessors. In the sum mer of his young manhood he reveled in wealth and abundnnre such ns wns never liefore known in the history of tho world. In the early autumn of his rnnftirity ho was still prosperous nnd suc cessful, but in tho winter of old age misfortuno overtook him, an it has many liefore him, nnd ho lies before us today with his fortuno wiped out, his crops and his business ventures failures, un able to meet his obligations—his profits, >en, a large i>ercentage of his values, shrunken nnd lost. Almost in his dy ing hour, a penniless old man. "But this fellow was not always thus. We enjoyed to tho fullest extent his childhood, his youth, and his young man hood. He brought to us much happiness, and abundant prosperity. More than three-fourths of his life amongst us luis been filled with joy, success nnd pl«U- ant memories; for it has only lieen about fiO of his 366 days which have been marked by failure, depression and gloom. During his life he brought us blessings too numerous to mention. I>*t me. name just a few in passing: The Coweta (’handier of Commerce, well organized, equipped, and rendering efficient service to our confmunity; the Country Club, now nearing completion, where all can enjoy hours of social intercourse and recreation; the hospital, well subscribed and organized, only awaiting the lift ing of this temporary depression to 1m* launched as a reality; permanent hard- surfaced roads bring actively laid throughout the county under Govern ment nnd State supervision; the Friday Lunch Club, a band of good fellows who love to meet together for an hour of social intercourse, nnd have shown by their con duct that they hold the interests of their city ami county dear to heart. And, above all, these things, together with the (ires of trial the past few months, hn\'e brought us all f loner together have caused us to look not so much .upon ourselves, but taught us to consider our fellow-man, and aid in lienring one an other’s burdens, which we are so man fully doing at this time. “Therefore, as I look upon him ns he breathes almost his last, I must say to you that Old Man 1920 was not half bad, but was more than three-fourths good. Let us take courage for the future, be cause as he goes from us there will lie born into tho world a babe—born in a hovel ns it were, and not in a palace, ns he wna—struggling in infancy with debt, depression and despondency. But these struggles will develop strength, vi tality, which will tell beforo this child has progressed far toward maturity.” The firms and individuals represented at the dinner wero; R. D. Cole Mfg.
