Neighbor Dubois
Is ‘Hunky Dory’
Ye editor has one neighbor in
Pembroke that we are very
. fond of. He is none other than
Hagan Dußois, one of the City
Jouncilmen, and one of our bar
oers, who finds time to have
one of the finest gardens in our
town, and who thinks of ye edi
or and his family, by giving
him some -of the finest vegeta
bles that wo have ever enjoy
ed.
Hagan Dubois is one of Pem
orokeY best citizens, he is just
in ordinary country cracker
that spends half of his time at
tending to his own business and
the other half letting the other
fellows alone. He is one of our
aardest workers, as during the
last few days we have been
getting down to the office a
round six o’clock and we find
friend Dubois already down and
at work, at the present time
he is repainting the Advent
Christian Church, which is di
rectly in front of our office.
He puts in several hours at
this before going into his bar
ber shop to serve his people.
In his race last March for a .
place on the City Council, the
people showed their apprecia
ion of Hagan Dußois by giving
him a fine vote. He was sec
ond high man out of a field of
five good men.
If ve editor had several more
friends like Hagan Dubois, life
would be easier tor us. So many
people just don’t sem to ever
think of ye editor.
We value the friendship of
Hagan Dußois-

“808 AND FANNIE RETIRE”—
The news that Bob Majors of Claxton had
sold his plant was a shock to ye editor, for dur
ing the past twenty five years Bob Majors and
ye editor have been very close, and for several
years we printed oui paper in the office of The
Claxton Enterprise, and we believe that we are
the only neighboring newspaper man that had
a key to Bob Majors printing office. We used
his office as ours, and during the years that we
worked together there never was any friction or
misunderstanding. Yes, we are going to miss
Bob Majors more than any one else.
While we are now printing in our own of
fice, and from all practical purposes, we are in
dependent of any other office, still with Bob Ma
jors at Claxton, we alw*^ had an “ace in the
hole,” for he would always favor us by getting
out our paper, and if neccessary mail it for us.
We are not the only ones that will miss Bob
Majors and his printing office. The neighbor
ing newspaper plants will miss him, for he was
always doing something for a brother publisher.
But the biggest loss will be to the people of Evans
county and the City of Claxton.
They are the ones that have suffered the
loss. We do not know the gentleman that has
took over The Enterprise, we are told he is a fine
man, and a competent newspaper man, but he
is going to find out that he has “stepped into the
shoes of a mighty Big khan,” to say nothing of
the part that Fannie Majors played, and she had
a big part.
Claxton will learn in the weeks ahead of the
worth of Bob Majors to them and their town. The
people of Claxton and Evans county took light
ly the many things that Bob and Fannie Majors
did for their county, and it is another case of
“missing the water after the well goes dry.”
Bob Majors took over at Claxton a short
time before ye editor came to Pembroke, he took
over a business that was hardly worth having
and built it into one of the most desirable busi
ness propositions in this section, and sold it for
enough to be able to retire, if that is what he
wants to do.
He has raised a family that Claxton and
Evans county has every right to be proud of.
His boys, Robert, is married and is in business at
Jesup, Raymond is married and in business at
Claxton, Louis is married and has gone to New
York to live, following the sale of the paper,
Frank is married and has a responsible position
with the Atlanta Constitution, and the baby boy.
Jack, he is in school at Georgia, finishing up his
education, which was interrupted by his military
i service during the war. His son Frank was cap
tured by the Japs on Corregidor and was a pris
oner of war of the Japs, having survived the
“infamous” Bataan Death March. Their daugh
ter, Elizabeth is married to Carl Sorensen, and
lives in Chicago where Carl has a good position.
We look for Bob to get back into the business
somewhere, as soon as he has caught up with his
loafing, and it won’t take a great deal of it for
him to soon get caught up.
Best of luck to you, Bob and Fannie, for you
deserve a rest after the many years of labor in
the printing business in Claxton.

C- V. Tenney, of Savannah will
preach on “Lazarus And The

The Pembroke Chapter- of
Future Farmers of America
elected officers for the coming
school term of 1949-1950
Friday, May 6th. in the Agri
lultural Class Room.
The election was held by
secret ballot. The ballot was
orinted and was a duplication
of the type used in County E
lections. By holding the elec
Hon in this manner, it is believ
ed by our FFA members that
we will know more how to vote
other ballots when we become
of age than if we did not have
practice before hand.
Those elected for the coming
school year are:
Bobby Payne, President
Thomas Bacon, Vice-Presi
dent.
Marion Porterfield, Secre
tary.
Thomas Waters, Treasurer.
Norman Sutton, Reporter
Shelby Strickland, ParFa
tnentarian.
Each of these officers holds
the degree of Junior Farmer
in the Chapter and each have
done outstanding work this
school year. With these capa
ble members in charge of the
Pembroke FFA Chapter, the
chapter will advance toward
greater achievements during
this coming year.
Mr. Ellis D. Sikes, our Ad
viser, said he is well pleased
with the advancement the
chapter has made during ;ts
second year of existence in the
Pembroke High School. In a
very few schools so Mr. Sikes
said, has the chapter done or
achieved so much as have the
Pembroke Chapter during the
second year of their existence.
This is due to the cooneration
of Mr. Edwards, our superin
tendent, the leadership which
the FFA members have shown
and the cooperation of people
