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- PIANO RECITAL— Mrs. H. M i Sanders, teacher <f piano in the Pembroke High Mh<.ol, will present her pupils in two recitals next week.

PEMBROKE, GEORGIA MAY 12, 1949 “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.

Tenney- Next Sunday afternoon at three thirty at the Pembroke Advent Christian Church, Rev. C- V. Tenney, of Savannah will preach on “Lazarus And The Rich Man”, and we are looking for a large crowd to turn out and hear this able man preach on this subject. Rev.

The Advent Christian Church is located in front of The Jour nal office and we feel sure a large number from the other churches will attend Sunday af jernooh. Ye editor plans on attending. F. F. A. News (Billy Stewart Reporting 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.

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 Richmond Hill Graduation Plans Completed, — Baccalaureate “Sermon To Be Delivered By Rev.
