Convenes Here Next
Week—Many Dele-
gatesand Visitors
Pleasant Trip
to Savannah
On next Wednesday Douglasville will
have assembled within her borders a dis
tinguished body of men, who from a fra
ternal standpoint, represent one of the
best organizaions in existence, whose com
mand is: “Visit the sick, bury the dead
and education the orphan,’* which from
time immemorial they hav e adhered to,
and will not fail to follow up until the
Ia« trump is sounded and time shall be
no more.
Many are the darkened homes that
have been lighted by this noble band
after the head of the home has passed out.
Some of our brightest minds of today can
trace their success back to a home some
where in this broad land provided by the
knights of the "Three Links’’ for their
protection and advancement where the
protection of a father and the love of a{
mother are its catdinal virtues. But for
these havens they might have passel!
through the world in ignorance and want/
and at last be deposited in a pauper's
grave. God bless this noble band, who
under the guidance of a great and loving
Jahovah, are always ready to provide fo
/he homeless ones and those in distress.
The Twelfth Division of Odd Fellows
is composed of the counties of Douglas,
Carroll Haralson Heard, Coweta, Meri-j
wether and Troup, in whose domains
there are a total of twenty-five lodges/
representing a membership of approxi
mately two thousand or more good and
Every lodge in the division will be
loyal members.
represented by delegates and visitors, to.
whom every door will be open, that they!
may not only get a taste of Douglasville
hospitality which is world-famed, hut
also to show them that we feel honored!
in having them in our midst, and will |
do nil in our power to make their stay,
Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Giles met their son,
Mourice in Savannah last week. The
U. S. S. Tatnall, on which their 'son is
now an officer in the signal service, had
anchored in Savannah harbor for a short
stay.
The Tatnall was named for a Savan
nah man, and the town was turned over
to the 40 men and officers on board the
ship. They were accorded their homes to
spend the night. They were taken in and
given a good time.
Their ship left Savannah last Wednes
day and from there they go to Havana,
Cuba; there they stop for lo days, and
then sail to Vera Cruz, Mexico; thence
to Central America, on to the Panama
Canal; through that to Colon, and on to
San Francisco, Cal., hoping to reach their
destination by Decemher 25. There they
join the Pacific Fleet to which the U. S.
S. Tana 11 belongs.

Next Lyceum
Attraction
'Phe next number in the series of ly-
ceutn entertainments being presented here
under the n\ispices of the Civic League,
will be Frank B. Logan, one of the world’*
greatest cartoonists.
His program is a big one. Splendid
color effects are obtained, with lightning!
rapidly. Logan works fast and reads as
he works. His illustrations of the Robert
Service poems are splendid. His art is
j 11st a little different from the ordinary
cartoonist. Only a part of his % entertain
ment concerns the war. His drawings ac
tually picture the many sides of life gath
ered from first hand experience.
'Flic first program of the Warwick
Quarteete is still fresh in the minds of
our people, who pronounced K the best
ever, and while Mr. Logan’s offering is
of a different kind, the reputation of the
tnaj) who is to give the performance is
sufficient guarantee that the auditorium
will be packed ,as it is seldom a town
the size of 1 Douglasville lias the opportu
nity of seeing such a world-famed artist.
Again, the proceeds of these entertain
ments are used by the ladies for the im
provement and beautification of our town.
So show our appreciation of their work
by a liberal patronage.
ter noon, when they met and established a
United States Bonded Warehouse, under
the direct supervision and inspection | of
Federal official::.
Mr. V. R. Smith will he proprietor of
this undertaking, and will use his new
factory building for the storage of cotton.
Under this arrangement the farmer, ;or
any one. for that matter, can store cotton
and take one of the uniform receipts alnd
secure money on themost favorable temps.
The Federal Reserve hank advances [ip
to 80 per cent of the value of the cotton so
stored. The cotton is graded by the State
Bureau of Markets in Atlanta witholut
cost to the owner, and when the grade
and weight is slitfwn on the receipt the c
is no doubt as to the value of the cotton.
Let it be understood that no one is goit g
to get something for nothing, as this is
no wheel of fortune game, but is intendejd
for legitimate business and anyone wish
ing to get advances on bis cotton on the
most favorable terms will patronize this
institution. Also farmer who are not
prepared to care for their cotton a home
will find it to their advantage to store
their cotton there, as tlu* warehouse charge
is only 25c a month, and the lowest in
surance rates prevail- Usually farmers
take their own risk when they keep their
cotton at home and do not insure it, hut
some farmers in this county this year lost
enough cotton by fire to insure their crops
for the next fifty years- The cotton can

cheaply it can he protected against fire.
out having to borrow money against it,
for this is intended not only to enable
you to borrow on it but for a place to
store under the greatest safety also.
The Sentinel will carry fully next week
the advantages of this enterprise and the
merchants of the city will set forth their
propositions for the handling of the crops
in the future. Watch for this announce
ment.
Mrs Syd Johnston was hostess to the
Matrons Club Friday afternoon, Nov.
5th. and entertained in her usual charm
ing manner. There being no special
color motif, the house was artistically
decorated in beautiful chrysanthemums
and. pot plants. After the business meet
ing. tables were placed for progressive
|ook. The place cards'were of a beauti
ful floral design and salted peanuts were
enjoyed during the games. After play
ing rook for tome-time, a delicious chick
en salad, sandwiches, sTced f omntoes with
1 easing, picklts. olives, w,«i*.s and hot
tea with lemon was served-
The meeting adjourned to meet next
with Mrs. Robert McKoy, who will en
tertain for Mrs. Augustus Ernest, one of
the former members and a welcome guest
at any time.
