CKDALE RECORD, CONYERS, GEORGIA Aliss Evelyn AVillingham, now with Alurphy M. Holloway, judge of the Atlanta police court, entertained over the week-end for her friend, Aliss Alar garet Phagan, of the Underwood Type writer Cos., in Atlanta. Funny thing how everybody trains their daughters up to work these days, with never a thought about marriage. AVe used to train them up for marriage with never a thought of work. If a girl gets mar ried these days, why all they do is rent a room together and this is why two can live cheaper than one. If you want a real wife, we suggest that you marry a maid or a housekeeper and so specify it in your request for a license. Mr. and Airs. \A T . 11. Tucker enter tained their distinguished son, Prof. Quigg Tucker, of Rome, Ga„ over the week-end. Quigg has just qualified for the finals in the 7tli district bas ketball tournament. Airs. I. 11.

Easter Comes Cold and Windy Again Mar. 31 Riverside Golf club should give an Easter egg hunt this year, on Satur day, March 30th, for us boys—-using Golf balls as eggs. This is rather a bright idea, but something ought to be instituted whereby we old men could have some recreation in our second childhood. Course, some of us are so big, especially in the middle, that we could not hunt anything on the ground much, but a golf ball would make vis bend where nothing else would. It would be funny to see Bob Gailey and Foster Young trying to keep their eye on a little nest egg until they got close enough to pick it up. Riverside now has a beautiful little club house, arranged for a spacious dining hall, reception parlors, rest rooms and terraces —you’ll notice we said arranged for. There’s plenty room around the house for all of these. This house is-well built, with veranda on both sides, nicely painted white and electrically lighted and we are very proud of it. Mercer AA'. Hull, says lie made a forty over there the other day. Did not say on which green it was. The Rockdale Record force will chal lenge any banker to a game of golf or to lend them some money any day any bank wants to do either. New Business Opened by Mrs. Langford The Langford 5 and 10c Store will bo opened by Airs. Naomi Langford in the Almand building on Commerce street, opposite the American Theatre, Friday, Alarch 1. Airs. Langford is well and favorably known throughout this, her home town and county and it goes without saying that she will have the backing and support of her great host of friends throughout this section. Airs. Lang ford has filled her counters and shelves with new, snappy and useful articles direct from Bros., Jer sey City, and invites you to come in and look over her varied assortment of new and useful articles. This is but the fore-runner of several new enter prises booked for Conyers following our several years of bumper crops and general prosperity. Conyers has pass ed through its seven years famine and is now on the road to greater prosper ity and achievements. If 1929 proves to be a good crop year, we will fill ev ery business house in the community with renewed life, energy and climb to new heights of community successes. Yellow River Ain't AVhat it Used to Be Yellow river is one of the older streams and in keeping with age, has begun lo bulge out in the middle some what like Roland Huff and Ross Dav is. AA'ater is already up to the wagon bridge floor at Alinon. The Macon branch of the Georgia railroad fell prey to high water at Brown station this morning at eight o'clock, disrupt ing train service out of Macon. Geor gia is routing lots of water via Macon this week and the Ocinulgee is up town again. AA’here It.m <‘is up with ihe Oconee down at Dublin is another sto ry that will depend upon Doctor I’lin non and Dr. AleElvany to tell. These two doctors left this morning for a week’s fishing down there with Prof. R. 11. Fo.v. Can you imagine anybody fishing in South Georgia this week. AA’e don't want to make fun of these two boys, but if their fishing judgment is good, we are a good editor. Now that's plain and rough talk, but what would you think about us if you saw us sit ting out in a cotton pat h fishing in Yellow river this week. Exactly, and that’s what we thing about Chet and Harry.

C. in the list of names of Presidents, one of the most el'fi -1 cient of those serving in that capacity was omitted. Miss Mary Ntnnsell was elected Nov. 2S, 1911, following Airs. C. B. Hud son. and was su needed by Mrs. J. R. Irwin, Nov., 1912. It was under Aliss Stillwell's administration that the erec tion of a Confederate monument was launched, she served with much dig nity and to the entire satisfaction of the chapter.

Moon, of Porterdale and Miss Mu lena AA'iHlams to Miles Brownlee, both of Rockdale county. AA’e promised to write up the first man who objected to the increased marriage license ft*,?, which we caused to lie raised from $2.25 to $3.50. So far, nobody has kicked on the price of their bride. AA'e would like to see a bride that ain’t worth $3.50, anyway. Winter Proper Time to Clip Horses and Mules Horses and mules may be clipped almost any time In winter, provided the owner uses blankets after clip ping and properly houses the clipped animal. If the foregoing conditions are not complied with, better wait un til the weather is warm and dry be fore clipping. Clipped horses and mules when exposed to cold winds or cold rain are very liable to contract pneumonia or pleurisy or both and quite often distemper, strangles ov in fluenza. Early spring clipping fol lowed by exposure to cold winds while being snipped in open stock cars brings out many cases of colds, ship ping fever, Influenza or pneumonia.
