* Co* stantly being introduced,
new methods of doing things
are being discovered. The
funeral director must be ever on the alert if he is not to be
left behind.
That our organization realizes this is shown by the many improve
ments we have introduced. Our up-to-date motor equipment, our beau
tiful funeral chapel, our capable lady assistant and many other fea
tures of our service, are tangible proof of our desire to give this com
munity the advantage of the latest developments in our field.
Our service now equals the best that can lie secured anywhere in
a community of this size. AniJ when better equipment is built, or when
more efficient methods are discovered, tills organization will be among
the first to adopt them.

Watch for Our Brown
Section Next Week
The Rockdale Record will feature
a sliecial "Mediterranean Fruit Fly”
supplement next week, through the
Agricultural Bulletin of tin* Georgia
Railroad. In (ids supplement will Is*
found an exact portrayal in colors of
tills most recent and by far most des
tructive pest to gain a foothold in
America.
Mr. E. S. (tenter, general agricul
tural agent of the Georgia Railroad,
has become the outstanding pioneer in
combatting this unwelcome guest that
was suddenly thrust ii|s>n America nml
it is at his hands that America is
made acquainted with the nefarious
characteristics of this long dreaded
menace to t in* peace and prosperity of
mankind. The old Egyptian plagues
were ignored from time to tlipe, and
so far America has treated lightly
many pests, all the way up to the Tex
as flea and the boll weevil, hut as of
old, llie straw that' breaks the 'camel's
hack has ever lieon inevitable in the
midst of dormancy and who knows
hut that the Mediterranean Fruit Fly
will find America asleep. Mr. Tenter
Is furnishing the government more
than thirty thousand of these supple
ments, carrying the first alarm of the*
approach of this devastating enemy.
Monroe Golfers Play
Conyers One Up
Messrs. Ed L. Almand Jr., and part
ner, Mr. Laurier, of Monroe and tourn
ament players on the Athens links,
came over Monday for a try out on
Riverside with our Conyers hanker W.
Tharp** Baldwin and young Joseph
Towns. It was nip and tuck all the
way with the Monroe aces striking
a lucky putt on the eighteenth hole
for one up. Visiting golfers who ex
pect to have it all their way with our
younger playing golfers remind ns of
a country lass who had never been in
a modern hotel until she started on
her honeymoon. She was very much
disconcerted when she saw twin beds
in the room. When asked what was
the matter hy her very attentive hus
band, she said, looking at the two
beds, “I thought when we came here
we were going to have a room all to
ourselves.” We understand the Mon
roe links have been abandoned, and
wish to extend those splendid players
over there a cordial invitation to join
the* Riverside players, either with a
fifteen dollar membership or by way
of the usual fifty cent green fees. We
cannot imagine such splendid commun
ities ns Monroe and Madison being
without golf links. If they have some
thing better, it must he good indeed.
With one or two exceptions we like
golf better’n anything we’ve ever tack
led.

Play Ball Morning
and Afternoon
Conyers expects to celebrate the
grand and glorious -ith with two good
games of base hall, nine in the morn
ing and four in the afternoon. The
W. o. W. team of Hapeville, will spend
the day in Conyers. Manager C. M.
Fincher Is putting the grounds in tip
top shape this week and lias a cracker
jack hunch of players signed up to
furnish us some real hall playing. Of
course, the Rockdale Record is by
nature pro base ball, but in all fair
ness to the ladies, we must direct all
feminine traffic to the Riverside Golf
course, mainly on account of the
sparkling toggery on display out there.
The Links is no place for lions** dress
es, for you will find even your hus
band sporting around out there in
togs that indicate class only found
around Atlantic City and Costley’s
mill. Ft always <ll*l make our game
rotten to see too many ladies dress
like chaperones any way—kinder puts
a damper on our inspiration to sock
that old hall.
