Improved equipment is con- * 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.

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. See WATER FRONT a i AMERICAN TH EAT RE Friday and Saturday WANTED 2 Rooms, ground floor for lighthouse keeping.
