MERIWETHER COMMUNITY CLUB
HOSTESS TO BALDWIN COUN
TY FEDERATION LAST THURS
DAY.
We are just as sure as we can be
that the Weather Man had a special
friend that was invited to that “al-
day-get-togcther-meetiiifc” which took
place at the Meriwether school house
last Thursday, when that Community
Club entertained the Baldwin County
Federation at the fall meeting. Why?
Because it was surely due to rain—
everything pointed that way—but—
it didn’t.
From the time the writer left town
in that beautiful new car of Superin
tendent and Mrs. Bivms (being hon
ored by going out with the president
of the Federation also Mrs. J. L.
Beeson) she just knew everything
was going to work out all right—rain
and all. Sure enough—by the time
we reached the school house, old So 1
was doing Ip's best to help Miss Stiles,
her school children and all the com
munity people to welcome their guests
To the older members of this club, it
must have brought back the good old
days when people had time tc invite
folks to spend, the day with them,
there “ain’t no such animal now,”
and that ir. the reason we federation
people are so glad we have a chance
twice a year to mee; our friends no!
only for tin good wovl-: we are trying
t i 1 ester but :ii fellowship m- veil. It’s
surely a poor life when we haven’t
time co visit with friendg.
I realty should have stated in the
beginning that I w anted a whole page
to write up this occasion, but know
ing I ouldn’t get it, I’m going to take
as little as I can, maybe about three
columns.
From the time we all sung Ameri-
ua, to the last note of ”God be With
You Till we Meet Again,” the day
was filled with things worth while. Mr.
Howard’s invocation was sweet and
inspiring, while Mr. W. I. Harper’s
words of Greeting made us feel we
were welcome as the flowers in May.
The response to the welcome address
was made by Mrs. E. R. Hines, and
right here comes the bad part of hav
ing to write up a thing when you
yourself were on the program. You
have to be modest t and can’t even say
Vou think you made a right good
speech. Anyway—it was short—and
people praised that part of it. But
the writer couldn’t help but brag a
little about the Tenth District and
said that day was exactly in the right |
place and you wondered how she
could lit things in so well.
\Ve also have another feather in
>ur cap by owning such a speaker as
Jol. Fail.' ■“ Giles, for he made the!
pooch of prescnta.ion of the flag to
die school. It was.beautifully done
nut the unior Order of American A!
chnnics should be proud that they
.elected him to represent them on
this occasion. The flag was as lx mti-
,'ully accepted for the school by the!
teacher, Miss Eita Stiles, woo needj
,io introduction. She is a Baldwin 1
first most vital and important point i
is—to work yourself. Everybody I
take notice.

now—you may stop.

us back to “Ole Yirginny”—while
Air. Nash made us smeh the fragrance

Maybe you haven’t been out to
Meriwether recently to a barbecue
dinner—with all the other things
which go on the side, like pies and
pickles, and ham, and chicken, salad
—two or three kind— and cake and
old fashioned syrup custard (we
hadn’t tasted a bite since we used to
wear sunbonnets) coffee, and—arid-

they know HOW to insist. We will j
just have to leave the dinner where it
is now and hurry on—but we didn’t
leave that day—we stayed right thru
and was the last one to wash our
hands and go into the house to the
singing.
Now do you know, Mr. Bivins
knows how to get people to get up
and talk—and that is a gift. He had
charge of the Round Table durng the
afternoon session, and a.q it was “A
Fetter Baldwin” everybody was in
terested. He threw the meat'ng open
of course, and many made short im
promptu talks. Among those who
were on the program were Mrs.

GEORGIA MAN
HAD QUITE A SIEGE
In Hospital, Rut Improved Greatly After
Taking Ziron Iron Tonic.
In a recent statement, J. H. Martin
of Mount Vernon, Ga., says:
“I was in the hospital with stomach
trouble and had quite a sic-ge. It
ecemed I would never get my strength
back after I came out, I had been so
111. I ached all over. I was nervous,
restless and yet did not feel f’ke get
ting around. My skin was yelD^, My
appetite poor. I was in pretty bad
shape and began to look around for a
tonic. I felt like part of the trouble
was lack of iron in my blood. I was
eo easily worried, so easily upset. 1
heard of Ziron and knew it would help
me. I began to take it and the im
provement ivas great, It strength
ened me, renewed my nerves and
toned up my system,”
When you feel that you need
strength, remember that Ziron is a
perfected preparation of iron salts,
combined with other strength-giving
ingredients. Try Ziron.

We could hardly tell which we liked
best. Mr. Bivin’s introduction of Col.

speech, but we listened to both with
equal interest and they were fine. The
community singing led by Miss Mc
Clure, with Miss Tucker at the piano
and Mr. Nash with his cornet, pleas
ed everybody and wonderful to say
brought out some new voices in our
midst. We knew there were some
people that didn’t like to sing in a
among them we found Mr. Dixon Wil-
crowd. doing only solo work, and
liams, Dr. Dawson Allen and Mr.
Caldwell, our farm demonstrator.
They did a marvelous thing, sung a
trio with the help of three other gent
lemen who were so modest they
woudn’t allow their names used, and
no one of them kept the same time.
It is very difficult to do, and Miss Mc
Clure appreciatted their work so much
that she called their names out. There
was also a quartette that s tood in the
doorway, who Sang, but we couldn’t
get their narn'es, they left before we
reached them.
Mrs. J. L. Beeson is always good,
and always ha s the right word in the
fight place. If there was such a thing
as a square peg in a round hole in the
county federation of ours shed soon
get things around where the peg
would be round or the hole would be
square, trust her for that and she is
known as our Pollyanna, because she
always ha s a way to smooth every
thin;' out. We couldn’t get along
without her, and under her splendid
guiding hand our county federation
has become a power. Every word she

he says we are. |
But if you will only thing a mo- j
the verse j menl and recognize the fact that we
had our Health Commissioner, Farm |
Demostrator, Community Service
man, several members of the board
of Education, a county Commissioner j
our Postmaster, members of the Jun-I
ior Order presidents of all the clubs i
of the county, some of our best mus
icians (We’ve made Mr. Nash an hon
orary member of the Federation—he
surely helps us with his cornet) our
County School Superintendent to say
nothing of all the interested friends
of the ounty as well as that communi
ty—all there advising and planning
ways and mean s to help Old Baldwin
—don’t you think that something is
going to happen? We think it will.
Mrs. J. F. Miller, secretary of the
Federation read the minutes of the
last meeting which was held at Coop-
erville, and with “God Be With You
Till We Meet Again” ringing in our
ears, we all went home, sure that in
spending this Armistice Day planning
for things to make our county better,
we were on the sure road to a wonder
ful patriotism; a road which would
be approved by “our boys” who lie in
Flander’s Fields, where poppies blow.
Mrs. Hutchinson, leader of the Red
Cross oil Call had been thoughtful
enough to bring with her some red
poppies, which she presented to the
presidents to wear, this flower hav
ing been adopted by our country to
wear on Armistice Daf in memory of
the place where “poppies grow, be
tween the crosses row on row.”
Now, everybody, let’s pull for the
Baldwin County Federation! You
have had it proven to you that we are
in DEAD earnest about wanting to
HELP, and won’t all of you—help us
to help? We need the organized ef
fort of every force in our county to
make her what we want her to be,
and we should not “weary in well
doing.” We already have a reputation
of being a “live wire” in club work,
and Mrs. Beeson has had a number of
inquiries a s to how she managed to ,
