The pig and corn clubs will close
Saturday of this week.
The following rules will govern the i st -yli3hly dressed young white women
closing of these clubs: j entered the Jose P h Department Store
and purchased a sweater, several pair
of silk hose and a pair of white kid
globes, the total purchase amounting
to $9.17, in payment of which they
tendered a check for $25 drawn on
the First National Bank of this city,
payable to bearer and signed by J.
E, Scott. The check was accepted
and the women were given $15.83 in
change. They left the store and en
tered a waiting automobile, and went
to the Boaz Shoe Co. store and re
quested the manager, Mr. A. J. Skin
ner. to show them shoes for boys,.
After much discussion they purchas
ed two pair cf these shoes and a pair
of ladies boudoir slippers and tender
ed a check in payment of the bill,
amounting to $14.90.
The check was similarly drawn as
that tendered the Joseph Department
S + ore and was signed by J. E. Rice.
They received $10.10 in change, and
left the store, entering their automo
bile.
In the meantime, Mr. J. R. Smith,
manager of the Joseph Department
Store, became suspicious and called
up Mr. J. C. Ingram and Mr. Jon
Hutchinspn, assistant and cashier of
the First National Bank and on in
quiry learned that no such person as
J. E. Scott carried an account at the
bank. A few minutes later Mr.
Skinner called up Mr. Hutchinson and
was given like information.
As soon as they learned that the
checks were forgeries, they immedi
ately began a hunt for the women,
and the officers were notified. In a
short while they were located at the

expenses they can bid it in them
selves and take it back home. Let
every ch ; ld bring their pigs in to be
judged for the prize that you have
been working for all the year. This
is the last call on you club members

value this year. You will not have
another chance at these prizes at all.

It was learned in Milledgeville last
Thursday that the hoard of mana
gers of the Georgia Training School
for Boys had at a meeting held in
Atlanta December 1st decided to re
lieve Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Bonner of
their duties as superintendent and
matron of the institution.
Mr. Bonner received notice of such
action on the part of the board on
Thursday, and it came as a surprise
f o him. as he had not learned that
such a step was being contemplated.
He has written to the chairman «f
the board. Mr. F. J. Paxon of At
lanta, asking for a hearing so that
the reasons why he was dismissed
could be made public. It is reported
that a few months ago Mr. Bonner
received a letter from Mr. Paxon
highly commending the work that he
and Mrs. Bonner were doing at the
school.
It is learned that there were no
charges against Mr. and Mrs. Bon
ner, but that the bonrd intended to
secure the services of one more ex
perienced in juvenile reform work to
carry out plans the board has in
mind to enlarge the scope of the
work being done by the institution.
Mr. and Mrs. Bonner have been
connected with the institution since
June, 1919, and during this time
there has been great improvement
in the conditions in and surrounding
the school. They have manifested a
fatherly and motherly interest in the
boys and won their lcve and confi
dence, thus having a most wholesome
influence upon them. The work Mr
and Mrs. Bonner have done at the
institution along all lines has been
touched with a spirit of sympathy and
devotion, which has been highly com-

nn audience that filled the auditorium
to its capacity.
It was expected that the address
would have been delivered by Hon.
L. Q. Stubb, of Dublin, but a few
days prior he was compelled to can
cel his engagement on account of
illness. Dr. J. C. Wilkinson, pastor
of the Baptist church, consented to
make the address in his stead.
The exercises were most impres
sive and a most interesting program
was carried out. Exalted Ruler J. H.
Ennis presided.
The musical program was rendered
by the Davis Orchestra, and several
of Milledgeville’s most talented sing
ers. This feature and the rendition
of■ Thanatopsis by Mrs. Thos. Reese
was highly appreciated by the audi
ence, and aided in making the occa
sion a most impressive one.
Col. Jos. E. Pottle paid a touching
tribute to the memory of those mem
bers who had died during the year.
The address of Dr. Wilkinson was
spoken earnestly and eloquently and
was listened to attentively by the
audience. Through the address ran
the highest and noblest sentiment, as
the speaker pointed the way to the
ideal life.

10 ^JABLiSH SCHOOL
Illiterate Convicts Will Have a
Chance For Good Education.
Warden Smith Permits Organiza
tion of Institution For Inmates.
Illiterate convicts who are sent to
the State Farm now have a chance to
secure a good education if their pe
riod of penal servitude is long
enough. Captain James E. Smith,
warden, has permitted the establish
ment of a prisoners’ school, to bo
taught by convicts under the general
supervision of P. N. Fivins, superin
tendent of public schools in Baldwin
county. Jack Birchmore, who is
nerving a four-year term at the peni
tentiary, is principal of the school.
He is assisted by several other pris
oners, who are capable of teaching
various branches.
Vocational Training a Specialty
The classes are being graded and
special classes for vocational training
are being formed. The primary les
sons in reading, writing and arith
metic as prepared by M. L. Brittain,
secretary of the Georgia Illiteracy
Commission, nre being used in the
lower or primary classes and other
text books are obtained from the
pfate prison library or from a fund
raised by the people of Milledgeville
through the good offices of Mrs. N.
A. Woody.
The establishment of the school is
in furtherance of the plans of Cap
tain Smith to conduct the prison
along modern lines and develop what
ever latest good may be in the men
who arrive there, and to improve the
mental and moral condition of the
men who are placed under his juris
diction during their imprisonment.
Among the prisoners are a number
of men who are well qualified to
tench mechanics, eleetrieal work of
••arious kinds, stenography, book
keeping, etc. and the men so quali
fied have shown a commendable
readiness to impart what they know
to their fellow prisoners who may
not have had their opportunities to
secure an education or trade. Su
perintendent Rivins has expressed the
belief that the school will be a great
success.

Bank Service
The true worth of a man or woman is the measure of his or
her character.
Did it ever occur to you that precisely the same is true of a
banking institution?
If this bank enjoys success and a high reputation; if it is a
truly up-building force in the community; if it is fulfilling
its highest mission as a bank, it, is all due to the character
that makes it the institution it is.
