SIX WEEKS COURSE OF
THE SUMMER SCHOOL HERE
The Union Recorder in its an
nouncement last week of the Sum-
school of the G. S. C. W., stated
that the school would “open June 14
and close on July 23, continuing
four weeks.”
The latter part of the paragraph
will be readily seen was an error
and should have been six weeks
stead of four weeks.
six weeks Summer School will
be conducted, and a student complet
ing the course successfully will re
ceive the usual credits.
A splendid course of studies and
lectures has been arranged and the
indications are that the school will
be filled to its capacity, with students
i all sections of Georgia, as there
already a lurge number of ap
plications on file.

THE UNIVERSITY FACULTY
EULOGIZE DOCTOR PARKS
ssolutions Adopted Deploring I
o State. One of Georgia’* M
Uc ful and Di*tingui*hed Mei
A sp *cial committee appointed at
recei t meeting of the University j
of Georgia faculty passed resolutions
the death of Dr. M. M. Parks, [
expressing the grief of and the great
u to the University system.
The resolutions were signed by R. j
J. Wooftcr, R. P. Stevens and John
R. Fain, and in part are «s follows:
The news of his passing came as
a great shock to us, and it brought
the deepest of sorrow to the faculty,
the students, and the thousands who
have been students in the college
over which he presided with such
singular ability. For all of these, for
the whole state of Georgia, and for
the cause of education in the entire
nation, his death is a great calamity.
Within this period the college was
developed from one small in num
bers, limited in buildings and equip
ment, and meager in support to it?
present admiral'** status as a great
institution of the state. With rare
singleness of purpose and unsweiv-
ing zeal, he devoted thsee best years
of his life to the accomplishment of
this development. He has left an en
during monument not only in the
visible greatness of the college but
also in the affections of the thous
ands of students whose lives he
touched.
In his educational ideals he was
«n original. Breaking with much that
wsis traditional, ,he sought newer
adaptations in a modern world. As
an administrator he developed re
markable genius. Like genius often
must do, he sometimes traveled new
paths alone, sometimes was misun
derstood, and doubtless, was some
times lonely in his apartness. \et
these are characteristic signs of ge
nius. History must nay trbiute to
him as one of Georgia’s most useful
and distingusihed citizens, and a?
one of the foremost educators of

The cadet hatallion staged an ex

of the city early Tuesday morning in
honor of the memory and in celebia-
tion of the birthday of George Wash

The drill began about 8:30 and

part of the celebration by the cadets.
At the chapel services at 11 o’clock
Dr. Holmes eulogized the Father of

The hatallion in their drills in the
city showed excel!' .t training and
commanded the attention of hun

Milledgeville as heretofore the day
had passed off rather quietly.

LITTLE GIRL PAINFULLY
BURNED ON LAST SUNDAY
Marjorie, the five-year-old daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Hooten,
was badly burned Sunday, and is
now under the care of physicians.
The little girl’s clothing cuught fin-
while she was standing in front of
an open grate, and before the blaze
could be extinguished she was pain
fully burned. Her suffering has been
intense, but she is getting along as
well as could be expected.
Another effort will be made to ship
a c-ar of sweet potatoes from thiB
county next month. A like undertak
ing was made several months ago, but
due to the unsatifactory market and
shortage of tonnage being listed the
sale went under.
Before the sale can be made list
ing must be completed and the farm
agent has set the Anal listing day
for March 4th, and if those who wish
to sell and ship their potatoes are
not in by this date, they wjll have to
wait until another date.
In a communication to the farm
ers Agent Nesmith says: “I want to
insist that you give as near the num
ber of bushels y*- .i have for sale as
you can, b»Ci»uKv* *V'.-*-u list 26 bush
els and do not deliver but 15, it will
probably cause us to get a low bid.
By all means list promptly, let me
have the information as soon as pos
sible so that I can have something
to work on in matter of sales.”
The following rules for grading
are given for the information of
those wishing to ship: Banked stock
should be graded 1A4 inches to 4
inches diameter, -all cracked, deform
ed. diseased or potatoes showing
signs of diseases culled out. No stock
falling below to above grades will be
accepted.
It is the desire of the farm agent
to get this car listed at once and a
good market secured. Careful co
operation of the shippers is desired.
TheStewards of the Milledgeville
Methodist Church met at the par
sonage Tuesday evening for the pur
pose of electing a chairman to suceed
the late Dr. M. M. Parks.
Mr. M. S. Bell, who has served as
Vice-chairman for several years past
was placed in nomination, and with
Rev J. F. Yarbrough in the chair,
elected without opposition. Mr. Bell
then took the floor, expressed his
appreciation of the honor, reviewed
his long connection with the church
and as a member of the Board. He
closed with the statement that he
though* the best interest of the
church, demanded that he decline
to accept the chairmanship, and that
his decision was final.
Several names were placed in nom
ination, and the balloting resulted
in the election of Mr. H. G. Bone,
who in a short talk accepted, pledg
ing his hest efforts, and asking the
co-operation of the members of the
Board.
R. B. Moore was elected Vice-
chairman. Mr. Bell also resigned as
chairman and member of the finance
committee and that committe was in
structed to re-organize and elect a
chairman.
Mr. E. E. Bell, who has served as
Treasurer of the Board for more
than twenty-three years, asked the
acceptance of his reoign^.^n, stating
that he was finding the work taxing
on him, and thought that it was best
for him to retire, and a younger
man be named for the office. He re
fused to listen to protests.
Mr. S. D. Stemhridge wass elected
Treasurer suceeding Mr. Bell.

G. I. A. A. TOURNEY
OPENS MARCH 2
CADETS IDLE FIRST DAY. MEET
WINNER OF BARNESVILLE AG
GIE-UNIVERSITY SCHOOL AND
THURSDAY. r
With fourteen teams ready to toe
the mark next Wednesday night to
bring into history the G. I. A. A.
Tournament of 1927, to determine
the wearer of the crown in the Junior
Association, the Macon Chamber of
Commerce is making plans and get
ting things in readiness to make the
most successful of the season.
At least six of the teams entered
are championship material .and a
merry fight is expected to be waged.
Te; ch High, Boys’ High, Lan'er,
Barnesville Aggies, Riverside and G.
M. C. all loom up as likely cham
pions. Lanier, of course, has the
edge in as much .as they are in their
own back yard and among their own
friends. We do not believe Lanier
has the best team, but in past his
tory they have won the laurels with
a team that couldn't win from the
team they defeated in one out of ten
tries.
G. M. C. will witness the first days
play from the side lines, having
drawn a bye. On Thursday they will
meet the winner of the Bamesville-
University School game and the dope-
sters have it Barnesville, even though
University has one of the strongest
teams in the Atlanta High School
Leagues. If luck smiles on our boys
and they win the opener, the second
game will come with Tech High on
Friday night, of course this is dope,
and dope is nothing more than a mere
man’s opinion, which is not so infal
lible.
The cadets are in splendid condi
tion and are entering the tournament
in fine shape. They have their chance
in many years to cop the much cov
eted chumpionship honors. Their rec
ord sh own a fine string of victories
and they can not be considered light
ly in the tournament.
A strong delegation of citizens and
students will attend the games. If
the Rentzmen should go to the finals
the band nad students will attend
