Wholesale Grocery.
When «<ked about the P nce of
flour and -ugar Mr. Carr said that
th ° had been little change in their
‘ in lht . last two or three years.
•‘Prune** are cheaper now than they
Invt ever been,” said Mr. Carr, "the
rr-ison I don’t know.”
Mr. Carr heartily endorsed Geor-
pja* Products Day and expresed the
opinion that it would prove advant-
jut ous to all Georgians.
* PLUS" ENERGY CARED FOR AT
G. M. C.
I>r. Holmes is a firm believer in
providing some means for taking care
,‘,f that "plus” energy possessed by
every normal boy. With other educa-
<irs he believes that it is this "plus”
energy which is largely responsible
f.. r the mischief in the average boy.
If wisely directed, this energy- can he
developed into something worth
while.
Accordingly, he is trying to pro
vide means at G. M. C. to meet this
need of the students. Scientific box-
inp is to be introduced with a regu
lar roped off arena. Already, four
sets of boxing gloves have been pro
vided. There are three tennis courts,
two volley balls courts, two basket
ball court!*—one indoor and one out
door, in addition to the football dia-
which rervea also os a baseball dia
mond.
The rifle team organized recently
has proved its worth by the results
of the scores last year. At present
the small indoor rifle range which
was completed last year meets all
necessary requirements. *
Another recent addition, the me
chanical drawing department, has be
come popular and is also instructive.
Strange enough this fact has not v*«t
been generally realized. Georgia fire
clays are the only clays that cannot
make face brick without the use of
an excessive amount of flux. How
ever, we experimented last year and
made a beautiful face brick from the
clay, but a great deal of flux and
heat wer e require din order to be sue
cessful with it
“It should be of interest to all
Georgians," Mr. Wysong concluded,
"to know that Georgia clay is the
purest of clays, chemically speaking.”
RAILROADS HAVE DONE GREAT
WORK IN DEVELOPMENT OF
MILLEDGEVILLE
"The railroads of Milledgeville
have done a great work in the de
velopment and growth of the city,”
said G. H. Tunnell, manager of the
Georgia Railway interests in this sec
tion. Probably no other public utili-
*y has been a greater agent in aiding
the growth of industry than have the
railroad.**, he asserts.
“The gros annual revenues,” ex
plained Mr. Tunnell, "of the railroads
f Milledgeville from freight and pas-
enger business in 1890 were appro
mately $150,000. At the present]
these revenues amount to near
ly $1,000,000.” We may infer that
»e cause for such an increase is
e “service with a Mmile” the rail-
iads are giving their patrons.
Mr. Tunnell thinks all signs point
wards a good year, in spite of the
tradition that presidential year? are
ver good. He believes that big
siness has decided to prove such
prediction untrue, therefore the
railroads of this city ar e anticipating
great a business as ever.
AGITATION NOT WISE
"Too much talk about reduction<of
cotton acreage in the county might
have an opposite effect,” said Mr.
Mollinshead, President of the Farm
ers’ Club, to the reporter for the
Union Recorder.
The best plan is* to diversify crops
and ho urange the acreage that there
may be more than one mcney crop
in the country. The dairy industry,
tobacco, corn, hogs and chickens
must al come in for their share of
interest if the farmer is to prosper.
DiversificaUon, work, enthusiasm,
optimism should be the watchword
of the entire state, and prosperity is
most sure to come to us, indicated
the efficient president of the Farm
ers Club.
Anna Belle Webster.
"The first Meeting of tfie Federa
tion was held June 22, 1918 at G. N
I. College and Dr. Parks had ar-
rangid the program with special ref
erence to the rural schools. Dr.
Jackson and Miss Parish were the in
vited speakers.”
"Dr. Parks invited every one pres
ent to dinner in the spacious dining
“Every club in the county is a mem
ber of the Federation and men and
boys are members ay well as women
and girls,” said Mrs. Beeson."
The Federation of which Mrs. E.
R. Hines is now President has been
active since that time and is still do
ing valuable work.
DIVERSIFICATION FOR BALDWIN
It was cany to listen to the County
Agent last Monday morning when he
consented to give his opinion on Bald
win’s agricultural progress and
prospects in diversified farming.
“W e are above the average county
in diversification” said Nesmith, ‘and
we ought to be. There are enough
people to be fed in this county to eat
all that will be raised—so thnt the
farmer won’t have to wear out his
truck nor pay the railroads for hand
ling these products for him. And
there are enough different types of
soil here in Baldwin to grow almost
anything."
In what line has there been the
greatest progress,” Mr. Nesmith was
"Dairying." he answered, “When I
ime to the county three years ago
only one man was shipping cream.
This past year $30,000 have come
in from shipment of this one pro
duct. The upper part of this county
especially well—suited for the
ising of feedstuffs for cattle.”
"Do you think the poultry pick up
rs operated by the Georgia Rail
road aid the poultry rainer.s?”
"Yes, they arc a wonderful help,
a big factor in putting the local mar
ket on a par with other markets.
People learned that they couldn’t
buy a hen at 20 cents a pound all the
year round." Another cur will pass
through here in March and the plan
is to bring a pickup car for eggs at
an early date.”

"THE MODERN GIRL HAS IT ON
HER MOTHER ”, SAYS SOCIETY
WOMAN
“The girl of to day is the ideal
girl,” said Miss May Anbury when
k'ked about the modern girl.
“The girl -f today has more than
one motive while her mother and
grandmother had only one and that
*u to get married. Today a girl is
capable of taking care of herself and
as there are so many other things
for her to do she does not rush into
matrimony blindly. Business has
meant a great deal to the women of
today. Yes, indeed the modern girl
ha* it on her grandmother,” Mise
A>bury ( (included.
The Reverend F. H. Harding
pleasantly granted the reporter
few moments of his time.
"Doctor, what’s on your mind
these days?” was asked casually.
“For monthu now I have had
my mind the opportunity which the
people of Milledgeville have for mak
ing this a practical center for the
study of Christian Social Service.
With the neighboring institutions,
their leaders and citizens, who have
made a study of abnormal persons,
this is a strategic point for such
study,” spontaneously .answered Dr.
Harding.
“Aren’t all our churches doing
this type of work?” interrupted the
news gatherer.
"Yes, our church people are
ing good work,” he agreed, "bul
need just such work as theirs and
the chaplain's to continue influenc
ing these people after they have i
back into the world. Many of them
come from homes of such standards
that they cannot hold to the train
ing received when they go buck into
their old home life. The result
that oftentimes they are sent back
for another term. "It would be a big
problem to follow every individual”
he ventured.
: is a big problem, this study of
prevention of crime,” add“d
Harding, “this creating proper life
situations to prevent crime, but Mil
ledgeville is just the point for its
study and solution. There will be
needed a state wide, nation wide, net
work of organizations with the love
of Christ and our fellow man at its
foundation to formulate and carry <
this "big brother idea” without any
semblance of maudlin sympathy.’
"Basing the fact on the conditi
•'i our own plant, The Dixie Fi
I* r ‘ '*fing Compuny, business* in t
f*i> brick industry has been rather
during the past year in compar-
1 ■ with that of previous years,” Mr.
1 "ircst WyBong, joint c rner of the
f'" !l '• declared.
"However,” Mr. Wysong said, “
slump in the business is due to
fact that during the past year
have been doing a great deal of de
velopment work, but we now have
a better product than ever before.”
"Our product this year,” Mr. Wy
Bong continued, "is better, harder,
and more attractive looking. The
only thing we were not able to
prove whn the refractoriness.”
“Just What is your opinino of Geor
gia clays?,” Mr. Wysong was asked.
"One interesting fact about Geor-
K»* clay ’ he replied, "1* that it will
»tand more heat than any other dmy.
SHRUBS BEAUTIFUL
Perhaps no citizen has contributed l|
more to beautifying Milledgeville II
s than E. V. Jordan, Sr., who q
operates a nursery in the suburbs. [
The fascination of shrubhery around ;
home is irresistible. The fa.-Aion i
increasing because Mr. Jordan,
ith the taste of an artist, uses his
practical know ledge and sees that the
shrubs are properly transplanted. ;
The business is modest only be-10
cause the owner keeps it so. It is K
interesting to visit his farm, see the II
growing plant!*, and hear him tell the 14
secret of how he makes plants grow. O
"The Baldwin county Federation
of Club was organized at the court Q
house in Milledgeville on April 26,;
1918, "answered Mrs. Beeson when 111
asked about the first Federation of ||
the county Clubs.” Q
"The organization was due to the - -
call from Mm. E. R. Hines. President
of the Woman’s Club. Fifteen clubs
were represented at this meeting.
The officers elected were: Presi-
