HOSIERY MEL
IS DISCUSSED
Large Plant of The East Hunting
l ocation. Plus Submitted
and Discussed By Interested
Citizens
Mr. R- H. Wdotten, who is at
the head of the Chamber of Com
merce, called several of Milledge-
vjfefs citizens together Monday
morning, at the office -»f Mr. J. E.
Kidd, to meet Mr. Robert Edmond,
Industrial Representative of the
Georgia Power Co., .and Mr. S. Bach
elor, of F. S. Bachelor & Co., Inc.,
Real Estate and Industrial Financing
Firm
Mr. Wootten then submitted let
ters ho had received, which set forth
the fact that a large hosiery concern
of the East was hunting a location
in the South for a large plant to be
valued at $3,750,000 dollars, with an
annual payroll of $150,000, and the
conditins upon wfcich this plant
naming the amount of local capital
could he secured for Milledgeville,
which would have to be invested.
Dr. J. E. Kidd, who is deeply inter
ested in aiding in securing the loca
tion of manufacturing plants in the
city, gave the visitors the informa
tion fo what it was desired to do to
interest the people here in the move
ment. und stated that there were sev
eral desirable sites available, and
told of the advantages offered by the
city. Messrs. Bachelor and Edmond
discussed the matter freely and open
ly as to how the local stock might be
financed, and promised every assist
ance in carrying out plans which
were formulated.
There will be other information to
submit to the public at an early date,
which should arouse interest and en
thusiasm in the city.
There is one thing our people
should realize, and that is an oppor
tunity is knocking at our door, and
that the location of a manufactur
ing plant here of the proportions
proposed would mean a great increase
in the value of taxable property, *a
large payroll, and an addition of
many citizens. That the only oppor
tunity the city now has to take a
forward step is to secure manufactur
ing enterprises.
There is one fact certain and that
is th* manufacturing concerns of the
East and North are turning towards
the South, and that a new* era is
dav ning for this section. If one
plart could be secured it can be
safely counted that others would fol
low.

RETURN OF REV. J. F.
YARBROUGH REQUESTED
Resolution* by Board of Stewards
and Hundreds of Milledg.
Citizens Say So
Th? wiwi for the return of Rev.
John F. Yarbrough, as pastor of the
Methodist church for another year
is universal throughout the city.
At a meeting of the Board of Stew
ards of the Methodist church Thurs
day evening of last week a resolution
was passed authorizing the Secretary
to write to Dr. Elam F. Dempsey,
Presiding Elder of the Oxford Dis
trict, that it was the desire of the
members of the Board that Mr. Yar
brough be returned as pastor for
another year.
The large throng gathered
Memorial Dedicatory services of the
Morris-Littlu Post voted enthusiastic
ally for the folowing resolutions:
Whereas, Rev. John Yarbrough,
.affectionately known to ull of
every creed a.id faith—proti
and catholic and jew nnd gentile,
alike,—as "brother John,” in his ap
propriate address and remurks dedi
cating the American Legion War Me
morial here on the Georgia Military
College campus, hos again emphasiz
ed to us his brotherly love and uni
versal friendship and has made itj
again apparent that hit* continued
presence is essent ' to the welfare
and growth of the spiritual life of
our city and community; and,
Whereas, it has become known that
the Conference of his Denomination
will meet at an early date and assign
ments for churches will be made and
we of all denominatinos desire that
the authorities of his church have
for consideration the attitude of
every one of Baldwin county toward
him:
BE IT RESOLVED that, we the
people of Milledgeville and Baldwin
county, and our friends, in mass meet
ing assembled do petition the METH
ODIST CHURCH AUTHORITIES, to
Mrs. Lucy Vinson Williams, widow
of the late Mr. W. P. Williams, peace
fully und quietly posed away early
Thursday evening, November 8th.
Mrs. Williams had reached the
ripe old age of eighty-four years, and
her long life was one of usefulness
and nervicc in every relationship.
She was a member of one of Geor
gia's pioneer families, her parents
being Mr. Ebcnwr Vinson, and Mrs.
Martha Dickson Vinson. She was
born in Hancock county September
19th, 1844, and came to Baldwin
county with her parents when she
was ten yeras of age. Her girlhood
days were spent in a home noted for
its Southern hospitality, and where
the nobler and higher sentiments of
womanhood were taught and lived.
These ideals became u pa-t of her
life, and developed in a murked de
gree.
In early womanhood she married
Mr. W. P. Williams, who had just a
few years before returned from the
war in which he hnd served in the
Confederate army bravely and hero
ically. They commenced life togeth
er in the dayo when fortitude, sacri
fice and undaunted spiri*.« were de
manded. She was a helpful and
sympathetic wife, and made her home
one of love and devotion to her chil
dren. Mr. Williams preecedcd her
to the grave several years ago. She
exemplified the virtues of kindness,
sympathy and helpfulness, which
made hre life a Messing to all who
came under its influence.
Mrs. Williams was u member of
the Methodist church, and her faith
in the Christian religion never falter
ed.
She is survived by one son, Mr.
Dixon Williams of this city and one
daughter, Mrs. Fannie Given, of Mi
ami, Fla., Mrs. Given was unable to
attend the funeral nnd burial of her
mother, on account of illness. She is
also .survived by several grand-chil
dren, and Mr. E. S. Vinson, of this
city is the only living brother.
The good that she has done will
live after her to bless her memory.
The funeral services were held at-
the Methodist church Saturday morn
ing by Rev. John F. Yarbrough in the
j presence of a number of relatives
and friends. The remain.* were buri
ed on the family square in the city
cemetery, the pull-bearers being
Messrs. Otto M. Conn, Carl Vinson, E.
R. Hines, J. E. Kidd, W. L. Ritchie
and R. B. Moore.

Erwin Sibley stepped to the frontof
the rostrum, erected in the field for

band would open tho service, with
tho Star Spangled Banner. The vac
throng rose to their feet uad wi.h

the aid of the Almighty upon the
gathering and the exercises that Mil
ledgeville and especially the mem
bers of the American Legion and
their Auxilliary had waited for had
begun.
Armistice Day, ten years ago the
most horrible conflict of all time had
ended, and those men who had serv
ed in that conflict had gathered to
gether again, this time to pay their
respect and to dedicate to the love
and memory of those men who did not
come back, but sleep on Flanders
Field.
Col. Sibley thanked the people for
their share in the erection of the Me
morial nnd expressed his great pleas
ure in -being honored* by presiding
at this the most remarkable occasion
in the history of the Morris-Little
played Post. Rev. John Jarbrouyh waa pr?-
* the speaker
sented to the audience
for the occasion.
Rev. Yarbrough in an eloquenf
address glorified the American dough
boy and the people who served so
wonderful in the late war. His ad-'
dress was a reminiscent of the war
daym He told many of his personal
experiences and praised the gr^eat
loader of America, Woodrow Wilson.
He paid a just and fitting tribute to
the mother’s of th c men but most of
all to the flower of young manhood
that experienced that terrible con
flict. His references to G. M. C.
the school that furnished more offic
ers for the army than any school
in America in comparison to size and
to whom the memorial was to nerve
as most fitting.
Closing Rev. Yarbrough said
dedicate this memorial to the
who today sleep in Flanders Field, will live in
we dedicate it to the mothers of '.hose j ville people,
dedicate it to the those who
were a part of that conflict, we dedi
cate it to the future youth of Geor
gia. May they see in it a great les
son. Let the guiding spirit that led
those men to great deeds of heroism
that Democracy might live, find place
in the youth of Georgia that they may
carry on for so great a cause.
The Legion Memorial, a handsome
tile wall and beautiful stucco gate,
rises as a triumph of noble effort and
hard work and is a lasting memorial
to the men who gave their all for a
cause worth while. The Legion should
feel proud and that the people of this
town are proud of them and admire
it and appreciate it was manifested
