Rome, Ga., City of Hospitality,
Entertains Georgia Editors
THE UNION-RECORDER. MILLEDjCEVILLE, CA-, JUNE 29, 1932
Members of the Fourth Estate
Georgia left the depression and bur
ners worries in their respective
offices last week and assembled at
Rome, the city of seven hills and
Remus and Romulus, to enjoy the
m:st delightful hospitality of this
lovely nort'o-wert Georgia city.
Leaving Mill* igeville, I went di
rect to Oartersville where the edi
tors came Thursday afternoon to a
barbecue as the guests of the city of
Cartersville, after they had visited
Mrs. Corra Harris at her mountain
home. Arriving a few hours before
the editors were expected I called
my friend, Norris Hall, son of Mr.
and Mrs. L. C. Hatt.aJ’-' a native
of this city, who departed from his
native heath a fev. years back and
is now tackling the business world
os a mining executive. He has charge
of an Ocre mine near Cartersville
and is working abopt ar hard and
with as 'much enthusiasm as a young
man could. I spent a most enjoyable 11
two hours with Norris walking;
tnr. ugh the ocre mine and witnessing ;
the operation of the big plant that j
separates from ihe earth the valu
able mineral, sacks it and sends it
on to the north and east to the
factories that consume it. The de
parture from the Gold standard has
been a big aid to this type of busi
ness that has to compete with fore
ign mines.
Norris has taken a fancy to wild
life and has a flock of Mallard ducks,
a half dozen wild Canadian geese, a
pm of ring-neck doves and a pair of
Pheasants. He also is trying to raise
wild turkeys and has three of them
in a pen. Norris likes Cartersville
and i he people like him, but he still
cling- to the belief that Milledge-
ville the best, small town in ihe
rtate.
The editors were quartered at
Shotter College during their visit
to Rome and nothing war left un
done for their comfort and enter
tainment. * can easily understand
why Shorter alumnae think it the
best school on earth. Located on the
top of one of the mountains, it has
all the atmo.pheric surroundings a
school needs to inspire youth toward
achievement and success. From my
room the view was gorgeous. Look
ing across the valley and to the
hills beyond that reached up and
touched the blue above them, the
eye feasted on the splendors of na
ture, created and made so by the
God above, for man could net do
n job like this without some imper
fections and there were none in this
;cenc that He had made.
The problems of the editor and
the problems of the state were dis
cussed in the progrim that had been
prepared by Jack Williams, the as-
sociationV president The discussions
were timely and presented convinc
ingly.
Friday afternoon the Martha
Berry School war the place of inter
est that was visited. This school is a
land mark in human civilization and
has opened the way for mountain
boys and girls to receive advantages
they had been denied. If one is wor
ried about the progress of the South
they need only to visit the Berry
school. The youth of the mountains
are being trained in the adequate and
excellent direction they need.
From the Berry school the editors
were taken to Cloudland for a din
ner dance as the guests of the Rome
Chamber of Commercre. Another
occasion that impressed the Rome
hospitality.
Georgia editors are thinking and
thinking reriously. They are con
cerned with rendering to their state
and communities real service and
the problems that are confronting
Georgia are receiving their atten
tion and study. The highway n
naturally was a matter of much dis
cussion outside the meetings. None
j of them like the way the Governor
| has tried to step over the authority
of the courts and take the govern-
, ,ntnt in his hands. All of them are
| striving to do something to help
: Georgia over the top.
Rome is a beautiful city. Wide
i street; and an attractive business
section impreis the visitor 'with the
fact that it is an alert city. It has
a wide-awake newspaper that is ap- ■
preciated by the people there. Rome
I will linger in the memory of the i
Georgia editors for a long time ar.J |
I am sure that none of them will
j miss the opportunity to vi»-t there in
the future.
j p. S.—Heard from two native Mil- j
lodgevillians, Jim Chism, Pelham
editor, said John Mobley was busy
and has made many friends. i
Called on Malcolm Cone, who is in J
the electrical bus'ness in Rome. He >
has made a success in his work and
is a happy citizen of Rome.

he loved so well, his inind displayed
ts wonderful resources and fine ex
ecutive ability and toaday this insti
tution of learning stands as a proud
testimonial of his love and loyalty.
To those who Knew him no word
cun add to the incense that enve
lops his memory or increase the re
spect which, in life, his high charac
ter and manly attributes won from
all who came in contact with him.
It was in the domestic circle, amid
the sweet endearments of home, that
the most dominant at J lovely traits
of hit character found their fullest
play. His appreciation of home jcys
and domestft pleasures was unusu
ally acute, and however appreciated
his servics might be, he turned with
unfailing seat and keen enjoyment
to hia happy fireside—to that eleg
ant ho^iUHty he so much delight
ed to dispense—to those affection
ate family ministrations fn which he
found hit highest joy. In this home
there is now an aching void the
world can never fill.
To the dear bereaved ones we ex
tend our tendcrest'sympathy, assur
ing them that we share their sorrow
and that, also with them, we chet-
irjh the memory of him whom we
loved.

A tribute tc David L. Anderson!
by the Men’s Bible Class of the First j
Methodist church, Barnesville:
The fierce and unrelenting ty
phoon of death has again passed j
over our community and there has
fallen a stately tree rich in fruit; !
and foliage gathered through 'its
years—a tree once an ornament,
beauty and a blessing. The sorrow
caused by its passing brings tears
as copious, regrets as deep and grief
as painful ar any ever witnessed
sculptured marble palaces.
David Lawrence Anderson was
born in Eatonton, Putnam county,
n 1870, and at his death, April 24,
1938, .rag in his sixty-third year.
He was the son of Charles Wylie
Anderson and Mary France. He
ried Miss Lula Wright, of Barnes-
r lie, and of thia union one daugh
ter, Mrs. J. G. Ponder, and one
grandson, David Ponder, survive
him. After . finishing his >duca‘.ion
at Gordon Institute, Mr. Anderson
mcccssfully engaged in the drug
business in Barnesville for 28 years.
He served on the city council of
Bamenville several terms. He was
a member of the First Methodist
church, being on the board of stew
ards for many years and serving
very acceptably as chairman of the
board during one quadrennium. He
was a member of our class, attend-
ing regularly till his health declin
'd. But to the day cf his death he
demonstrated by his walk, private
and public, that he acknowledged
he supremacy of the ordinances of
his Master and Lord, to whose yoke
hr submitted many years ago.
Mr. Anderson was a trustee cf
Gordon college. In this field, which
