him, Talmadge extended the time
to Feb., 15th and then acted to make

MRS. FRAftK DENNIS
Georgs Day falls on February
12th, but for the privilege of having
Mrs. Frank Adams Dennis, Presi
dent of the Georgia Division U. D.
C., speak on Alexander Hamilton
Stephens, it was celebrated with the
birthday of the great commoner on
Friday Feb., 14th, in the ch**pe1 at
G. M. C.
Mrs. R. B. Mcore president of the
Robert E. Lee Chapter U. D. C., pre
sided and presented Mrs. Dennis to
a large audience comprising the
members of the chapter, guests,
teachers and student body of the
college. The very beautiful and
spiring speech was listened to with
absorbing interest. The speaker told
of Stephens birth in poverty, his
efforts for an education, his great
achievements, his devotion to Geor
gia and finally his death while Gov
ernor of the State.
It was fitting that this fine tribute
should have been paid Alexander
Stephens in the old Senate Cham
ber where his voice rang out in de
bate for what was the best of his
State, and country.
Mrs. David Ferguson, for the
chapter, presented a Georgia flag
which was accepted by Col. Joseph
Jenkins, P*es. cf the College. Songs
were led by Mrs. Mildred Barter,
and there was music by the band
under Major Osterman.
Speech upon presentation of Geor
gia flag to G. M. C. by Mrs. David
Ferguson.
Hie United States Government in
1861 offered to General Robert E.
Lee the greatest gift in her keeping.
Commander in Chief of her Armies.
General Lee loved his country and
his flag. He had followed it almns*
all his life. As cadet at West Point
honor graduate and afterwards as
Captain and Colonel. He answered,
“my anna and what talents I have
to VbtM*. my State.” Our
country Is our father; But our
Mother is the State. Each State has
her flag and emblazoned upon it is
the coat of arms of that state. Tell
ing what that State holds in high
est honor, what it is willing to live
and die for.
Beautiful and dignified is trie coat
arms of Georgia; Worthy <£ the
en and women who carved a State
out of the wilderness.
Three columns uphold the dome
Constitution. There columns are in
scribed wisdom, justice and mod
eration.
And wisdom is: the State of being
ise. Knowledge applied to the best
purposes and aims of life. Sagacity.
Sapiency, Prudence, Discernment,
Judgment Wisdom and Knowledge
far from being one. Have oftimes no '
connection.
Knowledge dwells in heads re
plete with thoughts of other men:
Wisdom, in minds attentive to their
Knowledge is proud that he has
learned so much; Wisdom is humble
that she knows no more.
And justice is the quality of be
ing just. The practice of rendering
to every man his due. Equity, right
ness, rectitude, opposed to wrong
and injury. "The pure and impar
tial administration of justice is per
haps the finest bond to secure a
rightful submission of the people*
and to engage their affections to
government.”
•And moderation is the state of
being moderate, or of keeping a du«
mean between extremes. Restraint,
forbearance, temperance sobeiety,
calmness, frugality. Let your mod
eration be known to all men.
Because of our love for Georgia,
and because of our faith in this
splendid body of teachers and stu
dent. the Robert E. Lee Chapter.
United Daughters of the Conferacy
is honored to present this Georgia
flag to old G. M. C.

While others talk and dream of electri
fied, modem homes for people of modest
incomes in towns small and large — Geor
gia families HAVE them, LIVE IN them,
ENJOY every one of their blessed ad
vantages.
Electric rates arc so low and service so
good that Georgia homes use 54 per cent
MORE electricity a year, on the average,
than the average American home! There
is the proof that Georgia agrees whole
heartedly with the most modem idea in
home-advancement: the home best
equipped for* happy living is the home
that is best equipped electrically. But
Georgia isn't waiting for any Utopia to
arrive; it has th:sc blessings in the Geor
gia of today.
And that's why Georgians know that
everybody wins in the $10,000 Home
Town Electrical Contest! The honvs and
the towns which increase — wisely and
farsightedly — their use of electric service
are finding the reward of new comfort,
new convenience, new zest in living. Each
individual family reaps these advantages;
whether the town wins a prize or not —
and after all, it is the families, the people,
who make a champion home town.
Is your town active in the champion
ship race? Is your town taking a place
among the leaders? It's not too late to
begin. Unless you arc already thoroughly
familiar with all ti c details of the contest,
inquire at our nearest office, or write to
Herne Town Headquarters, 463 Electric
Building, Atlanta.
