In some small cities and towns the merchants close early every afternoon for that purpose. When you buy corn meal in Pearson now you get meal freshly ground at the Pearson grist mill, and it is good. It is good to sup port home institutions and keeping your wealth circulating at home. There is room for a good merchant mill in Pearson.

With grief and tears long I cher ished rebellious thoughts, Before I could learn to say, Dear Lord Thy will be done, t’was 'Thee t hat gave, And "I is 'Thee that taketli away.

Blitch spent a part of last week at home and returned to Waycross Saturday morning. He preaches two Sundays in the month at Hebardville Baptist church and two Sundays in the month at the Second Baptist church of Waycross. He says he has plenty of work now to keep him out of mischief. Our young townsman, Carey Me Neal, was married last Sunday night to Miss Pinkie Jordan of Millwood. The pastor of the Pear son Methodist church, Rev. O. B. j Tally, officiated. While the'Tribune thinks the groom was too young to assume the obligations of a hus band it extends to him and his fair bride heartiest congratulations and wishes for them long, happy and successful iives. PEABSOX TRIBUNE, APRIL 12, 1918 PEARSON’S PATRIOTISM. It is Cheaper to Win Than to Lose the WJr. Pearson put on holiday attire last Saturday and made some noise in proclaiming that the sale, of Third Liberty Loan Bonds was ready to proceed. A real patriotic rally w as launch ed and the program of exercises successfully carried out. Several enthusiastic patriots had improvis ed some very suggestive floats for the parade which took place at 10:JO o’clock. The parade formed on Roberts street in front of the school build ing and proceeded north along Meeks street to Austin, west to Church street, north to Railroad avenue, west to King street, south to Austin, east to Main, north to Railroad avenue, east to Church, south to Roberts and east to start ing point. The column formed in the fol lowing order; An automobile lloat of Rev. 0.8. Tally representing an American submarine chaser; in this float rode Dr. H. P. Smith, chairman, and other members of the Liberty Loan committee. Voting ladies dressed to repre sent American Red Cross nurses. An automobile float of Prof. Geo. H. Padrick representing an Ameri can Aeroplane. Pearson Boy Scouts. A buggy float of the Tribune representing “Liberty enlightening Hit* world,” Miss Eva (Lillis was the Goddess of Liberty; this lloat was drawn by a white mule driven by a small boy, Randolph Kirkland, astride the mule and dressed as Lucie Sam. Pupils of Pearson public school. An automobile float of Mr. Ed gar Parker representing a trans port carrying American heroes to France. Pupils of Sat ilia Park public school, with their teachers. An automobile lloat represent ing Satilla Park school and carry ing its banner. Patrons of Satilla Park school. An automobile float of Dr. B. S. Malone, bearing the Motto: "It is cheaper to win than to lose the war.” Just as the column reached Rail road avenue on its return to the starting point a fast train with soldier boys aboard, going south to some encampment, passed along and they hail a plain view of the marchers and especially that part representing the Red Cross. The hoys in khaki gave a rousing “three cheers" as their train sped on its way. The speaking took place in the large school auditorium owing to the blustery, threatening weather. It was a rich program, to which it was well worth one’s time to go and hear; the audience wa> a large one. Chairman Smith, of the commit tee, presided and read out the program. Col. G. 11. Mingledorff was the first speaker and was followed in order by Col. J. J. Willingham, of Douglas; Rev. O. B. Tally, of Pear son; Rev. R. A. Brown, of Waycross. While sitting on the rostrum, owing to defective hearing, the ed itor caught very little of what the first three gentlemen had to say. However, he is told that ail three of the speakers were entertaining and instructive, giving out much valuable information and breathed the t rue American spirit of patriot ism. When Mr. Brown began to speak the editor came down and sat. on a front seat in the auditorium and heard Mr. Brown very well. 'The keynote of w hat he had to say was that America was not in this war of her own seeking, it was forced upon her by the most desperate and dangerous demoniacs the world j has ever produced; so far as Ameri ca and the Allies are concerned it, is a righteous war, abundantly sanctioned by the Word of God; that God, the Christ and the Holy Spirit was in it, the result to be obtained —the world made free and better; not only is our govern ment and its head, President WiJ- Study in Tick Eradication. After exhibiting at Willacoochce in the forenoon the long expected study in cattle raising and tick eradication was with us at the school auditorium Wednesday aft ernoon. The exhibition and lect ures consumed nearly two hours of time, was not only diversional but exceedingly instructive; many of the young people, as well as the older ones, present showed more t han ordinary interest in the study. Mr. F. 11. Abbott was introduced and made a short preparatory talk. He wanted to get the minds of the audience fixed upon the subjects to be thrown on the screen. By way of diversion and as an ad vertisement for the Delco Lighting System, that furnished the light for the exhibition, a reel of a very pretty romance was presented. It was followed by the reel study of tick eradication, which was ex plained by Mr. Abbott as it pro ceeded. Dr. J. F. Fahey, an 1. S. vetenavian, followed with a lucid and effective lecture on the neces sity for immediate tick eradication. It must be done if we are to keep pace with the industrial and com mercial procession. The study concluded, an unani mous vote of thanks was tendered the Georgia Land Owner’s Associ ation under whose auspices the en tertaining and instructive study is being given at every available school building in South Georgia. Mr. Alex. Sessoms, of Cogdell, is its president, and Mr. F. H. Al) liott, secretary, with headquarters at Waycross. Mr. Abbott made many compli mentary remarks about Pearson, her school and school building. He tarried long enough to get photos of the Pearson and visiting schools, taken separately. County demonstrator, G. B. Eu nice, accompanied the party on its visits to the Coffee county schools. son, expecting that every Ameri can citizen shall make substantial and needed sacrifice to win the war, but God is calling upon them to be used us instruments in His hands for purifying the world. The address made a profound impres sion upon all his hearers, and the Tribune believes awaked them to a realization of their responsibility in (his crisis. Satilla Lodge, F. & A. M., has bought a SIOO Liberty Loan Bond and will probably buy several more should il become necessary at this time. The Odd Fellows and the Woodmen of (he World lodges will also buy bonds. 'They are good investments for idle money. A letter from James I’alford to his parents, postmarked at Phila delphia, states that his command was on route somewhere, he dill not know where, but suspected that they were on their way to France. The soldier boys will be going across the pond rapidly from henceforth to the end of the con flict. (J o( i, save our boys. Mr. B. IL Tanner is hauling crossties to Pearson as a shipping point, using a “Quad Jeffrey" motor truck. It brings 25 ties at a load, (could haul 50 at a load were the bridges strong enough), and makes six trips a day. The mule and darky question is settled, but good roads and bridges must keep it settled. Mr. Tanner was in tne city today. Lnder Ihe sanction of the city council an attempt is to be made, under the leadership of Rev. < >. B. Tally, to organize a home guard military company in Pearson. Mr. Tally is gathering all the obtain able data in regard to what the status of a home guard company would be, and expects to secure a home guard officer to address the people on the subject next Wednes day evening. The Tribune ap proves the movement; as it has said before, military training is the best of physical exercise, and il would do the old men and the young men immense good to take it. By all means let us have the home guards. AH ffIUCATICKAL AND PATRIOTIC RALLY ■■ATw Sunny Side FRIDAY, APRIL 26 BEGINNING AT 10 O’CLOCK A. M.
