WoKtedj/ LUCKYSTRIKE cigarette. Flavor is sealed in by toasting 4 City mih County Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Davis, of Zirkle, were the guest of her fath er, Hon. Jeff Kirkland, and family last Monday. The pupils of Pearson High School enjoyed an Easter egg hunt Friday afternoon. It was a beau tiful afternoon. Mr. J. T. Douglass, living two miles south of Pearson, was seri ously ill last week with Pneumonia, but he is now improving and will soon be well. A Bradstreet representative was in the city last Friday and Satur day for the purpose of getting a financial report from the business men as a basis of credit. Dr. B. S. Malone returned from his three months stay in south western Texas last Saturday morn ing. He is complaining of his health, and keeping himself in doors. Mr. J. Thomas Smith came up from Brunswick Monday morning, lie has been quite ill and is still quite feeble. He has been staying with his foster son, Mr. 11. C. Smith, and family. The educational authorities of Atkinson county are quietly creat ing a sentiment in favor of school consolidation whenever it can be done with advantage to the cause of education in the county. It is a pity that Pearson's cur few law and her ordinance against throwing waste paper on the street cannot be enforced! These spas modic street cleanings doesn’t count for anything in the business section. “Mr. T. M. Mixson, who moved from Atkinson county to the Ex periment Station, was in town on business Saturday,” says the Tif ton Gazette. Glad to know Tom is well. He formerly lived in the Axson district. The small stoc k of good of R. C. Smith, with all store fixtures, was brought to the court house door Monday and sold to satisfy a claim in favor of Central Grocery Com pany, of Tifton. It sold for about sixty dollars. It was not of much value. The editor and his daughter tender thanks to Dr. and Mrs. Christopher for a couple of bream, as much as the two could eat. They were very large, fat and juicy, and truly a treat. Where did they catch them? Don’t know, but suspect they caught them in the Satilla river. Among the out-of-town attend ants at the bankrupt sale of the C. F. Murray grocery business was Col. O. W. Franklin of Valdosta, the Trustee, and Messrs. H. H. Hargarett, W. E. Algee and A. W. Wallace of Tifton. The stock, fix tures and accounts brought $325.00 the Central Grocery Company of Tifton being the purchaser, subject to confirmation by the bankruptcy court. Mr. J. B. White, connected with the A. C. L. railroad at Nabunta, spent Sunday with his family in Pearson. He says he’s “hands off” the red hot county site campaign in Brantley county, between Na hunta and Hoboken. Says he has no idea what will be the result of The election, April 20. Tuesday at Willacoochee. The editor spent Tuesday, be tween trains, at Willacoochee. He was glad to learn that the entertainment given last Friday evening, under the auspices of the Woman’s Club, was a real success as diversion and its financial out come. One of the ladies said the best scat was reserved for the editor and they were disappointed he did not occupy it. He regrets he disappointed them; he has al ways received a kindly welcome at Willacoochee; he has a goodly number of sincere friends there. He is sorry he was _ forced to dis appoint them. The editor learned that, since the saw mills have resumed busi ness, and materials become cheap er. there is considerable activity in the building of homes in the city. This- is necessary to house the mill operators and their cm ployees- Mr. E. L. Peterson was the busi est man we found in the city, lie was putting in a larger boiler at his ice factory, which is now in operation. It has a capacity of ten tons a day. The editor was sorry to learn there is some sickness in the city, among others Mrs. €. M. Brake field. The Tribune received a number of new subscribers as well as re newals. Thanks. Cross-Roads School Closed. The closing exercises of the Cross-Roads Colored School were held Friday afternoon and evening, after a splendid and bountiful noon repast was served. The teachers, patrons and pupils of the schools were disappointed that some of their specially invited while friends did not appear. A Ford car, out of commission, was the reason why Supt. White and the editor were not present. Hon. John 1). Paulk, of the County Board of Education was there and his address received many expressions of approval. One of the teachers stated to the editor that it was most timely along correct lines. He further expressed surprise that Mr. Paulk having, in the management of a saw mill, to deal with the very worst element of the Negro race, could so charitably differentiate between the good and the bad oJ the race. The exercises, both in the after noon and evening, were rendered with perfect order. It indicates that the colored citizens of Atkin son county in that vicinity are making commendable advance ment in ethics and decorum. The 'tribune trust that their ex amples may be emulated by the race throughout the county. Must Help Themselves. Prof. L. W. Brown, principal of the Pearson colored school, desires the Tribune to state that it is pro bable that the colored school of Pearson, by consent of the city Board of Education, will be placed under the control of the County Board of Education. The purpose is to make the school eligible to participate in the Slater and Rosen wald funds. He deplores the fact that, after the erection of the present school building by the city, those for whose benefit it was built have taken so little interest in preserv ing and keeping it decent and re spectable. He also desires the Tribune to say that the race, if they get the opportunity of securing a better building on larger grounds through these funds, it will be when they show a disposition to help them selves. They will have to furnish a large proportion of the money. And in order to secure their pro portion of the funds they will learn a valuable lesson in thrift. Quite a number of the members of the Baptist Young People’s Un ion, connected with the Pearson Church, went to Douglas Tuesday evening to the Southeastern Re gional Baptist Young People's Un ion convention in session Tuesday and Wednesday. They say that the addresses were excellent. PEARSON TRIBUNE, PEARSON. GEORGIA, APRIL 1,192 t Wednesday Afternoon’s Meeting. A splendid gathering of farmers met at the Militia District court house Wednesday afternoon and formed a co-operative union under the name and style of “Atkinson County Marketing Association.” The meeting forwarded to Sena tors Harris and Watson and Con gressman Lankford resolutions re questing them to use their best efforts to secure for them conces sions in the matter of freight rates on melons. At present the rates are almost prohibitive. The “crop contract” adopted was very similar to that in use by the Coffee County Cooperative Association. The Emergency Fund was fixed at a minimum of $25. The regular officers are F. E. McNeal, president, M. N. Johnston, secretary, and D. J. Pearson, L. L. Sutton, C. E. Griffis, 1). A. Gillis. Dan Wall and W. L. Kirkland, board of directors. There are three more directors to be added later. D. J. Pearson, M. N. Johnston and Dan Wall were appointed a committee to draft suitable by-laws for the government of the associa tion. A special meeting will be held next Monday afternoon, April 4th, at the district court house. All the members will be present, un less providentially hindered, and it is hoped many more of the farm ers of the county will also be pres ent and become members of the association, and co-operate in the matter of marketing the crops for 1921. The farmers present Wednesday afternoon were enthusiastic over the outlook for co-operation in growing as well as marketing the crops of Atkinson county for the year 1921. Death of J. Elmore Maine. Mr. John W. Stewart was in the city Tuesday morning and brought the news of the death of Mr. J. Elmore Maine, which occurred Monday night. Mr. Maine has been in feeble health for several years and unable to do manual labor for two years. Since the death of his wife, who was a daughter of Elder .Tack Vickers, more than a year ago, he has been living about among his children. He was at the home of Mr. Robert Maine, his son, w r hen death came. Mr. Maine was a quiet, unobtru sive man, attended strictly to his own affairs. He raised a large family of children all of whom survive him. The funeral and interment was at Hebron church and cemetery. There is an old man who is silly enough to go about the country with several hundred dollars in his pocket and, ever and anon, showing it to anybody with whom he happened to be in company. It.seems that some one got the old man drunk and robbed him of a part of his money. When he re covered from his debauch he swore out a warrant in which he charged a son of Mr. A. F. Wilson with the commission of the deed and caused his arrest. Mr. Wilson says the charge is untrue, that he will be able to show that he could not have done so, for that he was miles away from the place at the time the old man says the crime was committed. The young man has given bond and been released from custody. The protracted meeting which had been in progress in the Pear son Methodist church closed Sun day night with thirty-eight acces sions to the membership. The quar terly conference was held at New Providence, near Cogdell, Satur day afternoon, and the Presiding Elder, E. F. Morgan, remained here and preached excellent sermons Saturday night and Sunday at noon. The third and last number of the Alkahest Lyceum entertain ment will appear at the Pearson high school auditorium on Satur day evening, April 9th. The en tertainers will be a gentleman and lady of exceptional talents. Doyou know you can roll so Asad 1 cigarettes tor f lOcts from one bag of GENUINE Bull Durham TOBACCO (ifhuzrry^^ The Church’s Desolation. (Published by request.) Well may thy sesvants mourn, my God. The church's desolation; The state of Zion calls aloud For grief and lamentation. Once she was all alive to Thee. And thousands were converted; But now a sad reveree we see, Her glory Is departed. llcr pastors love to live at ease. They covet wealth and honour: And while they seek such things as these. They bring reproach upon her. Such worthless objects they pursue Warmly and undiverted; The church they lead and ruin too— Her glory Is departed. Her private members walk no more As Jesus Christ has taught them; Itlches and fashion they adore. With these the world lias bought them. The Christian name they still retain Absurdly and false-hearted; And while they In the church remain Her glory Is departed. And has religion left the church, Without a trace behind her? Where shall 1 go, where shall 1 search. That 1 once more may find her? Adieu, ye proud, ye light and gay, J’ll seek the broken hearted, Who weep whep they of Zion say, Her glory Is departed. Some few, like good Elijah, stand, While thousands have revolted. In earnest for the heavenly land; They never yet have halted. With such, religion doth remain, For they are not perverted: O may they all through them regain The glory that's departed. Sunny-Side Locals. Mr. John Taff visited Miss Betsy Giddens Sunday afternoon. Mr. Robert Bullard called to see Miss Laura Summerlin Sunday afternoon.

There is evidence that the girl who is not like a rudderless ship iu a storm-swept sea when a meal must be cooked, and the girl who can make a dress that both fils and has some style to it, are com ing into their own again. Experi ence with the high cost of living has taught many marriageable young men the value of knowing where and how to save a few dol lars, and saving dollars on the part of a married man is an impossible task where no co-operation is to be had from his wife. The young man who takes a serious view of life is apt to be rather more interested iu the girl who can take the cook’s place in a pinch, and make her own clothes in another pinch, than in one who can’t fry an egg or sew a button on so it will stay. —Select- ed Petition for Divorce.
