Citii mxh Conntij County Warden, E. H. Dicker son, went to Cuthbert this week for some State convicts which the l’risou Commission has assigned to Coffee county. The municipal election is a little over a week off and no candidates announced for either mayor, coun cilinen or members of the Hoard of School Trustees. Mr. .1. Fred Ricketson, manager of the Coffee County Progress, was in the city Monday persuading folks to patronize his printing es tablishment. He didn’t call on the Tribune. Moonshine liquor is bringing the Pearson Mayor’s Court back in fashion. Several devotees of King Bacchus have had to face his Hon or, the Mayor, and abide his decis ion in their eases. Thanks of the Editor is tender ed to Mrs. John White and Mr. John W. Morris for fine samples of syrup. It is hardly possible for these samples to be improved upon by any process whatever. It remained for Hon. J. M. Paf ford to present us with the giant sugar cane of the season. It was of the green variety and measured eleven feet and four inches in length. Eleven feet of this cane was fully matured. Miss Ida Mae George has resign ed as teacher of the New Provid ence school and returned to her home at Willaeooehee. She says the position became unpleasant for the lack of complete communi ty support and appreciation. The young people of the city are making nightly excursions to the many cane grindings in progress near the city. Mr. Carl W. Har rell has given them candy pullings on Thursday evenings of the past two weeks, and they enjoyed his hospitality very much. Invitations to the Kirkland- Brinson wedding were mailed last Monday. The interesting event occurs at the homo of the bride’s parents, Hon. and Mrs. Jeff Kirk laud, at five o’clock on the after noon of Wednesday, December 7th. After the ceremony will follow a bridal trip of some days, and after December 22nd, Mr. and Mrs. Brinson will be at home to theii friends in Homerville. The county convict gang is en gaged now working the upper road to Douglas. Beginning at the county line they are making a good road into Pearson, from that direc tion, and claving ail the sand beds It is stated that the people along this road are showing their patri otism by assisting in hauling the eiay used in claying the road. They are furnishing their teams and drivers as they can spare them. If all the people would help in this way it would not be many years before Atkinsou county would have good roads in every section of the county. Let the people be patient for a little while longer and they will see our bad roads gradually disappear An Appeal. To the men of Pearson: The call of Pearson boys for the Boy Scout program of Character Buildiug and Citizenship Training should not go unheeded by the men of your little city. The forty or more boys interested in scout ing represent the greatest asset you have, they are men in the cocoon. The kiud and type of men they become depends upon the training they receive now, they are worthy of equal advan tages with the boys of Douglas, Homerville, Blackshear, Jesup, Waycross, Brunswick, Hazlehurst and other towns in the Okefenoke Council District now backing the movement, there are many thiugs worth while about this Scout pro gram. It indicates right ideas of Citizenship through service; it teaches eo operative effort for com munity uplift; it’iuspiresand stim ulates boys to do their best and arouses their ambition to do things worth while. Take time to look over the Scout Oath and Law; investigate the pro gram and you will uo doubt want to see every boy in town a Boy Scout. It is leading boys into worthwhile activities, and giving the “gang” a constructive program. Some big-hearted, red blooded man in Pearson should rise up and see that those fine boys stumbling into Citizenship have the opportunity of becoming Boy Scouts. Men of Pearson —What response will you make to the continuous call of your own boys? The Okefenoke Council is ready to help and 1 shall be glad to as sist you in organizing, directing and developing the work with your co-operation. \V. L. Sprouse, Scout Executive. Teacher’s Institute. Superintendent J. G. White re quests the Tribune to announce that a Teacher's Institute will eon vene tomorrow, the 3rd day of December, and that all teachers of the rural schools of Atkinson county arc expected to be in at tendance. It is supposed that the session will be held in the Pearson school building in one of the class rooms where all can be made comfortable, should it be cold, and where they can have the benefit of blackboards. Mr. and Mrs. W. I’. James have put up a bountiful supply of brown sugar from their cane crop. It is quite as good as “c” sugar. The shipping of kids from Pear son to New York continues daily. The demand far exceeds the sup ply, but as large part of the de mand as possible will lie filled from this point, amounting to sev eral thousand. Elder J. Fred Eden preached two appreciable sermons Sunday, morning and evening, both dis courses leading up to the Sunday School Institute which he is bold ing every evening this week at 7:15 o’clock. So far the Sunday School Institute training has been help ful as well as interesting to all whp attended. Elder Eden’s appoint ments to preach on the streets were frustrated by the cold wave which swooped down on the city Monday. The naval stores business at Kirkland has been sold by Messrs. 11. C. Carter & Son to Messrs. Boone, Kennedy & Co., it is said for $23,000. Mr. B. L. Kennedy, the new manager, has already tak en charge, the transfer having been made last Friday. The former owners will probably return to their farm near Surreney and re main there until a new turpentine place is purchased. Tfie Editor has met Messrs. Boone and B. L. Kennedy, and is well impressed with them as future citizens of At kinson county. Dr. and Mrs. A. F. Christopher, Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Murray and Mrs. Alex. Smith attended the funeral aDd interment of Mr. A. A. Walden, of Millwood, Wednesday morning. The deceased was a brother in law of Mr. Murray and Mesdames Christopher and Smith.
