A con pic of cars of lvhorassans
from Way cross passed Pearson
Monday evening, about 7 o'clock,
en route to W’illaeooebec to*itend
a meeting of the local Lodge of
Knights of Pythias and sign up for
membership as Khorassans.
Mr. U. M. Penland, of the law
I
firm of Dickerson, Rivers and Pen
land. was in the city Thursday
evening and Friday morning mak
iug ready the firm's office-in this
city for occupancy. He is to be
the resident member of the firm.
Dr. Harold Holtzendorff, of At
lanta, was in the city several days
last week visiting relatives. Har
old was about six years of age
when his parents moved from Pear
son to Fitzgerald and front thence
to Atlanta. He seemed to have
enjoyed his stay in Pearson.
A son of Mr. James Rutherford,
who lives some miles north of
town, was bitten by a dog last
Saturday morning. If was thought
the dog had rabbies, and Mr. Ruth
erford rushed to town and wired
for treatment. It is hoped nothing
serious will develop from the in
cident.
A new pressing elub, to be
known as the "While Pressing
Club," has been opened in Pearson
by Mr. N. Rieger, a son-in-law of
Mrs. M. A. Ricketson, and an ex
soldier of the world war. He soli
cits the patronage of tho white
people of the city and vicinity.
See his advertisement in another
column.
Mr. Oscar Hawkins, of Rends,
(la., who lived here several years
ago, was it) the city the first of
the week. He came to get some
agricultural implements belonging
to his brot her in law, Mr. L. O.
Whitley, who is now residing in
Florida. lie noted the changes
that had taken place in Pearson
since lit' moved away.
Mr. A. Cohen and family were
honored Monday and Tuesday by
a visit from his stepmother and
two half sisters, recent arrivals
from Russia —stated sis two weeks.
Mrs. Cohen and the Misses Cohen
left Tuesday afternoon for Rebecca
to visit.a son who lives tlfen l . They
will return to Pearson for a longer
visit, after a stay at Rebecca.
The Sunday School at Axson is
being held in the school building,
and the Tribune is- informed the
school is using Baptist literature,
but is in need ol several experiene
ed leaders to help them at least
fora while. Who will volunteer
to lend a helping band? This
opens a fine field for some lover of
the Lord and the children of Ax
son and vicinity.
Last Saturday was the crowning
"Goat Day" for Pearson. The goat
people shipped an entire express
car load. The railroad placed the
ear for them in the morning and
the car was loaded during the day.
There was between five and six
hundred goats in the shipment.
It seems the season will close after
Lent, and the people engaged in
the business will rush things un
til the close.
The Tribune learns from a source
it considers thoroughly reliable
that there are more cattle in At
kinson County now than at any
time in the history of this section.
This is the result of the quaran
tine. If cattle dipping continues
as begun the quarantine will be
raised in 1028, and afford cattle
raisers an opportunity to put beef
cattle ou the market, and put
many thousands of dollars in cir
culation in the county. The stock
raisers of the county should put
all their available beef cattle in
extra flue order by the time the
quarantine is raised which will en
able then to get the very highest
prices for their beef cattle.
Colored School Closes.
The Pearson colored school dos
ed last Friday with a program of
songs, recitations and short dia
logues by the pupils.
Owing to the fact that the school
closed a month earlier than 1 was ex
peeled. Prof. L. \Y. Brown and
daughter, Agnes, had only a short
time in which to prepare the pro
gram. But the rendition of the
program showed they had made
good use of the time at their com
mand. Every one of the partici
pants did excellently in the dear
ness of enunciation and gesticula
tion. Their training had been
careful and detailed attention, and
the teachers deserve a large mod
icum of praise in the character of
the training given the children
under their tutelage.
The parts were clean, covering
every phase of human emotion—
sentimental, comical tragical and
intensely sober —and rendered as
true to nature as was possible.
They compassed much of the pres
ent •happenings locally and
otherwise. There were many white
people present and all of them are
agreed that it was a real enter
tainment .
Prof. Brown and his daughter
have taught two terihs here —each
embracing a scholastic yeai—with
the utmost satisfaction. It is hop
ed they can be retained for next
year's term, but there's some doubt
about it. They are most capable
teachers and their service's are in
demand al larger places than Pear
son. Of oue thing the Tribune is
sure —their services at Pearson lias
been appreciated and a very strong
effort will be made to have them
come back for the next term.
Bees and Honey.
This is honey time in South
Georgia; and bees are beginning to
"swarm,” i. e., the young colonies
are going out to find a home of
their own and getting busy gather
ing a food supply for the coming
winter.
Tbifc is the time to start an
apiary—during the swarming sea
son —and three local young men —
Messrs. < 'lay ton and Pasco Morris
and Wiley M. Sumner —have de
cided to try their hands at the
"Bee" business— the business end
of the "Bee” not, included. Their
colonies will be genuine Italian
bees, which they will get from Mr,
\V. B. Morris, Sr.
Most all of tjie older citizens
keep a few hives of bees, and use
tin l old cypress stump "gums.”
Dr. H. P. Smith and family spent
Saturday with his father, Mr. J. IV
Smith, and family down in Clinch
county, and while they were there
"Bobbing a bee-gum” of its treas
urer of honey was a part of the
pastime. The Doctor testifies that
it was as fine honey as he ever
tasted.
South Georgia is a great country,
to be sure. Nothing like it in all
the world.
Prof E. A. Pound, of Atlanta,
State superintendent of Georgia
High School work, with a party of
ladies —Mrs. J. L. Walker. Miss
Annie Laurie Walker and another
voung lady—visited Pearson Wed
nesday and were the guests of Dr.
and Mrs. B. S. Malone. While
here Prof. Pound found it conveni
ent to speak to the City Board of
Education on the*'''subject of a 4
year senior high school, and the
requirements to secure State aid
in its behalf. He developed other
lines of progress. The Tribune
hopes his talk will be the means
of creating new' aspirations in the j
minds of the Board of Education
in so much as to make a start up
I
ward and onward ane the citizens ]
to follow their lead and render all
the aid possible.
Prof. R. Quarterman, teacher of
the colored school at Axson, now
sojourning in Thomasville, asks,
the Tribune to publish the follow
ing note: "I wish to announce to
the citizens of Axson, Ga„ that i
am coming home on the 16th (Sun
day) of April and deliver an Ad
dress at the First Baptist ebnrch
at Axson, three o'clock in the
afternoon. AH citizens, white and
colored, are cordially invited.”

The Methodist church building
at A xson, built more that a.quarter
of a century ago, had become dan
gerous and it, was decided some
weeks ago that it should be torn
down, rebuilt and remodeled. It
has been torn down, and the Trib
une is informed tl/ITT the citizens
of Axson and community have
placed the necessary lumber on
the ground and there is nearly
enough money on hand to pay for
the rebuilding. The work is to be
commenced al once. ,
A gentleman engaged iu (he
"kid and lamb business” and who
is thoroughly reliable, states that
more than $20,000 has been brought,
into Atkinson county and adjoin
iug territory by the business he is
engaged in, and furnished the
money with which many citizens
have paid their taxes for 1921. He
says a market, has opened for pigs
from four to six weeks old, and a
famn.pi ire is paid for them. Big
money for kids, lambs and pigs!
Wonderful South Georgia, so
abundant of opportunities!

tract, was.let for the building of a
court house at Axson, for the use
Of the 1353rd District, G. M., in

The building which has been used
for public purposes is now being
used for a post,office—the building
occupied by the postoffice having
been burned some time since. The
new court house will he 20 x3O

ready for use by the May Term of
