The Maid’s and Matron’s Club was

white mint cups filled with yellow
and white mints.
Mrs. Ansley served a lovely salad
course.

Club Meeting.
An attractive pi'bg^am and many
invited guests gave variety and added
interest to Wednesday’s meeting of
the Woman’s Club.
A large audience heard with pleas
ure Miss Lois Dowdle, of the State
Agricultural College, who spoke on
“The Extension Department and the
Georgia Fdeeration.” Aside from be
ing full of knowledge of her subject
and zeal for the Work, she possesses
the many graces of a delightful
speaker. Citing as one of the mani
fold advantages of home economic
training, she gave as an example the
work of the Girls’ Clubs in the state
in making 1500 jars of watermelon
rind and fig preserves for the Rogers
stores in Atlanta. The preserves
were all exactly alike, bearing the
same test and label. They were dis
tributed among the eleven Rogers
stores and sold, one to a customer,
at 55 cents each within one week
after being placed on sale.
Miss Dowdle gave Mrs. Farmer
credit for getting Home Economic
work included as one of the Federat
ed Club departments and paid her
other beautiful and deserving com
pliments on her work in the state
for better rural home life.
Another pleasure of the afternoon
was the singing of Mr. G. B. Daniel.
Miss Mattie Belle Burnley played the
accompaniment.
An executive board meeting was
called for Friday afternoon to pre
fect arrangements for entertaining
the District convention to be held
here in May.
A delightful social hour followed,
the entertaining committee serving
cake and cream.

A most remarkable evidence of
national interest in the great memo
rial being carved on Stone Mountain
is the passage of a bill by the United
States Senate authorizing the coin
age of 5,000,000 50-cent pieces in
commemoration of the beginning of
the work on the Stone Mountain Me
morial to Confederate heroes.
On one side of the coin will be a
has relief showing the central figures
of the central group of the carving on
the mountain, and on the other will
be a bust of President Harding, in
whose administration active work on
the monument was begun.
The passage of the bill stamp? the
national government’s official seul of
approval upon the memorial.
Coins will be issued only upon re
quest of the Memorial Association,
of Atlanta, and upon payment of the
par value of the coins. The plan is
to distribute them through organiza
tions interested in the memorial for
$1.00 each, which will yield a prem
ium of 50 cents. They will be endur
ing souvenirs and have a premium
value of several dollars in a few
years.
Mr. Borglum, sculptor of the me
morial, is given credit for the passage
of the bill, he having personally in
terested members of the house and
senate whose influence he enlisted, a
number of whom are his pei-sonal
friends. Not stopping at that he'
found an audience with the president
securing his sanction to the further
ance of his undertaking, the biggest,
most wonderful and enduring monu
ment in the world, and that in Geor
gia and to the Confederacy.

That the efforts of Miss Elizabeth
Guye and Miss Effie Sue Watson,
Thomson high school graduates, who
are now teaching in the Cedar Keys
j high school in Florida, is appreciated,
I is clearly shown by the compliment-
! ary notice given them in a Cedar
| Keys newspaper.
Both Miss Watson and Miss Guye
' were principals in a play, “The Little
Clodhopper,” given by the school of
which the article says in part:
Miss Watson, as the little clod
hopper, turned out to be the heroine,
and Miss Guye, as Miss Bean,
the boarding house mistress, were
among the stars of the evening. All
are to be equally congratulated, how
ever, without preference or prejudice.
The receipts from the drama are to
be used by the school in the intei-est
of the athletic association and to add
needed improvements to aid in the
efficiency of the various depart
ments”
