Hurrah for Parker!
And to you, Mr.. w. J. Parker, proud old chair
man, who has worked, day and night, sends the
thanks Of these old veterans, to you the man
who made this possible, to you, their hats are
off, their old heads of silver gladly I'M
covered, and they proud to acclaim to the
world that their friend, their champion is Thos.
d. Watson, Georgias greatest son.
The Papal Telegraph Wouldn't Print It,
Two old veterans carried their notice of their
program over to the Telegraph for Wednesdays
publication, but the young who waited upon
them said that it too strong and that they
would have to change it before publishing-so
when we read it in Wednesdays paper we hardly
knew 1.-THE Evening News, did not find it too
strong, or else not so afraid they published
it as given.
[ have just finished glancing over the Tele-
graph, with their glowing account of the Bishops
analr-one thing we thank them for giving US
credit Of having two hundred veterans and MORE
THAN SIX HUNDRED people to hear Mr. Jones
I am afraid that the Telegraph does not realize
how many people understand their position and
read between the lines.
Bully for Gordon Jones.
Mr.. Jones gave us one address, fine splendid
and true
am sending you few mementos of the dav,
Mr. Christian could not wait for letter to
reach you, be wanted you to know right away
what glorious success, and I think your hearty
laugh over the phone found q responsive chord III
his heart.
Mrs. Written of Forsyth was one OF the guests.
Mr.. Jones sent for about three quarters
of an hour before the speaking to meet the vete-
rams; he shook hands and mingled with the men
Of the Sixties, gaining a warm place in their
hearts.
AS Mrs Jones accompanied Mr.. Jones' [ went
with the committee to the hotel to escort them
down, and it impressive to see all in the
lobby pause about dozen Old veterans filed
down as escort to their selected orator.
This is given IN installments-I have so much
to tell-and so little time, but hope you can get
q gathering OF what occurred.
With best wishes, now and always yours IN
Warmest admiration

morrow and Monday" he stated, Il may
apply for warrants for the proprietors.
Mr.. Shoemaker said he thought there
was a difference between the ordinary
restaurant and the dining room of :,
hotel, although he realized that liquor
is served in both. The fact that 4
hotel is regarded as being the home of
it's guests. he stated, makes the place
different from the dining room connect
