Local and Personal
By Mrs. d. e. Brown Jr.

The local and social items are rather
few this week, owing to the fact that
we are all so absorbed, and thrilled
with the thought and preparation of
the coming holiday, the celebration OF
Armistice Day, that we cannot con-
centrate our minds on any thing less
important.
'Lest we forget this week is a
season Of mingled JOY and sorrow for
all loyal Americans, marking, marking
as 1t does, the second anniversary OF
that day which terminated the blood
lest, and most destructive war the
world has ever known, and also the
first step / nthe direction OF right
Gus and lasting peace, to which the
men and women of the world SO
earnestly looked forward to.
In the heart of every American,
there Is just the pride that flows from
the consciousness of sacred duty to
God and country faithfully performed.
We are justly proud Of our splendid
soldiers, whose wonderful spirit and
efficiency, and service made possible
the glorious victory, in which America
afsaaims a share. Also we feel great
happiness In the knowledge, that a
united people in every walk Of life
SO promptly responded to their nations
need by their service, self denial and
treasure, providing the sinews OF war;
Then while we honor our living
soldiers, we must not forget the sacred
duty and reverence, which the nation
owes to the brave and splendid heroes
who did not return. In the shallow
graves of war torn France and under
the soil of their beloved homeland, our
noble dead lie buried. In our hearts
we have enshrined them, and will
cherish the memory of their noble
deeds. And how about the fathers
and mothers whose service flag carries
a gold star, or the homes to which
have returned not the sturdy soldier
who marched away, but being weak
ened or broken, Or worse still, a be-
Inc with his intellect gone? The world

should know in some measure, how
we honor and esteem them, bOththe
ones who made the supreme sacrifice,
that we might continue to enjoy the
blessings of liberty, and the boys who
have returned. So we celebrate, Thurs
day, the greatest day in the history of
our great nation.

just few hours apart. They had
reached the advanced age of 81, and
it is a very comforting thought, that
they went together to that land where
there will be no separations, or fare
wells spoken. Their funeral service
was conducted by Rev. Strain, of Sims
boro and their remains were inferred
in double vault in the SimsborO
cemetery. The floral offerings were
beautiful and numerous. Their de-
parture broke up the home as they
lived alone. Mrs. Williamson and her
entire family attended the funeral ser

an interesting program on prayer was
led by Mrs. Pollard Williams. The
excellent papers on Public Prayer
by Miss Pawnee Glover, and "The Pos.

Situation was an eye opener, as it re-

WILL
GET 1O3 COUNTIES,
SAYS MANAGER

At the headquarters Of Senator
Hardwick, Judge G. H. Howard,
campaign manager, in summarizing
and forecasting the result Of the
election for governor, gave out the
following statement s saturday, oar-
ator Hardwick will carry, without
doubt, counties in the First con-
gressional district with 16 votes; 3
counties in the Second congressional
in the Third congressional district
with 22 votes; 6 counties In the
Fourth congressional district with
20 votes; 5 counties in the sixth
8, counties in the Seventh congress
sional district with % votes; coun--
ties in the Eighth congressional
district with 20 votes; 10 counties
in the ninth congressional district
with "a votes; II counties in the
&c votes; counties in the Eleventh
congressional district with Is votes;
and 9 counties in the Twelfth con-
gressional district with % votes,
making a total of 103 counties with
an aggregate of 254 votes. Thirty ty
votes, are doubtful, and it Is prac-
tically certain that Senator Hard
wick will carry Is of them with SO
votes; this added 20 the 254 county
unit votes already. enumerated,
makes 290 county unit votes.
"These figures are conservative
and with every indication, as now
exists, Of a tremendous statewide
landslide for Senator Hardwick, 1t
is not at all improbable that A
goodly number of counties not here
claimed will be found in the Hard
wick column.
'"The friends Of Senator Hardwick
from one end of the state to the
Other are showing the most intense
loyalty ever shown any candidate
for office in Georgia and the prin-
ciples for which he stands. To all
of these On behalf Of Senator Hard
wick. I extend his grateful appre..
citation, and urge that every one of
these loyal friends and supporters
continue their valued efforts until
the last vote is cast at the polls, and
see that every vote is counted as
east and the largest vote rolled up
for him that has ever been record
ed for any man in Georgia. The
fight is won, but let me urge ev-
cry friend of Senator Hardwick to
give one day, the 9Th of Septem-
Der, to the cause. This is all that
is needed to make the victory GER
tain and sweeping"
