BARACA GOAL
Chairman Busy To Bring
Out F ull Membership
Easter

One hundred members present at
the Baraca class meeting of First
Methodist Sunday school next Sun
day, is the aim of Clarke Poole,
| chairman of the membership commit
tee of the class.
This week a tent is being erected
on the lawn of the church for the
accommodation of this class, which
has grown from one member at the
organization meeting in January to
l02 on the roll, with 65 present last
Sunday.
A remarkable fact connected with
the organization of this Baraca class
is that not a member was taken
from the other classes of the Sunday
school, but the membership was en-
listed from the ranks of those young
men of Americas who were not reg
ular attendants at any Sunday school
or church service.
J. M. Bryan is teacher of this large
class of young men, and is proving
popular with them. H. C. Clemens
is president of the class, with S. l.
Saunders as treasurer and Loren
Hodges, secretary.
Mr.. Poole, as chairman of the
membership committee, is doing a
splendid recruiting work, having Sc
cured the names of a number of
Americus' most prominent profess
sional young men for enrolment. His
efforts have not ceased with an en-
rollment of 102, but still he is urging
other young men to become mem
bers of this class, thus making it the
largest Bible class in Americas.
Mr.. Poole has visiting committees
who see that each member who is
absent from one session of the class
is visited and inquiries as to his alb
sence. In this way close personal
touch is kept with each member, thus
exemplifying strongly the tie which
binds Barracks together.
Visitors in Americas are welcomed
cordially into this class, and it is the
purpose of the chairman to build uI
the largest unit of young men at.

DELEGATES APPOINTED TO
ATTEND CONVENTION.

At the meeting of the Music Study
Club Wednesday morning at the
Community Club house, the follow
ing delegates were chosen to attend
the convention of Federated clubs in
Unadilla April IL and Is.
Mrs. J. W. Harris, who is mem
Der of the Music Study Club and also
president of the Americas Chapter
United Daughters of the Confeder-
acy, will go, as will Mrs. Will Dudley,
president of the Music Study Club,
and Miss Susan Stallings, a charm
ing reader. Miss Stallings will give
some of her selections, while Mrs.
Harris will report on club work, as
will Mrs. Dudley.
One of the dominant features Of
the convention of the Federated
Clubs will be the attention given to
Tallulah Falls School, which is essen
TALLY a school for mountain boys
and girls. in which so many distlng-
uished club women of Georgia are
interested. In this connection the
Music Study Club of Americas has
raised its contribution from SO to
S25. Ten dollars of this will go to
maintenance, Win IHe teIldllhIlS PLC
appropriated to the endowment fund
of the school
The financial condition of the
Music Study Club is in splendid
shape, with some funds in the treas
ury, and a great deal of the proceeds
from recent benefits having been
donated to worthy causes.
The victrola which the club spon.
sored for use in the High School
here has been paid, and generous
contributions were received from
the Woman's Club, the United
Daughters of the Confederacy and
the Kiwanians. To these three the
club members feel deeply indebted
for their generous responses to their
call, which has enabled the students
of High School to come in close per-
sonal contact with the splendid music
studies which Miss Polk has taught
them since her induction into the
school faculty several years ago,
other friends in Americas have
signified their intention of attending
he convention in Unadilla, and a
representative number may go from
here.

a meeting of the Personal Workers
and the Teachers Training Glass.
These meetings are held regularly
each Thursday evening for the pur-
pose OF acquainting the teachers
thoroughly with the exposition of the
lesson for the following Sunday, and
both students and teachers are reap
ing a great benefit from the study OF
the lesson under the direction of
Rev. Henry I. BrOokshire, pastor of
the congregation.

financial matters pertaining to club
work, has been selected to direct the
ice cream table. All kinds of cream
will be displayed in cones, just the
thing for the kiddies, and Mrs. Sell
lers will be glad to see all the chill
dren at her booth.
There will be peanuts, also. All
the tots love peanuts. These will be
crisp and warm and good, and the
only thing missing will be the ele-
plant to feed them to.
The members of the club have ar
ranged amusing games for the chill
dren, and it is urged that all the
members be present to assist in the
entertainment program.
Too much cannot be said concern
ing the purpose of the Music Study
Club in thus sponsoring the enter
tainment for Friday. A small ad-
mission of ten cents will be charged,
all Of the proceeds to go to placing
further equipment in the play
grounds for the small children The
older ones have almost ample equip
ment, such as loop-the-loops, swings,
runners, and many others, but the
very little people have not been so
well looked after. 1t is with this in
view that the admission is asked, so
that every penny received may be
placed on the grounds for the little
ones. A wading pool is in process
of building. Other things are to be
added during the summer, so that lit
tie children, as well as the older ones,
may feel that they have a part in
The pleasure of the grounds which
were built for them.

GET-TOGETHER SOCIAL,
DELIGHTFUL AFFAIR.

A social meeting of wide interest
was that Tuesday evening of the con-
gregation of Presbyterian Church in
the Sunday school rooms, at which
more than 100 persons. including
children, were present.
A program of interest was rend-
cred by the various members of the
congregation, the first part being
entirely devoted to things social.
The first number on the program
was a reading by Miss Mary Dudley,
The Resurrection" which was ex-
quisite in conception and splendidly
given. Miss Dudley is quite talent
ed in expression, and delighted her
hearers with this beautiful reading.
Others giving readings which were
thoroughly enjoyed were Miss Marie
Walker, who gave two poems, Miss
Elizabeth Harris and Miss Kathryn
Harris. All the selections were made
with the idea of pleasing.
A quartet by Mrs. Frank Ander-
son, Miss Emmie Morgan, Mrs. Wal
ter Lindley and Miss Marie Walker
was one of the splendid features of
the program. .''Sweet and Low" al
ways pleases and cordial applause
was given this selection.
Mrs. Dan O'Connell sang in a
charming manner, "Mavourneen Ac-
ushla," dainty Irish ballad.
The program was concluded with
general singing of old-time songs,
with Mrs. j. NJ Bryan presiding at
the piano. First the men sang, then
the ladies, and then all together.
This proved a most pleasing part of
the exercises.
Figures were then read of the re-
ports of the different committees
who had been commissioned into the
every-member canvass, and the re-
ports were very satisfactory The
canvass was for the purpose of Sc
curing pledges for the expenses OF
the church for the year of 1921, the
result proving all that was antici-
pated. Pledges were made at the
meeting, and it is entirely certain
that all the money which will be nee
essary to finance the institutions of
the church will be forthcoming, with
already a large portion of this hav-
ing been paid in.
Mr.. Anderson, who has been an
untiring worker for his people dur
ing the past year, is very sanguine
over the prospects of the church, and
says that his work among the people
has been one of the pleasantest eX-
periences of his life. He was graft
fled with the result of the meeting
last night, and says that great things
are in store for this church here dur
ing the year just begun.
