LOVELY LUNCHEON.

The Gardner home was the scene OF
one of the happiest social affairs of the
series arranged in honor of Mrs. Wool
sey, a lovely luncheon bringing to-
gether a number of Dawson's society
women. The hospitality of Mesdames
Gardner is proverbial, and this occa-
sion in every respect reflected the cor
diality of the popular hostesses. Mrs.
IT. B. Raines was at home at very
enjoyable bridge party, Mrs. Woolsey
being the central figure of very con-
genial group of friends Another pref
Ity compliment to Mrs. Woolsey was
the luncheon at which Mrs. D. {.
Pickett entertained. Mrs. w. B. Parks
was hostess at a we'll appointed lunch
con on Saturday for Mrs. Woolsey a
number of girlhood friends of the hon
or guest sharing the pleasures of the
occasion so happily planned. Not the
least among the social courtesies eX-
tended Mrs Woolsey were the spend
the day parties giveh by Mrs. Will
Alexander Mrs. Carver Fox and Miss
Lizzie Whitchard. Delightful among
the small affairs was the one table OF
bridge at which Mrs. J. E. Wilkes
entertained, and a small morning par
tv at the home of Mrs. ]. E. Morris,
who served a hot course. Others en-
Pertaining very delightfully."- were Mrs.
J. G. Dean, Mrs NJ. H. Harper and

CONTRACTOR WILL
QUIT HIGHWAY WORK
AGREEMENT TO THAT EFFECT
IS Raced BETWEEN COM
MISSIONERS AND GARDNER.

By an agreement reached between
the county commissioners and M. H.
Gardner, of Columbus, to whom the
contract was let last August to con-
struct the nine miles in Terrell coun-
ty OF the Dawson-Cuthbert highway,
that road will be completed by the
county with the exception of the con-
crete bridge over the creek in the
southeastern limits OF the city, which
will be finished by the contractor.
For some time there has been dis
satisfaction on the part of both the
county commissioners and the con-
tractor, the former due to the slow
ness with which the work has pro-
crossed and the latter because pay
ment was made in deferred warrants
by the county for its prorata part OF
the contract. The agreement between
the commissioners and the contractors
was made at a meeting of the county
board Tuesday, and the terms on
which the contract was annulled was
satisfactory to both parties. Mr. Gard
ner was represented in the negotia-
tions by his attorney, Hon. L. F.
CARED, of Columbus, while the coun-
tvs attorneys, Yeomans & Wilkinson,
looked after the county legal interests
in the matter.
Besides completing the concrete
bridge the contractor will also finish
that part of the highway which has
been graded, and will be paid for the
work a stipulated sum per yard.
The the contract for the completion
of the road was let at approximately
$4,000, half of which was to paid for
by federal aid funds and the other
half by the county. 1t is estimatee'
that work already done by the CON
tractor amounts to $l1,881. He has re-
ceived from the federal aid fund $4,000,
and the county has issued to him an
equal amount of warrants.

Baptist S. S. Courses
Were Led by Mrs. Gerald
State Sunday School Worker Was
Honored With Large Glasses.

One of the greatest treats the peo-
pie of the Dawson Baptist church!
have had in some years was enjoyed
last week in the two Sunday school
study courses led by Mrs. O. M. Ger
aid, of Thomson, Ca who is state
Sunday school worker with the Baptist
state mission board of Georgia.
Mrs. Gerald came to teach only ele-
mentary work, but on account OF the
failure of a teacher to come to teach
in the Brentwood church Mr.. G. W.
Andrews had to leave his class here IN
the normal manual with Mrs. Gerald
and go there to teach. So Mrs. Gerald
had both courses and all say that she
has done the work in both classes tar
better than they thought it possible
for any one to do. All who attended
the courses speak in highest terms OF
Mrs. Gerald, and all say that 1t ought
to be an easy matter to have the most
efficient Sunday school now than 1t
has ever been possible to have here.
The spiritual atmosphere of the SEES
sions was at high point all the time
and will bear fruit in the hearts and
lives of those attending.
There will be 20 or % awards given
as result of successful work on the
part of those taking the written exam
nations given by Mrs. Gerald.
The Sunday school institute held at
the Brentwood Baptist church Sunday
was enjoyed from a spiritual stand
point as well as a social standpoint.
The devotional in the morning led by
Rev. Wingart, of the Lutheran church,
was fine beginning of the day. The
addresses by Miss Grace Thomson,
Col. Frank L. Mallory, of Macon, wer"
thoroughly inspiring and instructive
and very enjoyable to Sunday school
workers. In the afternoon the large
congregation heard Rev, R. B. James
and Mr.. Geo. Andrews with as much
interest and profit as they did the
speakers of the morning hour. The
bountifu1 spread by the Brentwood peo-
pie, characteristic of that hospitable
community, was thoroughly enjoyed
by the large number of representatives
of the Baptist church in the Terrell
county district of the Summerhill Bap-
fist Association.

NATIONAL HEALTH
WEEK FOR NEGROES
WILL BE OBSERVED APRIL 2-8.
w. P. HORNADY is LOCAL
CHAIRMAN.

Mr.. w. P. Hornady, county chair
man of Inter Racial Cooperation, is
anxious that Terrell county shall be
made the cleanest spot on the map dur
ing National Health Week to be OBJ
served by the negroes in all sections
April End to 9Th, and to that end Is
trying to secure the cooperation OF
the city authorities in removing refuse
and in proper draiping.
The negroes of Dawson have al
ways shown commendable civic pride
by cooperating in every local cleanup
movement, but in some instances they
have not received the consideration and
encouragement due them in the matter
of having the refuse from their prem
ises removed promptly after they had
put forth such effort to have it ready
for the carts.
This is a form OF propaganda for
health which is very valuable, not only
to the negro, but also to his white
neighbor and employer. The commu-
nifty value of a negro population, alive
to the value of health and sanitation
cannot be over-emphasiZed.
1t is the ambition this year OF those
leading in the movement to aid i'll the
cleanest cleanup week yet held, set
ting as a goal the following detectives
Every congregation to be address

ness and sanitation; the interest OF as

the culture OF Strawberries on rath-

the young crop was injured more or
less by recent hail, which battered
the blooms, though it is hoped the
plants are not so much hurt that they
will not soon come out all right. The
growers interested in this industry
have put in about one hundred acres
and If the yield of fruit is encouraging
the acreage will be materially increas-
