CARD OF THANKS

We wish to extend to the many
kind friends and neighbors who
brought sweet consolation into our
hearts when we were suddenly be-
reaved of our beloved wife and mo-
Their. Words are inadequate to ex-
press the appreciation that we feel
and time will not efface from our
memory the consoling words and
the friendl acts of so many of you.
May God spare you similar exper-
fences and keep you in His watchful
care are the prayers of
Geo. Davis and Children.

THE PERPETUATIoN OF
MEMORIAL DAY

Excerpts from article in Atlanta
Journal by ]. Cotton Lynes.)
Character survives. To live in hearts
we leave behind is not to die.
Now and then there crops out at
some place the expression of a feel
ing that there is something improper
on the part of the Southern people
in perpetuating our Memorial days.
The record of the South's heroic dead
is inexpressibly sad; but It is incom-
parably glorious. The story of their
deeds rises to the sublimity of an ep-
ic. They honored the age in which
they lived and future generations will
read with pride the Inscriptions on
their tombs. The world can better
appreciate their services since they
have fallen and the historian has had
time to record their achievements,
The history of what the Centederr-
ate women and soldiers did in heroic
devotion and in splendid self-sacrifice
is not surpassed by that of any other
in the world. The sufferings of the
South and its losses in defense OF the
Confederate States fill the brightest
pages of human history and reflect
the highest credit on human unselfish.
ness. There never was womanhooo,
or a soldiery who did more, dared
more or endured more than the Con-
federate women and soldiers.
Why, then, should the present o.
future generation be asked to torge'
those leaders or the deeds OF the. he
roes they commanded? Move love
them. Love is immortal.

state undertaking to insure, by partic
ipation, that the road shall be sold a,
a going concern and not permit it t.
be Junked, but he is opposed to tn,
state entering sole and individual ne
gotiations for the purchase of tn
road.
State Competitor Bidder
my idea is that the best result S,
far as the State is concerned, will b.
obtained by the State taking the at
titude that it will enter into compe
tition for the purchase of this prop
erty; that it will be a bonafide bid
der for it, in order to insure the roat
being sold as a going property, an,
bidding for it along with other com
petitive bidders, but l seriously doub
the wisdom of the State independent,
and individually going out and fixing
an upset price of its own at which
will buy in the property without com
petition.
Suppose for an illustration that tn
court should order sale OF the prop
erty That would have to be done
under the law, first ON an offer to sci
as going concern, and should tina
fail to attract, then as material. Whei
it is offered as going concern Their
may be two, three, or dozen othe
bidders. If there are only two O
three the State may get the propert,
a couple of millions cheaper than i
could in an individual deal. TIL,
fact that the State would be a biddeI
on it as going concern would, in eff
feet underwrite the operation of tn,
road and guarantee it against tn,
junk pile, and that's what the peopl,
along the line want They want IL

Stanton Reviews Central Route
History

Stanton Reviews Central Route
History
V. L. Stanton, president of the Gen.
trail Dixie Highway Association, who
has been associated with the route
since 1915 paid a tribute to William
r. Bowen and Isidor Gelders, as the
original promoters of this highway
into Florida and to Fitzgerald as its
birthplace, for as he stated, the first
meeting was called at Fitzgerald and
the first organization formed at which
Mr.. Bowen was elected president and
Mr.. Gelders Secretary of the Associa-
ton, whose, active agitation brought
about the final recognition by the Dix
lie Highway Association with the help
of such friends of the movement as
w. t. Anderson of Macon, Jep Nc
Donald of Douglas, ]. D. Mitchell,
and v. L. Stanton of Waycross, F.
M. Beckham of Abbeville and others.
Historical Trails
Mr.. Stanton also paid high tribute
to Mrs. DR.. ]. L. Walker of Waycross,
historian of the U. D. C's. whose stor-
les of the early Indian Trails, traced
by her through the territory traversed
by the Central Route from Ware
County into Pulaski, have given his
torical value to the Central Route.
The progress of civilization can be
traced from the narrow Indian trails
to the present wide avenues travers-
ing the Central Route. Mr.. Stanton
made strong appeal for fair play in
establishing primary roads, choosing
such routes which are geographically
right in which class he properly placed
the Central Route, for its shorter and
easier upkeep from any other route
projected from Macon to the Florida
Metropolis.
Messrs Holder, and Neel in brief
replies to Mr.. Stanton's speech re-
assured the association of their full
cooperation in maintaining the Gen.
trail Route as ne of the primary roads
of the states system of highways.
Bond Issue Advocated
Mr.. J. T. Farmer, managing direc-
tor of the Good Roads Association
for Georgia made strong plea for
the passage of the $75,000,000 bond
issue and urged its support.
Visitors Entertained
After the conclusion of Mr.. Farm.
err, adjournment was taken to the Lor
Dicley Tobacco Warehouse, where
the Chamber of Commerce had pre-.
pared a barbecue luncheon for the
visiting delegations and their friends
Select numbers were sang by loca
Kiwanis, joined by some of their Wis
iting members, whilst the rest feaste(
on barbecued lamb and pork.
About three hundred guests enjoyed
the barbecue.
