AN APPRECIATION OF
HON. A. E. KENNEY

To the Editor,
Calhoun Chronicle,
Grantsvile. VIVA,
Dear Sir
Will you permit me a brief word in
eulogy Of my friend, Mr.. A e. Kenney
who has just died.
He was one of the most pleasant, I'M
selfish and considerable men that it has
ever been my privilege to know. 1 shall
never forget one occasion when high
floods had made all of the roads i'm
passable and 1 came through to Grants
Vile with Mr.. Kenney on a boat which
had very meagre accommodations. He
took charge of the comforts of the whole
party and saw to it that we were all
well provided for before he laid down to
rest himself.
Very respectfully yours,
Godfrey L Cabot.

AGED STRANGER is
FOUND NEAR DAWSON
GOT LOST ON WAY BACK TO
ALABAMA. HIS FIRST TRIP
AWAY FROM HOME.

Holding tight to his faded wallet
bullying with big roll of bills,
Frances Marion Weems, an aged citi-
zen of Alabama, sat in the waiting
room at the Central railroad station
early Friday morning eager to begin
the journey back to the quiet little
home in Henry county, Alabama,
from which he had wandered for the
first time in his long life only to be-
come confused and bewildered out in
the big world.
Wide publicity was given through
the daily press of the old mans plight
when found, lost on the highway, by
Sheriff Woods, three miles north of
Dawson on Wednesday so bewilder-
ed that he was unable to give an ac-
count of himself. The officer brought
him to Dawson and made every eff
fort to get coherent statement from
the stranger so that he might COM
municate with his relatives. The old
mans mind seemed to be a blank so
far as his past life was concerned, but
he gave the information that his home
was several miles out from Abbeville,
Ala. Sheriff Woods got in communi-
cation with authorities at Abbeville,
but they could find no one who could
furnish the desired information. In
the meantime the old gentleman was
receiving every attention from the
sheriff's family and others who inter-
ested themselves in his behalf.
Relatives in Winder read the story
printed in the daily papers and at once
got in touch with the authorities in
Dawson, and Thursday night Mr..
Weems wife and son from Alabama
and his brother, Thomas Weems, OF
Winder, arrived in Dawson. They
were very appreciative of the kind at
tention their relative had received
here They stated that the old man
had never been away from home on
the train before, having lived very
secluded life in the home in which he
was born about seventy years ago.
Recently a nephew from Texas en-
route to visit his father, Thomas
Weems, at Winder, came by his un-
cle's home in Alabama and persuad-
ed the old man to accompany him to
Georgia for a family reunion. At the
large family gathering and dinner at
Winder the Alabama man appeared
to be in fine health and of sound mind.
He left Monday to make the return
trip to Alamaba alone. He got along
all right on the journey as far as
Smithville The old man, however, was
train, getting as far as Adams sta
ton. The conductor, trying to set him
right, put him off there with instruc-
tons to take the next train back to
Smihville. The old man, however, was
so bewidered by his first experience
on railroad train decided to make
the trip on foot and reached Dawson
Wednesday, having completely lost
his bearings.
1t was pathetic to see how over
joyed the aged stranger was to see
familiar faces and to know that his
own folks were here to pilot him
safely back to the peace and quiet OF
his rural home from which, it is safe
to say, he will be slow to fare forth
again.

BAPTIST REVIVAL
CLOSES TOMORROW
THE CONGREGATIONS HAVE
BEEN LARGE AND MANY
HAVE JOINED CHURCH.

The Baptist revival will close to-
morrow "Wednesday night after
having been in progress through the
past week, each service being mark
ed with deep interest. So great have
been the crowds at the evening SER
vices it was necessary on several oc-
casions to place chairs in all the avail
able space in the main auditorium and
the gallery to take care of the over
flow. The preaching by Rev. Charles
c. Williams, of Mercer University,
has been of the highest order and his
messages have carried strong appeal
which has developed a strong spirit
ual interest which will bear fruit in
the direction of Mr. E. Edward Lee,
professor Of sacred music at Mercer
University, has constituted a very i'm
portant feature of the large gather
ings The different choirs under
the good training of the director and
the chorus work has been very in
spring. Two pianos were used, Misses
Jessie Martin and Della Hors1ey con-
tributing very much to the music by
their skillful rendering of accompani-
ments to the volume of vocal numbers
in which the vast audiences joined
heartily.
Up to Sunday night large number
had united with the church, and it is
expected that many others will join
before the meeting closes.
The pastor, Rev. S. F. Lowe, has
looked carefully after the details nee
aeeor,y +o tho Corrvinu on Of the re-
vival work successfully. The extreme
ly disagreeable weather of the past
few days has been a handicap, but the
zeal of many of the worshippers has
kept the services going regular despite
the fact that they had to get to the
church through heavy rains. The old
er members of the congregation say
the attendance on these services has
been the best in the history OF the
church.

Chicken Sale Will
Be Held in April
Is Proposed to Ship Car Load Of
Terrell County Fowls.

Does Terrell county want to sell
one or more carloads OF chickens?
Mr.. H. A. Petty and Mr.. R. D.
Smith, cashier of the City National
bank, are taking the necessary steps
for Terrell county's first carload ship
ment of chickens, which is a move
ment of great importance and will no
doubt bring about cooperation OF
poultry raisers that will result in such
success that will make other Georgia
counties sit up and take notice. Ter
rell county has a way of bringing
things to pass when her citizens work
together for any public enterprise, and
the shipping of chickens by the car
load is practically assured.
1t is proposed to have the sale ear
~ in April, and those who have
chickens to sell are requested to write,
phone or see any employe OF the City
National bank or Mr.. Petty how
many they will sell. Hens, roosters
and fryers will all be in demand at
this sale, which will give an oppor-
tunity to sell off old chickens and
make room for younger ones.
Terrell county is famous for grow
ing cotton, and will continue to grow
the feecy staple in spite of the boil
weevil, and the same enterprise is
now developing other money crops.

Small Audience Hears
Charles Crawford Gorst
Naturalist's limitations Were Good
And Lecture Entertaining.

What was possibly the most unique
and interesting lecture ever heard IN
Dawson was that of last night at the
court house by Charles Crawford
Gorst, the great naturalist, who came
to Dawson under the auspices OF the
Woman's club. AS an imitator OF
bird notes Mr.. Gorst has few equals,
and his demonstration last night IN
twenty tone variations was wonderful
The lecturer was presented to the
small-sized audience by Mr.. w. b.
Parks. The auditorium was rather
chilly on account of the sudden drop
in the temperature, and evidently the
speaker felt the discomfort and the
program was cut considerably. 1t was
very unfortunate that conflicting at
fractions and unfavorable weather
conditions prevented a larger number
from enjoying this rare entertainment.
There were many things brought out
about birds that everybody should
know, and the large paintings OF the
feathered songsters, which were
part of the evenings entertainment,
we're we'll worth the price OF admls-
sion
