IN MEMORIAM OF OUR BROTHER,
CAPTAIN BYRD MOBLEY
Fitzgerald, Ga, Dec. 2,1925.

rlCZgeralu, "a, Dec. z,ISIO.
BY appointment from the Grand
Master of Coffee Lodge No. 1913,
Free and Accepted Masons, to draw
Resolutions for record in said lodge
of their deceased brother, Byrd
Mobley,
RESOLVED, That while death has
again visited our lodge and taken
from us our Brother Mason, Captain
Byrd Mobley, our ranks have been
broken. But from time memorial,
has taught us that the summons from
the Great Architect of the Universe
must be answered; and,
WHEREAS, We know God calls us
one by one from our labor here on
earth to that great reward beyond
this vail of tears, and while we mourn
the loss of him, yet in the days that
come and go we can revert our minds
back and think of our brother, who,
but few days since, was among us
in all the pride and power of life.
Think on ourselves; thus will we be
when the Candle of Life has burned
to its socket. Mans life is like a
flower which blooms today, and to-
morrow is faded and cast aside, and
trodden under foot. And while we
are passing one by one, let us con-
slider how soon the gaps are filled
that are made in society by those
who ide around US; how soon time
heals the wounds that death inflicts
upon the loving heart; and from this
let us learn humanity. We are but
drops in the great ocean 81 humanity.
While our brother may have had
some faults we write them upon the
sands, and while our sun is sinking
to the west, how much more swiftly
fly now the years than when in rosy
youth we looked upon uncloudy skies.
Centuries upon centuries have rolled
away behind us; before us stretches
an eternity of years tocome. On the
narrow boundary between the past
and present flickers the puny taper
termed life. We are told that in life
we are in the midst of death. So it
behooves us to live that life that when
God sends His angel to us with the

Mrs. Jones Addresses
p. +. Association

Hardly representative crowd of
P. T. A. members of the city, but a
very interested one, gathered at the
Woman's Club Room, onSW ednesday
afternoon to hear Mrs. Bruce Carr
Jones, the national chairman of the
Aliteracy Committee, give an illumin-
ating address on the subject. Few
of her hearers, few Americans in fact,
appreciate the true status of our
country, their own state or even their
own Community in the matter of illit-
eracy, OF recognize the fact that the
condition lis craving. worse rather
than better. The p. T. A. has es-
poused this enlightenment campaign
because the betterment of schools in
attendance and in interest is so re-
tarded by illiteracy of parents. Mrs.
Cora Wilson Stewards personal cru
SADIE, the moonlight schools in Ken
lucky, and her methods were touched
in an Interesting resume. 1t is proven
that six lessons will teach a person
of ordinary intelligence to write their
name, and that twenty-four lessons
will teach them to read and write to
the extent of making them self-help-
full and equipped for ordinary needs.

associations. should be organized to
wipe out the blight from each COM
munity. Persistent organized effort
is rewarded with quick and grateful
help. AS a result of Mrs. Jones's
informative talk and its impress on
her hearers, and also the urgent ap-
peal of Mrs. Hilbqrn, state chair
man in the same work, the suggestion
was made and acted upon to plan
some definite work at once. Mrs. Ed
Dorminey, Mrs. R. E. Lee and Mrs.
G. E. Usher were named committee
for this immediate activity by Mrs.
A. H. Denmark, who presided at the
meeting as hostess-president of the
P. T. A. A musical number by
Misses Ruth Russell and Corinne Ell
lis opened the program and an in
formal reception with the second
grade mothers as hostesses in the tea
room was the pleasing conclusion.

the fortitude of upright men and
Masons, and say, "Thy will be done"
We extend to the bereaved family
our heartfelt sympathy, and ask that
they remember those beautiful flow
ers spread on the grave of the de-
parted one. May they be symbol
of remembrance of all the virtues of
their loved ones who have preceded
them to the silent land; the token of
that loving alliance which bound
them while here on earth, and which
we hope will finally unite them in
heaven, is our fervent prayer.
