STATE ROUTE II
TO BE IMPROVED
TO FLORIDA LINE
Lanier and Berrien County Boosters
Back Project; Another Tourist Route
To Pass Through Fitzgerald

Steps are being taken by Lanier and
Berrien county citizens for the up
building of state highway No. ii
which originates at Macon and passing
through Fitzgerald and Ocilla con-
meets the Georgia state system with
the Florida system at Jasper. The
route traverses a beautiful section OF
South Georgia, passing Lucy Lake and
Banks Lake, the largest inland BODY OF
water in Georgia. Reason Henderson, J
]. Knight and Mayor Miller of Mill
town, Editor Chism and Secretary
Tucker of the Nashville Board OF
Trade and Mr.. Powell, cashier OF the
Bank of Nashville are actively behind
the movement and areS planning to
give a fish fry at Banks Lake, to
which the State Highway Departments
of Georgia and Florida and other cit
liens from interested towns in FLOR
ida and Georgia will be invited.
Already fair road connects Ocllla
with Midtown, with good bridges be-
ing built by the State Highway De-
partment and the road from Midtown
to Jasper is reported in good condition.
Tourists headed for middle Florida
from Macon will prefer this route,
when they learn of this much shorter
mileage as between the competing
route to Lake City. Fitzgerald will
give this movement every possible as
SiStance.

A MEMORIAL TO
LAURIE CARNES

Abbeville, Ga, March 28-On his
fathers premises situated on the Dixie
Highway, is planted Scarlet Maple,
a living memorial to our much beloved
soldier of the World War, Laurie
Carnes. The planting of this tree was
planned Immediately after he made the
supreme sacrifice, but the "Victory
Row" was substituted The Maple tree
still remained vision and when Mrs.
Brantley, State president of Woman's
Federation, appointed Mrs. Sheldon on
Tree Planting Committee she thought
at once of Laurie Carnes, and inter-
viewed his father and other members
of the family who acquesced most
graciously. The Scarlet Maple was or
dered and program arranged. We
trust the tree will grow to maturity
and its scarlet leaves be reminder Of
our brave soldier boy who sacrificed
his young and noble life on his coun-
try's altar.
"Sleep today, thou early fallen,
in thy green and narrow bed,
Dirges of the pine and cypress
Mingle with the tears we've shed.
We shall meet, but we shall miss him
There will be one vacant char,
We shall 1inger to caress him,
When we breathe the evening
prayer.

WILCOX FIELD DAY
FEATURES MASS
EVENTS IN CONTESTS

ROCHELLE, Ga, March 30-The
schools of Wilcox county held "a field
meet Friday that is believed to mark
the beginning of new era in such
affairs in Georgia. Most of the day

school entered 20 per cent of its en-
rollment for the current month. BY
this method approximately 80 chill
dren took part in the contests. In
meets where individual events only
are featured the average number con-
testing is IS.
Fifty-yard relays for boys and girls
over thirteen; twenty-five for those
under thirteen; running broad Jumps
and polo races for the same groups
were conducted on the rs per cent
basis. This placed the smallest
school in the county on an equal
footing with the largest. The win
ming school was determined by dlvld-
ing the entire time required to run
off relay by the number running to
obtain the average time tor each
school, the shortest average time Win
ming. e.,
No prizes were awarded, no undue
emphasis placed upon winning. Pat
ronS, pupils ana teachers pIollou!Ieu
it the most enthusiastic, harmonious
and enjoyable meet they had ever at
tended.
Over thousand pupils and teach
ers took part in the parade which
preceded the contests. The Rochelle

tributed.

has assigned different park plots IN
the streets to special ladies: With the
city donating the manual labor and all
the city ladies liberal in donations OF

nation in a short time.
While the grassy plots were not un-
attractive and invited many compll-
ments from visitors in the past, the
luxuriant growth of flowers is going
to surpass by far the former attract
iveness. Mrs. T. J. Dickey might be
called the pace maker in this work,

CINCINNATI To FLORIDA


CHORT ROUTE "A will save
Nl2O0 miles on the round trip
to Florida resorts for the peo-
pie of Illinois and other points
of the middle west. At zoe a
mile, with four to the car, this
means a net saving of $240 per
car, and an average of seven
DAYS time. The same to Ohio
and Illinois, on 10000 cars only,
would be 81, 100000 in good hard
cash and 10000 days of time
travelling. The days saved would
mean 1867 months, or l67 years.

for this new road to the South,
