Barbecue at Colliers in Honor of Soldiers. The most joyous occasion ever held at Colliers was the ibarbecue given last Saturday by the people of the Colliers section in honor of the young white men who entered the army and navy from that community and adjoining communities. The writer regrets extremely his inability to at tend, having received several invita tions from kind friends. In. order to have everything per taining to the dinner arranged and conducted in the best manner pos sible, the celebrated chef, Mr. A. A. Edmunds, better known as Gus Ed munds, was sent for and he had a large part in seasoning and cooking the hash and meats for the feast. A special table, tastefully decorated with flags and the national colors, was arranged for the soldiers who answered their country's call: George, Eugene and James Miller, Robert and Frank Adams, Lewis, Wallace, Joe and Earl Hamond, Dr. Earris Mathis, Jr., Harry Culbreath, Key Holmes, J. E. Atkinson, Jr., Preston and William Lanham. While the boys were partaking of the best of everything that the Colliers pantries and affectionate Colliers mothers could provide, the other folk present were gathered about a long public table, where enough dinner was spread to satisfy the appetites of twice the number present. A pleasing feature of the day was a game of ball in the morning and . afternoon between the Colliers and Plum Branch teams. Each of them won a game and soon they will have ; a contest at Plum Branch to break the tie. The people of Colliers are proud j of the record their soldier boys made and are grateful for their services ? and sacrifices and decided upon the barbecue as a day of pleasure and enjoyment for these splendid young fellows, 16 in number, and their rel atives and friends. Very Small Rooms. The ready-made, knocked-down houses are growing in popularity. They are said to be cheap and eco nomical in construction, and one reason they are cheaper than the or dinary house is on account of their , squall rooms. Our people will have to get accustomed to smaller rooms. The old 20x20 and 18x18, or even 16x16, rooms are things of the past. . Modern houses have rooms 10x10 and 10x12, with seldom anything larga* than 14x16* Wide halls have gone forever. Smaller rooms mean j cheaper houses, and that is wTiat most builders are looking for.

The members of the committee should meet again the evening of the 26th, make a report to the county chairman, by telephone if possible, and if a committeeman fails to get a prospect to sign an application, he should give the name to another mem ber of the committee who ought to visit the prospect Wednesday, the 27th; and if he fails to get the pros pect to join, give it to.a third com mitteeman who should visit the pros pect on the 28th.
