Southern Pines Ideal Summer Resort with Dry Air, Little Humidity, Cool Nights, April 18, 1924

The Country Club in Summer

The decision of the Board of Directors of the Country Club to keep the Club House open during the summer months has struck a popular chord among the summer residents of the town. The Club House is the logical social center of the town and with Mr. Sadler in charge will prove a popular meeting place for our summer population which attains far larger proportions during July and August than our winter residents can believe.

The new idea of the Chamber of Commerce is to promote Southern Pines as a summer resort is not as absurd as some folks are inclined to think. Summer time in the Sandhills id delightful; clean, dry air with very little humidity, frequent showers that eliminate dust, and cool nights.

Golf Gossip from Southern Pines, April 18, 1924

Golf Gossip

the management of the Country Club has made arrangement with Charlie Sadler to become a year round employe and he will remain with the club through the summer making his headquarters there and having a general supervision of the Club house and the players. It is proposed to keep the club house open and make it a social center for those who wish to patronize it. Various summer functions will be featured and the good times can be anticipated in advance. Mr. Sadler is fitted by his hotel training and his pleasing and diplomatic temperament to make an excellent host, and the managers are to be congratulated on securing his services.

Pro. Emmett French has departed for his home at Youngstown, Ohio, and his few months of service here has ended. Mr. French retains his popularity as in the past and has proven himself no mean opponent when stacked up against the champions. The only draw back to Mr. French’s services is the fact that Southern Pines gets no credit in the newspapers for the brilliant plays that he makes, although under salary from the country club, when their plys(?) are made. He is always credited to Youngstown, Ohio. why not next year have him reported from Southern Pines in the winter?

-=-

Norman Hall, Mr. French’s assistant and club maker, has packed his clubs and departed for the West. Hall should be Pro. to some club. He is a good instructor, a player in the professional class and a genial fellow to meet. It will be well to keep your eye on him for when he does start, the public will hear of some considerable number of successes from him.

Andy (Gump) who sold his old clubs a while ago felt so homesick for them that he bought one of them back. Then things seemed to be more cheerful, so Andy went out and played the 11th green on the No. 2 course in three. He had an idea that if he could buy them all back and could have played in the Hagen-French match, the result would have been different.

Tom Kelly was piloting Mr. Brown of the popular magazine, Golf Illustrated, around the course a while ago. The playing of Mr. Brown was only human, and he got into some difficulties that would have proven good to illustrate. In the end, Tom was in his old form and came in sufficiently in the lead to make it interesting for his visitor.

-=-

Although our regular Pros have left us, the local Pros remain during the summer and there will be many hotly contested matches played on the local courses during the summer months, and there will be a fair sized galley following the players too.

4-Year-Old Toby Johnson Died of Anemia, April 18, 1924

Sad Bereavement. . . Mr. and Mrs. J. Talbot Johnson Lose Their Little Boy

The sad bereavement that has come to Mr. and Mrs. J. Talbot Johnson of Aberdeen through the death of their 4-year-old son, James Talbot Johnson Jr., which occurred at Baltimore, Md., last Friday, has brought a feeling of profound sorrow to this section of Moore County where the Johnson family and little “Toby” were so well known.

On the 8th of April Mr. and Mrs. Johnson took little Toby to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore for examination and treatment for an aggravated case of anemia. The treatments failed to arrest the progress of the disease and little Toby passed away on Friday night.

The funeral service took place at the Johnson home in Aberdeen on Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock. Rev. V.R. Gaston, minister of the Presbyterian Church in Aberdeen conducted the service. The interment was at Bethesda Cemetery. It was an unusually large funeral, and it was not alone sympathy for Mr. and Mrs. Johnson that brought so many people to the funeral service, but a genuine affection for little Toby who was known and loved by every one in this section of the county. He was a bright lovable child and will be greatly missed.

It must be some consolation to Mr. and Mrs. Johnson in their sad bereavement to know that their little boy in four short years had won for himself such a host of real friends.

The installation of the members of the 1925 cabinet took place at the regular meeting of the Y.W.C.A. Sunday evening. This service was even more impressive than usual, inspiring those who saw it with a sense of deepest reverence.

The new officers, wearing pure white and those retiring, dressed in black, marched down the aisle two by two, each couple composed of one old and one new officer. Each girl carried a candle, only those of the old officers being lighted. They arranged themselves on the stage, the members of the old cabinet on the right and those of the new on the left, and the service was continued with prayer by Pauline Patton, President of the 1924 Y.W.C.A. Appropriate Bible readings were given by various members of both cabinets. Then the old officers passed their lights on to the new, each saying as he lit a candle, and extinguished her own, “As I have received this light, so give I it unto you.” After a closing prayer they went out quietly, two by two.
