THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.
MONDAY, NOVHWB8R *.
3
A THOUSAND DOLLARS
WHY WE DO THIS. .
A newspaper with a subscription list the else of The Georgian and
News spends a great deal of time and money each year collecting and re
newing Its subscriptions. Experience has shown that the use of special
prizes and the employment of experts to do this work Is a wise Investment
from a business standpoint. We simply contract with an expert who
knows the management of these things as the engineer knows his engine.
We have taken a special office in the Austell building, room 821, In which
to conduct the work; a large force of assistants will conduct the contest
and personally visit alntost every home in Georgia. The Georgian and
News Is mainly a Georgia paper—It goes some to other states, but not
nearly so much as other papers do. We do not try to get circulation much
outside of Georgia We are making It a home v paper. This opportunity Is
superior to most similar ones given here before, because the wealth of
prises which have seldom been equaled are to be divided to Atlanta and
Georgia alone.
As we have told our readers, the advertiser, who pays three times as
much toward the expense of newspapers as the reader pays, needs
large circulations to bring him customers. So newspapers can afford to
give these Inducements from time to time for the benefits they bring
their advertisers. The Georgian Is going to 30,000 homes now, and we ex
pect to add from five to ten thousand more before this contest ends in
February. These so-called prizes are genuine and will be exhibited In
prominent places soon. The Georgian does not simply give them awav—
for we get much In return—but the one who wins the prize need'make
no outlay, but simply ask her friends to'take The Georgian and use the
votes this gives for her benefit.
-to be given away in the Georgian’s Sub
scription Contest~the money is in
gold--the Automobiles cost $2,000
and $650 respectively.
There are 94 Prizes to be given away—among which are $1,000 in Gold; one $2,000 Automobile, one $650 Runabout, twenty trips to Cuba,
twenty Dixie Business College Scholarships—stenographic or commercial—five Musical Scholarships at Klindworth Conservatory of
Music, covering 36 weeks, five complete Scholarships in Cox College, College Park, fifteen Solitaire Diamonds, to be seen at Schaull &
May’s, and fifteen Gold Watches, to be seen at Crankshaw’s, ten Kingsbury Upright Pianos, $350 each, from Cable Piano Co., and one

Chairman.”
THE ORPHEUM—Monday night, high-
data vaudeville.
BOSTOCK AS
noon, animal ahow at Ponce
“A Doll’s House” at Grand.
What Is the relation of woman as
an Individual to human society
whole? What Is the right of tho wife
In the affaire of the husband? Must
a woman- look to thewabrktng opr of
her own soul’s salvation .first, or must
her all be given to her husband and
her children?
These-are srtme of the
vital Importance raised bV Hen
sen’s domestic drama, *A Doll’s House,”
In which Miss Florence DaVIs will'be
seen nt the Grand Monday night and
Tuesday matinee and-night.
It Is a play with a lesson,- and yet
It Is not "preaehy.” Ibsen has cut a
cross-section from life Itself, and tho
audience looks In upon the family of
Torvald and Nora and forgets j It Is
only aqtlng It Is seeing. - It la a story
that goes straight to the heart, a'
drama that appeals to all ages and all
classes, and It It admittedly one of the
masterpieces of modem dramas.
Miss Florence Davis, as Nora, Is the
central character. In the play she
faces all these questions, and faces
them when they demand an Immediate
answer. She answers them as her
woman’s intuition tells her that they
must be answered, and. though It
brings a gTuat stirrow, yet. one knows
and feels that out of the ashes of her
disappointment this little woman has
conquered and has brought the light bf
a great undertaking to her self-satis
fied husband, who believes, himself In
fallible.
“The County Chairman,”
George Ade'a sparkling cothedy, "The
County Chairman," will be the week’s
offering at the Bijou. 'Jhtls pictorial
comedy possesses the same charm and
refreshing simplicity that has mad# the
author’s works noteworthy In the past.
Mr. Ade has been the pioneer In dis
covering the Innate charm of rustic
caricature, and no one else has used
this material In the same original way.

and a score of others that seem like

serving all the real human nature and

monster car being driven at the rate
of 60 miles an hour, with a panorama
of flying scenery, dust flying and wind
