HA VE FEAST AND CONCERT
WITHIN CONFINING WALLS
Santa Claus will pay his annual visit
to the Federal prison this Christmas
by special arrangement with Uncle
Sam, and while the prisoners may not
have been good at times like the folks
he visits every year, yet they have been
good as- long as they have been In
prison and for this he will reward them
with a turkey dinner.
Fruits, cake and other good things
not to be found on the dally menu will
be Included in the extra good dinner
that will be served on this occasion.
The day will be given over to a Christ
mas celebration and the spirit of the
season will permeate the big barred
bastlle so thoroughly- that the thoughts
of a shady past will give way to the
enjoyment of the occasion.
The menu for Christmas dinner will
be: Roast turkey, savory dressing,
Robert E. Turnage, aged 28 years,
charged with attempted criminal as
sault on Mrs. Carrie Comstock,
found guilty by the Jury which tried
his case, late Tuesday afternoon, as
was reported In the night edition of
The Georgian Tuesday, and a sentence
of fifteen years was Imposed by Judge
Roan.
The jury made a recommendation for
mercy along with their verdict of guil
ty. Judge Roan stated that but for
this he would have given the prisoner
the limit. The case went to the Jury
about 3:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon,
the Jury reporting to Judge Roan a*.
4:40 o'clock.
When asked by Judge Roan If he had
any statement to make before sentence
was pronounced Turnage said he did
not remember anything of the alleged
assault. On the day of the alleged
crime he said he had come Into Atlan
ta In the morning from Montgomery.
He recollected forming a determina
tion to go to his home, 128 Jones ave
nue, to see his family. His mind was
a total blank from that time until he
found himself playing pool on Marietta
street. He claimed he was in a fit of
Insanity at the time of the crime.
J. w. Turnage, tho aged futher of
Robert E. Turnage, the prisoner, stood
by the side of his son when sentence
was pronounced. He was much shaken
over the verdict.
Bell Teleph ones Ring Out
The Progress of the South
M
ORE than 100,000 Bell Telephones are in operation on lines owned by
the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company in its territory.
Every subscriber can communicate with these, and by reason of our connec
tion with the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, with millions
of other Bell telephone subscribers throughout the United States.
T HE Fanners’ Lines have removed the fanner of the South from isola
tion. The markets and news arc carried to the farmer by means of ex
tensive lines that cover the South with a network of wires.
tN tho city the Bell Telephone has facilitated the transaction of business,
I saving the busy man time, travel, trouble and money. The telephone
stands pre-eminent among the modern agencies of inter-communication.
I
N the home the bell Telephone occupies a place that ho other agency can
fill. Ready day and night, it is a tireless, sleepless servant on constant
duty. The absent father or husband need not worry about those at home if
there is a Bell Telephone in the house. *
THE SERVICE IS SATISFACTORY.
THE RATES ARE REASONABLE.
Now is a good time to become a subscriber and get in touch with the rest
of the users of the telephone. Write to nearest manager or

No work will be done on Christmas
day except that which Is .absolutely
necessary In such a big household. The
prisoners will be accorded all the com
forts possible consistent with the re
strained conditions and rigid regula
tions governing the management of tho
big Jail. Meals must be cooked, the
prison property must be cleaned, the
yards swept and ordinary chores must
be done; otherwise the Inmates will be
relieved of work.
Concert in Chapel.
A recital and musical will be given
In the big chapel, beginning at 10:30
o'clock Christmas morning. Chaplain
Tupper has been accorded the support
of several good Atlanta people and a
program of Interest and amusement
has been provided and the prisoners
will be accorded an Intellectual treat.
Instrumental and vocal solos, humor
ous recitals and anecdotes will com
pose the program. The religious por
tion will be. cared for by the chaplain.
An Instrumental duot will be ren
dered by the Misses Langford. Dr. M.
F. Foster will give one of his most In
teresting and humorous character re
citals, together with several entertain
ing and Interesting anecdotes. Dave
Silverman, Atlanta's violinist, will con
tribute one of his best selections.
Marlon Hood will render a bass solo,
and Mrs. H. Edgar Fry will entertain
with a piano selection of classical
music. Mrs. James E. Lee will sing,
and Mrs. Vance Hunter and Miss Hal-
tle Hunter will also contribute enter
taining numbers.
The entire program for this occasion
lias not yet been finished by Chaplain
Tupper, ami several other Interestin':
entertaining features will be add
ed this week. It Is possible that prom
inent ministers Interested In evnngod-
al work will be asked to participate In
the Christmas celebration, making the
occasion one long to be remembered
and beneficial to the -prisoners.
Tha Prison Orchestra.
One of the features of the occasion
will be the prison orchestra, which Is
being rehearsed dally by the chaplain.
Several of the prisoners are expert
musicians on different Instruments and
oa several Instruments have been con
tributed to the prison for the amuse
ment of the Inmates since the opening
of the penitentiary, they have been
given to those musically Inclined with
the result that a fairly good nucleus
has been created, about which may be
built an expert musical organization.
One of the long-term prisoners de
rives a great deal of solace and com
fort from a violin upon which he is
allowed to play at times. Another has
become attached to a bass violin and
has become quite adept In developing
sonorous harmonies from Its depths to
Ills bwn amusement as well us his
mates. A clarinet player, a guitar and
mandolin performer, are sometimes
called in to contribute on musical oc
casions.
The gathering* In the prison, chapel
are always looked forward to with In
terest by the prisoners. The entertain
ing programs serve to turn their
thoughts from themselves and past
misdeeds; they offer a reprieve from
the long sentence of solitude and the
days and nights of monotony give way
to something from the outside world
which Is an event In their prison lives.
VISIT 10 ATLANTA
Mr*. Carrie Nation, late of Kansan.
Ih not coming to Atlanta until after
Chriatmas. This fact was announced
TutjHduy after Ailantu people Interested
in her work were Jn communlcatl.«»
with the funioua saloon smasher. It
was thought better to postpone the visit
of Mrs. Nation In tho Interest of tem-
peramo until after Atlanta people get
through with their Christmas rush and
then they will have more time to hear
Mm. Nation lecture at 10 cents per and
more time, too, to buy her souvenir
hatchet*. It In said that she will come
to Atlanta the week after Chrlatmaa.
So for awhile the saloon keeper* will
rest In peace.
