probably avail themselves of the
pleasures of the occasion during its
week’s session.
Mr. and Mrs. Walter Ray, of AiL

city, guests of Mr. J. J. Smith’s fam
ily. Miss Pauline Smith accompanied

Olfr automobilists will have to curb
their desire to spurt around the court

The condition of Col. W. F. Weaver
became so serious Monday night that
his loved ones became alarmed and
his father was wired for and came
in from Reynolds yesterday morning.
We are glad to know, however, that
he rallied yesterday and is now great
ly improved.
Mrs. Mary Darden and Miss Ada
Ivey were called to Hartford, Ala.,
this morning by a telephone message
announcing that their brother, Mr.
Henry Ivey, was dying. Mr. Ivey
has been an invalid for several years.
He was for a long time a resident of
Blakely and ha 3 many friends and
acquaintances among our people who
regret to hear of this sad news.
The monument fund has been fur
ther increased this week by a nice
little donation from the members of
the grand jury. This sum, in con
nection with that realized last week
from the dinners served by the I>augh.
ters under the able management of
Mrs-. J. R. Pottle and Mrs. W. L. Mc-

Booth Lowrey, the noted lecturer,
was greeted by a slim audience last
Friday night, but the few present
greatly enjoyed the humorous lecture,
in which he touched upon many of
the foibles of human nature. The
slim patronage given to the lyceum
entertainments this season has brought
die management out debt and will
probably result in our city being de
prived of this high-class of entertain
ments next season.
It is ha-dly necessary to call the
attention of our readers to the large
advertisement of Mr. Sam Stein in
this issue of the News. It speaks j
plainly for itself and carries a mes
sage of reduced values to our people
which they would do well to read
over carefuly. Mr. Stein carries one
of the largest stocks of dry goods
in the city and among the splendid
offerings he will make during this ten
days sale are some of the very new
est and fre/shesti of this season’s'
goods.
Marion Allen, the little two-year

at 2 o’clock Monday afternoon, the
funeral services being conducted by
Revs. A. M. Williams, of
ville, Rev. H. J. Graves, of Jakin, and
Rev. T. G. Lang, of Blakely. The
sorrowing young parents have the
sympathy of a host! of friends in
the loss of their precious little hoy.
The bad boys were abroad in the
city one night last week, moving
signs, obstructing streets and playing
other mischievous pranks, but. the
one feature of their devilment that'
hurt our people most was the desecra
tion of the old Confederate flag pole
by running up several large tin ad
vertising signs on the ropes. Wc
are exceedingly sorry to know that
‘here is a human being in our cit.v
wlio is so lost to patriotism as to
be willing to treat so lightly the
sacred relic of liberty under which
our fathers pledged their lives for
the country’s cause. These thought
less young men could not have dealt
a more grievous blow to the pride
and love of our people than to des
ecrate the old liberty pole which is
so dear to their heart 3.
