AIRSHIPS TO LAND IN BLAKELY.
Fair Grounds Being Put in Readiness
for Their Coming.
Blakely will soon be receiving reg
ular calls from Uncle Sam’s air ships.
Acting in conjunction with the Fair
Association officials, the city author
ities are putting the large area in
the center of the race track in good
condition for a landing site for the
planes.
Lt. Col. Ira A. Roder writes that
as soon the grass is mowed off
and the field is marked with a large
white circle with the letter “B” in
its center, he will send a ship to
Blakely to inspect the field and pass
judgment on it.
Secretary Dußose is making a
faithful effort to comply with every
suggestion from the aeroplane de
partment so as to insure the regular
ity of their visits to our city.
It is believed that an aerial mail
service will be established in the near
future and if such be the case, Blake
ly would thus become one of the
regular mail Stations.
Our people await with interest the
coming of the airships.

BUSHMAN AND BAYNE AT
THE COZY THEATRE FRIDAY.
Francis X. Bushman and Beverly
Bayne, two of the cleverest and most
popular of screen stars, will be seen
Friday at the Cozy theiitre in the
delightful Metro romantic drama,
“The Poor Rich Man.”
A witty and delightful plot is de
veloped in this play where the
breezy western heroine, Arizonh by
name, played by Miss Bayne, comes
to New York and is rescued from a
most unpleasant experience by Van
tyne. Carter, the son of a multi-mil
lionaire. Os course a romance de
velops which, however, is surrounded
by so many obstacles that it seems
the ultimate happiness of the young
couple is far from secure. Added to
their troubles is the fact that a fluffy
and blonde vampire has an eye for
the Carter fortune. However, fate
takes a hand and the tangle is un
raveled to the satisfaction of all
parties—except the vampire and the
villain.
The many adventures and exciting
happenings which go to make the
plot are cleverly and delightfully de
picted by these two noted stars and
they are admirably supported by a
cast of sterling players.
A funny comedy, too.

BOY LOSES LIFE OUT
AT HARDWOOD MILL.
A tragic death occurred in the city
at 3:30 o’clock Sunday morning. J.
T. Lovett, a 17-year-old white boy
employed at the Blakely Hardwood
Lumber Company’s mill three miles
east of Blakely, got caught in one
of the rapidly revolving belts just
before noon Saturday. One of his
arms was torn off and his skull was
fractured so badly that his case was
hopeless from the beginning. The
physicians did all they could to al
leviate his sufferings.
The News has been told that the
boy regained consciousness during
the night and told Mr. Jesse Smith
that he was sick and was attacked
by vertigo, which caused him to
fall into the belt. The belt broke
else his body might have been worse
broken up.
The deceased was a son of Mr. R.
T. Lovett, of Crosby, Ala., who came
over Sunday and took charge of the
body and carried it to that place for
interment.
