Newspaper Page TextRehearsal for “Ben .+ Hill County Fair” The participants in the amateur play, ‘‘Ben Hill County Fair,” are busy as bees prepairing their parts for next Friday night.. All the parts are progressing beyond the fondest hopes of those having it in charge. Allof Fitzgerald’s best talent has been secured for the specialties will be of unusual merit for an ameteur perform ance. At last night’s rehearsal Mr. Clark, in the character of Mr. Brown, the hen-pecked man, ac ted out his part like a real stage actor, and Mrs. McCarty as Mrs. Brown, did her pecking to per fection. The old parson, Briggsi Characterized, by Mr. Teal, will surely be one of the great hits of the evening. The parson hears a party of town boys discussing the different races, and as they are about to make a break for the betting ring, the old parson steps up and, with with his deep sep ulchral voice, preaches a genuine sermon on the wickednessand gambling and betting. Those who have seen the re hearals agree that Mr. Teal can deliver the sermon alright. Did anyone ever see anything so silly and foolish as a country bride and groom going to a coun ty fair on their wedding ‘‘tour?”’ We will tell who the bride and groom in this particular fair are, but we want you to come and see —they are a sight. Their cos tumes are the real thing and they eat more peanuts and drink more lemonade than you would expect of a dozen persons, but as the groom says, ‘‘We ain’t ever cal cilatin’ to go on another weddin’ tour, so I might as well spend a whole two days’ wageson you.”’ Widow Smethers, whose fourth husband has just died, has not yet entirely committed her part, but she reads it with great ahil ity and will have her speeches about her four dead partners down pat before Friday night. If you’r at the Opera House Friday night you will see that she is really a most captivating widow, because in a very short space of time she lands her fifth husband, Widower Jones, who has four small children. Whois the widower? Come and see— You'll be surprised. He is a good one alright; and you’ll be mighty pleased to know that he has found such a tactful help mate. The ahove deseribed dialogue are only a very few of the many} funny and interesting characters! to be seen at the musical comedy, “Ben Hill County Fair,”” and in deed the dialogue parts are only a small part of the entertainment. The songs, choruses and acting are fine features, and the local stars are getting their singing and fancy cteps like sure enough professionals. Nashville’s Loss Is Atlanta’s Gain Atlanta, Nov,—Georgia is re joicing today in some 700 new citizens, men, women and childrep, including several pretty babies who may be future presidents of the United States, as the result of the fact that the Cumberland Tele phone company has moved its headquarters from Nashville to Atlanta. The entire cffice force of the Cumberland company has been removed to this city. The change was brought about through the reorganization of the American Bell Telephone com pany’s interests in the south, by which the Cumberland company is ‘merged with the Southern Bell, both beirg subsidiaries of the American Bell company. The Cumberland has territory stretching as far south as New Orleans and as far north as Indiana and Illinois. All this business will now be handled from ¢he Atlanta headquarters.

H. Stephens, is assured. Resoiutions reiative to establishing this school through the United Daughters of toe Con federacy were prepared by Judge H. M. Holden, formerly of Craw fordville, and the subject presented at Cartersville by Mrs, Holden two years ago, but cwing to sc much educational work then being done by the Daughters, the con vention felt it should net under take this important work at that time. ; On the fourth of July, 1912, the centannary birthdav of Mr. Stepl ens was celebrated at Crawford ville, and a decided movemen! toward the school started. Judge J. H. Lumpkin, of the Georgia Supreme Court, who delivered the wddress on this occasion, voluntari ly subscribed $l,OOO toward the school to be established as a living wnd lasting monument to Mr. stephens. Hon. T. E. Watson also subscribed $l,OOO and tenderec as much space in his papers as the Alex. Stephens chapter wished to advertise the book, “Life in Dixie” vhe copyrignt of which was donat ed by Miss Mary A. H. Gay, of Decatur, the author of the book, 1o the Alex. Stephens Chapter, for the benefit of the school, ~Citizens of Taliaferro county pledged $lO,- 200 to the school. Judge Holden was requested by vhe Alex. Stephens Chapter to again present this subject to the state convention of the U, D. C, which met in Athens, Qctober 29th 10 November Ist. The idea as pre sented by Judge Holden was most favorably received and met with hearty responses from the conven sion, and with much applauses a mction was made and carried that 1 committee be appointed by the president, Mrs, W. D, Lamar, to ronsider and devise the best plar 0 establish Stephens University. Mrs. Lamar was instructed to take the matter before the general convention which meets at Rich mond in a few days, This memorial school, to educate poor boys, would be a school after Mr. Stephens’ own heart and would be a.limng monument to the vice president of the Confederacy. While Georgia is late in thus honoring Mr, Stepbens, this me morial schoo! means much to her as well as to the entire South, fer vir, Stephens belenged to the whole South. It is believed the South will respond to this noble cause and be glad of the privilege to assist in this important work. 'Posums Plentyful In North Georgia Atlanta, Nov. 4.—An unprece dented prevalence of 'possums in the wouds and creek bottoms neighboring Atlanta is giving the local nimrods ample solace for their regret that the bird hunting season does not open until week after next. Not within the memory of the oldest inhabitant have ’possums been sa numerous or so easy to catch. The woods are full of them. Soare the crates piled up in front of restaurants, which jusually contains chickens. A big fat specimen brings 65c¢c to 75¢ )this year, where it would have brought nearly a dollar last year. l Dave Williams, superior court librarian, and one of Atlanta’s mighty ’possum hunters B. C., ‘went out night before last with one old lop-eared hound that he borrowed from a friend at Buck head, and came at 4a. m. with six ’possums in a sack. Inman Gray, a venturesome at the chase, has been almost as for tunate, scouring the woods by moonlight around the neighbor hood of his country home, and seldom failing to bring back sev eral trophies. His dogs have treed two big raccoons recently, but in both cases the ’coons man aged to make good their escape by jumping from tree to tree and getting into the heavy timber. THE TEADER-ENTERPRISE, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1912 - Services will be held in the new building of the First Baptist Church for the first time Sunday, to which all are cordially invited. A special program is arranged for the Sunday School, : Preaching services at 11 o’clock. Instrumental voluntary. Voluntary by choir. Doxology. : Hymn, “Ho'y, Holy, Holy.”’ Seripturel reading and prayer. Offeitory. Hymn, *““‘All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name.” : Good Land Meansa Low Costof Production A hog grower, at a recent meet ing of the Texas Swine Breeders’ Association, is reported to have stated that pork was being pro duced in Texas at a ‘‘cost of from two to 20 cents per pound.” Corn is also produced at from 15 to 50 cents a bushel and cotton from 7 to 17 cents a pound. Why these differences? The unsuccessful producer will say that his more success{ul compet itor has better land, more capital, got better rainfall, or had better !lu:k; but the ditference is in the land. We are accustomed to hear that poor land means poor farm ers, but it is equally true and more encouraging to remember that good farmers mean good land. Better seeds, better climatic or weather conditions, better fertil ization and more capital, all play an important part, but behind all and infinitely more importance in ‘determing the cost and produc tion is the yieiding power of the acre, and behind this is the man —the better farmer. The margin of differences in the cost of cultivating and har vesting an acre cropis rather nar row.- It costs really more to break and cultivate an acre well than than to do it in the usual manner, and good seed and good fertiliza tion also cost more, but the great differences in the cost of produc ing the crops stated are almost entirely due to differences in yield. Our production per acre 18 too small. The problem which must first be solved, before the South can be prosperous is larger yields per acre. Let us keep eternally hammering at this point so that no one can lose sight of of it, for in a full realization of, it is our only hope of salvation, agriculturally.- Tait Butler in The Progressive Farmer.
