Maconites Were Given a
Cordial Reception
THEIR DRUM CORPS AND QUAR
TETTES FURNISHED INSPIRING
MUSIC AT THE FEAST PRE
PARED BY COMMITTEE.
(From Thursday'! Dally.)
The Macon booster train readied
Valdosta la>it night about a quarter
to seven o’clock and a few minutes
later the streets were echoing and
re-echoing with the blasts of their
trumpets, the rattle of th© kettle
drum, the roar of the bass drums
and the songe of the quartettes
The crowd was met at the dap.»t
by a number of Valdostana and was
escorted through the. business ae<
tion of the city. The parade was
au imposing on e and passed up Pat
terson street to Central avenue and
then back toward Ashley street,
then to Hill avenue and up Hill av
enue to the Elks’ Club rooms, where
a halt was made.
The drum corps entertained the
large crowd that assembled with
some maitlal selections, while the
quartette went up out the veranda
of the Elks’Club and sang several
booster songs, concluding. with the
booster yell.
The crowd was invited up into
the Elks’ parlors, where a feast had
been prepared for them. The vis
itors were not expecting anything of
that kind, most of them having had
supper on the train a few minutes
before. The supper In the Elks’
rcoms was one of the nicest tha:
has ever been gotten up there. Mr.
Cam Young was in charge of the
arrangements and he was assisted
by four or, five waiters from the
Valdes hotel, who did their work
in the best of style.
The supper consisted of ham
sandwiches, tomato sandwiches,
Swiss cheese sandwiches, tuna sal
ad, olives, pickles and blue ribbon.
Preparations were made for about
200 people.
Quite a number of Valdostana
were present and mingled with the
visitors, showing them every pos
sible courtesy. Mr. J. B. Cope
land delivered an address of wel
come In behalf of the city of Val
dosta and his speech wa« ono of
the best the gifted young orator has
ever made. The visitors were car
ried away by the cordial greeting
which he extended.
A response was made by Mr.
Dunwody and Mr. Dickerson, oi
Macon, both of whom were enthu
elastic in their acknowledgments of
the courtesy which was shown
them.
The booster quartettes sang
number of songs and the drum
corps played several pieces and the
occasion was one of enthusiasm from
beginning to end.
The Macon visitors expressed
themselves as delighted with the
arrangements*which had been made
for them and their only regret was
that all of them had been to sup
per before leaching Valdosta. For
that reason they could not do Jus
tice to tho feast which had been
prepared for them.
The boosters remained at
Elks’ Cluo rooms for about two
hours, after which they went to
their cars to enjoy a night’s rest.
The Maconites were th e most gen-,
tlemanly set that have visited Val-
dosta. There were no rowdies In
the crowd and they were out on a
business trip, rather than a frolic.
They made a good Impression upon
the Valdosta people who mingied
with them and their coming to this
city was a pleasant incident t 0 both
.cities.
The Maconites were singing the
praises of the coming State Fair
and they declare that it Is going to
be the biggest thing that Macon has
ever pulled off. They gave all of
tno Valdostans a cordial Invitation
to be on hand and it is safe to say
that their invitation is going to be
accepted.
Mr. C. B. Rhodes, th e general
rasaenger agent of the Georga
Southern and Florida read, was In
charge of the train and was one of
the leading boosters. Botn of the
Macon papers had a representative
here, while nearly all of the lead
ing booses of Macon were repre
sented by one of their leading men.
FOUND A CASE OF SHOES.
Thirty-Six Pairs of Women Shoes
Found in an Old Lot Here.
A full case of ahoee—thirty-dx
pairs In all—were found last night
In the weeds in an old lot between
Briggs street and Fender’s mill, on
Florida avenue.
They were found by Mrs. George
Gore, who lives near there. Shte re
ported the matter to the police offi
cers and they had the case of shoes
carried to the city hall. -The case
was marked “J. D. Wilson, Quitman,
Ga.” and it Is very evident that the
shoes were stolen from him or from
a railroad train.
The cover Of the case had been
torn off, but had been laid back
without being nailed down. The
tends of the toox of shoes w-ere wet,
but otherwise the shoes were In good
condition.
It Is said that there was a (big
robbery in Quitman a few nights ago
and It Is probable that this case of
shoes was stolen at that time. Just
how came It in Valdosta and who
put It in that vacant lot Is not known.
The case of shoes Is bteing held at
the city hall until it Is claimed by
the owner.
The Mystery was Cleared Today.
Since the above was put In typ«
Conductor George Graham and Train
man Prescott, of the Georgia South
ern and Florida railroad, went to the
city hall and Identified the shoes as
having beer from car on that
road at the same time a revolver was
stolen.
A negro known as Sonny Boy was
arrerfted two or three days ago on
the pistol charge and he is now in
Jail. The officers are confident that
he stole the shoes at the same time
and hid them. In the weeds where
they were found. Being in jail, the
shoes remained there until somebody
else found them.
The shoes were In transit to Quit*
man.
