COMES ON TIME The Maconites spent the night In this city and left tala morning over the Oeorgla and Florida roal Jor points between here and Haxle- hurst. They stop at Nashville and Douglas and will then be drawn I y an engine over the Southern road to Hacon, giving them an opporunity to stop at all ol the towns between Hazleiurat and the Central City They expect to reach Macon about 9 o'clock tonight. 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. Stockton Baseball Team.
