ater tomorrow night. The entire club
has been training since before Christ
mas, and with nearly all of the old
men back this year, together with
the splendid showing that the new ma
terial is making, the performance this
year should be among the best ever
given by the club.
The quartet is composed of Coker,
Conyers, Holmes and Campbell. The
harmony of their music is known to
all, especially to those who live along
Milledge avenue, where their melody
abounds on Sunday nights. The spe
cial feature of the quartet is a yodel
by Mr. Holmes, who is quite as gifted
in this line as many who travel with
the best minstrels of the country.
The mandolin quartet is composed
of Messrs. Branson, Benson, Bond and
Orm. Their music is equally as good
as that of the Glee Club, and the spe
cial selections to be given by Messrs.
Branson and Hodgson will show their
great ability.

BEFORE MEETING
OF CITY COWL
The city council had a large quantity
of important business to transact at
its meeting, last night. All the mem

sided while the city marshal and the
city engineer also conferred with
them. The heads of the different
committees reported on the special
business assigned to them.
The matter of a new fire engine for
the up-town station was brought up
and fully discussed. It was shown
that this would probably avert the ne
cessity of putting up a fire station, in
the Milledge extension section and
that the upkeep on the trucks them
selves cheaper than that on the horse-
drawn apparatus. A resolution was
passed instructing the fire committee
to investigate the cost of a new truck

the “army of the unemployed” today
felt some of the real hardships of

Deputies, heavily armed, guarded

tion of Exhibition Expected.
Solid satisfaction can be taken in
lthe progress of this city in 'the last
decade. Both our old and our new cit-
I izens have reason to be proud of her
i in many ways. She is in the forefront
j of cities of her class in matters of ma
terial progress and comfort. She is
'most happily and healthily located.
! With half an eye to beauty and clean-
i liness, with board fences and unsight
ly sheds eliminated well-cared for
trees unspoiled by devastating public-
service lineman, Athens could be a
dream of loveliness, envied by many
a more populous place.
Not by material progress and com
fort alone, Mr. Subscriber, do cities
come to the forefront; nor, Mr. Read
er, do clean and trim places, inviting
lawns and shady trees satisfy the
love of beauty and all the leisure
hours.
Mr. Citizen, libraries, galleries of
fine art, good music of the various
sorts, opportunity to see good drama
interpreted by actors second to none,
these make a city known and respect
ed over and above her rivals- The
hardest headed cities in this country
have realized this Tor years. New
York is richer by millions annually by
reason of her galleries, libraries, con
certs, operas and plays. Chicago,
scorned in the past for “making cul
ture hum” now laughs at those who
rsme to jeer and hurried to imitate.
Her citizen* in thu* boosting their
home town, boosted better than they
know, and now live intelligent, richer
and happier lives because of these
things in themselves.
Chains of towns through the north
and west no larger than our own enjoy
the best concerts, are Tegular stop
ping places for traveling exhibits of
art, see plays that are plays by metro
politan casts and have their public li
braries. How? By hustling for them
in the first place. These things were
subject of thought and energy in their
boards of trade and should be here.
Each town enjoying such advantages
draws largely on its surrounding coun
try. This means business, this means
other mutual advantages in having
neighbors of such a class come among
us the oftener because of good plays
to be seen, good music and pictures to
be enjoyed, good libraries at their dis
posal.
So, Mr. Citizen, Mr. Secretary, and
Members of the Chamber of Com
merce, you can enhance the welfare
of your city in a still wider sense by
an acitve support of the matters set
forth here. And unless you are dif
ferent from the vast mass of your
fellow Americans, you will be sur
prised at how small was the effort,
how great the profit and enjoyment
in the end.
In a few days a traveling exhibit of
paintings will be shown Fn Athens
such as other cities enjoy, brought
here for you, not your neighbor, by
people who have confidence in Athens.
It has cost $150 to get it here. For
days you have seen notices of it in
the paper. Unless expenses are met
it must be the last. Support it and
the next will be a better one. Would
you like a gallery of good paintings
growing with the growth of your
and also to see what the present horse
drawn apparatus would sell for.
The limit of bond that could be re
quired was changed from $100 to.$200,
as for some offenses
fine is imposed on the defendant, such
fine being $200. For example this fine
has been recently imposed in many
blind tiger” cases, where the bond
required was only $100. The power of
fixing bond in smaller causes, was ex
tended to the chief and captains of the
police force, so that now these men
can determine -the amount of bond to
be required of offenders, as well as
the mayor and recorder.
The agreement previously reached
between the. Georgia railroad and the
city, allowing the former to lay a new
track across broad itrttibnni made
legal last night by the passing of a
special ordinance.
It was reported by the sewer com
mittee that the work of laying the
sewers in the Scott property was be
gun yesterday.
In regard to the investigation by
the fire committee of the difficulty oc-
curing recently between Chief McDor-
man and fireman Carithers, the chair
man read the resolution of the com
mittee that In* order to keep the de
partment at peace, that they would
ask for the resignation of Mr. Ca
rithers.
Some other important matters of in
terest that came up for consideration
was that of the city paving. It was
also decided that the paving in front
the Webb Crawford Company
should be repaired and that-the brick
paving of the city should be kept in
good condition by replacing worn brick
with new one*.
The committees were found to be in
good condition financially and the city
auditor was instructed to prepare i
published account of the moneys ex
pended for the last two months.
The New York Grand Opera com
pany arfived today* from Augusta,
where “Faust” was presented last
night. Today’s Augusta Chronicle
says of the performance:
“The familiar opera of ‘Faust’ was
sung last night at the Grand by the
New York Opera company, and con-
■idering the fact that it was grand
opera, that it is Lent, when many deny
themselves the pleasure of the theater,
and also that it was unusually cold for
this season of the year and many had
heard that the heating apparatus at
the Grand was known to be out of or
der, it is quite remarkable that there
were as many present as there were
in the audience.
“Miss Marguerite Hobert made a
vary attractive Marguerite, and it was
certainly refreshing and delightful to
seff'-a Marguerite 'that
youth and comeliness, for the majority
of Marguerites that one sees
neither youthful not beautiful, and it
takes a vivid imagination and closed
eyes to understand the fervid love-
making of Faust. But Miss Hobert
was attractive and also possesses
fine soprano voice which was display
ed to especial advantage In the jewel
song and in the closing wonderful trio.
Faust was sung by Signor Giordano,
who possesses a munificent stage
presence and a very pleasing tenor
voice. Richard Parks had a splendid
bass and made an effective Mephlsto-
pheles. Madame Romero’s fine con
tralto was heard to advantage as Sei-
bel. But the best voice in th(^ com
pany was Romero Malpica as Valen
tine. He had a delightful baritone
and sang magnificently.”

Professor Herbert D. Hemenway,
staff lecturer on civic improvement
of the National Society for Broader
Education, will lecture on Wednesday
evening at 8:15 o'clock in the city hall
on “IIow to Beautify Home Grounds.”
Prof. Hemenway is head of the De
partment of Civic Improvement of the
National Society for Broader Educa
tion and has devoted his entire life
to the preparation for such a position.
His life may well be said to have been
consecrated to the work of spreading
the gospel of beauty and efficiency,
for again and again he has refused
offers of large salaries attached to po
sitions that would have led him from
the educational side of civic improve
ment.
He was selected in 1910-11 by the
states of Kansas and Texas to tour in
the interests of civic improvement and
was most successful in arousing per
manent interest. Because of thlh work
calls came from over the country for
Mr. Hcmenway’s services, and during
1912 he gave to public work all the
time he could spare from his import
ant duties at tht Peoples' Institute.
