The Old Homestead.
The Boy.
At the opera house this city
tonight, wil be presented the “Old
Hoaiestead,” by the Florida State
College Dramatic Co., an aggrega
tion of Tallahassee local talent,
which has very successfully put on
the play in that city. Concerning
the production, the Weekly Talta-
hisseean has this to say:
“The Old Homestead, the Flor
ida State College play, which has
caused so much excitement in a
number of Tallahassee homes for
the past two months; was given
before a large audience in Munro’s
opera house last Friday night.
The entire cast was made up from
the play was pronounced by all a
complete success Unfortunately
at the last minute Mr. Frank B.
Wintbrop, who took the part of
Henry Hopkins, was taken very ill,
but the company was fortunate in
having Mr. B. A. Meginniss to
take his part.
“Miss Susie Mims as Aunt Ma
tilda Whitcomb and i\Jiss Clara
Bowen as Rickety Ann, both took
their parts splendidly and won the
applause of the audience repeatedly
Ben Meginniss as Cy Prime and
G. H. Skermer as Jtifchua Whit
comb, both acted the part of the
old countryman to perfection. Mr.
Peters as Happy Jack, led a num
ber of the people to believe that a
tramp had been turned loose on
the stage, and Uz, Pemberton as
Eb Gauzey, made an excellent fool.
The different tableaux were good
and lifelike, with the exception of
the barroom scene at the end of
the first act. Misses Henrietta,
Ames, Lucile Saxon and Bertie
Meginniss also won the admiration
of the audience.
“A representative of the Florida
State College Dramatic Associa
tion will be sent to Bainbridge to
arrange for a reproduction of the
Old Homestead in that city. As
the people of Bainbridge are dis
criminating critics there is little
doubt but that the play will
achieve success there.”
It will be remembered that some
time ago when the opera "Zanie”
w;ft presented by a Bainbridge
troupe to a Tallahassee audience,
they >*ere greeted by a large ats
tendance, and we hope that the
company from Tallahassee will be
heartily patronized. We shall
give an account of their perform
ance in our next issue.
Grounds Not Changed.
Some weeks ago,.when we had
something to say on this subject,
an effort was on foot to secure a
park from Mr. L u O. Jackson
which would be more favorable
and convenient to the lovers of
baseball in Bainbridge." However
the^promoters and Mr. Jackson
failed to reach terms and in conse
quence, the fans will again assem
ble on the fair grounds where
former games have been played.
Several challenges have been
received, but as seme of the lead
ing players on the team have not
returned from college, it is not
known that the challenges will be
taken up at once. Considerable
improvements are being made on
the ball park and all things will be
held in readiness for the opening
of the season.

1 wouldn’t be a single thing on earth
.Except a boy;
And yet it’s just an accident of birth
That I’m a boy;
And, goodnes gracious! When I stop
and tbi.ik.
That I once tumbled on the very brink
Of making my appearance here a girl
It fairly makes my ears and eyebrows
curl—
Hut I’m a boy.
Do you
want good
Just think of all the jolly fun there ia
When you’re a boy,
I teil you, you’re just full of business
When you’re a boy!
There's tires to build ia all the vacant,
lots.
Go swimmiu’, tie the fellers’ clothes in
knots.
Tie tin cans on the tails of dogs—fthy,
gee!
The days ain't half as long as they
should be'
When you’re a boy!
There's lots of foolish things that make
you tired
When you’re a boy!
There's heaps of grouchy men that
can’t be hired
so like a boy!
There's wood to chop at home and coal
to bring
And “here, do this—do that—the other
thing!”
And, worse than all, there's girls—O,
holly smoke!
Are they a crime, or are they just a joke
Upon a boy!
And then, there’s always somebody to
j»Wi
When you’re a boy!
Somebody always laying down the law
To every boy!
“Pick up your ^oat, see where youv’e
put your bat,
Don’t stone the dog; don’t tease the
poor old cat,
Don't race around the house”—why.
sufferin' Moses!
The only time you have to practice
things like those is
When you’re a boy! .
And yet I don’t believe I’d change a
thing
For any boy;
You’ve got to laugh, to cry, to work, to
sing,
1 o be a boy;
With all his thoughtless noise and care
less play,
With all his heartfelt trials day by day,
With all his boyish hopes and all his
fdarg.
I'd like to live on earth a thousand years
And be a boy.

biography of a Youth.
One year ago there was born in
the city of Bainbridge, a child—of
whom, some said it is a weakling,
it can never learn to stand alone,
much less grow to be a power in
this mbdern aggressive world!
Another said, “but look at the
glow in its eye; only nourish the
body and the spirit will expand so
large that fev^ can stand in oppo
sition to it—a soul like this, when
given but a feeble body to lodge
in, becomes mighty and irresisti
ble!”
And all who would pause to look,
saw the soul leap up with joy be
hind that eye, and they knew that
it would live. The child has lived
and has grown and its name is
“Bainbridge Library.” Its spirit,
the spirit of deep and progressive
culture—looks forth with ever
brightening glances. Bainbridge
has clad it well, it shows itself in
a coat of many colors, the bind-
ing_of 521 interesting books. And
May it like Jacob of old become
our cherished child and grow to he
a prince of power that shall win
a way to other lands and be an in
strument for saving intellectual
millions.
Never before has such a prince
ly prince lived with us so long,
but we know that he will soon be
an honored guest in every home in
our midst and every eye will light
the brighter for his presence.
We trust that the citizens 0/the
town justly appreciate the efforts
of those who are at the head of
this library of ours. May it con
tinue to grow and • rosper for the
great advancement .utellectually
of Bainbridge.
