BA1NBRIDGE, GA., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1922. $1.50 PER ANNUM LASS EXERCISES AT THE HIGH SCHOOL Y 6TH AND 7TH GRADES UNDER THE TRAINING OF MRS. MITCHELL. TEACHER. Columbia’s birthday was given by upplumuntary grades 6th and 7th in hiph school auditorium Wednesday corning under training of Mrs. Mi tc hell, teacher. Anna Grace Baggs, siilent of class, opened the exer cises by reading 10th Psalm and con- ] uc teil them through out with unusual poi se. Reading—The Spacious Firma ment; song, “The Rain Harp.” Anna •nee Baggs in costume, impersonated Columbia and Ellington Parker, Uncle gam. Boy Scouts saluted Columbia \ul Colonies. Impressive and well presented it was a fine program. Anna . Baggs beautifully took the part of Columbia for her classic tpye ma te the part. Ellington Parker, in Uncle full dress costume was great, was graceful, at ease and used his handkerchief after the introduc- of all the colonies to Miss Colum bia—as naturally as the grown ups. carried well and wore his high hat as if he didn't know he had it about him. The pupils of the Bain- bridge high schools have a very rc- arkable way of doing things, it must be a fine mixture of teacher and pupil. There was only one stage rehearsal of the playlet and parts were all plendidly carried out. Another thing o be observed is the vocal training hat these children are getting. No lasal twangs and shrjll notes irritate tired nerves, there is melody in the voices and a marked improvement is felt at each hearing. Mrs. Fleming, •sponsible for this and deserves honorable mention right along with Mrs. Mitchell and all the other teaeh- for all the good work. It is a pity these programs are not handed advance they might be published that more would know about them in time to arrange to be present for they certainly are a pleasure to hear and then there is always something learned. Frank Johnson Found Dead On The Callahan Frank Johnson, colored, was found dead on the Caiianan—one of the boats on the Flint river Monday morn ing. Johnson was subject to epileptic fits and he had learned that by the slight use of chloroform on absorbent cotton applied to the nostrils would prevent an oncoming fit. It was cold Monday and the supposition is that when he lay down close to the boiler he fell asleep before he removed the cotton that he had used as on many similar occasions. A good negro and an employee on the boat for a number of years. His death is regretted. A SURPRISE GIFT FOR GIRL SCOUTS GIVEN BY r>. T. SUTHERLAND TO MARK THEIR TREE WITH IN WILLIS PARK.
