Sunbeams’ Program.
Last Sunday at 11 o’clock services
at the Baptist church were turned
over to the Sunbeam band. The
program, which consisted of about
fourteen members, was well render
ed, and enthusiastically received.
The tiny tots always do their part
beautifully, but especial mention
should be made of the chorus sung
in the Chinese language and the
mite-box drill by the larger boys
and girls. On this occasion the mite
boxes were opened, and the offering
amounted to $lO. About forty chil
dren took part in this program,
which was so splendidly trained by-
Mrs. Julia Foster. Mrs. E L Tanner
played the piano for the entire ser
vice.
Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Hodges and

A Happy Vacation
On next Friday afternoon nine
weary teachers and nearly four hun
dred happy children will welcome
vacation with real enthusiasm. The
first six grades complete their year’s
work this week. The delightfully
cool weather, which has prevailed
this spring, has helped both teach
ers and pupils to hold pii to the end
with unusual energy and zeal, but at
the mention of the word vacation,
the sleepiest little countenance at
once becomes animated, the listless
one becomes very attentive, and all
are ready to sing from the heart:
Vacation’s here with all the jo>^
That boys can e’er be wishing.
With all the world to play them in.
And we will rest while fishing.
Vacations here and we will have
Some time to dress our dollies.
Time to sew and wash for them
And play "Go to Aunt Polly's'*

night for Haralson and Covington,
respectively; Miss Mae Williamson

Delightfully Entertained
One of the most delightful social
affairs of the season was a miscel
laneous shower given to Miss Nola
Johnson by Miss Mae Williamson on
Monday afternoon at the home of
Mrs. S. M. Roberts. It was an al
fresco affair, and clouds gathered
over the lawn in the form of dainty
little work bags where the articles
for Miss Johnson were hidden. Just
as everyone was busiest with her
sewing, little Miss Mary Roberts
crept up behind Miss Johnson and
poured a basket full of packages on
her while others were hurled at her
from all directions.until like Chicken
Little, she thought the sky had
fallen. She was the happy recipient
of a great many very beautiful
and very useful gifts to add to her
trousseau.
Delicious refreshments were
served. Those present were Mes
dames Wilson, Dale McEachern,
Hodges, Johnson, Woodard and Ap
pleby; Misses Hamerick, Turner,
Foster, Quillian, Little, Gaffney,

CANDY DEMONSTRA
TION WAS SUCCESS
The demonstration in the four
kinds of candy at the rest room last
Saturday was a success.
Divinity was made by Miss Lo> ie
Turner.
Peanut brittle was made by Mrs.
S. M. Roberts.
Mrs. Margaret Jordon made the
chocolate fudge, and Miss Nola
Johnson made the peanut cream
candy.
Two oil stoves were used and the

After the candy was finished and
passed around for everybody to
sample, each demonstrator gave her
recipe.
THE POST IS DOWN
Walk along Ward street in front
of Sapp’s Pharmacy and you will be
quick to note that one of the posts
that helped hold up that “Invalua
ble” sidewalk awning is down. It
has followed the fate of its prede
cessors and was a conqwratively
young piece of timber. Its brothers
still on duty are in a very shaky con
dition.
How did this post come to be
down? Simply this: It was cut
down, as many others have been, by

the loafer with the pocket knife
doubtless each one in taking his
turn had a piece of tobacco in his
mouth and was literally chewing,
spitting and whittling away per
haps each destroyer was dreaming
sweet distant dreams or maybe tell
ing some other of the latest gossip
or scandal.
The fallen post and its brothers
have heard much of this idle talk.
Should they be permitted to tell
every thing they have heard, many i
idlers and some who are not idlers
would be leaving town in a few
hours. This post that has bitten the
dust probably knows a bit more than
the others it was a little better lo
cated for commanding views of dif
ferent streets, affording m< re to
see and talk about, and more “lean
ers” doubtless have passed as living
statues at this spot than any other
one place in the city.
There are several things in Doug
las that encourage loafing and cne
of them is the sidewalk awning.
Remove the awnings and the ab
sence of so many street loafers will
tie easv to see. Why as it is, own
ers find it practically impossible to
keep wooden posts on the sidewal .s,
while the only reason iron posts re-

However, the latter are worn slick
from the touch of many a hand.
The appearance of the business
section of Douglas would be im
proved fifty per cent with the re
maining awnings down.
Douglas is now too much of a city
to tolerate the old fashioned “shed’'
