Thursday, October 29, 1925
Officers in Georgia do not oelieve
in giving up a good thing. Last
spring they failed to oust a State
house officer and now the sheriff of
Jones county absolutely refuses to
come down after he has been tried
and found guilty, in the United States
court, of conspiracy to violate the
prohibition law.
People may not appreciate the
judgement of these men but they can
not help but admire their determi
nat’or to stay with a thing.
ON TO CUBA THROUGH
EAST AND WEST COAST
OF FLORIDA, NOV, 22.
Announcement is made through Mr.
J. E. Kenworthy, General Passenger
Agent of the Georgia and Florida Rail
way that all arrangements have been
completed for his second annual pei -
sonally conducted tour through Flori
da and Cuba, leaving Augusta on the
Bon-Air Special at 8:10 P. M. Novem
ber 22nd and returning December 4th.
This tour will be open for any one
wishing to join it, and the party may
be joined at any point between Au
gusta and Jacksonville.
The touring party will be in Ha
vana Cuba for the opening of the
worlds greatest horse races on Thanks
giving, and the entire party will have
for the races. The tour will consume
grandstand seats in Oriental Park
12 days, and every day will be de
voted to sightseeing, sports and
special entertainments that will be
provided in each city to be visited,
Spanish dancers, theatre parties,
cabaret parties will keep the party
happy all the time.
The tour is to be a care free jour
ney with a congenial party made up
of approximately 150 ladies and gen
tlemen form Georgia, South Carolina
and Virginia. All details have been
carefully worked out and the mem
bers of the party will now have to ask
any questions as to what hotels to use,
where to eat, what to see and how to
get there, all of this will be person-
ally attended to by Mr. Kenworthy,
and when one joins the party and
pays the initial cost of the trip which
is $215.00 that will ho all there is
to pay, because that amount includes
everything, railroad fare, pullmen
fare, tips, hotels, meals, sightseeing,
horse races, theatre parties, cabarets,
transfer of baggage etc., in fact every
thing and it will not be necessary for
one to spend any additional money,
unless, of course, they wish someth
ing strictly personal, which will
more than likely take place in Cuba.
On this wonderful tour, you will
visit Jacksonville, Pablo Beach, St.
Augustine, Daytona, West Palm
Beach, Hollywood, Miami, Coral Gab
les, Keywest, Tampa, St. Petersburg,
Deland, Okecbobee, Lakeland, Sa
bring, Lake Alfred, Orlando, Kissim
mee, and in Cuba for three days and
four nights sightseeing over the en
tire island. In each city that we visit
special entertainments will be pro
vided, in addition to that you will be
escorted through each city and all
points of interest thoroughly explain
ed by a competent guide, consequent
ly giving one an opportunity of see
ing and learning something worth
while about each city.
If you have never been to Cuba
or through the Ea t and West Coast
of Florida, you should by all means
join this party, because by going with
this party you are assured that you
will see a great deal more than you
could possibly see by going alone or
with a small party.
Any one interested in really seeing
Florida and Cuba with out trouble,
worry or a care, should communi
cate at once with Mr. J. E. Kenwor
thy, General Passenger Agent of the
Georgia and Florida Railway at Au
gusta, Ga., and forward to him $5.00
deposit with request that he make
reservations on this wonderful trip.
Indications are that when the trail
leaves Augusta on the night of No
vember 22nd, there will be 150 high
toned ladies and gentlemen aboard.
Time is getting short, and ail parties
interested are requested to act quick
ly and make their reservations.
SHEPHERD COMMUNITY
STANDS UNITED
(By 0. D.)
Shepherd church is located about
one mile north of Huffer and seven
miles northeast of Douglas.
There are not enough people in the
community of any one denomination
to have a large Sunday School, there
fore, the Methodists-, Baptists, the
people of other denominations and a
few of those who belong to no denom
ination, together with those of other
denominations join at the church in
i union Sunday School each Sunday.
A piano was needed for the church
services, and for the Sunday School.
Some time ago the people made a
united drive and now a piano stands
in the building and every cent has
been paid for it.
The building needed repairing. It
was decided to sell refreshments and
give a program. In accordance with
the decision the following program
was rendered Saturday night:
Song—All Hail the Power of Je
sus’ Name, by the choir.
Prayer—Rev. S. G. Taylor.
Motion song: “When I was a Ba
by,”—Alice Bryant, Beatrice Sweat,
Gladys Peacock, Mary Bryant, Gladys
Peacock.
Reading—Lola Mae Sweat.
Music—By the Band.
Reading: Boys Remarks to his Stom
ech —Tidwell Smith.
Reading—“Unawares”—Ocie Par
ker.
Song: “The Proposal,”—Peterson
Ward and Gladys Peacock.
Reading: “My Sisters’ Best Fel
low,” —Nettie Parker.
Dixie—by the Band.
Song: “What Would You Take Me
For?”—Alice Bryant, Beatrice Sweat,
Gladys Peacock.
Pantomime and Tableau, “Nearer
My God to Thee”—Hazel Peacock,
Alice Bryant, Beatrice Sweat, Mary
Bryant, Mae Peacock.
Reading: “Too Big and Too Little,”
—Sarah Dean Smith.
Reading: “College Oil Cans,” —Mrs.
Callie Chance.
Solo: “Little Feet Be careful—Mag
gie Peacock.
Reading: “The Besetting Sin,” —
Mrs. N. L. Cox.
Pantomime and Tableau, “Old Black
Joe,” —Isaac Cato.
Reading: “Graveley’s Troubles,” —
J. L. Parker.
Mrs. J. E. Philips had charge of the
program and directed the rehearsals
in preparation. She is to be com
mended for her untiring efforts and
she has shown that there is much tal
ent in her community.
Illness prevented some from par
ticipating in the program, but it ap
peared that every mother had a hand
in preparing the refreshments which
were sold before and after the pro
gram. Some gave unselfishly
their time, efforts and money to see
the whole affair put over big.
The following committe composed
of Mrs. J. L. Parker, Mrs. J. E. Phil
ips and Mr. Sampie Smith, wish to
thank those who contributed to the
affair, and to those who gave to the
piano fun.
They also take this method of ex
tending their thanks to Mr. Bledsoe,
Miss Thelma Bledsoe, and to Prof.
Henry Williams for the special music
rendered.

ROAD MAP SHOWING PROPOSED ROUTE
VIA BROXTON FROM FITZGERALD. DOUGLAS U
The accompanying road map, is a conception of pro- \
gressive Broxton citizens who point out the directness of \
the road from Fitzgerald to Douglas via Broxton. It is \
stated that the distance is equal or less than that of the UJ WAV CROSS
Dixie Highway.
An effort has been made to secure state aid for the pro
posed route and assurances have come that the Highway X
Board is giving the question serious consideration.
Should the route be designated as suggested in the \
map it would increase State aid mileage in Coffee county
by several miles. \
The map is published for the purpose of acquainting *
the public generally with the fact that the distance between \
Douglas and Fitzgerald via Broxton is shorter, and that the \
consideration of the road between the two cities is in ex- \
cellent condition, built on permanent lines, and serves a far
greater portion of Coffee county than does the present
Dixie Highway. It is also the theory that the proposed
route traverses as fine section of Coffee county as can be iAri/eAM\/n i C V\
found. JACKSONVILLE LJ

NOTICE.
After four weeks notice, towit: on
the 21st day of November, 1925, there
will be presented to the Honorable
Harry D. Reed. Judge of the Superior
Courts of the Waycross Judicial Cir
cuit, which includes Coffee County,
Georgia, the county of the appoint
ment of the undersigned guai’dian, at
the Chambers of said Judge, at the
City of Waycross in said state, a pe
tition for leave to sell at private sale,
for the purpose of reinvestment, the
following real estate and interest in
real estate belonging to A. M. Walker,
George T. Walker, Myrtle Walker and
Harry Walker, minor wards of the
undersigned, towit:
All of the undivided interest of
said minor wards in that tract or
parcel of land situated in the City of
Douglas, Coffee County, Georgia, des
cribed as all of lots numbers one (1),
two (2), three (3), four (4), eleven
(11), twelve (12), and thirteen (13),
and the west half of lot number five
(5), all in block number one hundied
and forty one (141) according to the
official map of the City of Douglas.
Leave to sell said above described
property, and the interest of said
wards therein is sought because the
charges and assessments against the
same for public purposes is out of
proportion to the income therefrom
because it is so situated that there
is likelihood of other and larger as
sessments being made to cover costs
of paying and sewerage extensions,
and similar public improvements, and
the appreciation or enhancement in
value on account thereof will not be
in keeping with such enpenditures;
and furthermore because said wards
are without an estate out of which
to pay said assessments, and the funds
derived from the sale of said property
can be reinvested in productive farm
lands or city property, less expensive
to keep and productive of income com
mensurate with its value sufficient to
pay the exepenses incident to the
ownership thereof and to contribute
largely to the maintenance and sup
port of said wards.
This 24th da v of October, 1925.
