You have heard of the Merry
Widow hat, the merry widow
this, the merry widow that, but
if you are a subscriber to The
Progresss, you will soon have the
opportunity of making yourself
familiar with the origin of so
many merry widows.
Because, the “Merry Widow”
—that great musical dramatic
success—will be published in se
rial form in your own home pa
per, beginning with the issue of
June 18.
Since plays were written, no
play has ever struck such a pop
ular chord in|the hearts of human
beings.
“Tickets sold six weeks ahead”
was the standing answer which
met the public at the box office
of one of the largest theatres in
New York, where the , “Merry
Widow” was. played an entire
season to packed houses.
This in itself would be sufficient
reason for printing the story in
a newspaper. Of New York’s
floating population of a hundred
thousand a day who go to the
theaters nearly all saw “The
Merry Widow” and went back
home to talk about it. Hence
“The Merry Widow” is on every
body’s lips, the talk of the hour,
the sensation of the day. What
a delightful surprise it will be to
our people who could not see
the play in New York or Chicago
to find the story in their home
paper!
But the story itself written
from the play by Albert Pay son
Terhune who wrote 4 ‘The Man of
the Hour” would make a hit in
newspapers on its own merits as
a story. It is inconceivable that
“The Merry Widow” could have
achieved such splendid success
without some merit. The ele
ments of popularity in the play
are faithfully preserved with
fine literary skill in the story.
The plot, the characters, the
bright and witty dialogue all are
there. The story is all action, a
few deft touches of description
bringing the scenes vividly before
the reader.
In the very opening of the
story the reader discovers that
the prize at the ball at the Mars
ovian embassy in Paris is the
“merry widow” with a fortune
of $20,000,000. For this prize
the Parisian fortune hunters and
the ambassador contend, the am
bassador with patriotic motives,
for his country is so poor that it
will be ruined if it loses the the
widow with her fortune to a for
eign suitor. Hence his extreme
anxiety to marry her to the
prince of Marsovia.
Out of the finesse of diplomacy
the plots and counter plots of im
pecunious and persistent suitors
a beautiful love story is evolved,
a story that charms the reader
and satisfies the most exacting
demands of literary taste.
The illustrations constitute one
of the strong attractions of the
story for newspaper use. Ryder,
after seeing the play a number of
times, had Ethel Jackson, w'ho
took the part of the'“merry wid
ow.” pose for the drawings from
which the single, double and
triple column cuts used to illus
trate the story are made. These
illustrations will appear in The
Progress.

J. R. SMITH
One of the real features of the
gubernatorial campaign just
closed was the remarkably adroit
and thoroughly successful man
ner in which James R. Smith, an
unostentatious business man of
Atlanta, who was unkown in
state politics, handled the intersts
of Hon. Joseph M. Brown.
Since the nomination of Mr.
Brown has been assured and by
a handsome majority, every one
is inquiring into the identity of
his campain manager. “Who is
J. R. Smith?” is on everybody’s
lips Friday, excepting of course
those persons who have for a
long term of years knowh him as
one of Atlanta’s most substantial
citizens.
Mr. Smith is in the strictest
interetation of the term a * ‘self
made man.” And like many such
j men who have achieved distin
ction and renown he spent his
I early years on the farm. He was
I born 41 years ago at the family
homestead on the county line of
Henry and Butts counties, near
Jenkinsburg, Ga. His father,
, William Jasper Smith, was then
and is now one of the prominens
' planters of that section of the
state. His mother, who was Miss
Delilah Bankston, was a descen
dant of a sturdy and honorable
Georgia family.
| Until he was 21 years of age
Mr. Smith worked upon his
father’s farm, and it is said that
he was an exceptionally skilled
farmer. Owing to limited oppor
tunities he was denied the school
advantages of many young men
of his time. One year contitutes
his aggregate school attendance
but he rose superior to the ob
stacles which surrounded him and
1 by persistent and studious study
has become one of the best post
ed men in the state.
Mr. Smith was by nature
endowed w ith many talents,
chief of which was business
acumen. This statement is just
tified by the fact although he
came to Atlanta less than twenty
years ago with comblined assets
of but 35 cents he is now worth
in the neighborhood of $lOO,OOO.
I Leaving the farm in 1889 Mr,
Smith accepted a clerkship m a
' general mercantile establish
ment at Jackson, Ga. —Atlanta
Journal.
Many people seem to be igno
rant of the fact that Georgia has
a very stringent law for the pro
tection of the mocking birds, our
matchless songsters of the woods,
and that heavy fines are provided
for those who kill, capture and
cage these birds, says the Ma
rietta Journal. It is against the
law to destroy the young, trap
the old birds or in any way inter
fere with their liberty at any
season of the year. Only a few
yearly ago the mocking* birds
were plentiful in all this section,
but before the protecting laws
were passed they had begun to
disappear, so that comparatively
few are to be seen now'. It is a
gainst the law to sell or buy these
birds, or to keep them in cages,
| and all should govern themselves
1 accordingly.
I have till only September Ist
to sell out the entire stock J. E.
Reeves Cos. and of course I will
have to be shoving out some
thing to do it. So the prices
will be low on every item. H. G.
Entrekin.
