BUTTS COUNTY PROGRESS VOLUME 26 ‘ DEESTRIGT SKULE” TO BE ' PLATED FRIDAY, OCT. 16 * If you miss seeing the 1 ‘Dees trict Skule” at the auditorium Friday night week, you will re gret your failure to attend, when ' n the next day you learn that it is the talk of the town. A small admission fee will be charged and the proceeds will go to the local chapter of the Confederate daugh ters who will expend itffor some worthy purpose. , , The play will be rendered by local talent, all well known in this community and the serious and comical characters of the the act will bring forth abundant laughter of the natural quality. About fifty persons will take part ranging from big to little, from old to young. The play is chock full of' merriment, no small part of which will be produced by our mutual friend and jovial fellow townsman, Brother Pope. ' Anything which tinges with a touch of the dear old Southland cause “which rose without shame and fell without dishonor” will course gain the abundant pat ronage which it deserves, and of course Jackson will not fail to assist the daughters in their ef forts to keep green the memories of the Confederate dead and to bring joy and love to those other heroes of the same cause who are yet on this side of the river. But to come closer to the grass, the Deestrict Skule as it will be played by those who are now re \ hearsing so frequently and earn ' estly, will be a ‘ ‘red-hot proposi tion” and you will enjoy it. Let’s go out and encourage the daugh ters. RALLY DAY, SUNDAY, 11A.M. FLOVILLA BAPTIST CHURCH.
