The mission of the Neil Litchfield Trio is to make people healthful and happy by making them laugh. Their entertainment serves as a de lightful ieaven to the heavier and more philosophical numbers of the Course. While primarly a humor ist, Mr. itLchfield also recites —his selections running from the highly dramatic to the intensely humorous and patethic. After his college course at Corneli University, lie took several courses of instruction with the best teachers of elocution and platform art in the United Sta tes, thoroughly fitting himself for a public reader, which profession he has followed for many years. Mrs. Litchfield who has had many years experience on the plat form as an entertainer and vydiniste is a close second to her husband. Miss Abbie Litchfield ably pre sides at the piano, and gives a truu to-life personation of Amanda Green, in the closing comedy'. The latter half of the entertain ment is the special feature, “Down at Brook Farm.” This rural com edy playlet has been played over 35,000 times in the United States, Canada and Europe. It is clean and refined in character, and, without a doub,t it is the funniest comedy on the Lyceum platform today. The Lavonia Times says; Speaking of laughter: Well, those who heard the Lichfields bad it. The entertainment was the first number of the Lyceum course in Lavonia. They came highly reco mended and lived up to their repu tation as being entertainers of a hig order. The Trio was compos ed of husband, wife and daughter. They were a whole show however. Nobody went away dissapointed. This was the highest priced enter tainment ever put on at Lavonia. Nobody said it wasn’t worth the price. Must Pay Dog Tax if You Wish to Vole Failure to Pay the Slate Tax on Canine Disqualifies One to Register. Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 5. —If a mart does not pay the state tax of fcl on his dog he hasn’t got a right to vote. And that’s no joke, either, tous wiseacres to the contrary \i«tr standing. The state laws says t hat &> mn can not register until he has= all the taxes he is legally state. The new attorney-general, ITulett A. Hall, has ruled tlmi Am■ dog tax is legal, according t<*> Ak.' constitution of Georgia. Therefore, if a man returns- a, million dollar’s worth of profwrty.- and omits his wife’s potto!*- 'fee stands a good chance of being ah— franchised. And wliat’s more, if them r: vg ,Mature should repeal the dog fasr, it wouldn’t help him any. lie could never vote again legally so long as he lived unless he- we*to back and paid the tax ott tt&s& poodle, The strict enforcement of the dtjg tax has resulted in a most rtsrasi able fatality among the cumin rs. Tax receiver’s report to Compton^- ler-General Wright that nearly every day some man will come In and say: “Well, I did have n dug, hut he died.” Which, if they but stop to think doesn’t relieve them after all, m> more than a man can gel out of paying on a house that was burowJ, but burned down before Ihe time fell due for the taesx to be paid. All of which means that atewnl ing to the way the Hon. Hewlett A. Hall las it doped out there’s m* way in the world to avoid paying the dog tax except to refrain from owning a dog.
