CHAUTAUQUA ENOS
HAY RETURN 102?
With the play of Tangerine on Wed
nesday night, the last program of the
Douglas Chautauqua was rendered.
On Thursday morning the tent was on
its way to another town.
It has not been decided at this time
whether we will have a Chautauqua
next season or not. A contract with
provisions has been tendered this
management to return next season,
but they have not accepted as yet. The
local committee wants the chautauqua
next year to come before May 1. If
they can, then we will likely have the
same company to furnish us programs
next season.
All of the attractions were good and
enjoyed by everybody. The only weak
program was the play on the first
night, Two Blocks Away. The play
is alright but the caste was not what
it should have been. Those selected
did not know their lines, hence the
crowd was disappointed, but the other
two plays made up for this. They
were specially good and enjoyed, as
well as the other musical numbers and
addresses.
As a whole the White & Brown
Chautauqua is aibove the average in
furnishing talent. The programs
were jam up with the exception nam
ed, and we believe the people want
this same chautauqua here for another
season.
CO. AGENT BUSSEY
111 FOUR ROLES
There are about four thing's that 1
want to call to your attention this
week, namely, pecan top-working,
chicken sale, calcium arsenate and boll
weevil control and the county Fair.
We can get a man to top-work any
pecan trees you have that are not pro
ducing fruit or is producing fruit of
inferior quality. If your pecan trees
are varieties that are scabbing badly
and you want them re-worked to scab
resistant varieties, we can get it done.
Trees that are not (profitable now can.
be made profitable by top-working
and you get ‘t cheaper while we have
a man in here doing this work for
some other folks that are expecting to
have it done. We already have some
work lined up for him at Broxton and
Nicholls. If you are interested, write
me right away how many trees you
have to be worked and about their
ages.
We had hoped to have a chicken
sale sometime this week but I have re
ceived a notice from the Georgia and
Floiida Railway Agricultural Agent,
who is promoting the sale, that it will
be impossible to hold it now, but he
will try to get a car through here the
last of next week. If you want to

P. L. MOORE ENTERS
RACE FOR GO. GOM.
The lace for county commissioner
has opened up in dead earnest, at least
from one of the three districts of the
county. Mr. P. L. Moore, at present
one of the three commissioners, an
nounces in this issue to succeed him
self. Mr. Bordeaux announced several
weeks ago from this the Ambrose-
Broxton district.
Mr. Moore has served the county in
this capacity for several yeais and
has made the county one of the best
commissioners in its history. He is
devoted to the office the people gave
him, works hard on the job with many
sacrifices to his personal interests, and
has given the county honest service. He
| is well equipped to continue the work
I as he has helped d.iiect the road build
| ing and financial affairs of the county
1 so long until he is thoroughly familiar
1 with every detail. He feels that he
can be of further service to his district
and county, hence, is willing to serve
on, if the people want him.
“MIKE,” THE DARLING, COMES
TO THE RIVOLI NEXT WEEK
Not since “Charley’s Aunt” was
with us will movie fans see such an ag
gregation of fun and excitement as
comes to Douglas next Monday with
“MIKE” in the most charming comedy
drama ever shown here, surpassed on-
ly, by MIKE herself, for be it known
it’s “HER” not “HE.”
Por a rip-roaring romance, gripping
adventure, bieath-taking thrills, de
licious comedy, sparkling novelty,
browls and battles, charming heroine,
handsome hero, trio of the screen’s
greatest comedians, of filmdom’s bad
men, see “MIKE” is a story of rail
road life in a small town.
Marshall Neilan believed that SAL
O’NEILL would become as popular
a comedienne as Dorothy Gish or Con
stance Talniadge and his opinion has
been justified by the remarkable re
sults. She danced before him and he
immediately knew she was just the
very girl to lead in his next and best
pietuie. Miss O’Neill was given the
name of MIKE in the Metro-Goldwyn
picture that comes to the Rivoli Thea
tre next Monday and Tuesday.
patronize this car and wish to be noti
fied when it is coming, please write
me to that effect and about the number
and kind of poultry you will have. The
G. & F. is running a ear Tuesday and
Wednesday of this week on their north
end which is paying 43c for friers,
18c for roosters and 27c for hens.
There is some State Board of Ento
mology calcium arsenate stored here
which can be obtained by seeing me at
my office on Saturdays, not next Sat
urday, but any Saturday. It sells for
8 l-2c per pound, or rather in drums

SPECIAL ELECTION
VOTE WAS LIGHT. FOUR CANDI
DATES IN FIELD. FALES WILL
BE SWORN IN SATURDAY.
The special election on last Tuesday
to fill the vacancy in the office of the
Clerk of Superior Court caused by the
lecent death of Mr. Session Fales,
passed off quietly, resulting in the
election of Mr. Cleon Fales by a hand
some majority. The vote was light
over the county due to busy times on
the farms, also there being only one
race, the voters would not stop work
to vote.
The victor at the polls is a son of
the late clerk, Session Fales, and has
acted as deputy clerk under his father
and of course will be familiar with the
duties of the clerk’s office. He is
qralified in every way for the place,
and the magnificent vote he polled is
a compliment to him, as well as the
memory of his father, who had been
clerk for several years.
There were four candidates in the
field, viz: J. B. Exum, E. M. Thomp
son, J. J. Lott, and Cleon Fales. We
are publishing herewith a tabulated
leturn of the consolidated vote which
is official and correct. The consoli
dated vote was annuneed at noon and
the result forwarded to Atlanta that
tiay. It is expected that Mr. Fales’
commission will reach here by Satur
day or Monday at which time he will
be sworn in as clerk. The unexpired
term will last until Dec. 31, 1928.
CARD OF THANKS.
I take this method of thanking all
those who voted for me on last Tues
day, resulting in my election, and to
those who opposed me I want to assure
that I will harbor no ill feeling. I
want to be a friend to all and every
one shall have impartial service dur
ing my term as clerk.
CLEON FALES.
E. M. THOMPSON OFFERS
CONGRATULATIONS TO FALES
Mr. Cleon Fales, Douglas, Ga.
Dear Sir:
The people of Coffee County have
legistered their will in a way that can
not be mistaken, and the mantle of
the father has fallen upon the shoul
dei s of the son. I congratulate you
heartily upon your splendid victory,
and wish that your administration may
exhibit the same hgh standard of pub
lic service as marked the administra
tion of your honored father.
Cordially and sincerely yours,
Elisha M. Thompson.
