DOUGLAS, GEORGIA, JUNE 11. 1926- FIRST COTTON BLOOMS OF SEASON SHOWN IN CITY The first cotton bloom in the county reported to this office came last Wednesday being brought to the city by Dr. Ivy W. Moorman. The bloom was taken from a ten acre field and several were in evidence at the time. The second bloom was brought to The Enterprise office by Mr. M. J. Taylor, of the Kirkland section, on Thursday, the following day. Mr. Taylor has 12 acres in a field from which this was taken. Both these farmers are to be commend ed for the early production of these blooms. NEXT POULTRY CAR COMING JUNE 17 We will have another poultry car to stop at Douglas on Thursday af ternoon, June 17. It will arrive in Douglas over the A. B. & A. Railway at 2:30 p. m. and will be at the A. B. & A. depot until 6:00 that afternoon. I will know sometime Saturday af ternoon, June 12, what the prices on this car will be, so if you want to know, call me up after Saturday af ternoon. Prices will not hardly be as high as they have been, due to the simple reason that prices on poultry are steadily going down as summer comes on, but the prices will be the top of the market. The poultry will be graded and weighed by a member of the State Bureau of Markets as usual, so you will be assured of honest weights and grades. You will be paid cash at the car. All kinds of poultry, including ducks geese, guineas, turkeys, etc., will be bought on this car. Let’s patronize these cars and make them successful. That is the only way we can ever get poultry cars to mn through here at regular intervals and give you a real market for your poultry. A. S. Bussey, County Agent. JOHN TANNER ANNOUNCES FOR CO.

Moore at Broxton revealed the infor mation that at a meeting held in that city on Wednesday evening, a John Holder for Governor club was or ganized with over 200 members. The list is still open and many names are being added daily. After the. announcement of Mr. Holder appealed in the press, his many Broxton friends got busy and proposed to be the first South Georgia Holder Club in the state, and with the organization of this club it has this distinction. Mr. Holder is very fond of Broxton and her people and has so expressed himself publicly. He has stated that in his campaign speeches he proposes to tell the people of Georgia that he was first nominated for Governor by Broxton. Coffee county, people. So one can readily see the existing rela tionship between Broxton and the next Governor. JOHN HOLDER IN RACE FOR GOVERNOR Hon John N. Holder, chairman of the state highway board, is now a full fledged candidate for governor. A body of his friends from his home county entered his name as a candidate Wednesday, and he was the first of the candidates to qualify. Hee xpects to make an active cam paign, will speak in every county in the state, opposing the proposed bond issue, and will likely be the only can didate in the field to do that unless it is Dr. Hardman. It is generally predicted that the race will narrow down to Mr. Holder and Cecil Neill, of Columbus, who will represent the bond people. Of course we do not mean to discount in any way Mr. Mann, of Brunswick, and Mr. Ennis, of Milledgeville, and others, who will likely be in the race on the bond side. From now on until Sept. 8 there wil be something doing in state politics. Mrs. Walter Williams, Mr. Oliver Padget, and Mr. Esto nStrickland, of Miami, Fla., will be guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Strickland for the week-end. “THE IRON HORSE” COMING TO THE RIVOLI THEATRE Next Monday and Tuesday the Ri voli theatre will present that great historical picture showing the welding of the East and West with one long transcontinental railroad. Tremendous scenes are shown, the army of lailroad workes in the fever ish race to complete the road—the military guards and scouts that pro tected the workers from Indian raids; the frequent clashes with the various tribes of Indians who resisted the en croachment of the white man, the prancing pintos and pillaging Piutes, the xomance of the East and West in the great drama of the welding and wedding of a nation, all go to form a smashing, stupendous sensation that came swiftly after the close of the Civil War. It is a drama of love and adventure during the match of civilization to the West—it was three years in the mak ing, and the result is the most thrilling drama of our country ever filmed. The most dramatic and interesting of all pictures for there are none like it, and it is a picture you will enjoy seeing twice. The RIVOLI, Monday | and Tuesday, June 14-15. $1.50 PER YEAR I%’ ADVANCE WOMANS CLUB DIS BANDS FOR SUMMER With the holding of the May ses sion last Thursday, the club closed the most successful year in its history. The club room was beautifully and artistically decorated, spring flowers being used in profusion, and the pres ence of many visitors enlivened the atmosphere of the occasion. Under the able administration of Mrs. Fred Brewer, the work has been most constructive and efficient. Some of the outstanding features of the year’s work are: the maintenance fund for Tallulah School, Student Aid Work Ella P. White Memorial, Sponsoring of Lyceum Attractions, Armistice Celebration, Entertainment of District Convention, High School Meet sided, Rest Room re-opened, Library made certain—these activities establish con crete evidence of the work accom plished. Not only has the enrollment been the largest in the history of the club, but the financial year has been a success. The treasurer reported no unpaid dues and over seven hundred dollars paid through the treasury. The work of Mrs. Hall in establish ing a library has been of inestimable value. Through the efforts of her committee this important undertaking has been secured. Reports from other officers and chairmen were given. These reports were most grat : fying, each depart ment showing a splendid year of achievements. In a few chosen words Mrs. Brewer expressed sincere thanks for the splendid cooperation given her by the membership during her regime. A rising vote of thanks was given Mrs. Brewer by the entire assembly—an appreciation for the untiring efforts which she had put forth in behalf of the club work during her administra tion. What shall be said, what can be said that is adequate of this very splendid leader. The newly elected officers of the club for the next two years are: Mrs. S. H. Christopher, president; Mrs. T. H. Clark, Ist vice president; Mrs. Claude Stubbs, 2nd vice president; Mrs. Ben W. Gray, recording secretary; Mrs. A. D. King, corresponding secretary; Mrs. W. S. Durst, treasurer; Mrs. J. H. Breedlove, pai limentarian; Mrs. A. P. Darby, reporter. The ietiring president presented Mrs. Christopher, the new presiding officer. The club is most fortunate in their selection of Mrs. Christopher for the new president. She has served most capably on several imtportant committees and is a woman of delight ful charm, and brings to her new of fice youth, culture and dignity that will carry the club forward along the wide path of happiness in all things worth while, which has ever been the keynote of this organization. While the regular civic and cultural activities of the club have been sus pended, as usual, until September, it is the desire of the new president in terest be maintained, and some work, continue during the interim. After the business hour a delightful' musical program was rendered. The hostesses, Mis. W. M. King, Mrs. R. C. Relihan, Mrs. A. C. Winn, and Mrs. W. J. Williams served a dainty plate with a refreshing ice. SCOUT NEWS. On last Monday morning the scouts left on a hike to Starling bridge. Tracking was practiced in the woods between here and the river. At the river the scouts cooked dinner without any utensils. On the way back they stopped at Bear creek for a swim. At the meeting that night many scouts passed parts of their second class tets. Chas.
