WIRELESS STATIONS ON
ROOFS OF ATLANTA HOUSES
ATLANTA. Ga., Feb. 24.— Youngst
ers who used to rub wax on strings
and rig telephones with tin cans for
receivers and transmitters are now
amusing themselves with playthings
for more modern. They are rigging up
wireless stations on the roofs of
houses in Atlanta and are developing
such proficiency in sending and re
ceiving messages that the government
authorities are said to have quietly
tipped them off that only between cer
tain hours would they be allowed to
work their apparatus. Several ama
teur operators have picked up mes
sages being flashed back and forth to
ships at sea, and it is no uncommon
thing for their ears to be pounded by
the tremendous waves of the Arlington
sending station.
NOTICE.
All parties owing me past due notes
or accounts are requested to come up

shall have to resort to legal proceed

the part of the order in regard to
sending information concerning their
company, regiment, and other facts of
service. The members of Camp Sum
ter should send the information to Ad
jutant Stewart. Another matter of in
formation desired is to who of the vet
erans intend going to Washington and

cure uniforms.

beware of witches.
Ever see a witch? Ever see a pic
ture of one? Uncanny looking, aren’t
they? Strange and ghostly stories
have been told of witches and demons
since the beginning of history. Fairy
tales and nursery rhymes are full of
witches such as the fairy turning rag
ged little Cinderella into a beautiful
princess by a single wave of the hand
and old Rip Van Winkle was made to
sleep for twenty years. But strange
as all these things may seem, still
stranger are the amazing and wonder
ful performances given by Richards.
“The Wizard,” and company, who open
a week’s engagement at the Opera
House Monday night, the highest class
and most elaborately staged mystery,
musical, fun show that has ever tour
ed the American continent. The en
tire production is coming to Americus
intact, and exactly as presented in
every principal city in North America
with three complete changes of pro
gram during the week ,and this posi
tively is the very first appearance of
Mr. Richards at popular prices, as a
whole biaggage carload of special
sceneery and mysterious stagecraft is
required to stage this wonderful
show which overflows with clean com
edy, now music, mystery, thrills and
splendor It is truly a show of a thou
sand wonders and during the compa
nyy’s engagement here a real live baby
to be given away.
ANNOUNCEMENT OF “BONE DRY”
LAW CAUSED RUSH OF ORDERS
ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 24—Although
it is against the law to run whiskey
advertisements in Georgia, it would
seem that every newspaper in the
state carried a powerful whiskey ad
vertisement on its front page this
week in the announcement of the pas
sage of the “bone dry” law.
No soooner had the news been pub
lished than mail orders out of Atlanta
for whhiskey jumped to an unprece
dented point, and it is understood t s at
the same thing took place in every oth
er town in the state.
Literally speaking, people ordered
whiskey who had never ordered any
before in their whole lives. It looked
like a last chance, and they didn’t
know when they might be snake-bitten,
and one man said it was his opinion
that more liquor would be ordered into
Georgia during the next week than had
ever been shipped before to the same
sized territory in the history of the
world.
“This enrollment is asked to be
made for the purpose of obtaining the
exact number of veterans in the state
of Georgia, and for the purpose of car
rying out the resolution adopted by the
Daughters of the Confederacy and the
Canfederate Veterans at their con
vention at Thomasville and Americus
in 1916, to obtain an increase of the
pensions to veterans of sls per month,
and that a copy of this list, with the
company, regiment and army in which
service was rendered and date of dis
charge, and how discharged, should be
made and forwarded to Col. Bridges
Smith, adjutant-general of the Georgia
division.
“And it is also ordered that the
names of all veterans that can be as
certained who will go to Washington
to the June reunion to be held on the
sth, 6th and 7th of said month, and to
impress upon the veterans that they
should go in uniform if possible, but to
go without it anyway. Those wishing
uniforms can communicate with Col.
N. B. Forrest, at Biloxi, Miss., who will
give them the information as to how
to obtain a uniform and the cost of the
same.
“Each camp commander is requested
to have his county paper publish this
order upon receiving the same, for
the information of the public and the
veterans.

Georgia Division. U. C. V.
