MISS FISHER IS
BRILLIANT STAR
WITH GLEE CLUB
The Wesleyan Glee club, which will
appear at the Opera House here next
Thursday evening, April 24 , made a
distinct hit in Athens this week. Miss
Emma Love Fisher, daughter of Rev.
and Mrs. Guyton Fisher, of Americus,
was the star of the performance, ac
cording to the Athens Banner, which
had the following to say of the enter
tainment:
The Wesleyan Glee club from Ma
con, played to a good audience at the
Colonial last night. They not only
played to the audience, but they
pleased the audience, and it is not a
easy job to please an Athens audi
ence.
“It is the opinion of the writer that
the Wesleyan Glee club is the best
Glee club that has visited Athens this
year. The. girls are all pretty and
they know how to sing, and do sing.
"The best part of the program was
that furnished by Miss Emma Love
Fisher. Miss Fisher has a good
voice, but what is more pleasing than
her voice is her charming personality
and stage bearing. She captivated
the house last night.
“Miss Grace Laramore and Miss
Jane Carter also won a large part
of the applause. Miss Laramore sang
“Love’s Old Sweet Song,” and Miss
Carter sang “Wid De Moon,” and
“How’re Pou Going to Keep 'Em
Down on the Farm?”
“The Dischord Quartette did not live
up to its name, and anyway, what’s
in a name? This quartette had har
mony which was enjoyed. The In
strumental club got across in fine
style. Wesleyan is the only girls’ col- >
lege in the South that can boast of a
mandolin club. And she can justly
boast of the one that appeared at the
Colonial last night. The “Three
Little Maids From School,” Misses
Gurr, Faust and Thomas, appeared
in an original little skit that wa
pleasing.
“The last act of last night’s per
formance was a one act operetta com
posed by Mr. Billin, the director of
the club. The setting is an. Indian
one. The soloists in this act were
Miss Gibson and Miss Napier.
"Those who heard and saw, for see
ing was a large part of the program,
the Wesleyan Glee club last night
enjoyed it thoroughly, for it was ;
most excellent performance.”
CENTENARY DAY AND EASTER
AT PLEASANT GROVE CHURCH
Sunday, April 20, promises to be a
good day at Pleasant Grove Methodist
church. At the morning service a
splendid Easter program will be ren
dered, concluded with a. short spicy
Centenary speech. The ladies have
arranged to serve dinner at the
church. We will then have some
more Centenary speeches in the after
noon. We have the promise of some
good speakers. All have a cordial
invitation to be with us.

CALOIDS ARE BEST
FOR THE LIVER

OIDS, the new calomel preparation,
to his friends. Mr. Grimes says: “I
have used CAL’OIDS, the new calomel
compound, and gladly recommend them
to any one who needs medicine for the
liver or bowels. They are the best
liver medicine I have ever used.”
CAI.OIDS positively will not cause
nausea or distress. They are being
used extensvely where a medicine that
will act directly but quietly, upon the
liver is required. You can get CAL
OIDS from your druggist. adv

20 GA. FARMERS
PAID $500,000
FOR CAMP SITE
ATLANTA, April 18. —Twenty Geor
gia property owners have received
their shares of the half million dollars
paid by the government for the land
on which Camp Benning will be lo
cated near Columbus.
The cheque for $500,00 was dis
tributed among the owners by Major
J. P. Jones.
In connection with the ’deal, the
smallest cheque ever drawn by the
government was paid to D. L. Skinner,
of Columbus, who received 20 cents as
his share. He had two acres of land
valued at S2O but taxes and other
charges consumed all of the amount
except the 20 cents. An interesting
feature was that it cost more to the
trade for which the twenty cents
checque was given than it had to
verify the titles to a tract for which
$155,000 was paid.
IT THE FIRST SIGN
OF BILIOUSNESS
TIKE I CIIOTIB
The New Nausealess Callomel That
Does the Work Without the Slightest
Unpleasantness or Danger of Sali
vation.
Ask your doctor and he will tell you
that calomel is the best and only sure
remedy for a lazy liver, biliousness,
indigestion and constipation. Now that
all of its unpleasant and dangerous
qualities have been removed, calomel,
in the form of Calotabs, is the easiest
and most pleasant of all laxitives to
take. One tablet at bedtime with a
swallow of water. —that’s all. No taste
no griping, no nauseau, no salts. In
the morning, you feel simply fine
live, wide-awake, energetic, strong and
with a hearty appetite for breakfast.
Eat what you please and go about
your work,—no danger of salivation.
Calotabs are sold only <n original
isealed packages, price thirty-five cents
: Your druggist recommends anq guar
( antees Calotabs by offering to refund
' the price if you are not delighted with
: them. adv
