One of the most enjoyable events
! of the week was the social of the Phi
lathea class of the First Baptist
■ Church, held Tuesday evening at the
| home of their teacher, Mrs. L. B.
] Lott on Rurlow street. The occasion
| was the result of a recent contest in
I the class. The class is divided into
1 two sides, the Reds and Blues, each
| side trying to out-number the other in
■ attendance each Sunday. The Blues
I were the unfortunate losers in the
I contest, and it fell upon them to en
i tertain their opponents, which they
! did in a gracious manner last even
ing.
The entire lower floor of the Lott
i home was thrown open for the oc
' casion. Baskets of blue larkspur and
I red cannas placed on tables and wall
i pockets throughout the rooms carried
I out the color motif of the contest.
Punch was served during the entire

The class is composed of about 100 I
young ladies and matrons of the city
and echoes of the work done by this ]
class is being daily manifested under |
! the splendid leadership of Mrs. Lott. I
I One member of the Blues, feeling I
! the defeat to the extent that she ex- j
pressed her feelings thus:
Our name might suggest that we are '
sad—
I But we are not, just glad.
iWe were outnumbered we know, I
I But one thing we want to show— 1
That we stand for quality— not
quantity.
Good losers are we,
I As anyone would want to see.
We have accepted our defeat,
So come and get your retreat,
Just as long as the repast—
Will last.
Now this is all that could be said—
From a Blue to a Red.

ler of her little friends with a play

resented flowers blossoming in the
yards of this mystic square. The
Wild Rose was portrayed by Har

a dainty frock of white with trim

Forget-me-not, and in her blue dress ■

Fern, and the cool of her green dress
made a pretty background for the
flowers arrayed against her. Eliza

Lily, and nothing was more attrac

flower. The stage was lighted with i
gleaming white and colored tapers
and the footlights were splendidly
manipulated. A number of peopb !

a splendid collection was taken,
which was immediatel-- absorbed by:

Finds Crops Bad in
Whole Cotton Belt
Dr. and Mrs. E. T. Mathis and Mrs.
W. D. Bailey have returned from Hot
Springs, Ark., where they spent three
weeks on a health outing.
“We found people there from all
over the United States,” said Dr.
Mathis. ‘An indication of the popular
ity of the place may be gained from
the statement that of the 200 rooms
in the hotel where we stopped only
five were vacant.
“I observed on the trip that no
where were the crops as good as in
Sumter county. From a few miles be
yond the Chattahoochee river there
appeared to be almost no crops. I
quizzed men from various parts of the
cotton states and I am convinced
from what I learned that only North
Carolina has anything like a good
start, except our section about Sum
ter county, and that we come a close
second. The outlook elsewhere is very
poor. The crops seem to have come
out wonderfully here during our ab
sence.
1,000 More Pecan Trees
Planted on Arles Tract
One thousand additional pecan
trees have just been planted on the
plantation of the former Arles Co.,
four miles east of Americus, making
two thousand, all of choice variety
trees, now there. H. W. Hyatt, has
recently moved there from Fort Val
ley, and he is superintending the op
eration of the place this year.
Hair With A
Thousand Lights
Hair with a thousand lights is per
fectly clean and lustrous. It is hair
deprwed of the sticky film caused by
the use of cheap shampoos, pastes,
emulsions and creams that take
away its lustre and life and cause it
to lose its color.
Shuco Shampoo is manufactured of
the highest refined cocoanut and palm
oils perfectly saponified and suspend
ed in solution. Two or three tea
spoonfuls applied to the wetted hair
and rubbed briskly changes into a
bushel of bubbling, sparkling, snowy
white lather that vanishes all dirt,
dust and dandruff and completely
rinses out. It leaves the hair per
fectly clean and makes it fluffy and
loose, brilliant, velvety and wavy.
Your mirror wil tell you why Shuco
Shampoo makes hair with a thousand
lights. Easily obtainable at any good
drugstore. a j v
