STUNTS ENLIVEN
ROTARYDINNER
Lee Hansford and Dud
ley Gatewood Resur -
rect Trained Bear
The Rotary ladies night dinner,
last night at the Windsor hotel, was
one of the most enjoyable affairs
that organization has held. Many of
the members were present and a
number of guests added to the pleas
ure of the occasion. The entertain
ment program was in charge of ‘Fess’
Mathis, who was ably assisted by
others who made every effort to
make it an occasion of unusual in
terest. One of the most amusing
features was a “stunt” given by Dud
ley Gatewood and Lee Hansford, who
harked back to their boyhood days
and a (performance
which even in those days elicited
roars of laughter. Last night’s per
formance was no exception. Dudley
Gatewood, representing a big fat
bear, with a muzzle over his face,
came into the dining room upon his
all-fours, led by Lee Hansford as the
Italian master. With His almost un
intelligible dialect, except to the|
“bear.” The pair were greeted witn i
howls of amusment from the guests, i
Miss Melva Clark sang several se-|
lections in a superb manner, and Miss
Catherine Smith delighted the hear
ers with a number of readings. An
other feature was the missing letter
contest between the men and the la
dies. A letter was given out, and
upon this one letter the contest re
volved, the one thinking out the miss
inig word to which the letter belong
ed winning. Another amusing sea-
DOES YOUR BABY 1
\ SLEEP WELL AT NIGHT? j
Baby’s sleep is important. At night
baby sleeps about nine-tenths of the
time and should take a daily nap until
about four years old. A quiet, peace
ful sleep is a sign of perfect health
while disturbance of sleep is almost
always due to improper feeding,
which causes indigestion, constipa
tion, sour stomach, gas, etc.
A baby specialist, while admitting
that a good baby laxative should be
used in such cases, warns mothers
against the use of strong, irritating
drugs that cause inflammation of the
delicate membrane of baby’s stom
ach, and recommends ‘“Baby Ease,”
a perfected baby laxative by a baby
specialist.
“Baby Ease” is excellent for all
disorders of the stomach and diges
tion in babies and children. It is
easy-acting, non-irritating, does not
produce over-action or leave baby
constipated. It is a safe, harmless
and efficient baby laxative and cor
rective. If “Baby Ease” fails to
correct these troubles after a few
doses, take your baby to a specialist
for a thorough examination. “Baby
Ease” may be had from your drug
gist. adv

Assembly Hall Closed
To Political Meetings
ATLANTA, July 23.—The resolu
tion of Representative Anderson, of
Jenkins county, designed to prevent
the recurrence of scenes like that en
acted in the last Republican state
convention when a mixed crowd as
sembled in the ball of the House of
Representatives, has been signed by
Governor Dorsey following its adop
tion by both houses of the general
assembly. It becomes effective im
mediately. The resolution is as fol
lows:
“Resolved by the House of Repre
sentatives, the Senate concurring
that the governor be requested to di
rect the keeper of public buildings
and grounds not to permit political
gatherings by any party of any kind
held in either chamber without the
consent of all members of the com
mittee on public properties of both
houses.”

time.

which were thoroughly enjoyed.
FRECKLE-FACE
Sun and Wind Bring Out Ugly
Spots. How To Remove Easily.
Heres a chance. Miss Freckle-face,
to try a remedy for freckles with the
guarantee of a reliable concern that it
will not cost you a penny unless it
removes the freckles; while if it does
give you a clear complexion the ex
pense is trifling.
Simply get an ounce of Othine —
double strength—from any druggist
and a few applications should show
you how easy it is to rid yourself of
the homely freckles and get a beauti
ful complexion. Rarely is more than
one ounce needed for the worst case.
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength Othins, as this
strength is sold under guarantee of
money back if it fails to remove
freckles. adv
We are proud of the confidence
doctors, druggists and the public have
in 666 Chill and Fever Tonic.
COMPROMISE ON
PAVING REACHED
City To Deed Lawn To
The Property
Owners
I Property owners along East
.: Church street 'between Lee and
» Prince streets, have practically agreed
• with city council to cease opposition
• to the paving of that thoroughfare,
• aYid a result the green lawn now there
i will be retained in its present posi-
■ tion, in addition to the placing of a
: triangular park at the intersection of
■ the two streets.
A conference was held yesterday
afternoon between the Dr. J. R. Stat
ham, H. E. Allen and W. C. Wright,
representing the property owners and
Chairman R. E. Allison of thtj street
committee and W. T. Lane, city at
’ torney, representing the city, at
■ which time it was agreed that the
1 city should give all property owners
along the block quit-claim deeds to
the land included in the lawn, and
which was recently deeded the city
“for street purposes” by the stew
ards of First Methodist church.
At the conference the point was
made that the property might be re
' claimed by the church if not used
for street purposes, and this will be
taken up with the stewards at an
early date, with every prospect of
an agreement being reached. The
city is willing to deed the property
to abutting owners, and they are will
ing to agree to the paving proceeding
when this is done, and all that now
remains is for the stewards of the
church and city council to formally
ratify the agreement reached.
This will give each property owner
along the block in question approxi
mately 15 feet additional front yard,
and should it be decided to move the
side walk there out to the edge of
the pavement when this is laid, will
add a great deal to the value of the
property there.
