who rank among the most hospitable
hosts in Americu-, especially to
young people.
The living rooms were fragrant
with spring fljwers. and comfort
able chairs were arranged about the
apartment for the pleasure of the
guests.
A scries of interesting panto
mimes had been rehearsed »by the
Juniors, with Group No. 1 giving in
three scenes the beautiful story of
“Queen Esther.’’ The story was
read by Mi ;s Herndon throughout,
and at the conclusion of the rendi
tion, much praise was accorded the
actor' for the beauty and • perfec
tion . f the prewantation.
Group No. 2 gave “Noah’’ in four
scenes, followed by Group 3 which
presented the sweet story of “Ruth”
in seven acts.
The concluding pantomime was a
splendid presentation of the rugged
story of “Sampson.” which was
unfolded in eight scenes, and was
received with great applause.
Throughout the scenes the story was
told by Miss Herndon without call
ing the names of the characters rep
resented, the guests guessing the
identity of the persons portrayed.
Following the pantomimes, short
messages were written by the young
people, which were pinned to a large
sheet, the messages being shot at
with hows and arrows, typical of the
Biblical characters in the panto
mimes. As each message was pierc
ed, it was read aloud, some of the
sentiments being sentimental, others
amusing, while still others were
educational.
The concluding feature of the pro

CLUB WOMEN INVITED
TO POWER CONVENTION.
Mrs. George Van Riper, president
of the Woman’s Club of Americus,
is sending out invitations to the
women’s clubs all over the Third dis
i.iiet today, urging them to attend
the waterpower convention next
Wednesday.
Mrs. Van Riper is stressing the
fact that the development of the
waterpowers means much the wo
men of the stale both in town and
country.
The matter was brought before a i
committee of the club Friday and(
they approved the idea of asking |
the clubs to send a full delegation
and take part with the men in the
work of solving this big question.
Some member of the local clubs
here will welcome the delegates to
Ameyicus in the name of the women
of the city, and it is likely that
some of them will take part in the
di; cussion.
"In the convention at Waycn ss,”
■■aid secretary Greer, “the engineer
.for the power company was saying
that, the women did not use the
power they already had for washing,
cooking, ironing and so forth, when
a lady arose and said, ‘no wonder,
the price is so high we can scarcely
use it for lighting our houses.’ The
same engineers also said that it
would be impractical to carry it into
the country, as the transformers
cost as much as nine hundred dol
lars. He was asked that if one
transformer would not do tor sev
eral farm houses and if that would
.not he much cheaper than the little
local paints they were now buying.

•i He was obliged to admit that sev

| making it practical. It is tieing car
ried into hundred; of farm homes
in Ontario, Canada, and the people
are using it fcr all purposes, be
; cause it is so cheap.
“A good deal is being said on the
streets about Americus and several
neighboring town.- getting together
i and building a dam on the Flint
river to supply this section of the
state with current. If the water
power bills are pa-sed in the next'
I legislature, this will b? feasible, but
under the present law, no two towns
• can combine for a purpose of this
kind.”
