City stand re-elected on
tjieir roeords for‘two years of strict
Jaw enforcement.. The record i Un
s’ usual in that not' a cent of taxes
was levied in Alpharetta during 1922
for any purpose. The officials have
been so active that all municipal ex
penses were paid from fijics, princi
pal among which was for violation
of the prohibiiton laws. The offi
cers are T. H, 'Manning, mayor; 1. N.

AGGIES TO PLAY
LESLIE HERE TONIGHT
Ameireus basketball fans have in
store for them tonight the prospect
of a snappy double header game be
tween the Aggie aggregation and the
Leslie team, the game to be played
on the Indoor court of the Third Dis
trict A. & M. school at 7 o’clock.
The Aggies have been putting up
a splendid game throughout the Sea
son, winning in nearly every in
stance, and it is with happy antici
pation that the game is looked for
ward to this evening.
A cordial invitation is extended to
all interested to come.
A game played Wednesday night
of this week between Andersonville
and Aggies resulted in the score of
28 to 7 in favor of the Aggies. It
took the referee from the Anderson
ville team to help the visiting team
get as many as 7 points, and although
the score was heavily in favor of
Americus, the gam< was a pleasing
one to fans hereabouts.

‘OLIVER TWIST’ HAILED r
AS SCREEN IVIASTERPIECE
A great many of the patrons of
the Rylander theater, ye -terday went
to enjoy a screened series ol most
gif. -.1 and adorable boy. ’1 he antics
performed by the screen’s remained
to marvel at the genius of a real
actor to whom comedy is but one of
many forms of expres-loi.. Many
went impelled by their love fi r the
lad whose image they have watched
so many times projected on the sil
ver sheet. They remained to thrill
in the presence of a tie . ..... dian.
Jackie Coogan was the b<.y, the play
vas Frank Lloyd's adaptation Chas.
Dickens’ “Oliver Twist’’ pre* r.ted
as a First National Attract! ;:i.
It cannot be said that any novel
of the length of “Oliver Twist’’ .can
be set forth either on stage or screen
and remain in perfect agreement
with the original; but, while some
will wish that this or that episode
inis been chosen from the book rath- i
er than what is filmed, it must be >
encoded that Mr. Lloyd took those I
portions of the novel that lent them- j
selves best to the medium of the ■
screen.
Lon Chaney's performance of the ■
. oleos Fagin will add laurels even ,
to that much and honorably her
lecked actor.
Gladys Brockwell signalizes her I
■eturn to the screen by a notable
performance of the role of Nancy.

Siegman with powerful ; H ikes.

at three tables of bridge at her home
on Broad street. The living room
where the games were played was
prettily decorated with red japonicas
.am! Ru -ell roses. In the reception ■
ha : ( alia lilies bloomed, filling the ■
< veiling air with their fragrance. In '
Hie heaters blight fires gleamed and
filled the rooms with their cheery
light. Between plays the guests in
dulged in informal conversation in
termingled with fitting remarks.
Joyousness reigned supreme, for I
most congenial was the crowd and 1
mo-1 happy the occasion. Mrs. Hill
was assisted by her mother, Mis.
Fanniey Cheney, in serving a delic
ious salad course to the invited
guests, who were Mrs. J. B. William
on, Mis. Lillie Dixon, Mrs. Rogers

'd and urged to attend t’.iis meeting.
Hounds of the same breed as the
Egyptian pharaohs kept as pets
were exhibited recently at a London
dog show.
The turkey was originally so
called from the mistaken idea that
the bird came from the country of
that name.
