There is a scholar ship in every college in the state and some outside of the state, she said. Mrs. Frank Harrold, of Americas, president genei|il of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, urged those present to remember the “sa credness of their purpose to keep American citizenship high by en deavoring to further Christian edu cation and by perpetuating and in culcating within their hearts and lives the ideals of the south.” HUGE ILLICIT STILL DESTROYED IN TERRELL DAWSON, June 19.—One of the largest stills ever found in Terreli county was seized last week and Jim Towns and "Buster” Turner, ne groes, alleged operators of the dis tilling outfit, arrested, following a raid by County Police Officers Jen nings and Evarts.

Each member of the class was called on for a talk and responses showed that the training of those “speeches” on Friday afternoon of school days had not been without good effect. Great amusement was afforded as different ones gave instances connected with old school days and particularly interesting was an exhib tion of class work done in the third primary. Miss Rebecca having pre served the book, and great surprise was evidenced that Ed Gyles could not give off hand the peninsulas of ‘Europe as he had done in third grade, while Nettie Lockette took a little more time to work long divi sion in her head now than it took to put it on paper in the third pri mary. A picture of the class or) graduating day afforded great mer riment and especially the cos tumes of the “girls.” The most in teresting piece recent news received at the reunion was the fact that our vivacious absentee “Lucy Mid Cobb Stewart,” was no%v a grand mother, and if the little grandson inherits even a small portion of the charms of his maternal grandmoth er, he will have more than he needs for any future conquest. A motion was made by Lucius Morgan that the class make a ten der of friendly aid in any possible way to relieve the matrimonial dis abilities of the two bachelor mem bers of the class, Ed Gyles and Yank Ansley. The motion unani mously carried and full appreciation of any and all assistance was voiced by Ed Gyles. The veil of sacred quiet was drawn across the merry band when the names our former classmates were called who have been claimed by the great Reaper. This list in cluded Inez Myers, Nora Burke, John McGarrah, Guerry Adderton, Walter Stewart Dell Gray, Winnie Stone and Charlie Harris. Two or more members of the class could not be traced. All pleasure must end at some time, so the delightful reunion of the “cl ass of ’94” had to come to a reluctant close. Everybody resolved that they would not say good bye, but would keep in touch with each other until they could meet in an other class reunion and in the in ] terim all hearts will continue to breathe a prayer of blessing upon the lives of former class mates. Those present last evening were Beta Hill Moreland Mattie Cam sron McArthur, Mattie Ansley Coop ar, Nell Morgan Thomas, Georgia j Lee Hawkins Killen Nettie Lockett Chalker, Eula Sloan Wilson Ed Gyles, Edwin Bell, Lucius Morgan, Tom Bell Durelle Graham Luther Hawkins Harrold Davenport, Prof. J. E. Mathis, and Miss Rebecca Cowles. Our Absentees As we visualize o»r clas-room thirty years ago, we see a number of vacant desks, and it is my priv ilege to call the roll of these ab sentees tonight, and note from which place they answer “pres ent.” Th e brilliant little fellow who graduated in knee pants,— of course you recognize Roland Harper is now the distinguished Prof. Harper of University of Ala bama, geographer of note, author of no mean reputation. Really, Roland has carried out his oft ex pressed intention of being an hon or to our class. In sending his greeting to the class tonight, he does not mention any wife and I fear that, like Ed Gyles and Frank Ansley, he has become so absorbed in the unimportant matters he has neglected the one important thing— or else —perish the thought, it may be the result of some girl’s poor judgment. Lucy Mid Cobb Stew art has traveled over the face of the earth since she left Furlow school. She has learned the lan guages of Africa and Europe and is now speaking th e Japanese lan guage at Tokio, where her husband is consul. You know we always expected these unusual things of Lucy Mid which her charms have brought “to pass. The same daring which caused her to plan a sun flower shower of 400 blooms for Prof. Winkler—no doubt served her well when she landed at Tokio just after the earthquake. Flor ence Hollis Hand writes from Pel ham that she is so busy getting four children off to camp, receiv ing two boy.s from college and shipping cantaloupes and toma toes, she had to forego the pleas ure of th e reunion. Can you imag ine Florence knowing the relative market values of tomatoes and cantaloupes—-but w e do not al ways appreciate the possibilities wrappey up in a high school pu pil. Rosalind Royall married 'Walton Callaway, you remember, and lives in Chattanooga. Graduation exer cises of one of her daughters kept her from the reunion, but she “sends greeting to each class mate. If we could only have list ened on e more time tonight to Rosalind as she recited for us again “Morgan’s Raid,” we would have felt our cup of happiness run ning over. Belle Lanier Baker sends warmest greetings from her home in West Point. We all won der if she can still recite “Two Locks of K'air” as well as she did for six consecutive Fridays in the ninth grade! The most notorious absentee tongiht is of course Glenn Todson, who writes in this morn ing’s mail that he is “unavoid ably detained by urgent business call.” Now we all expected not only to see Glenn, but to receive a free bottle of Livertone as a souvenir. And more of us want ed the opportunity to ask him for a personal explanation of how he can possibly match his reputation for truthfulness against that state ment on the Livertone bottle, “pleasant to taste.” Well it is good to know that Glenn is one mem ber of the class whose face we can never forget as we cannot walk even into a cross-roads drug store without seeing it. Gabe Parker did not stay with us all th e year, but the excellent influence we threw about his life during that tim e still abides, as he is an honored citizen of Leslie. Cliff Prince has headquarters in Norfolk, Va., where h e is one of the “big bugs” of the S. A. L. Ky. We never did expect small things of this handsome member of the class and ar e not surprised that Cliff is riding over the world on passes. I recommend that we request him, in token of our for mer affection, to send each one of us an annual pass over the S. A. L. and those of the clas s who live in Savannah will add a request that the time between that point and Americus for tli e trains be made 20 instead of 15 miles per hour. Susie Lingo was always doing un usual things and we were not sur prised when we heard that she had married a “Priest.” She lives in Massachusetts and when I saw her three or four years ago, she talk ed just as much as she did in Prof. Mathis room when he was out of th e room for a few minutes. Maggie Brannon, our handsome and vivacious classmate is married and lives in Washington, D. C. I have always had the greatest ad miration for anybody who could cook c.s good <-andy as Maggie could on a st-> •m register, and under the very eyes of such excellent teach ers as prof. Mcßae and Mis* Sara Wheeler. Two or three members of our class could not be traced by the Don’t sacrifice quality when quality costs no more COUNT the cost of Banquet Orange Pekoe lea and you will find that never was qqality, flavor and goodness so cheaply bought! Imagine it! That inimitable Banquet flavor, that true tea fragrance actually costs no more. Your enjoyment in drinking tea and your pride in serving tea will be greater when you use Banquet Orange Pekoe. Your grocer can supply you with Banquet Orange Pekoe Tea in the air-tight orange canister. If not, write for free sample and our booklet, “A Wonderful Idavor, and give name and address of your dealer. Teapot coupons in all packages (except ten-cent size) explain how you may secure the Banquet Percolator Teapot. ft A N QIIET ORANGE Up ek o e tea McCormick & Company * a wonderful flavor ' Tea Importers, Blenders Baltimore, Md. and Packers THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER writer and we can only send them a wireless greeting of effection to night, wherever they are. Our “prettiest teacher,” Miss Laura Brown, Mrs. E. C. Miller, sends affectionate greetings from her home in Biltmore Hotel, in New York, and “Ruth Brown,” Mrs. J. M. Gannon, from her home in Sa vannah. Miss Sara Wheeler is principal of the school in Clayton, Ga. Any body who has tried as hard as she did to drum “amo-amas-amat” in to our brains deserves the delight ful environment that she enjoys at Clayton. Prof. McKee lives in Atlanta and cays h fi has forgiven Nettie Lock ette for the race she made him run in an effort to keep her from talking in school. Arthur Willi ford lives in N. C. —and we wish we could see again tonight the merry twinkle in his brown eyes that was familiar when he “desked” with Luther Hawkins. With reverenr touch I draw the veil across our merry board while I jail the names of Winnie Stone, Charlie Harr .;, Inez Myers, Nina Burke, John Mc- Garrah, Guerry Adderton, Dell Gray, and Walter Stewart, those of our clasmates having answered the call of the great Reaper. So far as I have it, this completes our list of absentees, and we now call the roll of the rest of the class who will answer “present” here to night. NELL M. THOMAS. DEMPSEY FILM FILLED WITH GENUINE THRILL By R. C. MORAN What would you do if you had a fortune shoved suddenly into your hands—and didn’t know what to do with it? That’s the situation Jack Dempsey faces in his very first film! At a private showing of this pic ture at the Rylander this morning he made his first bow before an Amer icus audience in a new series cf Universal pictures. As an actor Dempsey more than made good— and. then climaxed this with three rounds of spectacular fighting that literally held his audience breath less. , # The new Dempsey stories, written by Gerald Beaumont, noted novel ist, are a rapid fire combination cf thrills and laughs. There is a dare devil rescue on a trestle—a plunge into a torrent—and such a battle! Dempsey and Ed Kennedy do three rounds of real fighting perhaps the first real fight ever interpolated into a play! The cast surrounding the cham pion is more than adequate. Chuck Reisner, famous in Charlie Chaplain and Universal comedies, turns vil lain and does it convincingly. Esth er Ralston plays a blonde vampire of the chorus effectively; Kate Price does some screamingly origin al character work; and Hayden Stevenson as the fight manager is fully as clever as he was in ‘The Leather Pushers.” GORDON WOODBERRY DEAD AT MANCHESTER MANCHESTER, N. H., June 19. —Gordon Woodbury, former assist ant secretary of the navy, and for many years leader in democratic party politics in this state, dropped 'dead in a store in this city late Tues day.

Police quoted her as saying she threw the infants in the water and plunged after them. j * Conner’ s wife attributed his death to a “love quarrel.” Police found a message written, with soap on the top of a dresser in the Williams home, stating that the bodies of Mrs. Williams and the children would be found in the lake. It was unsigned. A third child of Mrs. Williams told police she saw her mo«ther throw one child into the water and then jump in with the other in her arms.
