MORRIS TO APPKAR FOR Tili; KNIGHTS OF PY THIAS ON FRIDAY EVEN ING FEB VARY GTH. Rev. R. H. Morris, pastor of the Presbyterian clmrch, will give a re cital, in this city, probably at the auditorium, on Friday evening, Febuary 6th. Under the auspices of the K. of P. Lodge of Barnes ville it is expected that a large crowd will be in attendance as a genuine treat is in store for all who may attend. Rev. Mr. Mor ris is a speaker of ability. His selections for the occasion will be from Shakespeare and other well known authors and will embrace the humorous, pathetic and dra matic. It is known to some that Mr. Morris is exceedingly fine along these lines and this recital will afford an opportunity for real enjoyment. There will also be a musical program which will add to the pleasure of the occasion. A full program will be announc ed next week. Married Sunday. Sunday morning at 10 o’clock at the home of the bride’s brother, Mr. Wright Ingram, Miss Fannie Ingram and Mr. Edgar Gordy were united in marriage, Rev. M. M. Walraven, performing the cere mony. The wedding was a very quite affair, only a small number of relatives and friends being pres ent to witness the ceremony, which was very pretty. This young couple are quite well known here and have a lot of friends and admirers who wish for them a life of happiness and suc cess. “Leopard Spots” to be Dramatized. Rev. Tom Dixon’s great book, “The Leopard Spots” is to be dramatized and it is hoped that it can be presented in Barnesville sometime, where Mr. Dixon is so very popular, having often lectur ed before the Barnesville Chau tauqua. The Atlanta News last Saturday contains the following about Mr. Dixon’s present efforts in getting his story ready for pre sention on the stage: Thomas Dixon, the literary lion of the hour, author of “The Leop ard’s Spots,” tells the representa tive of the News today that he has arranged for the dramatization of “The Leopard’s Spots,” so that within the year there will be eight or ten companies playing it indif ferent parts of the country, mak ing a complete offsett to the per nicious sectionalism sown by the eight or ten companies playing “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” throughout the country. The author is going to superin tend the dramatization himself, collaboring with the playwright in every oetail, who authorizes the News to say that the drama will be stronger than the novel, containing some of the matter that was left out of the novel. Most interesting of all, Mr. Dixon authorizes the News to say that the play will be presented first of all in Atlanta, as the dis tinguished author regards this city as the capital of southern senti ment and culture, and wishes the dramatized version of the great book to make its debut in this famous and historic city, which suffered most from the War, and has emerged most brilliantly from the ashes and desolation of strife. If his plans carry, Mr. Dixon hopes to make the first night of “The Leopard’s Spots” an early event of October or November season at the Grand. Wilkins Convicted. The man who created such ex citement here last Tuesday night and who was captured last Wed nesday morning and placed in jail here to await trial, was given u hearing before Judge Lester last Friday morning for carrying con cealed weapons. He was convict ed and given a.sentence of twelve months at hard labor. He was evidently a bad charac ter of some kind from the number of instruments found on his per son. The name given by him was F. P. Wilkins, of Boliver, Teun. He was held for a number of days in hopes that if he was want ed elsewhere he could be turned over for some greater offense. Another man was arrested at Yatesville and brought here last Wednesday afternoon but he prov ed to be the wrong person. Thq other crook who was seen with Wilkins the night of the trouble has never been captured. A Wholesale House. Mr. J. T.

Baird has been engag ed in the turpentine business in Florida for sometime past and has been very successful. Mr. W. R. Baird is well known to the people having been in business here for a number of years.
