BARNESVILLE, GA., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1903. THE REGITAL A SUCCESS. THK AVEATHKK BAD BUT ATTEN DANCE WAS GOOD. THK PROGRAM SPLENDID. The recital Friday evening at the opera house by Rev. Robert Hugh Morris, under the auspices of the Knights of Pythias, was an enjoyable entertainment. The weather was quite disagreeable, but there was a good crowd pre sent. In a few appropriate words, Dr. J. A. Corry introduced Rev. Mr. Morris, who was the princi pal attraction for the evening. The entertainment was a genuine success and there has been a gen eral desire to have it repeated sometime soon, when it could be more largely attended. All of the numbers were enjoyed, but those of a dramatic character were particularly fine. Mr. Mor ris certainly possesses ability of a high order and his efforts will be appreciated by any critical audi ence. All who attended wei*e highly pleased, and are under obligation to the Knights of Pyth ias for the pleasure of the occa sion. A vocal solo by Mrs. Mary Bow den Smith was a pleasant feature of the entertainment. A nice little sum was realized from the entertainment, which goes into the K. of P. treasury. Will Begin Business. On the 16th of this month the firm of Collier & Ogletree will commence operations in the build ing now occupied by Mr. W. K. Wilkinson, on which they have secured a lease.

The Immune Rank of Vaccinated Brotherhood. A lodge of the above secret order was formed in this city about two weeks since and a number of the brethren are undergoing the de grees necessary to become mem bers of the noble society. The initiation fee is paid by the city and the service perform ed by the physicians of the city, all of whom are now members. It takes about three weeks to finish the course of initiation. None have entirely finished the term, although some think they see their finish. The vaccinated arm is “a thing of beauty and a joy forever,” and woe be unto the person who shall be so careless as to lay ruth less hands upon an afflicted mem ber for vials of wrath shall be poured out upon his or her head, as the case may be. A meeting of the order will be called in a few days, as soon as all the members are able to get out again and officers will be elected, by-laws chosen and so on. Dr. J. A. Corry has been spoken of as chief vaccinator, Mr. D. L. An derson, secretary and treasurer and Mr. Pierce Hammond as main arm (or) bearer. The lodge is one of the most progressive and flourishing in this city and new members are being added every day. The motto of the club is: “We never sleep.” CADETS GET COMMISSION. Gov. J. M. Terrell has issued commissions to the officers of the Gordon Institute Cadets, in accor dance with the provisions of the new military law.

Blanton Institute, which was to have been located at Mt Zion camp grounds, in this county, according to the original plans, will be carried to Zebulon instead.
