A SPLENDID PLAY
The members of the Senior class of
Gordon gave an exceptionally fine
play at Gordon auditorium Friday
evening last, it being one of the most
interesting and one of the livest
events of the kind witnessed here in
a long time. The young people put
plenty of spirit in it which kept the
interest of the audience at high pitch
at all times. They acted as if they
meant business and this was the thing
which created and held the sympathy
and interest of the audience from be
ginning until the curtain went down
at the conclusion.
It was a comedy in three acts,
“Kicked Out of College,’’ and the
proceeds of the play go for the bene
fit of “Taps,’ ’the school annual.
Those taking part were Cadets W.
H. Mitchell, H. T. Browder, Emmett
Waller, G. S. Wheeless, W. R. Tur
ner, E. F. Mills, Julius Yarbrough,
L. R. Whidby, R. E. Bridwell, C. K.
Cooper, W. R. Swanson, J. T. Brook
sher, J. T. Cook, M. W. Woodward
and W'alter B. Smith, Jr., assisting
with his guitar and Truman Lifsey
with his banjo; Misses Doris Collier,
Louise King, Eugenia Ilahr, Clifford
Rigdon, Bitsie Fifield, Inez Rumble,
Helen Giles, “Spec” Godwin and Ora
McCarty.
Mr. Smith Rumble also rendered
several pieces on the Saxaphone,
which were appreciated. Everybody
was delighted with all features of
the play.
WANT MUSIC CLUBS
ORGANIZED IN 6TH DIST.
M rs. L. A. Collier, of Barnesville,
director for the Sixth Congressional
District, has received from Mrs. W.
P. Bailey, of Savannah, president of
the Georgia Federation of Music
Clubs, a letter urging the organiza
tion of a music club in every town
and city in the district. That the
matter may reach the women of the
entire district, Mrs. Collier asks the
publication of Mrs. Bailey’s letter,
as follows:
The Biennial at Portland is just
four months off and if we want
Georgia to rise from second place to
first in club extension and win the
three hundred dollars for our treas
ury we must all get together and
make a tremendous effort to reach
the coveted goal.
Your extension chairman, district
junior chairman and president have
been working strenuously since the
last convention, but we still lack a
sufficient number for victory, as we
have succeeded in securing only
twenty-three clubs to date.
Loyal directors, won’t you make
a supreme effort to organize at least
two or three clubs in your district,
either senior or junior, by June Ist?
remembering that you will'be win
ning a distinct honr, not only for
our state, but every club organized
will be a progressive link in the chain
to make Georgia a great musical
center and means improvement in
every form —public school music,
music in industry, in moving pic
tures, in the homes and the people
who come under its influence.
Please make an appeal to every
city in your district, no matter how
small, for wherever there is an en
thusiastic music lover and teacher
you have the nucleus for a beginning.
Do not be discouraged if you fail at
first *but remember that persever
ence with determination back of it
always wins in the end.

COURT IN SESSION
The March Term of Lamar Supe
rior court met Monday with Judge
G. Ogden Persons presiding and the
new solicitor, Col. Frank Willingham,
looking after the interests of the
state in all criminal matters.
The grand jury was organized by
the selection of Mr. J. S. Milner as
foreman and Mr. J. T. Wooten as
clerk, Mr. T. J. Hutchinson being se
lected as bailiff. Judge Persons de
livered a forceful charge to the jury
in which he dwelt upon the duties
and responsibilities of jurors, charg
ing them with necessity for keeping
secret what takes place in the jury
room. He dealt at length with the
enforcement of the prohibition law,
showing the evil of the manufacture
and sale of whisky, the source of so
much of our criminal business. It
was a strong charge, such as should
deeply impress men who are called
upon to discharge so important a
duty.
The- grand jury returned Monday
a bill for murder against Mr. Kirby
S. Goen, who has been in jail for sev
eral months, for killing his brother,
Mr. J .W. Goen. The case will like
ly be called for trial next Monday,
when the criminal docket will be
taken up.
Several civil cases have been dis
posed of this week, one of the most
important of which was the case of
Mr. J. S. Littlejohn, for his son, Mr.
Asbury Littlejohn, and for himself in
the- loss of the services of his son,
due to the automobile accident at
Milner in 1922, the jury returning a
verdict of $5,000.00 for the son and
$1,000.00 for Mr. Littlejohn.
There have been a number of other
cases disposed of during the present
term.
SHERIFF ELLIOTT
RETURNS HOME
Sheriff Z. T. Elliott, who had been
at a sanitarium in Atlanta for some
weeks, returned home Monday after
noon. Although he is yet weak from
his recent operation he is rapidly re
covering and expects soon to be fully
recovered.
Sheriff Elliott’s hosts of friends
are rejoicing with him in his return
and the prospect of an early and com
plete recovery.
PROHIBIT SKATING IN
THE BUSINESS SECTION
Mr. Editor: —Isn’t there an ordi
nance on record in Barnesville pro
hibiting children from skating in the
business section? If there is not
there should be one passed imme
diately, as there is great danger of
some child running in front of an au
tomobile in the street and great dan
ger of some pedestrian being run
over by the children skating on the
sidewalk.
Let’s have skating stopped down
town before we are sorry.
