Proceeding!! ol Weekly Meeting at ■ Ilrewton-Parker Institute, Ml. Vernon w; (©' Kg ■ • ,§M © 1 The Damon Literary Society held its regular weekly meeting in the auditorium Saturday, No vember 7th. The society was called to order by the President, Walden Downs. After a song by the society and prayer by the Chaplain, Mr. Chas. Ricks, the roll was called and the minutes read and adopted, after which the following program was suc cessfully rendered: Piano duet Tyra Stanley and Edna Lee Benton. Current events—Erin McAr thur. The third number was a debate on the question of the day—wo man suffrage. The affirmative was represent ed by Eloise Adams and Alma Smith. The negative was de fended by Trya Stanley and Eu nice Burkhalter. The debate was very interest ing because of the subject and in view of the fact that it was argued by girls. While the judges, Miss Alma Stapler, Prof. Batts and A. S. Johnson retired to make up their decision Marie McQueen gave a piano solo. The decision of the judges was in favor of the affirmative. On account of the absence of some of the members who were to take part, the program was made short. After a business meeting held in the fourth grade room, the society adjourned.

Cunningham, a Georgia farmer operating a ten-horse plow farm at Midland, Ga., came to Colum bus with his wagon loaded with home produts. He said he had diversified this year and the cot ton prices had not affected him very much.

The appearance of the De- Koven Male Quartet attheßrew ton-Parker Institute last Thurs day evening was a rare treat for a large audience. These men are artists, and measure up to the highest standard of excellence as entertainers, having a national reputation. They carry fun, sunshine and benefit with them. The varied program covered a wide range, and each number brought forth an encore. They are trained musicians, vocal and instrumental, besides real actors. This was the first number of the season, and the local man agement is to be congratulated on having secured the DeKovens for the opening event. This will be followed by other entertain ments of equal merit, and the public is urged to patronize each j and all performances coming un ! der the auspices of the Alkahest Lyceum System. To My Friends: I desire to thank those who so loyally stood by me in the recent election for county commissioner. I hope those who voted for me will never regret having given me their support. Those who op posed me I have the very kindest feelings for, and will endeavor to be a servant of the people. Your servant, J. L. Lowrey. Many Hoboes Reach Atlanta By Freight. Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 10.—Like the swift flying swallows, an other big rotary bird is descend ing on Atlanta in swams. He belongs to the genus hobo and is easily distinguished by his antipathy to work, soap and ex ercise. Every freight train which rolls into the yards bears one or two of these unticketed passengers, and the police patrol is kept busy picking them off the rods and hauling them to the station. At lanta has plenty of work for this class of unemployed, and several dozen visitors are now engaged in making little rocks out of big ones on the stockade property. The hobo, like the idle rich, turns southward with the first frosts. He winters in Louisiana and Florida, spends his fall and spring in the pleasant climate of the middle west, and hides him self far north in the summer. Just now the height of the an nual autumn migration has been reached. MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, NOV. 12 1914. Report of Examining Committee.
