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.

Select Entertainment.
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.
