FRIDAY
EDITION
Official Organ Ben Hill County and City of Fitzgerald
SHOWS OPEN 11
N
The Great Greenwood Show
will be in Fitzgerald on Monday,
next, opening for one solid week
on the grounds nexi to the Car
negie Library.
The Greenwood Show comes
hove after a remarkably success
fui week at Waycross, Ga., where
the largest crowds ever seen at a
tented performance greeted the
Gicenwood players each and ev
ery night. r
The show carries sixty-five peo
ple, a band J{ fitteen solo musi
cians, and the vast tented pavil
ion comfortably seats five thou
sand people.
For the benefit of those who
have wondered why the advertis
ing of the Chero-Cola Company
appears on all the printed mat
ter that lias been lavishly display
ed in the store windows, and hand
Lills for the past ten days, the
management announces that the
Chero-Cola Company corntrols
the exclusive advertising: rivi
lege on the show, and that is the
reason why the admission price is
so low.
He explains that ordinarily, a
compaay o’ high ciass perfurnicrs
numbering as many as this show
carries, would have to charge at
least a dollar to make ends meet,
but that the great burden of the
expense of this show is borne by
the advertising depatment of the
Chero-Cola Show, and for that
reason the remarkably low price
of fifteen cents for adults and ten
cents for children prevails.
4 ‘lt is due to the efforts of Mr.
.i. J. Culberson that the Green
wood Show is coming to Fitzger
ald. .
The first performance will be
given on next Monday night at
eight-tl%'ty, and the box office
opens at seven-thirty.

COTTON SEED PRICES UP
TO $56 AT THOMASVILLE
‘Thomasviile, Sept: G —Any
where from $4l to $36 per ton is
the way cotton seed has bheen sell
ing in Thomas county in the past
tew days and the inditations are
that the product may go still
higher. With the short crop of
cotton the supply of seed will, of
course, be short also, and the
nrices will probably reach higher
than have ever been known here.
