Returning from Macon Tuesday
evening, Miss Martha Waller, Mrs.

half of Alfred Grant, young negro
porter at the Lee-Grant Hotel who
was arrested Tuesday charged with
committing a murder in Bibb county.
According to a long distance tele

THE FITZGERALD LEADER
Second Ward Primary Depc;rtment :
Entertains Parents With Program
The Primary Grades of the second
ward school entertained for “the
mothers” on Friday afternoon at
2:00 o’clock, and quite a large crowd
of patrens numbering between 80 and
100 responded to their invitation.
The guests were received in the
west Hall where delicious punch and
wafers were served by Misses Sarah
Lonkert, Genevieve Rozar, ‘Mildred
Hobgood, Ola Van Wilcox, and Lu
cille Perry.
Music on the new Victrola was a
delightful feature of the entertain
ment. .
Every school in town had a Vic
trola but the Second Ward and real
izing the value of music in a child‘s
education the teachers with the hearty
co-operation of the pupils and in face
of the great financial depression,
signed the note for $ll5 and on the
7th of March received the machine.
lln less than seven weeks they march
‘ed on the campus in circle formation
‘and burned the cancelled note.
~ The money had been raised by the
children’s efforts. Egg hunts, mid
ways, selling candy, sandwiches and
drinks with the help of the teachers.
The untiring work of the third grade
and their teacher deserve especial
mention. l
After being served the visitors were
invited to the First Grade Room by:
Mrs. J. H. Burke and the work of the
little folks examined before they gave
their program, which consisted of a
review of a model days work. l
The constructive work was espe
cially 'good, beautiful designs =on

(b) The Vine on the Garden Wall.
(c) The Bird’'s Nest and Steps of
" Growing Corn,
Their program opened with motion
songs and prayers, and the Scriptur
al alphabet in concert. Then follow
ed the three Birdie Readings:
“A Little Birdie Once Made a
Nest.”
“Who Taught The Birdies?”
“What Does Little Birdie Say?”
Little Heltn Varnedoe delighted
the guests with two readings “Why
The Moon Looks Sad” and “A Home-
Iy Doll.” Another feature of the pro
gram was little Louise Cook’s recita
tion, “The Whole Class gave.” “What
The Chicks Told.” “One, Two Buckle
My Shoe.”
“Bean Porridge Hot” and other
games dear to the children’s hearts.
A snappy little flag drill “Sammy‘s
Flag,” bf 12 children closed the First
Grade’s program,
In the second Grade room the pu
pils of Mrs. Ulric J. Bennett had ar
ranged a Japanese program and car
ried out the Japanese idea in posters,
