Yesterday was one of the most
pleasant of the holidays of the present
season for the boys and girls at the
Georgia Indtistrlnl home on account of
the excellent dinner prepared for them
by the ladles auxiliary of that Insti
tution. A number of prominent guests
had been Invited and were present to
gether with President Willingham,
Manager Gunn and members of Jho la
dles auxiliary committee.
Among those present were: Dr. J.
O. llarrlson. pastor of Tattnall Square
Rapt 1st church; Rev. W. !!. Frasier,
pastor of Tattnall Square Presbyterian
church; Mr. and Mrs. Flew Holt. Miss
Kate Mumford. Mr. and Mrs. C. B.
Kllle, Rev. and Mrs. Rohler Walker
and Rabbi and Mrs. Witt.
The ladles of the auxiliary had made
the occasion a special one for the boys
and girls as well 'as the visitors and
the repast was probable the most ex
cellent and abundant ever furnished a
the home. Kverythlng was specially
prepared for the children and they
greatly enjoyed the day.
After the dinner the children under
training In the home gave an exhibit
Ion full of entertainment for the visit
ors. For this occasion the visitors and
members of the home were gathered
In the chapel. During the afternoon
there was most excellent music furn
lahed by Prof. Gooding and the boys*
band.
Manager Gunn *wi.. present and
manifested strong enthusiasm In the
beginning of the work and was fully
nwake to the responsibilities noon tp
devolve upon him. He left shortly af
ter the noon hour yesterday for At
lanta where he goes to bring his fam
lly to Macon. He will return tomor
row and will on Monday take active
charge.
Mr. Gunn will be Immediately en
gaged with the law which was-passed
lust summer providing for an appro
priatlon of the sum of $60 annually
to the home from the counties of the
state for each child taken In. A sum
of $5,000 or $6,000 can be gathered
every year for the support of the
hltdren In this manner. The fund will
be badly needed and full advantage of
the action of the legislature will ho
taken as soon as the manager can be
engaged with the business of the
home.
The boys band will be out on an
other trip by the middle of Janliary
and It Is now expected that* they will
be In the state of Florida for ten days
or two weeks. It Is stated that the
musical concerts now given by the
boys will ensure them an audience
wherever they go and In Florida they
will expect as profitable trips as, In
this state.
President K. J. Willingham will
have an Important financial report to
make at the meeting of the trustees
this afternoon when arrangements will
be made to turn over accounts to Man
ager Gunn.

The woods are full of "so-called'
remedies tor baldness.
You may call anything In creation a
remedy, but to use them Is like lock
ing the stable after the horse Is stolen.
Baldness and Dandruff are caused by
& germ—If you don’t kill the germ, the
germ will kill the hair.
Scientists have labored with the prob
lem of a preventative for Baldness for
many years.
Newbro's Herplclde Is the product of
a modern Idea, and will cure Dandruff
and prevent Baldness, because germs
cannot exist when you apply Herplclde.
Herplclde Is a valuable hair dress
ing and scalf disinfectant as well as a
cure for Dandruff.

With the pausing of Christmas and
the continued . cold weather In the
northeast and northwest the rush of
the wealthy for the winter resorts of
Florida has begun In earnest. Hun
dreds held back from beginning their
Journey Southward until the 25th of
December had passed but Christmas
over and the Interest In new year’s day
rather slight nothing Is keeping the
wealthy back and the rush for tho
sunshine and warmth Is on.
The tourists of the East are now
speeding through Macon on their way
South. The majority go on to the va
rious Florida resorts but quite a num
ber stop before reaching that state and
pass the winter on Georgia soli. The
tourists from the West pass through
Macon on their way down, touohlng at
Chattanooga and Atlanta.
The railroad officials of Macon re
port that Jhelr lines arc handling large
numbers of the tourists and the rush
Is yet to come. Special cars are being
operated from the larger Western cit
ies all the way through. A few pri
vate cars have already passed south
ward.
