LETT OF DUBLIN WERE THE
GUESTS OF HONOR AND MADE
SPLENDID ADDRESSES.
The regular meeting of the Kiwanis
Club last week coming on the 17th,
St. Patrick’s Day, and being unable
to secure any Irish speaker for the
occasion, the club did the next best
thing, and invited two Dublinites,
P. S. Twitty and N. G. Bartlett, as
special guests for the evejiing.
Manager Ombe'g had the dining
room of the New Vidalia attractive
ly decorated in green, with shamrock
favors at every plate. The program
was given an Irish flavor by each
member being called on to relate the
best Irish joke he had ever heard.
W. O. Donovan plead guilt)' to be
ing Irish and said he was proud of
it, and paid a splendid tribute to the
contribution Irishmen had made to
the freedom of the world.
The addresses of Messrs. Twitty
and Bartlett were greatly enjoyed,
Mr. Twitty making a plea for co
operation on the part of the four
Kiwanis Clubs in the 12th District —
Vidalia. Dublin, Eastman and Hawk
insville—in the upbuilding of our
section.
Mr. Bartlett, the live-wire secre
tary of the Dublin Chamber of Com
merce, made an earnest plea for the
business men of Vidalia to do every
thing in their power to promote the
prosperity of the farmers of this sec
tion, his address making a profound
impression.
Congressman Larsen Coming.
Congressman W. W. Larsen, who
is at his home at Dublin enjoying a
brief rest before returning to Wash
ington for the extra session of con
gress, has accepted an invitation to
be the guest of the club for the meet
ing this week.

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
4
That Mighty Serviceable Truck
i
i * ■ , »
There is this about the Ford One-Ton truck that keeps it growing in popularity, namely, the good
reports which the owners of Ford trucks spread abroad among their friends and acquaintances.
There is no testimony of merit quite so' strong as the testimony of personal experience. It is
not long after a Ford one-ton truck is sold in a community until other sales of the same truck fol
low, because “its works do follow it.”
Well, “there’s a reason.” Yes, there are many reasons. The Ford one-ton truck was built to
serve and to satisfy. It carries all the Ford virtues: lightness in weight, simplicity in design, strength
in construction, flexibility and durability—besides it has the lowest first cost and brings the lowest
operating in the truck market.
It is just as useful, just as necessary on the farm as in the city. It is just as necessary to the
tradesmen, manufacturers, contractors, commission men and others in the city as it is necessary for
such concerns to have a place to do business in—in other words, the Ford truck io a general utility,
and because of this fact and the further fact of its universal economy it is in a class by itself.
We will be glad to take your order fqr one or more Ford trucks and will give you fairly prompt
delivery. You will likewise have the assurance ,of that reliable and economical after-service which ,
is such a valuable factor in the service ot'i Ford cars. Price, truck chassis $545.00, f. o. b. Detroit, in
eluding demountable rims and pneumatic tires.

(DYNAMITERS CAPTURED
ON LAST SUNDAY.
County Game Warden W. J. Hin
son and Solictor c.f the City Court
I. W. Rountree captured five dyna
miters last Sunday in the Ohoopee
‘ river.
Mr. Hinson had in some manner
got on to the fact that there was
going to be some dynamiting done
| Sunday and, together with Mr. Roun
tree, he appeared on the scene where
he had learned the devilment was go
ing to be done. Concealing them
selves near by they did not have to
wait long before five men appeared
and began the work. Mr. Hinson
waited until some of the dynamite
had been exploded in the water and
some fish caught, then he proceeded
to arrest the violators. He deprived
them of the fish they had on hand
and several sticks of dynamite which
they had prepared for use.
Judge Kirkland and Solicitor Roun
tree will give these fellows their at
tention at the next term of the city
court, when the finances of the coun
ty will again be increased to a con
siderable degree.--Swainsboro For

Gowns of surpassing beauty are

mount production, ‘Forbidden Fruit,”
which comes to tne Colonial Theatre
soon. They were designed by Clare
West.
Agnes Ayres, Kathlyn Wiliams and
Shannon Day play the principal fem

\ the major portion of the gowns, neg

Perhaps the most striking gown is

Miss Ayres wears through much of

fashionable type. Os another type
are the gorgeous costumes of another

important part of the story.
