The Milkmaids’ Convention.
Under the supervision of Miss
Helen Long, this novel corps of
entertainers held in tense delight
a large audience on Tuesday even
ing last. Rollicking Comedy was
in high feather, and held both of
his laughing sides, while Dull Care
crept clear out of town, abashed
and defeated.
This sparkling success was given
by twenty-five lovers of laughter.
The mock pathos was irresistible,
the humor in the local hits was
fine, and all the arrows at poorly-
conducted conventions found the
desired goal.
Miss Long was the ideal leader,
and thceuplionious, sonorous tones
of the classic cow-bell invariably
induced order among the lasses of
the milking pail.
Mrs. Z. Greene was spicy and
original, and shook tin* social pep
perbox of retort to finely telling
purpose. “If you Imd found her
without an answer, you would
have found her without a tongue.”
The costumes of the milkmaids
were studies in the antique, and

g
N. J. Mniierieb local manager ol
the Southern Bell Telephone Co. is
tintliorit\ for the information that
bis company will begin nt an curly
date to thoroughly overhaul and
improve the Newnan system. This
information is given out following
the recent v isit to Newnan of .Sup
erintendent Marpin, of Atlanta,
who investigated conditions here
and determined upon the improve
ments which will la* made.
The work of improvement will
begin as soon as material for the
purpose can be shipped to New
nan. An entire change in the sys
tem will la* made and a system
similar to that used in Atlanta will
be installed. This will mean the
removal of old ’phones and the
placing of new ’phones in the busi-
ness house or residence of every
Newnan patron of the local sys
tem. Hundreds of feet of new
cable will la* strung on the prin
cipal streets and all the lines in the
city will be placed in lirst, class
condition. Improvements will la*
made in tlie central office and an
j adequate and efficient, force of
| operators placed in charge of the
new system. In fact, the Soul hern
Bell promises to give Newnan a
! telephone system and service that
will equal in every respect the sys
tem and sen iee given Allautn and
the large cities of the South.
In addition to the improvements
to la* made in the local system,
several country telephone lines
will lie constructed nt an curly
date. These include lilies to Ros-
coe and Welcome and to the plan-
tat ions of I. I*. Bradley and I*. L.
