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 the bats were far beyond the vvild- Country,” est dreams of the Parisian millin ers.

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.
