Great Southern Minstrels Coming
Soon Anil Grand Incnhonco of
Grand Council to Visit Here.
i
Chappell tribe of Rod Men are plan
ning big things in the near future and
arrangements have been made for two
great events for the benefit of the or
der and the upbuilding of the tribe. In
th e near future the Great lncohnnee,
of tho Grand Council of the UniUd
States will visit Milledgevifio and give
a lecture on Rcdmamihip. There is no
doubt but that this will be quite inter
esting to the members of the order.
However, the greatest of all alfairs
over attempted by the Red Men here
will ho the coming of tho Great South
ern Minstrels, which have toured Eu
rope and spent many years in the north
and east. This troupe will perform at
the opera house under the auspices of
the Red Men and there is no doubt but
that it will be interesting in every way
to the general public. The dates for
both these events will be announced
later.
Splendid Beginning For Elegant
Confederate Monument Made Here
You’ll like SWEETHEART.
WHAT ARE YGu.pniNir, TO HELP?
This Space is valuable, too valuable to lose. For
quite awhile The News has been endeavoring to stim
ulate interest in agricultural development by giving its
best positions to the cause. Agriculture mean every
thing to tho country at large, but there other questions
in the story of progress.
Miiledgeville must progress. That’s a settled
question. Men who do tilings must receive the sanc
tion and support of the people, especially if the work
is for the good of the people. You can take the Geor
gia Normal and Industrial College, it was made pos
sible by the aggressive work of a few men, aided bv
the people, bonds were issued and it was brought to
Miiledgeville. The Georgia Military College bairacks
were erected by bonds of tins city. The Baldwin county
court house was erected by county bonds. Street im
provement in this citv would lie easy with an issue of
bonds. The water of this city should he good to drink
with safety and there is a way to provide it.
But Baldwin county and Milledp’eville are no
longer down in the time worn ruts. Things are not
going from bad to worse. An era of unexampled pro
gress and prosperity is on ahead and folk are going to
push it forward.
Reverting to the original theme, next Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday the Sixtli District Agricul
tural School will he held here and prominent speakers
will he present. Let the public of this city and county
attend and get new* inspiration for their work. Next,
please notice the announcement of the prizes for corn
growing in this section. Join the procession and real
ly do something for this great section.
From Foiirfeen Lending Business Men, Daughters oi Confederacy Obtain
• Sufficient Funds lo Start Active Canvass For Memorial.
Mille Igeville is one of the few cities j
of the state, and indeed of the whole
south, that does not possess a splendid
monument to the memory of the Con
federacy. And, too, Miiledgeville, was
the capital of the greatest state in the
Confederate Statos of America. Again,
it was levelled by tho opposing hosts of
the north and is rich in legend, song
and story.
The United Daughters of the Con
federacy, aided by the enterprising and
patriotic busine38 men of Miiledgeville
and the substantial citizens of Baldwin
county and tho state of Georgia, have
determined upon redeeming the city of
old and erect here a boautiful shaft.
Fourteen business men have pledged
themselves for $25.00 and The News
is authorized to open a subscription
list for the continuance of the work.
Can’t you join the work, already so
wcdl started, and add something, from
five cents, upwards being acceptable?
Those aiding up to date are:
Julius A. Horne,
A. J Carr,
E. E. Bell,
Sain’l A. Evans,
John T. Allen,
C. H. Bonner,
J. E. Pottle,

and the matter will be referred to its
proper channels. Those who are in
clined to contribute, but cannot do so
at this time, may signify their desire
and designate a time they can contri
bute and arrangements will be made
accordingly as what is desired now is

coma forward and help it out.
