No. 231 XT . \ ‘*V 4 Lyceum Attractions Com ing so Douglasville It'll/ Be an Educational Treat for Everybody Believing that good, whole some entertainment is one of the geatest of community builders, a number of public-spirited citi zens have guaranteed the neces sary funds to secure a series of five high class entertainments for Douglasville and vicinity, to take place during the fali and winter, and in order that every one rnay enjoy the educational advantages -f these entertain ments, it has been decided to sell season tickets, good for the full course, at at the ridiculously low price of $1.00 for adults and 50c for school children, and any one of the series is well worth the price charged for the entire sea son. At this price every man, wo man and child in Douglasville and surrounding country should secure tickets. This contract is with the Pied mont Lyceum Association and never have such attractions been offered in Dougiasviile for less tha,. double the money now ask ed. At u meeting Friday of the guarantors and members of the Civic League, it was decided that the ladies of the Civic Leage would conduct the ticket selling campaign and all money raised in excess of $250 should go to them to be used for public, im provements.

This will be the "Winona Enter tainers” consisting of three peo ple, viz.; Miss Josephine Grei- lick, Mr. Burrows Caldwell and Miss Elizabeth Cheney. These are all entertainers of national reputations and this j lumber a- lone is worth the cost of a season ticket, yet there are four more entertainments, equally as good, to follow. See some of the ladies of the the Civic League now and sub scribe for a ticket or call at the Sentinel office. Besides getting more than your money’s worth in refined educational entertain- entertainment for yourself and family you help raise a fund that will be used for public good.

Expression Recital The recital given by Miss Adams, the expression teacher, Momlav evening was thoroughly enjoyed by agood sized audience. Miss Adams proved herself a most capable reader. The audi ence was well pleased with her many selections, both light and heavy, she being repeatedly en cored. She was ably assisted by Miss Neal, the music teacher, who gave a number of both vocal and piano selections, with Mias Louise Duncan, an accomplished Rev. J■ C. Atkinson En ters Army Service No more patriotic act comes to jur knowledge in the present conflict than that of the past r of the local Menthodist Chunh in offering his services t. his country in wha'eyer capacity they could use him. Brother Atkinson greatestanv bitiok was to enlist as a private but owing ti his age, they would not accept him in that capacity but lie lias been accept***! in the Y. M. C. A. work. He is the frist preacher in Georgia to offer his Services in the selected army* Brother Atkinson has never missed an opportunity to defend ids country’s honor, or help in the great Red Cross movement or speak encouraging words to enlisting for service. A great contrast to those who have clone everything possible to interfere with the govermeot’s plans Brother Atkinson numbers his friends here by his acquaintan ces, and while they regret to see him leave they rejoice to know that in going he does so with the greatest degree of pleasure, in the realization of a duty perfor med in service to his country and his fellow men. This is patriot ism of high order. Good Investments That municipal bonds of the state of Georgia are among the very best investments of this character to be found in America is shown by the fact that the Masons’ Annuity, a benefit order for Masons only, having its Su preme Lodge in Atlanta, has chosen them as the safest and surest protection for the „ widows and children of Masons who are receiving annuities from the order. Out of $809,000 invested by the Masons’ Annuity in municipal bonds, all but $25,000 is invested in bonds of Georgia municipal ities, which are governed in is suing bonds by the constitution of the state, requiring two-thirds of all the registered voters of a municipality to approve munici pal bonds before they can be issued, aud which limits the total bond issue by any municipality to a very small percentage of its total taxable values. These con stitutional provisions make Geor gia municipal bonds perhaps the safest investment on the Ameri- ip market Hear Him Sunday Dr. Goo. W. Young will add- dress the people of Douglasvi le and sourrounding country in a great mass meeti g at the Math hodist Church next Sunday aft ernoon at 3 30 o’clock. As was said in last weeks Ten- ntinel the Boy Scouts hannle the advertising and for this service are awarded an American flag 4 by 6 Let The ihree patrols in the Scout Troop will contest for the flag, under the following p'an; They will visit every home and every place of business in fact see every body in town and sur rounding country furnishing every adult a folder containing the songs for the occasion. To this folder is attached a ticket with the name of the Patrol upon it. Those attending the mass mee ting are requested by the Scouts tojbring the folder and join in the singing, when at the door tear off the ticket and give to the Scout at the door. Those coming from a distance who have failed to get a ticket will be furnished one at the door. When the tickets have ali been taken in they will be counted and the Patrol bringing out the largest numb, r of people (adults) will be awarded the flag for the troop. The winning Patrol will be color bearer for the troop on drill days. Help the Scouts by hearing Dr. Young. Sincerely, J. C. Atkinson Subjects for Criticism. There ere three thtnge no man can 4o to the satisfaction of other men— make love, poke the Are, and run a paper,—United lltna Worker*’ Jour* Lois Mill You would hardly know our end of town now. Everything is on the move (except some of our automobiles.) The officials ire making considerable improve- nents, with new office going up and an a idition to the warehouse being built, besides a new coat of paint of many colors adorns all the houses. It seems that thiscomrany believes in keeping abreast of the times, or, to use the everyday expression: ‘ ‘Strict ly up-to-date.” The Sunday ,choo! is good and we hope to make it better; The Geer Con cert Band is progressing nicely under the leidership of Mr. Keown. Our literary school opened up with a good attendance under the efficient management of Misses Burton and Dake. We hope every parent and every child wilt work for the good of the school, Parents can do a wonderful amount of good in the proper training of children, by- co-operating with the teacher. I’m just old-fashioned enough to think it a good thing for par ents to visit the school and talk over with the teacher the prog ress and prospects of their child. Do this, and I’m sure the teacher will meet you more than half wav and be glad to discuss any question with you. Mrs. Joe Ragan is very sick at this writing. Mrs. Duke has also been sick for some time. Mr. Burns and Mr. Keown made a trip to Atlanta Tuesday. J. L. Cooper’s family are back with us again, and J. L. was sure glad they came, for he had been here some three weeks without them. Mr .Keaton, I appreciate your kind words of welcome, and am always glad to read your inter esting letters in the Sentinel. I note you are in the junk business. Now, ws have a class in our Sun day school called the “scrap iron” class, and I want to ask you to please not buy up our whole class of scrap iron and sell it for junk, for we are trying to mold the "scrap iron” of hu manity into an armor plate that will stand againat the rebuffs and disappointments of a sinful, troublesome world. "Save the scraps of everything,” should be our motto, Yes, let us try and save thelscraps of humanity too. Bill Blue. Henry Landrum Dead .
