MACON, GA.; Dec. 18.—In the fu
neral today of Captain Warren P.
Moseley, who was the oldest member of

be literally covered with medals, many

BOY AVENGES ALLEGED
INSULT TO HIS SISTER
LAKE CHARLES. LA Dee. IS.—
Sosthene Artago, aged 56, was shot and
instantly killed bj William Ardoin, a
fourteen-year-old boy, because of an
alleged insult to the lad's seventeen
year-old sister.
"I hated to do it. but 1 had to." the
boy told the police.

Committee Has Hard Task in (
Naming “Two Prettiest and
Brightest” Young Women.
t
To be designated "the two prettiest c
and brightest” girls in a Sunday school a
in which are scores of pretty and bright f
girls is an honor calculated to bring a \
great big, broad smile to the faces of r
most any two girls. Such a distinction
is borne proudly today by two members r
of tlie Woodward Avenue Baptist Sun- 1
day school—Miss Ira Jarrell and Miss ,
Edna Still—who also are members of (
the Girls High school. |
Misses Jarrell and Still are chosen
by a committee of eight men of the
Sunday school, known as “the myste
rious committee,” for the reason that j
their names have not been made public. (
When it was determined a few days t
ago to raise a special fund In the school 5
the movers agreed on a pleasant sur
prise for the donors —blue ribbons of '
honor would be pinned on each by the
two prettiest and brightest girls in the
j Sunday school. Then came the problem
of choosing the two girls, and this task
finally was left to a secret committee of
eight men.
<’ornmitteemen willing to serve were
not easily found, but, after many ex
cuses had been heard, the eight men
finally were corralled and sent out “to
do their duty.”
I It was no easy job by any means, but,
after a thorough canvass of the school
and a careful scrutiny of the many
pretty girls, the committee reached a
verdict.
Miss Jarrell and Miss Still then were
notified that they had been chosen.
Sunday morning the two smiling girls
were called to the platform by Super
intendent C. H. Bolton, of the Sunday
I school, and took their stand beside a
I table bearing a great heap of blue rib
lion bows. As each donor then came
forward with a contribution, the two
girls pinned on a bow. And that they
came fast is attested by the fact that
100 persons left the building wearing
bows.
Miss Jarrell is a daughter of Mrs.
Mittie E. Jarrell and lives at 539 Wood
ward avenue. Miss Still, who is a
daughter of Luther H. Still, lives at 628
Woodward avauue.

GEORGIA & FLORIDA
ROAD MAY PURCHASE
SOUTH GEORGIA LINE
CORDELE, GA.. Dec. 18.—Reports
that have become current in railroad
circles over the state that the Georgia
and Florida railway had purchased the
Georgia Southwestern and Gulf line,
were denied by officials of the latter
road in Cordele today.
It is believed that the rumor origi
nated over the fact that the G. & F.
has held an option for some time for
the purchase of the South Georgia and
West Coast railway, running 77 miles
from Adel. Ga., to Hampton Springs,
Fla.
Though it is reported that this option
expired on last Monday, it is stated in
a communication from Adel today that
the G. & F. is still figuring with J. W.
Olds, of Quitman, % who is at the head of
the South Georgia and West Coast,
with the view of taking over this line.
A branch line of the G. A- F. connects
with the other road at Adel.
