Nearly s,mu) square miles of Georgia territory, purged of the destructive cattle tick, will be released in a few months from quarantine, imposed in the course of eradication work. The territory embraces twelve coun ties in Which improved methods of eradication work have been conducted by the co-operation of the county au thorities and the Federal bureau of an imal Industry. Dr. E. W. Higlibert, in charge of the Georgia office of the Fed eral bureau, thinks the work has been productive of satisfactory results. Tick eradication will be the central feature of the annual meeting of the Georgia Dairy and Live Stock associa tion. to be held in Athens January 15 and 16, notice of which came to Dr. Hlghbert today. At the meeting an ef fort will be made to extend the work into other counties of the state In which improved methods have not been adopted. Thirteen counties, besides the twelve to be released, are working toward eradication of the pest, which, It is es timated, has resulted in the loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars to Georgia stock growers. The remainder, says Dr. Hlghbert, are fields for educa tional evangelism.

LEON WINS NEW LAURELS IN “FINISHING FANNY” Ida St. Leon in "Finishing Fanny" fur- 1 , nlshed a big surprise to the regular J theatergoers at the Atlanta last night. It is true that one could see that the act ing of tills winsome little woman in "Pol ly of the Circus" was as good as the lim itations of the weakly sentimental play would allow, but that did not entirely foretell what excellence and wit and cleverness was coming In "Finishing Fun ny.” The production, to say the whole truth in the first few lines, is not only first-class in every particular, but ex cels by far half the big shows with 'fa mous stars that come to Atlanta. Little Miss St. Leon is exceedingly clever, and she has a splendid company, well balanced and individually good, tc the least pari. Add to the fact that the company Is good the equally impor tunitv“, et EL? 1 ,ht ' 5 :ir " K'ven the oppor tunitj to plas one of the most sparkling and amusing little comedies that the Playgoer is privileged to see now and again, and one can imagine the delightful surprise sprung by Miss St. Leon and company on last night s audience. "Finishing Fanny" is just us amusing as Blanche Bates and "Nobody's Widow. ' it is as well acted too, from start to fin ish and from leading lady to the valet the latter, indeed, receiving an involun tary and appreciative tribute for himself alone, on account of his fine character ?'°L k , ’ n a small part - Tf >ere are four acts to Finishing Fanny.” but they are short —or they seem short, so full of wittv lines and Interesting situations are they. There seems to be no need of any pruning hook for the play, which is one of those satis- smg productions where no mock senti ment or heroics intrude on the clever hu mor of the drama, with its underlying sense of truth and wholesomeness. It preaches, but by suggestion, rather than by word of mouth. The people a< t like human beings, not, like crazy women, sobbing out their sorrows to the world; nor silly men, spouting heroics right and left. Little Miss St. Leon is to be con gratulated that she has emerged from the silliness of "Polly of the Cireus” into the bright common-sense cleverness of "Fin ishing Fanny." she has scope for l,et talents, which are remarkable in view of her extreme youth, and which promise a 1 big Broadway success for her in the fu ture—the near future, probably. Miss St. Leon's companj is equal to ' that surrounding any of the well-known stars of the stage. Each is most satis factory,- and it is hard to say which is , belter. Arth;-: Buchanan as L'aspt i- Eer t: ;n is a splendid charamer ' tor. ltol>- ert Kelly as Frank Brownell is especial- ; ly good, and William H. Sums as Felthum | Bellamy-is clever indeed. (The word clever occurs frequently, but it is v. ry apt In application to "Finishing Fanny" and to those who present “Finishing Fan ny.”) The regular theatergoers who have judged Miss St. Leon from “Poll) of the Circus" can not afford to miss her this i time. She gees so far beyond her former success it would be ati injustice to re- 1 member that against her. Os course those who liked the little lady in that play | w ill 'Just love" her as Fanny. Every I one fn last night's audience fell in love with her before the hero came to him self.
