that she is one of the beet. Lillian

Good Company Playing.
The Atlanta Theater is unxious that

this stock company with the ordinary

Xa an infinitely superior organization.
The Atlanta Theatei feels that when

Theater is co-operating ho heartily
with The Georgian in the distribution
of free seats.

Dr. Love Joy, "mean* the coming of
the day when child labor will be done
away with, when every little tot shall
have its quota of sunlight and hap

when the little ones will get their
share of the joys of life when the
men and women of this country will
awake to the awful curse of child la
bor ami that time is not far off.”
With a brilliant plea for n bureau

evening session of the congress.
"Europe, to maintain Its armies,
must know of the advent of each
child,’’ Miss Luthrop said, “and if this
information is valuable in maintain
ing armies, how much more valuable
it would be in times of peace."
