In the Albany Herald’s popu¬
larity contest, which closed last
week, Mitchell county children
took three prizes. John It. Pin¬
son, Jr., of Bacon ton, was awarded
the third prize, a #100 Gold Bond.
Luciie Black, of Flint, stood fourth
and was awarded a #25 Gold Bond.
Mattie Norris, of this city, was
sixth and was awarded a #25 Gold
Bond. All the contestants were
children and they made a lively
campaign for the prizes.
Dr. J. T. Boykin and S. S. En
gleman, representatives of the
Cleveland Institute of Medicine
and Surgery, who were here a
short time ago, were arrested in
Moultrie last week for failing to
register their diploma as the law
of Georgia requires. It developed
that only Dr. Boykin was a
licensed physician. He
a license to practice in the state
but acknowledged that he had ue
glected to register with the ordi
nary of Colquitt county. The
matter was dropped when the visi
tors agreed to pay'all costs in
matter.
Install Plant in Thornasville.
The Bludwine Bottling Co., of
this city, fiuding it necessary to in¬
crease their facilities for supplying
the rapidly increasing demand for
their popular beverages, are put¬
ting in a plant in Thornasville and
Mr. R. L. McRee has moved to
that city to operate it.
The company has purchased the
exclusive right to manufacture
Bludwine in this section of the
state and for several months the
plant located here has been over¬
run with orders. Recently they
decided to establish a plant at
Thornasville, where shipping facili¬
ties are better for handling out-of
town orders.
Mr. H. F. Harrell will have
charge of the Camilla plant and he
expects to have his hands full, as
the trade in and around Camilla
is sufficient to keep it running full
time.
The X. Y. Z. Club.
The X. Y. Z. Club was delight
fully entertained by Miss Claude
Davis on last Friday night in honor
of her visitor, Miss Fender, of
Stockton.
Hallowe’en features were promi¬
nent throughout the evening.
The mysterious bundles brought
by each young lady aroused great
curiosity in the minds of the young
men, but later proved to be cos¬
tumes for the ghosts who haunted
the house between 9 and 11 o’clock,
puzzling the young men as to their
identity. Mr. Glenn Hearn was
the most successful in guessing
who they were and was rewarded
with a good, old corn cob pipe.
Lunch was served from a swing¬
ing pot by a silent old witch, who
was none other than Miss Kate
Holton.
Bobbing for and biting at apples
that were suspended in each door
were sources of much merriment.
Hallowe’en refreshments, con¬
sisting of fruits, were served.
Mission Workers Here Sunday.
Rev. If. G. Buchholz, state evan¬
gelist of the Baptist church, was in
the city last Sunday and addressed
a large congregation at 3:30 in the
afternoon at the Baptist church.
The subject of his discourse was
missions and he spoke eloquently
in behalf of the cause.
Mr. Buchholz is assured of a
large congregation whenever he
comes to Camilla, he having con¬
ducted the protracted meeting
here last spring, a year ago, and
won a high place in the esteem of
all who heard him by his earnest
efforts for the cause he represents.
After Mr. Buehholz’s address,
Mrs. \V. J. Neal, who is in the em¬
ploy of the State Mission Board of
the Baptist Church, spoke to the
Woman’s Missionary Society on the
subject of missions.
She is the wife of the author of
the prohibition bill, and is a very
interesting talker.
Mrs. Llewellyn Norris has been
spending several days in Newton
this week.
Mr. Clayton Carter and Miss
Ruth Wilson had a rather exciting
experience last Sunday afternoon,
while driving on the Newton road,
several miles west of the city. The
horse they were driving became
frightened at an approaching auto¬
mobile and in plunging around,
fell into a ditch overturning the
buggy and throwing Miss Wilson
out, who received several cuts
about the face and hands. Mr.
Carter escaped with a slight shak
ing up. The buggy was wrecked
and Mr. D. Y. Thompson, who was
driving the automobile, brought ;
the couple to town.
