Concert Company Closes
Its Engagement in
Exciting Scene.
The Watson-Moredoc Concert
Company which was booked
Monday and Tuesday nights at
the opera house closed its engage¬
ment in the city in rather an ex¬
citing way.
They played to small houses
both nights but gave a very good
program on each occasion and
everything went merrily on till
the troupe began its exit from
the Marguerite Hotel with a view
to boarding the tram. Then it
was that an entire change of
program was enacted.
It seems there had been some
unpleasantness between them and
Mr. Smith, the proprietor, and
patience seems to have been
strained when one of the men of
the troupe had another word and
was immediately hit bv the pro¬
prietor. No sooner was this done
than an avalanche of suit cases
and grips wielded lay the feminine
members descended on the back
of Mr, (Smith. There was an ex
jtjqg ytim.c- for a moment and
yV-HM -'•mff’priny Mwgh.b the
office of Justice of the Peace,
D. M. Rogers, to procure a war¬
rant. The judge required bond
to prosecute before issuing the
warrant. Meantime the train
came and the company left prom¬
ising to return on the morrow,
not to sing, but to prosecute.

Meeting for Good Roads.
The Good Roads club of Geor¬
gia is arranging for a meeting in
every county in the state on
W ashington s birthday. Thu
plan is to have that a good roads
day. February was selected as
the date because it is a legal holi¬
day and all the rural free* delivery
carriers can attend that day.
There are more than 1,500carriers
in Georgia and they are all deep¬
ly interested in the improvement
of the roads. Thiy travel 555,
000 miles a day, and the condi¬
tion of the roads is a verv vital
question with them as well as
with their patrons.
A few carriers in Georgia are
now using motor cycles and they
cover their routes in one-third
the time required for a horse.
This enables them to makes early
deliveries of mail and to got back
with the letters which they have
collected intime to catch mid¬
night trains.
President Fred White, of the
Good Roads club, suggests that
the county commissioners, the
rural carriers, the newspapers,
merchants and others interested
in each county, meet at their res¬
pective county seats and appoint
committeemen for the various
districts and adopt resolutions
supporting their commissioners
in their plans tor road improve¬
ment.
