Esmeralda Delighted A
Large Audience.
Esmeralda, a comedy in four
acts, presented by the pupils of
Miss Maggie Belle Thaxton’s class
in expression delighted a large
audience at the opera house Fri¬
day night.
The comedy was full of humor
ous situations, at the same time
giving ample opportunity for a
display of ability in depicting tin
more serious phases of life.
The ability of Miss Thaxton
was shown in the appropriate se¬
lections for the several characters
as well as in the way in which the
several parts were rendered.
The audience was greatly pleas¬
ed and the universal comment
was one of praise.
Miss Thaxton has given sever¬
al entertainments and recitals
since organizing a class here a
year ago. There is tone and abil¬
ity evident in every presentation
she gives, and her severe! enter¬
tainments have been most enjoy¬
able occasions.

Organize Auto Club.
The automobilists of Pelham
have not yet organized an auto¬
mobile club, and in this respect
they are falling behind the other
towns of the state. There are a
dozen enthusiastic automobilists
in the city, and they should at
once organize and join the move¬
ment that is taking definite shape
all over the state for good roads.
From Albany north the move¬
ment is to build a highway from
Atlanta to Albany. South of Al¬
bany the owners of automobiles
ought to organize and join in the
movement to extend this high¬
way from Albany to Thomasville
and passing through Camilla and
Pelham.
Besides, there are local regula¬
tions which might be adopted by
a local club and it would result
in good.

lish at the State Universit*. int^duced
The speaker was in
a choice five minutes speech by
Mr. Thomas A. Biyrow, an
alumnus of the university and
one of Mr. Park’s former pupils.
The address of Mr. Park was
one of the strongest ever deliver¬
ed to a Pelham audience. With
especial reference to the South
and her vast undeveloped re
soursesand her rapidly develop¬
ing industries and wealth he
pointed out the necessity of ed¬
ucation as a means of reaching
toward the wonderful possibilities
along industrial lines and as the
proper safe-guard against decay¬
ing democracy and a weakening
form of government.
It has been a successful term of
school and the commencement
exercises were of the high order
that has characterized the work
that has been done under the di¬
rection of Prof. Wilkinson during
the year.

Meigs Lad Charged With
Burglary.
On Monday Ambrose White,
the young sou of Mr. Jeff White
was bound over to the Superior
Court of Thomas county on the
charge of burglary.
The boy is about fifteen year
old, and acknowledged entering
the store of J, R. Hambleton &
Company a couple of weeks ago
and taking the pistol. He effect¬
ed an entrance by breaking a
front window. He implicates his
elder brother in the deed, but the
elder brother denies the charge.
The young man entered the
store a few days ago for the pur¬
pose of buying some cartridges
and was asked to show the pistol.
Upon examination it was discov¬
ered to be of the same make and
number as the one taken from the
store when it was burglarized.
Much sympathy is felt for his
parents who are among the best
people of Thomas County.
English & Nesmith Case.
The first meeting of the credit¬
ors'll) the matter of English &
Nesmith, bankrupts, was held at
Albany Monday. Mr. C. G. Lott
who had been made receiver was

The liabilities of the firm are
about $7,200.00. Under the re¬
ceiver an inventory of the stock
was taken, which showed a gross
invoice value of $6,500.00.
It is understood that the bank¬
rupts will probably offer the
creditors a compromise.

knowledgement of appreciation of
their kindness.
Very respectfully,
W. F. Tucker.
