“Pom-Pom” In
Bainbridge
-Since the eud of the war a spirit
of joyouenessand laughter baa been
released, and theatre goers now de
mana entertainment of the light
and humorous kind.
In line with the filling of this
demand oomes Henry W. Savage
with a comic opera production of
excellence called “Pom-Pom,” that
will be seen here for the first time
at Callahan Theatre, Bainbridge,
on Wednesday, February 26.
This offering has already been
stamped with the approval of the
critics, and comes heralded with a
whole lot of the highest commen
dation.
The story of this musical play is
a real one, and does not involve
any mental tire in its unfolding
The leading comedy role is taken
by Edith Thayer, who as Paulette,
a young actieas of repute, is called
upon to enact the role of Pom-Pom
a pickpocket.
She is in boy’s garb and make
up, and acts so realistically that a
police official thinks she is the real
article and arrests her. He also
arrests anumberofthievrsand Pom
Pom is thrust in amongst them.
Sv.e enters into their plans, es
capes jail with them and goes with
them to what is known as the
tbeives den. She kee sup the du
plicity, and enters with zest into a
plan to burglarize her own apart
ments. Then ensm some am using
and unusal situations.
Action is constant until she is
restored to real status in life, and
find herself in love with the police
inspector, who has been doing
some detective wora, disguised as
a criminal.
It is clean cut affair. Miss Thayer
is supported by a specially chosen
cast and chorus, nearly all of whom
havs speaking lines.
Credit for the book is due to
Anne Caldwell, who wrote ‘ Chin
Chin” and otner successes, while
the musioa score is by Hugo Felix,
who has to his reputation such pop
ularities as “Madame Sherry.”
A large orchestra accompanies
“Pom-Pom” and adds much to its
musical value.

Death of Calvin
R. Poole
Gainesville (Fla.,) Suu. ■
At 8:30 Tuesday morning the
death of C. K. Poole occurred at
Thrasher House in this city.
j
Mr. Poole w is a young man yet,
being only in his forty-second
year. The cause of bis death was
pnenmonia -following inflenza.
He was district manager of the
Singer Sewing Machine Co., and
he just thought he couldn’t give
up and go to bed. At last be had
to do so, and then it was too late.
The fell destroyer was hard upon
his track, and soon he passed from
life into the eternal chambers of
death.
His home was at Palatka Heights
though he was manager of the lo
cal office in Gainesville. During
his last illness bis wife was with
him, and was present at the time
of his death. His brother, H. F.
Poole, of Thomaaville, Ga. was
also present.
Mr. Poole leaves a wife find six
children at their home Palatka,
also three brothers and fourststers.
The body was prepared for ship
ment by the Thbmas Undertaking
Co. and was shipped to Thomasville
for burial, where the funeral will
take place on Thursday.
Mr. Poole was a very quiet, un
assuming man, and though he had
charge of the local office some
eight months, but few people even
knew him by sight. He w s a
mason in good standing, and nt one
time was in business in Thomas
ville, and was a member of the
[City Council of that place.
In Colquitt and out around Mt.
i Harmony Institute, where Mr.
Poole was reared, the above account
will carry sadness to many hearts;
for “Calvin” Poole was worthy of
the confidence and friendship which
he enjoyed duriog his boyhood and
early manhood.
In reality, he leaves his widow,
five children and one step-daugh
ter. Several years ago he married
a widow, Mrs. Hart, the sister of
Mrs. Andrew J. Callahan, of Bain
bridge.
His sister, Mrs. W. L. Everett,
of this city, with Mr. and Mrs. W.
L. Poole, from near Damascus, met
the remains in Thomasville, and
attended the funeral service.
One of bis children bad been
buried tn the cemetery there when
be and his family were making
their borne in that city, and uis
body new rests by the grave of
the little one.
The Liberal extends sympathy
to the bereaved ones.
Card of Thanks
We desire to express our sincere
thanks to our friends for ths many
acts of kindness and expressions

The Third
Attraction
Monday evening, February 24,
at eight o’clock, the curtain in the
School Auditorium will rise on
the “Welch Glee Quartet,” which
is the thirn of the tour attractions
secured for this city fiom a Lyce
um Bureau.
Mr. T. E. Bush, who has heard
the Quartet, is of the opinion that
the people of this section will be
delighted with the music furnish
ed by the four men, some of which
have won medals, one as high as
eleven, in this and the old
countries.
Providing inspiring entertain
ment for the inhabitants of thia
locality prompted many of ths
progressive citizens to engage the
four Lyceum attractions.
Mrs Dred Hays
Passes Away
Just west of town at the hems
of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. M. L
Miller, Mrs. Dred Hays passed
away Sunday afternoon at fivA
o’clock, from pneumonia following
influenza; but Mrs Hays has been
almost an invalid for thirty years.
The patient endurance and forti
tude she exemplified in the visita
tion of infirmities, endeared her
beyond expression to those who
knew her best. She was esteemed
by relatives and friends ae a true
Christian.
Mrs. Hays was a little more than
fifty-one years of nge. She is sur
vived by her husband, four eons,
Messrs Willie, Howard, Tom and
Doster Haye, by her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. M. L. Miller, who were
bo‘h too ill to attend the funeral,
by one sister, Mrs. J. T. Knight
and by one brother, Post Master
Henry M. Miller, of this city.
Several years ago Mrs. Hays
took a tinj motherless girl to rear;
and she now survives foster moth
er. The child seems to be about
nine years of age.
The remains were held till Tues
day afternoon, relatives hoping
that Mr. Howard Hays, who was
at an army camp near Ft. Worth,
Texas, might reach home in time
for interment, but be tried in vain.
He wired Sunday: “Tell mother I
am coming,” but the message came
too late to cheer the beloved
mother.
Uncertainty as to what hour the
funeral service would tee held pre
cluded a definite announcement,
and many who desired to pay this
last tribute, oould not learn at
what time to go to the cemetery,
where Rev. L. P. Rogers conduct
ed the service on the family lot,
near the grave of her brother, ths
late Lonnie Miller.
A choir rendered very sweetly
some vocal selections
Those who loved the frail tene
ment of clay we extend sincere
sympathy; the husband—the aged
parents—the stalwart sons, the
sister and the brother will miss
her, but a “still smali voice” will
say: “After life’s fitful fever she
rests well.”
