The Manless
Weeding
The play given at the court
house Friday evening under the
auspices of the P. T. A., was large
ly attended and the players suc
ceeded in amusing their audience,
judging by the peals of laughter.
Duties in all of their stern array
kept the editress from witnessing
the performance; but the follow
ing references will indicate some
of the fun producing characters.
Mrs. Hurry Stein represented
the winsome, dainty, blushing
bride. Mrs. W. R- Dancer, (for
tneriy Miss Grace Bush) in man s
apparent acted as the strong, hand
some, protecting Mis
E. J. Hunter in man’s clothes was
the father; and Mrs. M. G. filem
ents in man’s attire, as the preach
er, ‘‘brought down the house.
Mesdames J. M Fudge and R. W.
Austin acted as little girls, and
some of the little girls pres
ent said “surely were cute.” Some
said Airs. J. G. Roberts was tine
as a man.”
They say: “Mrs Calhoun in
man’s clothes looked exactly like
Jeter” her son.
Mesdamee C Danger mid T.
F. Bchannod in men’s clothing
were met with “screams” when
they appeared on the stage.
The above facts were “caught
on the fly,” Copy was needed so
we could not wait to see any of the
characters.
The neat sum of tifty two dollars
was raised. It is to be used in
building a science hall on the
campus.

In more ways than one we doll
our best “editorial bat” to Mr. and
Mrs. E. M. Sheffield for manifes
tations of kindness extended last
week end to the only two mem
bers of the Liberal household now
left at home, the editress and her
daughter, Miss Willie Toole; and
the latter is away teaching from
Monday till Friday as first assist
ant in the Rowena High Schoo)
department.

1). Cowart moved his family back
to Morgan, leaving hie father, Mr
A. J. Cowart, and hts sister, Miss

quietness reigns now, where once
resounded the merry shouts from
groups of happy youngsters
There are many horr.es in and
around Colquitt, once crowded
with occupants, now used by only
one or two dwellers.
Colquitt loses an enthusiastic
citizen Alenday. Air. 0. J. Wil
liams who has been bolding a
position at the Electric Light
Plant here expects to take charge
on that day of hie new place in
the Elberta Crate Factory in West

ly is to remain here for a while.
Both Mr, and Mrs. Williams art
loath to leave Colquitt; but the
advantages of a salary almost
doubled redrawing them to their
new location. They are excellent
neighbors, and their friends here
give them up reluctantly, while
wishing for them success in .heir
new home.

Mr Kimbrel, who was seventy-five
years of age the 12th inst., stays

the talk of the community.

The many friends of Mrs Min
nie Shaw regret that site has been
suffering for the last week at the
bojite of her daughter, Mrs, F, E.
Fudge, with slight aitacKs of in
disposition. Until then her health
had improved ever since she was
brought here so ill from Atlanta
about three months ago. Her re
cent illness has pot proven severe,
and we hope that she will soon be
folly restored to the joy of excel
lent health.
Mrs. H. E. Jones, who has been
in the Riverside Hospital in Bain
bridge for nearly three months,
was much improved, and was ex
pect.d to be allowed to return to
Iler home here a few days ago;
but a change in her condition ne
cessitated a longer stay al the in
stitution. Laid week her tonsils
were removed, and it’s now thought
that her uex improvement will be
more permanent. The young ma
tron has many friends who will
rejoice with her relatives when
she returns home restored to
health,
