The First Division of the Re
bekah Assembley of Georgia met
with the Julia Waters Lodge No.
78 in this city Tuesday, *Mrs.. F.
H. Olver of Americus, Division
Deputy President, presiding.
The lodge was cajled to order
at 10 o’clock a. m., and the regu
lar rountine of business was dls .
patched, after which refresh
ments were served by the ladies
of the local lodge.
Among the . representatives
present were: Mrs. Mattie Per
ry and Mrs. W. W. Roberts of
Americus, Mrs. Lizzie Leveritt
of Fitzgerald, Mrs. Emma Mor
ton of Waycross, Mrs. Bertie
Davis of Orland and Mrs. R. T.
Cooper, who represented the
home lodge. Besides the dele
gates quite a number of visitors
from various points in the divis
ion were here to attend the meet
ing, and they were all royally en
tertained by the members of the
local lodge.
Mrs. L. Helen Lohr of Augusta,
president of the Rebekah Assem
bly of Georgia, was i)resent and
contributed much to the success
of the meeting. Her labors as
presidentjhave been arduous and
highly satisfactory.
The meeting assembled again
Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock with
Mrs. Lohr presiding, and the
Rebekah degree was conferred
upon candidates.
Citizens Pepsted To
Qm li? Premises.
At a called meeting of the city 1
council held last Friday night a |
resolution was passed calling on
the people of Vidalia to immedi
ately put their premises in a san
j
itary condition. It is necessary
that this precaution be taken if
Vidalia is to maintain its reputa
tion for good and there
itrre ail - citizens' are 'urged “to'
make a general cleaning up of
their premises.
The sanitary committee oi
council will make an inspection
of the city on May Ist, and all
those who have not placed their
premises in a sanitary condition
will be given official notice to do'
,so. This is a wise step, and we
trust that every citizen will aid
in making Vidalia a thoroughly
sanitary town.
Work Is (ommenced .
On Baseball M
Construction work has been
commenced on an enclosed base
ball park and grand stand, which
is to be erected near the ice fac
tory by Messrs. Adams & May,
and it is to be completed soon.
The diamond will be clayed, the
stumps removed from the entire
park and the graad stand will be
a commodious structure. The
boys are making arrangements
for some games to be played
here just as soon as the new
park is completed.
The establishment of this new
enclosed park insures that Vida
lia will have some good baseball
games during the season. Here
tofore it has been difficult to get
good teams to come here, owing
to the fact that there was no way
to pay the expenses, except what
was voluntarily given. Now,
however, an admission will be
charged, and as baseball is a pop
| ular sport in Vidalia, it is a cor
! tainty that there will be no trou
| ble in paying the expenses of vis
iting teams.
Messrs. Adams & May will
also erect a concrete swimming
j pool hear their ice factory, which
I
.. t v i
is to be supplied wfh' lukewarm
water from the ice Majat. This
will be much appredited by Vi
dalia people and w' doubtless

FIRST OF ALL EVICTIONS.
Magyar Version of the Expulsion From
the Garden of Frier..
Among the folklore of the peas
antry of Roumania and some of the
adjoining Magyar states of eastern
Europe is found the story of the ex
pulsion of our first parents from
the garden of Eden. It runs thus:
When Adam and Eve fell, God
sent Gabriel, the Magyar angel, to
turn them out of Eden as a punish
ment for their sin. Gabriel was re
ceived most courteously, food and
drink of the best being set before
him. Now, Gabriel had a kind heart
and took pity upon the poor folk
and would not accept their hospital
ity, remembering his errand. So he
returned and begged that some one
else bo sent to evict the sinners, as
he really could not do it. Then
Raphael, the Roumanian angel, urns
sent and was received as Gabriel
had been. He, however, was very
fond of a good dinner, and so ho
sat down and thoroughly enjoyed
y —,,<•
himself. TbdTeast over, he tofif| j y
erring pair h» errand. They
man «6gan to- weep most pitaMMTf,
and beg for mercy. Their feig|HHM|

"Kef "100,
asked that some one elsebeepj >
he could not possibly tnra <wl
poor folk after accepting their kefr
pitality. Then it was that Michael,
(the German angel, was sent. Bs
was received as the ©then by the
trembling pair and trea-, I even
more sumptuously. He 'oat down
and enjoyed himself till the last
morsel o$ food hadi vanished and
there wasn’t a drop of liquor left.
Then he arose and, turning to his
host and hostess, said, “Now, then,
out you go, and be quick about it.”
Most piteously did Adam and Eve
beg at least for time, even remind
ing him that he had partaken of
their bread. All in vain. Tbns it.
was that om first parents wers
driven out of Eden.

How “Old Nash” East the Toriea.
Once Nash county was famous th»
state over, and over into other
states, for the best apple brandy in
the world—“Ohl Nash” it was called
—and Thealcr in his history of
North Carolina tells a story how
“Old Nash” saved numbers of brave
patriots from defeat at the hands
of a Tory band. The men were
about to be overcome, and the old
woman came along and presented'
the Tory bunch with a jug of “Old
Nash,” and the defeat was turned
into victory.—Greensboro (N. C.)
