Wednesday and Thursday nights Katie
Putnam will appear in 'Erma, the Elf"
Ii is seven years since Miss Putnam last
played before a Savannah audience, but she
is still the same Katie now that she was
then, and she sings and dances just the

an air of freshness and spirit that is capti-

tanning an original plot, which in itself is a
refreshing fact. The Dialogue Is in many
parts very bright, and not unfrequently
very clever. Miss Putnam mas been great
favorite in Savannah She will hardly fail
to receive an enthusiastic reception.

IN BELOVED REMEMBRANCE OF
HUGH BODELL,


"a precious one" from us has gone,
voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filed.
God in His wisdom has recalled,
The boon His love had given;
And though the body moulders here,
The soul is safe in heaven,
Jesus, while our hearts are bleeding
Ger the spOils that death has won,
We would at this solemn meeting,
Calmly say, Thy will be done.
Though cast down we're not forsaken,
Though afflicted not alone;
Thou didst give and Thou hast taken,
Blessed Lord, Thy will be done.
