"The Girl Question"

"The Girl Question" is mighty biz
one in the lives of all men and it plays
. more or less important part in The
lives of most women, and as con-
sequence the musical play Of thar title
which comes to the Grand on Mon
day, May 3rd, is the subject OF much
discussion.
In the play the question is answer
cd with big crowd of pretty. viva
cious, enthusiastic girls, songs which
set the feet to keeping time, the lips
to whistling: dances which excite your
admiration at their novelty and your
wonderment at the physical ability
which enables the chorus to go
through with them; with countless
laughs and absorbing interest in the
plot and a cast of players perfect Tor
the roles they enact.
"The Girl Question" is called mu-
sic play from the fact that it has a
great big absorbing plot as we'll as its
songs, dances and fun. 1t was writ
ten by the authors of "The Time, The
Place and The Girl" "a Stubborn
Cinderella" Honeymoon Trail and
other big successes and run for 33o
consecutive performances at the La
Sale Theatre, Chicago. 1t was pro-
duced under the direction of Harry
Hanlon and its cast is headed by Paul
Nicholson, a big looking, magnetic
comedian and also includes Nina Col
lins. Henrietta Tedro. Marguerite De
Won. Carl George. Russell Lennon,
Louis Wood and a half dozen others.

VETERANS ARE URGED TO JOIN
Widows, Sons and Daughters Are
Also Invited to Attend the
Meetings

By request of the veterans of Camp
No. 404 U. c. V. l write this address
to each and very confederate veteran
in Terrell county, Georgia We, as
camp, wish every veteran in Terrell
county to join the camp. We would
love so much to grasp your hand
and bid you welcome. Remember
that our ranks are very rapidly grow
Ing thinner ever year, and in a few
more years the last one of us shall
have passed over the river, and with
old S+onewall Jackson and the thou
sands gone before will rest under
the shades of the trees" Come, then,
and join our ranks, as from the firing
OF the first gun on Sumter until the
sun went down upon Appomattox the
confederate soldier did nothing for
which he should feel sorry, or ever
have cause to regret. We, too, most
cordially invite the sons and daugh-
terS OF confederate veterans to or
game. Just look at Randolph, Stew
| art, Clay, Calhoun, Sumter and Web
ster. These are live wires, and in
fine working order, and why should
Terrell county be so lukewarm and
indifferent? History furnishes no
parallel to the valor of the confed-
crate soldiers, and while great men
have rocked the world" our great
southern women rocked our southern
soldiers long before that | most
politely invite you all-confederate
veterans, widows of confederate vet
Grams and sons and daughters of con-
| federate veterans-to organize at
once and to keep the fires burning
as did those vestal virgins of the sew
en-hilled city of Rome, and ever keep
green the graves where valor proudly
| sleeps
We would love to have you all to
meet with us on the first Tuesday in
each month at 10 o'clock a. m. at
the court house. Our next meeting
will be on Tuesday, November 2,
1909. Come one, come all, and let
us have one of the most enthusiastic
meetings ever witnessed in Dawson.
T. A. WILLIAMS,
| Commander Terrell County Camp.
