The big joke Of all was saved for the
last. Santa Claus made a neat little
speech, in which he said that at no
distant date all the people of Los An
geles would gather around some promi-
nent public place and there they would
unveil a statue to one of the most dis
tinguished citizens that Los Angeles
has ever known. He declared that he
proposed to beat the citizens to it, and
then Frank Henderson drew the cover
from a Notwithstanding bundle that
had adorned the sideboard back of the
mayor during the entire proceedings.
1t was a big pedestal and on it was
dinky little manikin that wagged its
head in a foolish way and grinned.
There was a bunch of wool on its chin,

representation of the comic magazine

nized the resemb blance to Uncle

preciated the joke as much as any.

the preaching is in Arabic, in the eve

the sermon by DR.. Hunt, one Of the mis-
sionaries. 1t was Easter Sabbath, and
the sermon related to the resurrection Of
Christ The sermon itself was an ex-
cellent one, we'll thought out and deeply
spiritual. But coming as it did after we
had spent several days in seeing the dark
side Of Cairo, from both the standpoint
of it's former heathenism and its pres

bad, the sermon was all the more enjoy

JUDGE SPEER URGES
ENFORCEMENT OF LAW

JACKSON, Ca, May H.-The sixth an
nual meeting of group five of the Geor-
gia Bankers association was held
at Indian Spring today. The session
was called together at 1890 in the assem-
bly, room of the Wigwam by Chairman
J. NJ. Finn, of Dublin. The invocation
was said by Rev. James Bradley, pastor
of the Jackson Presbyterian church. E.
S, Etheridge president of the Jackson
National bank, delivered the address Of
welcome on behalf of the Jackson bank
ers. The response was by B. w. Hunt,
of the Middle Georgia bank, of Eatonton.
The program was one Of the utmost In
terest and Importance to the bankers Of
the state.
Judge Emory Speer, who is holding q
term Of the United Stetes court at In
Clan Spring, made an address that was
easily the feature of the convention. He
was invited to make an address to take
the place Of some regular numbers Of
the program. Judge Speer paid particular
attention to the non-enforcement of the
prohibition law. He said the law was
being openly violated in the big cities
Of the state, and that 1t was impossible
to secure a conviction in such cases.
Judge Speer was warmly applauded at
the conclusion of his brilliant, though
short talk.
Following the business session the
bankers were served a luncheon at the
Wigwam by the Jackson bankers. They
were then taken for an automobile ride
out to the 100000 dam Of the Central
Georgia Power company on the Ocmulgee
river. Upon returning to Jackson the Wis
iting bankers were rendered an informal
reception at the home of Mr., #. s..
Etheridge under the auspices of the
Jackson Clearing bank.
T. s. Etheridge was elected chairman
for the ensuing year, while Mr.. Cald-
well, of Hawkinsville, was made secre-
tary for the ensuing year. The next meet
ing Of group five goes to Hawkinsville.

FOUGHT Under Six F,aos.

A remarkable soldier has just died
at Budapest in the person of General
Stephen Turr. one of the bravest revo-
lutionary generals that ever lived. He
commenced his military career as Il
lieutenant in the Austrian army. Then
he fought for the Hungarian revolu-
tionary government, helped TO quell II
German revolution and joined Carl
baldi in his great struggle. On the
outbreak Of the tsimean war he served
as volunteer in Omar Pasha's army
against Russia and finally received Il
commission In the British transport
service. 1t was while buying horses
for the British army at Budapest in
1855 that the general was seized by
the Austrians as deserter and SEN
fenced to death. But both the. British
and French governments made such
emphatic protests against this sentence
that it was commuted to Punishment
Finally the old soldier settled down in
Paris.
