AMUSEM ENTS,
1.-THE Man From Home"

No play which Augusta theatergoers
have seen for long time has proven
so thoroughly satisfactory as THE Man
from Home" played by William Hodge
and a magnificent company Wednes-
day evening. 1t was greeted by rep
resentative audience that taxed the
seating capacity of the Opera house to
it's limit
1.-The Man from Home" abounds in
human interest and sentiment which
grips one irresistibly. The comedy. of
which there is plenty. is clean and
wholesome. The play itself is distinct
ly American, full of American humor
and dry Yankee wit which meets with
ready response.
1t is no exaggeratiOn to say that the
audience that witnessed last nights
production was aroused to such pitch
of enthusiasm as has not been mani
fest in Augustus playhouse for years.
Mr.. Hodge responded to curtain calls
after each act and at the end of the
third the applause was so great that
nothing but q speech would suffice.
Augusta placed it's stamp of unquali
lied approval upon THE Man from
Home in a way that will long endure
in the minds of those who attended.
William Hodge, who is so pronounced
a favorite with theatergoers every
where, and who has made 1.-THE Man
from Home" a by word throughout the
country. was the same inimitable
comedian. He scored another triumph
with Augusta people. His quaint per-
sonality and unique mannerisms kept
his audience constantly amused and
his Interpretation of the bright lines
given him by the playwrights was a
revelation
The play is attractive in plot. breezy
in dialogue and, with it's superb seem
cry and settings, was all that could be
desired. 1t deals with the love affairs
of Miss Ethel Granger who,
with her brother, Horace, was born in
Indiana. but educated abroad. They
fall in with corrupt nobility and begin
TO look with scOrn upon Americans.
Miss Simpsons fortune is desired by
the Hon. Al1neric st. Aubyn. the son
Of the Earl of HaVcastle. who asks for

and defend to the best of our ability
the Constitution of the United States
and also to faithfully perform all the
required duties pertaining to our Of
flee. Next there was placed in the
hands of each one a copy of the Pos
tai Laws and Regulations, which is to
be our guide in all official action.
Anyone might feel that if they fol-
lowed strictly the directions found
therein they might with a good deal
of satisfaction review the work of any
day and pronounce it good, for have
they not been carrying out as they
understood them the directions of this
book? Have they not been faithfully
fulfilling the law? Have they not been
serving the government to the b st
of their ability and have they not
done all that had been asked of them?
To all of these questions l answer
yes, most emphatically, so far as the
work in and of itself is concerned, but
how much of grace was shown by US
during the time our work was going
on? What impression did we make
upon all those we came in contact
with for that day? Did we put any
heart into that service rendered to
our neighbors, our friends and the
public at large?
This is the side of the question
wish to dwell most largely upon to-
day, for the man who does only what
he is compelled to do in order to hold
his position is not a postmaster in
the truest sense of the word and is not
rim my opinion the kind of servant Tn
Gle Sam is looking for Such man
is merely a machine all the time
thinking and planning how to pass the
time away.
The postmaster that is the most
sought after is the one who has the
largest conception of his office, who is
most anxious not to please himself
but the patrons of his office ard is
ever on the alert to give the little at
tentions that are so constantly COM
ing his way
We all know how many questions
are asked by children and full grown
people as well concerning the mails
and we know how much patience ii
requires to answer all these with
smiles. Sometimes a stranger calls
seeking information not only of things
wants to, be told the distance to the
village and if he is in an auto he
wants to know if the road is a good
one.
To my mind for postmaster to be-
come an ideal officer he must not onlr
answer all questions kindly, but he
must also impress the questioner with
the idea that he is not only willing
to give all needed information sought
but that he would be glad to enter in
to detail to that extent that when the
stranger turns away from his win
dow he will feel that he has met a
manly man and something more a
friend
In conclusion he spoke briefly of
he benefits derived from the conven-
lion and urged as it's slogan. Strive
always to be found among the best
in our service"
The forenoon session closed with
lively discussion upon the Money Or
der System led by c. Walter Poor of
the Augusta office.

against abandoning their wives and
