act comedy drama Diamonds and
Hearts" with the following cast of
characters:

ISIS" Mary Hunt
Dwight Bradley. Roy Macomber
DR.. Burton, Ralph Morrill,
Sammy, Chester Parkman
Abraham Barnes, Bub,
Lester Longfelow
Sheriff. Lewis Cleaves
Attorney, Ray Burns
The drama is full of fun, while a
fine plot keeps up the interest of the
listeners to the last moment. The
beautiful "old home" scene of Bub and
Sis occupying the entire second act
cannot but appeal to the finer senses
of all present. For weeks, and under
many disadvantages the young people
have labored diligently for success
which we feel will be theirs. An oyster
supper in the hands of d capable COM
mittee will be served after the play
and the whole will conclude with ii
social dance with music by Lees Or
chestra.
We certainly feel that the public will
be highly entertained. and also that
the management are deserving a good
patronage. We solicit your support.
Special car will leave postoficc at Au
gusta at $50 to accommodate those at
tending the drama. Come everybody.

In an interview today, Miss anna
Louise Strong, of Seattle, who arrived
here yesterday to formulate plans for
the proposed Know Your City con-
gress, stated tn outlines of her cam
in Portland and Seattle.
II believe" said Miss Strong, that

than it proved to be in Portland and
Seattle las people here will undoubted-
ly take a greater interest in the move
ment than do residents of large cities.
The campaign in Seattle, as well as
that in Portland, was all that coulo
have been desired, but / believe the

greater success"
