Well, one night George had |
some letters to mail and we
started down to the postoffice. AS
we got near there, we noticed quite |
crowd in front of it. We wondered |
what the trouble was. | thought at
first someone had been killed or that
it was afire. They told us it was only
a crowd waiting to get into the LOMO
Moving Picture Parlor. Well, we final
ly secured tickets and went in and
looked for seats where we could get
good view of the pictures, but all the
seats seemed to be arranged with that
in view and nice, comfortable seats
they were. 1t is very cosy and neat.
The Lomo Orchestra furnished the
music and they were worth going
miles to hear. The pictures were ex-
ceptionally fine and showed good taste
and selection, and the songs were the
SWEETEST l ever heard in any moving
picture show In fact, it was the best
show l had ever seen or heard for the
price. The other day George 'phoned
up and asked me to meet him in town.
Well, l got ready and called up
the HATTIESBURG AUTOMOBILE
TRANSFER COMPANY (either phone
I'D and was soon speeding down to
meet him. We went direct to FRY'S,
the leading tailor, on Front street, and
as George needed a suit, We looked
over the stock of woolens and found II
to be the best assorted in this town
Well, George ordered a suit and he
says it is the best he ever wore. The
price was very reasonable considering
the workmanship and maerial used
Mr.. Fry also makes ladies' suits anc
alterations. He employs only the
best workmen and uses nothing bu
the best materials. When | order my
spring suit, am going to get it at Mr.
Fry's. It was then nearly six o'clock
so George .saids lets go down to the
restaurant and get something to eat
We went down to the GEN 'RESTAU
RANT, on Mobile street. This place
is very cosy and neat. Isn't it funny
how anyone can eat and enjoy them
selves so much where everything is 81
neat and clean and this place certainly
was clean. The bill of fare was 81
varied. the service was of the best
and also understood that they hav'
: furnished rooms to rent. If l were
not keeping house, would love Il
STAY there because everything is 81
home-like. When George came to pa,
the check | was surprised and nearl.
made up ny mind to stop cooking AM
eat there.
We then called up the Hattiesburi
Automobile Transfer Company AM
went home. Imagine, if you can GU
surprise at finding Alice and Joe there
They had driven over from Mobile il
