MAY STEWART

has held such prominent place N
the repertoire of so many of our most
noted Stars as "Ingomar" the play
which May Stewart and her distin-
guished company will present at the
Opera House To-day Matinee and night
The scene of the play is laid in an
cient Greece during the period that
q lawless band Of Germans, known as
the Alimani, had drifted down into
Greece and were inhabiting the mount
aims surrounding the city of Massilia
They have captured Myron, an ar
morer of Massilia and holding him Or
ransom "Parthenia" his beautiful
daughter, after exhausting every
means known to her of obtaining the
money with which to pay this ransom,
finally becomes desperate and goes
to the mountains and offers herslf as
hostage for her father that he may be
allowed to return to the city where
he can earn te money to buy his free
dom Finally the exchange is made
and Myron is forced to return to the
city, leaving his innocent and beauti-
full daughter alone and at the mercy
of the Barbarians and slave to their
chief Ingomar." Through her brav-
cry as we'll as her beauty "Parthenia'
soon wins her freedom from Ingomar

NO SHORTAGE OF BALES
here IN AMERICUS
il
Bumper Crop Marketed Here
Already

With practically $4,000 bales cotton
handled at Americus warehouses al
ready, and the fieecy tide still flowing
this way, there is abundant evidence
at hand that this crop is the greatest
ever produced. Sumter county has a
bumper crop all right, as the ware
house receipts indicate, and fully A.
900 bales additional will be brought
to Americus ere the last load leaves
the farm and the spring plowing be-
gins, Actual receipts here to date
are 37,710 bale, where as the usual
annual receipts are but $500 bales.
Farmers, very naturally, are blue over
prevailing low prices. Probably 600
bales remain unsold in Amerieus ware
houses, held for better price, while
considerable cotton is held back on
plantations, to say nothing of hum
dreds of bales unpicked in the fields
here.

union SERVICES WILL
Be MOST INTERESTING
At Methodist Church From
10 to II O'clock

Ali the churches of the city will
take part in the union Thanksgiving
service to be conducted this morning
at 10 o'clock at the First Methodist
church, with Rev. ]. w. Stokes, pastor
of the presbyterian church, in charge.
There will be an interesting musical
program to be rendered, and the SER
vices will be in thorough keeping with
the spirit of the day. 1t is even prob
able that there will be no fixed sermon
but that the service will be turned into
one that is typically thanksgiving in
its nature.
The hour of the service has been
fixed at 10 o'clock in order that it
will not occupy more than the hours
time allotted to them, so that by Ii
o'clock they will have been concluded
and the congregation dismissed.
1t has been the custom locally, as is
true in many other places for union
service TO be held by the various
churches on Thanksgiving day. The
union service on this day has proved
most popular and helpful here, and
there will doubtless be large at
tendance at the services to be held
o-day.

BAZAAR WILL
Be CONDUCTED
ALL NEXT WEEK
in BEHALF OF THE HOSPITAL
Hot Lunches viii Be Served
Down Town

Next week has been chosen by the
ladies of the Hospital Association for
the purpose of serving hot lunches
and conducting a bazaar to aid in the
construction of the new hospital build
ing.
AS was announced some time ago,
this has been the intention of the
ladies, but the time was not definitely
agreed upon until recently. though Mt
first it was intended to conduct the
bazaar during Thanksgiving week. Il
was found, however, that the coming
week will be much more suitable.
The worthiness of the cause for
which the ladies who compose the
Hospital Association have been labor
ing, has brought to their support u
great many of the people of Americus,
who realize that there are few public
institutions that have a greater field
for good than the Hospital The pa
tronage and support rendered to the
cause in the past is greatly apprecia-
ted by every friend of the Hospital.
In their efforts to raise the balance
of the fund still due to make possible
the construction of a modern and well
equipped buildinw the ladies will re-
sumo their work next week in the
/ form of the bazaar that will be con-
Quoted down town at some convenient
place to be selected later. The same
skillful careful and courteous man
agement that has characterized the
other bazaars and public enterprises
of this kind conducted by the ladies'
will also make the coming bazaar
notable
The people of the city have patron
iilzed the hot lunches and other fea-
lures recently conducted by the mem
bers of the association in a manner
that has been most gratifying. The
hot lunches to be served during the
coming week will prove especially at
tractive for the business men and
women the city whose generous
women of the city, whose generous
that of all the residents of the city.

THIRD SQUAD
ENGAGED ON
Sewer WORK
MORE PROGRESS MANIFEST
Work Should Be Completed
Easily Within Limit

Daily the work that is being done to-
ward the installation of modern and
ADEQUATE sewer facilities for the peo-
pie of Americus progresses slowly
but surely. The advent of Thanks
giving finds the work well advanced
for this comparatively early day in the
contract, Which permits the contrac-
tor until April of next year to COM
plrte the work.
Within the last few days a thir
squad has been added to the two
which have been engaged in the work
for some time, making the forces at
work adequate to meet the needs OF
the situation. One squad is at work
on Lee street, extending the sewers
toward the city limitc in that direc-
ton. Another squad is busy in East
Americus, while third squad is en-
gagged in the work III the northern
section of the city.
1t is only recently that the third
squad has been put 20 work, though
the other two have been at work since
the contractor first began. AS the
greater part of the deeper cuts neces-
sary have been completed, the m
achine used for cutting sewer trenches
on the Lee street extension can now
make very rapid progress. The work
of this squad has been especially rapid
Since the rejection of a humber OF
defective sewer pipes during the first
stages of the installation of the sew
ers, there has been no further com
plant from the city engineer in this
particular The sewers that have
arrived since that time have beer
practically all that are required tC
meet the demands of the occasion
The work is stll having, however
the same careful supervision from the
department of the city engineer tha'
it had when the work was first begun
On account of the liberal time al
lowed for the completion of the WORK
it is believed that the contract will
be completed we'll within the allotted
time limit. AS sewer improvements
always require and are always given
more time for completion than those
of paving there is little doubt that
the new sewers will have all been
cmpleted before April l.

CALLED TOGETHER ALL
WHO WANTED TO MARRY

Allentown, Pa. Nov. 29.-It turns
out that the assembling of about 20
young women from various sections
of this city, and surrounding towns at
a prominent street corner was the re-
suit of a cruel practical joke perpe-
trated by some unknown hoaxer. The
fellow, whoever he was, inserted an
attractive ad in newspaper saying
he was looking for wife, and he got
about 100 replies.
1t seems he wrote to all the women
asking them to meet him at certain
place at given hour. Each, of course,
thought she was the only one, and
when so many of them got together
the effect was ridiculous. Some of
the disappointed women were no long
er young

dignant women, had he come along.

NIGHT RIDERS
Shoot up The House of Joe
Ellis Near GAINESVILLE.

GAINESVILLE. Tenn, May 23.-Late
last night band of men riddled the
house of Joe Ellis with bullets. Mr..
Ellis resides in District No. 10, near
Palmyra. and he and his family had
retired for the night when the band
aroused them.
Mr.. Ellis responded to their cal
and was told that they wanted Gal
Lyle. Lyle, who had been stopping
there. was not at home, and the
crowd was so informed, but they
seemed to doubt Mr.. Ellis statement
and commenced to she o at the house.
Hundreds of shots were fired, many
of which struck the building. A
lamp, the light of which could be
seen through a window, was shot to
pieces, but fortunately did not set
fire to anything.
Mr.. Ellis states that there seemed
to be about fifty men in the party,
but he was unable to recognize any
of them. He and his family were
badly frightened by the attack, but
were uninjured. A note found at
the gate yesterday morning gave
notice that Lyle must not be enter
tanned there any longer.

Handsome Cooper Addition To
Be Put On the Market
Next Month.
1T CONTAINS As NICE LOTS.
Addition Will Open With Water
Pipes and a Mile of Con-
crete Walks.

WHAT will be known as the Cooper
addition. will be put on the market
about June 20 by Messrs. e. L.
Campbell, K. E. Cooper and Ode
Davis. This property lies on Thir-
teentb, Fifteenth and Sixteenth
streets and on Canton Pike and is
the closest in and most desirable
residence property that can be had.
The exact date of the sale has not
yet been announced, but it will be
some time within the next month.
II the city were gone over no more
desirable residence property could
not be found than this. It is located
within few squares of the business
district and in as good residence
neighborhood as there is in the city.
The property has been held off the
market for years, although effort
after effort has been made to pur-
chase sites for homes in that section
by people who realized how promis-
ing it was.
The lots lie high and have good
drainage, yet they are naturally
adapted for building and very little
if any work would have to be done
to get them ready for placing a
house.
With the steady growth of Hop
kinsville during the past years, close
in business sites have become scarce
and those which remain on the mar
ket have advanced in price until
they are almost beyond reach. But
this property is within half a dozen
blocks of the center of the business
section, yet it is retired and quiet.
The lots lie between the railroads
and the objectionable feature of
having to cross a railroad to get to
or from home, which is the case with
so many home owners, is done away
with.
The lots lie close to the Pioneer
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1911-05-25

Square that is to be beautified soon
by the city. Already a movement
to this effect is under way and will
be consummated in the near future
and will add much to the attractive
ness of that part of the town.
There are about 45 lots in the ad.
dition, all of which are generous in
size. being plenty large for house
and liberal space for yard and gar
den If desired. They are now being
improved, concrete walks being laid
In every direction and water pipes
being laid close to ever one. More
than halfa mile of concrete walks
have been contracted for in this one
addition alone andthe work of laying
it is now under way. These walks
will be four feet wide.
just how the lots will be sold has
not been decided upon, but probably
a public sale will be held and the
prospective purchasers will make
the prices themselves. Yet it may
be that the demand for them will be
so great in advance of any public
sale that they may be closed out
privately. There is no doubt but
that they will be greedily sought as
soon as it is known that they are on
the market. Real estate in Hop
kinsville is still advancing and will
continue to do so as the town grows
and no one who intends to buy a
home should fail to take advantage
Of this last chance at property that
is close in and in every way desir-
able. ' &c.
