A. G. Aliens Big Minstrel Show gave a performance at the corners of 18th and Ringo streets
 last night to a crowd that filed the large pavilion ltheatre to its utmost capacity. The whole per- formance wss clean and free from any objectionable features. The stage sstting was very pret- .ty, being tastily arranged and the entire back of the stage masked in by two large United States flags. The singing and dancing, was far above the aver.

BAPTIST CHURCH.

It is hard to realize that there are only two more months in this
 good year. only nine more Sun. days before 1913 will be here. Indeed the time is short in which we are to fulfill our obligations to our Saviour for what He has
 done for us. Some are liable to let this year slip away just as last year did and find that they have not attended the services of their church as much as they should. Now is a fine time to remedy this. Try to attend ser vices at least once each Lords
 Day during the remainder of this year, and see if you will not be in a better condition to begin the new year.
 Last Sunday some of the fa- lmiliar faces were missing from Sunday School and preaching. The attendance was about as
 usual, but the Bible Glass was much smaller.
 The pastor will preach at both hours Sunday. It is hoped that those who come to Sunday School will try to come a little earlier 1 for there are only a few to begin with and this is a part of the
 service.

LENGTH OF EVENING FROCKs
Important Question Upon Which
Fashion Authorities Are Divided
In Opinion.

Authorities are divided on one i'm
portant item-the length of evening
frocks. In spite of the fact that most
of the new models this year are made
with ten or twelve-inch pointed
train, ore of the greatest Paris houses
shows majority of its new evening
gowns with the short skirt just instep
length.
Since there is this division of opin-
ion among the great originators of
fashion, it would seem that each young
woman may choose for herself as to
whether she will cling to the youthful
round-length skirt or will prefer the
more formal trained effects worn by
the older women. Some wonderful
new black jet trimmings are used this
season, and white and c0lored span
giles, Dugles and brilliants are strongly
in evidence, A black velvet evening
frock, cut en- sdrplice. has the deep
yoke of cream white maine lace
This corsage IS outlined with a narrow
row OF brilliants and trimmed with a
cut Jet motif which extends down into

, INCREASE PRODUCTS
AT CANNING PLANT HERE
Variety Of Vegetables to Be
Canned

After a short but successful mi
fial season, the large canning plant
at the Ware-Progress Orchard Co., has
just closed down for time, to resume
operations upon an even larger scale
when the fruit and vegetable season
is ushered in few months hence.
For the past three months the plant,
under direction of Mr.. Fred ]. Strong,
of Americas has been canning sweet
potatoes only, and with a degree II
success surprising the anticipations
tf the company Thousands of bush
els sweet potatoes were put up in tins
az this extensive plant, and shipments
made to all parts of the country,
where the product finds ready market
at very excellent prices.
So pleased is the company with the
business done this season that the
factory will be operated again next
fall in the canning of sweet potatoes
To this end contracts have been
made with the WareProgress Co.,
through Manager J. l.. Glawson, for
a variety of products this year.
The Ware-Progress Co. will plant
for the cannery $50 acres in sweet
potatoes; rs acres in snap beans; 20
acres in beets and 10 acres in okra,
total of $50 acres in potatoes and
truck All of this, besides what IN
addition is bought from farmers, will
be canned by the cannery.
The plant is entirely new and IS
proving an important industry here.
Manager Glawson states that the com
pany does not contemplate removing
It from the Ware-Progress farm 10

KISSED ON RAILROAD
FOR 200 Miles
And Then Appealed For More
In Prison Cell

Atlanta, Ga, January 9.-"Pleas4
let me see Mr.. Waters. 1 miss my
usual morning kiss so much. And |
want one, too" pleaded seventeen
year-old Mary Reeves in the matrons
ward at the police station.
r. L. Waters, former manager Of the
the man she wanted to kiss, occupied
a. cell on the floor directly underneath
the matron's ward. He is accused of
kidnapping the Reeves girl and Naomi
Scoggins, also seventeen years old,
and he was brought to Atlanta with
the two girls by Detective Fain from
cambridge.
Hugging and kissing between Mary
Reeves and Waters on the train SUI
day, Detective Fain says, continued
practically all the way from Balm

very much. The officer says the giri

But / knew that as long as they

NEW BRAID is NOW NEEDED
Last Years Suits May Be Renovated
by the Substitution Of New and
Becoming Trimming.

Few, if any, of the suits Of last year
that were ornamented with wide and
expensive braids came through that
time unscathed. Most of them, in
fact were disfgured and made to look
shabby almost beyond the hope OF
repair by the pulled-out loops or tuz-
illness from which even the most ex-
pensive of these braids suffered when
Subjected to daily wear. The only way
to renovate such a suit is to take 1t
TO a tailor and let him remove the
braid and replace it by rows OF SOU
tache. If the suit is we'll pressed the
new braiding may go up and down, in
stead of around. and totally new ef-
feet may be gained thereby.
One of the latest ways OF Draldlng
the short little coats is to have from
four to six rows of soutache start at
each side of the back panel, either
from loops and buttons or from simu-
lated buttons made by curling braid
round and round to the desired SIZE
and go from there in a curYlng me
around the sides and well up on the
sides of the fronts, to finish there as
they started. The. row nearest the
arm should be the highest at the fin
ishing in front, and the others shoulu
gradually shorten to give downward
slant to the row of buttons. This slant
is not unbecoming to a slight figure
and to a plump one is far more be-
coming than a straight-across line or
a backward slant. Rows Of the SOU
tache should trim the sleeves above
the cuffs. A smart touch may be Civ
en- by making the cuffs and collar OF
velvet to match the suit.

THOUGHTLESS CRUELTY.

1t is surprising how many people,
otherwise model citizens, are guilty
of cruelty to both fowls and animals
1t may not altogether be Intentional
on their part, but nevertheless they
do things that call for censure.
One of the most common acts is to
carry chickens by their legs, heads
down. This cruelty has been practic-
ed for years, and no one ever thought
anything about it. They did not
notice the rush of blood to the head
of the fowl when carried that way.
A neighbor just the other day was
carrying fat hen by the legs and in
a few minutes the bird was gasping
and came pretty near choking to
death. An equally cruel method is
to carry fowls by the wings especial
ly so when the fowls are heavy bodied.
The proper way is to allow the fowl
to rest on the arm, and the legs held
firmly by the hand; or it can be held
between the arm and body.
A dealer was one day noticed to
yank stock out of crate by catching
by leg or a wing, and otherwise
roughly handling them. When re-
monstrated he replied that it did not
matter as the birds would soon be
killed.
With somes people it is common to
throw fowls over the fence into yard.
There is no telling in what manner
they will reach the ground. and when
this cruelty is performed while the
attendant is in a fit of anger. there is
considerable force put into the throw.
A very pious old gentleman was
vexed to the cussing point because
his chickens happened to get out of
the yard, through a broken fence,
into his garden. In his anger he
threw a stone and famed one of the
fowls. "There, 1t serves you right;
don't pity you Bit, F" was the only
comment on the accident. How much
better it would have been to have
carefully driven those fowls back into
the yard and at once repaired the
fence.
Verify, the contrariness of the hen
Is mot in it" with the contrariness
