IN SOCIETY
Continued from Page 3.)

The Adelante society of Willamette
University divided itself into three
sections and held a Thanksgiving
meeting on Friday afternoon Of last
week. Miss Ruth Young, Miss Lottie
Penn and Miss Gertrude Eakin were
the leaders of the different divisions,
and illustrated the lives of our Pill
grim fathers from the time of their
departure from England to their first
Thanksgiving Day on American soil.
Miss Young's portion of the society
gave in tableauX, costumed, represen-
tations Of our fore-fathers' lives in
Holland and England. The pictures
showed religious prosecutions, cross
ing to Holland, romance between
Truth and Hans, and a vision Of
preaching to the Indians in America.
Miss Penn presented in an original
manner "The Landing Of the Pill
grims,' This was a chorus recitation.
An American home scene in the ear
ly Colonial days was arranged by Miss
Eakn. Indians and witches figured
conspicuously and the pictures were
appropriately costumed.
Eight young women represented a
turkey, vegetables and other good
things that made "The First Thanks
giving Dinner" This scene was also
in costume.
The judges Of the Adelantes pres
entations were Mrs. Gaylord Patter-
son, Mrs. Robert Walsh and Mrs. NJ
b. Peck. Honors were awarded to
Miss Youngs division.
Eighty small boys, representing The
Capital Journals carrier force, re-
spending to invitations from Mr.
Graham Taber, circled the long table
in the Hotel Marion dining-room for
genuine New England Thanksgiving
dinner, on Thursday at one o'clock
Like a fairy-tale from Wonderland
was this splendid feast served on
shiny linen with pretty china and
sparkling glass, pryamids of fruit and
nodding blossoms of chrysanthemums
and carnations, with sprays of smilax
Mr., Taber, from his place of honor
at the head of this rollicking crowd
Of little men, saw that no one was
neglected; and when the last bite they
could hold had disappeared he told
them some things that appealed to
their childish hearts.
A number of boys followed his re-
marks with surprisingly good talks,
and one little fellow, no higher than
The table, sang, to the delight of all.
Mr. McInturff, who has charge Of
the circulation department, was given
place at Mr.. Taber's right. So will
hang on memorys wall a beautiful
picture to gladden. the hearts Of these
embryo business men.
In rounding out this day Of joy, Mr..
Iaber invited his dinner guests for
the Globe theatre pictures in the
evening.
After the performance Samm y
Bloom appeared on the stage and re-
peated his dinner song for the pleas
ure of the vast audience, who gave

For Leave to Sell Land.

GEORGIA-Sumter County.
Notice is hereby given that l will
apply to the Honorable Walter George,
Judge of the Superior Court of Ben
Hill County, Georgia, at the Court
House in Vienna, Ca, on the 25th day
of January, 1912, for leave to sell, 1T
private sale, the one-twelfth undivided
interest in Seven Hundred and Sixty
Five acres of land belonging to my
ward, situated in the old Sixteenth Dis
trict of Sumter, County, Ca, and
known as the Wilson home place.
| will make this application as guar
dian Of the person and property of W.
W. Wilson, for the purpose of selling
property and re-investing the pro-
ceeds. My reason for wanting to sell
are, that l cannot successfully manage
one-twelfth interest in land so far
away, it being about eighty miles from
my home, and believe the price offer
ed at private sale is fair and reason
able, and that can re-invest the pro-
ceeds in lots Nos. 95S and $50, near
Fitzgerald, Ga, the home of myself
and ward, to good advantage, which is
my purpose to do.

ENGAGED IN a uAEAT WORK
What Uncle Sam Is Doing to Provide
A Variety Of Fruit
Food.

Uncle Sam is doing a great work In
providing a variety of fruit food for
his American children. New seeds and
plants are coming in daily by express,
freight and mail and in some cases
the importations weigh tons.
Among the results already accom-
plished we have now the largest col
lection of date varieties known. They
are growing in the gardens Of Ar.
iona and California. We have also
the greatest variety of mangoes ex-
tant, and we are testing that fruit with
view to It's introduction into Florida,
Puerto Rico and Hawaii.
We have French artichokes now
growing in the truck gardens of the
south, Kaff1r corn from Abyssinia,
which is being tested in Kansas, and
a new kind of oats from northern Fin.
land, which is being grown in Alaska.
We have new alfalfas from Arabia
and Chinese Turkestan. We are start
ing "a sisal hemp industry in Puerto
Rico, and we are growing Japanese
bamboos, which, it is thought, win
take the place of the old cane brakes
of the south. We have also a valuable
paper plant from Japan, wood oil trees
from China, and are setting out, in
California, hundreds of plants which
Il is thought will make varnish.
We have also a pedigreed barley
which is especially desired by the
brewers, and altogether so many other
fruits, grains and trees that to men
ton them would be like quoting a
botany.

Miller owner of the dog, made a
great hue and cry about having lost

Two mattresses on her bed on which
she slept, and that they were there
when she got up and were not there

A detective put on the case employ

there was dog in the case some
where. Then he found a little fox

FIRST ARREST MADE
UNDER new GAME Law
Negro Offender to Be Tried
In City Court

Ulysses Raglan, an Americas negro.
Is now aware of the fact that the
feathered tourist, Robin Redbreast
Bmould be immune fran slaughter.
while sojourning here. Raglan was
arrested yesterday with several other
negroes upon the charge of killing
robins, which, under the state game
law, is forbidden, and placed under
. bond of $50 for appearance before
+ City court
The killing of robins here recently
has been very general, but little eff
fort has been made to apprehend the
small boy unless he commits some
depreciation to property, or is impu-
dent to people upon whose premises
he hunts the birds. This does not,
however, make the killing of robins
by boys any less of an offense against
the game law.

ALL THREE SAY WILL
GO TO ATLANTA
Much Interest Felt In Out
come Of Hearing

All three of the committee that is
to represent the municipal govern
ment of Americas at the meeting be-
fore the Georgia Railroad Commission
at Atlanta on next Wednesday have
expressed their intention of going.
Aldermen Council and Allen yester-
day stated to a Times-Recorder re-
preventative that it was their inten-
ton to accompany the mayor, so I'M
less soemthing unforeseen occurs,
there will be a full delegation when
the commission takes up the question
of granting the lighting company the
privilege requested Of issuing bonds
to the extent of $4,000.
No interviews that have appeared
in The Times-Recorder in a long
time have been read with more in
terest and care than the three deal
ing with this question, published on
Thursday morning The clear cut, con-
else statements from Mayor Mathis,
Alderman Council and Manager Hag-
arty, gave the public far better idea
than it had before of the issue in
volved. AS one we'll known citizen
stated to a Times-Recorder reporter
yesterday:
81 must confess | was entirely at
loss to know why the city government
should interfere in such a matter as
this. At first blush l thought it was
an unwarranted interference with a
private corporation and the Railroad
Commission. Bat after reading the in
terviews furnished by the mayor and
Alderman Council | had far clearer
comprehension of the matter. | really
feel thankful to those officials for
throwing this light on the subject.
Their statements and Mr. Hagarty S
statement enabled all of our citizens
to understand the question that is put
before the Railroad Commission, and
we can now follow it's actions intelli-
gently"
