The Present. Carnival

What the Triton (Ga) Gazette
has to say of the Clifton-Kelly show
which we are exhibiting in Fitzger-
aid this week
The Clifton-Kelly Shows, which
are with us this week, while not tie
largest slow of its kind that has
paid us a visit is certainly one Of
the cleanest and incest outfits of
the kind today. In spite of the in,
clement weather. all the attractions
and concessions say, they, have
been doing a good business.
Each and every attraction with
this company is well worth the
price of adm lssion charged and
they carry with them one of the
best bands and the best merry 60
rounds ever seem here.
The Jolly Entertainers is by
far the most popular SHOVE On the
ground. In it enc may see one of
the clas5est little minstrel and
plantation shows ever presented
here for the admission charge.
Second in favor cones the Edna
show, which is a combined vaude-
vile with moving pictures. Real
vaudeville, illustrated songs and
upto-date moving pictures are pre-
scented.
The most talked of feature with the
show is Dixie" said to be the fat
est girl on earth. The by-word all
over town this week is Have you
seen DiXie?"
In the big 5 in one show are found
strange animals of all descriptions.
The company has the most attrac.
tive line of concessions every shown
here. Among the most popular are
the Japanese Vase Stand, the Candy
Wheel and the Poodle Dog Wheel
have made a big hit with the ladies,
while the. men have shot at the
birds, thrown at the babies and
lodging monkeys to their hearts
content.
The company goes to Fitzgerald
from here.

In the Race

There is certainly nothing more
noble than helping worthy cause
and l am sure the good people Of
Fitzgerald know this and are eager
and willing to do their share in aid
ing one SUI h cause.
Listen, friends, and you will see
how YOU may help. AS you all
know, there is now in. progress a
piano contest and we all wish to see
some worthy person get that p ano;
also, there are many Of US who get
the votes who have no one to give
them to, but would, if we knew of
some one who deserves them.
Friends, there is one little girl
who is working for that piano who
deserves it if anyone ever did de-
serve anything. This is Miss Oracle
Davis. She is the daughter of a
Federal soldier and her widowed
mother is striving to give her four
children the best which the world
has for them. Oracle is a good,
Christian girl, very amiable and
sweet of disposition, and this alone
is one reason why she deserves the
piano. But there is a stronger rea-
son yet: She is passionately fond of
music and is trying to fit herself for
a teacher. She gave up her school
work that she might aid her mother
in the home work, and all her spare
time she devotes to her music.
Now, good people, all you who de-
light in good work, give your sup
port to this young girl and help her
to win the piano. BY doing so. you
will not only make yourselves and
her happy, but you will be. giving
her an opportunity to help herself.
am sure she would greatly APP
preciate your AID and would never
cause you to regret having helped

miats, and in the ice cream which
was frozen with the letter S" in the
center. The place cards were hearts
pierced with cupid's arrow, and were
hand-painted in apple blossoms and
tied with pink satin ribbon. Between
two of the courses Mrs. Levin reclt-
ed, choosing humorous pieces.

 In the fast work that won for Laurel Hill, Revell was star performer, lead ing all the shooters of both teams in total goals scored with seven baskets to his credit Brown left guard for Colchester, gave Revell a close race for the individual honors, shooting six baskets. but the two Colchester for wards were useless in registering goals against the stiff guarding of their op- ponents.

 Persistent talk of @ reduction in the dividend on the preferred stock of the Republic Iron and Steel company was responsible for extreme weakness in the company's securities, but in some well informed quarters of the street it was thought that the houses who sold the issues were not operating on real knowledge of the company's dividend outlook, but on a desire to bring about a general decline in order to accumu- late stocks in other parts of the mar ket.

HOW JIMMY RECTOR
 LOST ON A START.
Taught Walker, His Rival, How to
 Leave the Mark.


 There was a good deal of surprise in the Olympics four years ago when the comparatively unknown Walker of South Africa trimmed our Jimmy Rec tor in the hun Ira1. Rector had estab- lishe1 his ability in the University of Virginia, and he was looked on as sure winner. According to Rector him. self, this is how the upset happened:
 When tho American team reached London I had been there only few hours when man introduced himself to me. He said he was from South Africa and was training g young man who would compete against me in the hundred.
 He told me that tue youngster un- der his charge knew little about the game, but had the native ability to become a great runner. He complain ed that his starting was bad and asked me to lend helping hand. I agreed.
 "The next day I was introduced to Reggie Walker. He had a wretched crouch for the start. He began with 8 long ster and ruined his stride showed him my start, the short first stepNand low crouch, and he took great pains to study my style. I worked with him a shore while and then went about my training under Mike Mur- phys instructions. All that day, though, Walker dogged my steps. He watchel my starts closely
 "The next day the American team went to Brighton for two weeks train ing. I dida't see Walker again until the day of our race. When we went on the track for little preliminary practice I soon noticed that Walker had mastered my start.
 When the race was on he got away from the mark with me It was the first time l hadn't shaded my com petltors at the start. We ran neck aud neck and be beat my by half stride.
 T am satisfied that I could have beaten Walker had he not known my system of starting. But always re- member that Walker was great run- ner"
