Facts About the Civic Club

The most progressive society in Douglas today is the Civic Improve. ment Club, organized about year ago for the betterment of sanitary condi- tions in Douglas, and composed of all the women on the Island who were in- terested in the progressive idea, irre- spectiye of nationality, religion or political opinions.
 Briefly reviewing the work of last year, we glance first at "rin Can Day" our greatest success, when the club started out with debt of $l26. Then came the ball and little later 1.-The Old Maids Convention" which two en- tertaiuments enabled the club to wipe out it's indebtedness and left iu the treasury SIG. The Civic Club had charge of the "school house warming" and made it social event long to oe remembered. Once again the women of the Civic Club, acting with the other women's societies of the Island, worked for and helped to make the charity ball a grand success.
 The above mentioned events are bril- liant spots in the clubs short career, but it has done far more than shine periodically, for it has developed sympathy for humanity aud an under standing that by working together its borc ,a,, Ia rnnrb ryopA
 The club has taught us to clean up and keep clean; to burn bones and pairing; to rinse cans before placing them in receptacles; to have cans and rubbish hauled away, and to fight flies, mosquitoes and rats to their extermin atiou,
 Although the spirit of the Civic Club seems to be permeatiug every nook and corner of our little city, still there is room for much improvement, for there are gulleys and lots to be cleaned again; cans Co be picked up; blanks and rubbish to be carted away and burned; and few prejudices to over come. The women inteud devoting much time in order to sarmoont all obstacles and make health and cleauli- ness the prime factors of their efforts. There are two other things which fol low so closely that they cannot be over looked, the two most important being respect for law sud order, aud the beautifyiug of homes and gardens.
 When once again the town Is elean, it is every mans, woman's sDd ehiEd's duty to maintain cleanliness and rs speet the rights of others. individually and collectively.

In the wav OF sales society night
was the most productive Of the en-
tire show. The most prominent peO-
pile Of the city were represented at
the exhibition and they evidently had
come primarily for the purpose Of
purchasing their 1914 cars. Many Of
the dealers sold more cars than they
had expected to dIspose Of during the
whole show. All Of them took a graf
flying number of prospects" from
which some sales will result.
The number Of out-Of-tOwn deal
ers reached the high mark, If the
number Of contracts signed up for
1914 is an indication. Alabama, Flor
ida and South Carolina were nearly
AS well represented as was Georgia
outside Of Atlanta. Everyone agreed
that the South was in its most pros
porous condition for years and that
the automobile business for 1914 was
assured
From every point come stories of
an unprecedented demand for new
cars. Families which never before had
felt able to invest in an automobile
now were touched by the prosperity
that is spreading over the South and
were eager to buy a machine and IN
sisted that It must be a good one.

GEORGIA DINNER
TICKETS BEING
SOLD FAST
They Cost So Each, But One En-
titles Holder to a "Feed"
Worth SIS.

Every Albanian who intends to be
present at the 1000 plate Georgia
dinner, to be given next Tuesday
evening at the Auditorium under
Chamber of Commerce auspices, had
better hurry to Cones Whitehall
street drug store, or Elkins drug
store, at Five Points, and get his
ticket. If he waits too long there
may not be any ticket there.
These tickets are limited in num-
ber They are not like any other
tickets that were ever issued for a
banquet, because like the dinner it
self, they are not designed to make
money FOR anybody or even to pay
expenses, but simply to spread the
fame of Georgia products. The re-
suit is that each ticket is worth a
whole lot more than its face value.
Many of the supplies for the dinner
have been donated free and while the
ticket costs 80, the meal itself is one
that could not be served for SIS a
plate. In addition, each dinner ticket
has q long string of coupons emitting
the holder to number of articles
free, which total up in value almost
equal to the cost of the ticket. A
pair of socks, a glass of jelly, a box
of crackers and several other prac-
teal and useful articles are included
in it.
These tickets are going like hot
cakes. Several hundred of them have
been placed in the hands of the men,
beers of the City Salesmen's Associa-
ton, thanks to the kindness of Pres
ideDt Simmons and these active At
