Augusta Locals

One of Augustus popular young men
started out yesterday to add new lau-
rels to his sporting crown. He went
hunting partridges-not with No. SIS
nor even with a shotgun, but with a
rifle He wanted to give the birds a
chance. He hadn't the heart to per-
form easy execution with a shotgun.
He wanted to show his companion the
really sportsmanlike method Of nip
ping the heads from unsuspecting bid
dies and leave them in condition to be
eaten without fears of broken teeth on
cunningly hidden lead pellets. They
arrived in the woods. The respectful
companion suggested that the Augusta
Daniel Boone load the trusty rifle.
Bittu-er-Boone looked blank. The en-
lightened companion explained. Daniel
wasn't used to that make of gun. The
one he learned with Just had trigger
or something to pull and then it shot
Maybe someone else loaded it; he
couldn't remember. Just let his COM
panion put cartridge in and he'd show
him how to shoot. AS his companion
didn't have any 1856 ammunition for
the borrowed artillery, the biddies will
retain their unsuspecting heads for the
present.

ADJUSTMENTS
Bob OFT and "Yours Truly"

Joyful Bob OFT and his company
opened a weeks engagement at the
Augusta Opera House Monday, pre-
senting the new musical farce, Yours
Truly" at both matinee and evening
performances. The play which is filled
with rich humor, drew large audiences
and was especially pleasing to the Au-
gusta theatres oers. -
The entire cast was excellent. OF
course, Bob OFT was the center OF
mirth around which the other charac-
tiers revolved. Mr.. OFT played part
which was particularly adapted to his
original style Of comedy, and made a
big fli.. The other members of the
cast, whose work was very creditable,
were: Ed Howell, Ralph Bold, Carl
Convey and Misses Pearl Danforth, Car
RE Engel and Lillian Shattuck.
The play was filled with funny
complications, which followed each
other in swift rotation and at frequent
intervals the chorus of prettily cos
TUNED girls kept the interest alive.
The musical numbers of the play were
we'll received. among the gems being:
Birth of a Nation" Mother, May !
Go in to SWIM" Beatrice Fairfax"
and the selections rendered by the
quartet made up Of Messrs. OFT. Gov
ey, Bold and Howell.
The staging Of the play was very
satisfactory, the scene representing the
Harcourt. Gardens, Marion, Mass, in
October. 1914.
The company will present different
play each day during it's engagement
in the city The presentation at to-
days performances will be the farce,
"On the March," written by Matthew
OFT and said to be one, if not the very
best farces he ever wrote. Eighteen
catchy musical numbers will be in
troduced during the action Of the
play.
New pictures will be shown before
the play each day, from to 3 o'clock
in the afternoon and from to
O'Clock in the evening. After the play
Wednesday evening there will be a
Charlie Chaplin" contest, in which
girls as well as boys are invited to
participate. On Friday, evening after
the play there will be an amateur con-
test for local talent.

Nobody with a grain of sense or
an ounce of patriotism wants this
country to go to the dogs for political
advantage. 1t would be better for
all of us if the Wilson policies could
produce prosperous times. No adj
ministration ever had a more patient
support from the people irrespective
OF party, Notwithstanding large ma
jority did not endorse, much less ask
for the things which have been given
us under the false assertion that
the mandates of the people were be-
ing carried out. The same nos
trums have been tried in the men,
ory of many of us and proved dis
astrious to the whole country. Not
to Democrats, or Republicans, but to
all of us. The same conditions are
upon us now. and the worst is yet
to come. We are called calamity
howlers for mentioning conditions,
which in every day conversations. all
admit. Some of our Democratic
friends not only demand that We
look pleasant while being drawn and
quartered, but actually expect us to
smile.
