PLANTERS OF NEW SALEM
NEIcHBoRHooD FORM
LOAN ASSOCIATION.
MEETING TO BE
HELD SATURDAY
Citizens Preparing to Avail
Themselves of Opportunities
Offered by Uncle Sam.

Planters and property holders re-
siding in the northeastern section Of
Lowndes county will hold a meeting
at New Salem next Saturday for the
purpose of forming farm loan as
sociation, thus placing themselves n
a position to obtain money from the
farm loan bank which is soon to be
established by the federal govern
ment at some point in this section
for the purpose of making loans to
land owners who are engaged in agri-
cultural pursuits.
Farmers who expect to obtain
money from the proposed farm loan
banks must first organize farm loan
associations, and this will be the first
step taken in Lowndes county to-
wards the formation of such an or
ganization.
The meeting was proposed by
Prof. B. G. Hull, an enterprising
planter of the community in which
it is to be held, who has made a
close study of the farm loan bank
plan and who realizes the necessity
for forming the proposed organiza-
ton among the farmers.

jolly May Irwin the inimitabe and
ever popular comedienne will be the
attraction at the Columbus Theatre
this evening in her latest and by
critics said to be her greatest sue
cess, "33 Washington Square" The
play is founded on the novel of the
same name by Leroy Scott, and was
dramatized by him for Miss Irwin
Both the actress and play have been
given cordial welcomes at New York,
Boston and Chicago, last season. May
Irwin will bring her New York east
and production here with her.
The play tells the amusing adven-
lures of Mrs. DePuyster, social
leader Of No. 33 Washington Square.
and her housekeeper, Matilda MAY
Irwin Mrs. DePuyster, owing to
sudden shortage of money, aban-
dons a trip to Europe to remain Sc
cretly in her home. Her housekeep-
er alone knows the secret.
The fun of the play develops in
their attempts to keep Mrs. DePuys-
ter's presence from the knowledge
Of her family, friends and servants.
Miss Irwin's fun-making alone would
probably be sufficient to carry the
play to success, but nevertheless she
has surrounded herself with an ex-
ceptional supporting company.
During the action Of the play Miss
Irwin will las has been her custom
/ for years) sing a number Of the lat
est songs in her inimitable manner
among them will be "Buzzer
Around" song that promises tc
