ENSLEY ELKS WILL
 GIVE ANNUAL SHOW
Merchants Appeal to Gus toners to Shop Early and
 Avoid Christmas Rush

Indications point to one of the biggest and best minstrel entertainments that has ever been given in the Steel City when the local lodge of Elks present their annual minstrel show at their home on the nights of December 19, 20 and 21. Chairman Tom Moxley and the commit tee in charge have spared no pains to make the minstrel g. big success and q record breaking crowd is expected. The programme has been completed and the participants are rehearsing nightly for the big event.
 According to Col. P. L. Day, one of the pioneers of the Elks lodge, and Q connoisseur in dramatic art, the pro- gramme this year surpasses the famous performance in the days of old" when J. F. Kent sang, My Steel Plant Maid in Q fiat, with variations, and Max Mel lon and Kenneth White got indicted for false pretense when they billed them selves as black-face comedians. and when Billy Palmer escaped the clutches of the law by singing his number in Welsh, as the police didn't know whether he was trying to sing or gargling for a sore throat.
 The programme this year provides many novel features and the show will be staged on scale of magnifcence never attempt ed before in an amateur performance in this district The songs will include some of the latest popular selections, as well as a few of the well beloved classics. There will be jokes of vintage and van tage, old and new, but all good. The entire performance will be a merry me lange of mirth, music and minicry and capacity crowds are expected for the three nights of the entertainment The proceeds go to fill the Christmas bas- kets of the poor and needy of Ensley and vicinity.
 The merchants of Ensley have made an appeal to the citizens to do their Christmas shopping early, so as to avoid the holiday rush and delay. The majority night to give the people chance to do their shopping before Christmas week.
 Friday and yesterday were pay-days at the steel plant, and many thousands of dollars were paid out to the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad companys em- ployes. Business was good with all of the merchants and the banks yesterday. Instead of going to Birmingham to jo their shopping, the majority of the steel mill employees did their shopping with the Ensley merchants.
