A bill that should, on sheer merit.
evoke the most dattering admiration
Eof the theatre going public, was in
augurated at the Plaza yesterday af-
ternoon before a large and enthusiast

headed the vaudeville attractions with
a musical extravaganza eve say ext
ltravaganza because of the ella borate-
ness of the stage settings) that sur
passes anything of it's type seen To-
cally in many a moon. There are four
women and two men in the cast and
each is skilled with more than one in
strument. Their report ire varied from
sentimental to rag time and several
masterpieces of the old masters were
beautifully rendered. -
Baker, Sherman & Branigan have a
neat and classy singing offering which,
though injected with sufficient nairth,
is happily devoid of the boisterousness
that often makes male singing trfos a
bore. They have splendid voices and
a good line of songs that they know
how to put over in up-to-date fashion,
and they please the audience.
Tabor & Hanley, a man and woman

choose to term Breezy Summer

in registering a complete hit.

other prominent church workers OF
Atlanta. They are securing home for
$500 delegates.
All white Sunday schools in the
state are entitled to three delegates
besides pastor and superintendent
Every Sunday school in the county is
Requested to elect three alternate
delegates who can take the place of
any regular delegate who finds it i'm
possible to attend. In case any school
or church that has no school, fails
to elect delegates, the first three
adults who register from that school
will be counted as delegates.
Each delegate will be furnished free
entertainment for lodging and break
fast while attending the convention.
This arrangement was made because
pny church in a city the size of Atlanta
is several miles from the majority of
the homes. For this reason the Off
GERS of the state association felt that
the delegates would prefer getting
their lunches and suppers at down
town restaurants near the convention
church.
A very low railroad rate has been
granted from various parts of the
state The round trip rate from Amer
icus is $685..

Troops in Pursuit of Bandits.

a new American expedition may al

suing the bandits who raided Glenn
Springs and Alpine, Texas, Friday
night Secretary of War Baker stated
this afternoon that General Funston's
orders give him complete authority to
cross the border on a hot trail" when
ever necessary. No additional reports
concerning the raid had reached the
war department at noon, and early
statements of the depredations are ac-
cepted by the authorities here as being
wholly accurate.
A report formed from the basis of
consular reports received sunday, has
been sent to General Carranza, but no
specific request for additional Mex
lean troops to better protect the Dor
der will be sent the de facto govern
ment. At the state department, it was
assumed, however, that General Obre-
gon has already ordered the pursuit of
tie raiders by Mexican troops.
