The mothers Of the high school
seniors were honored by a five
courss luncheon given in the
dining room of the domestic
science labratory last Friday after

The room was prettily deco

surpassed only by the dainty
maids themselves.
Miss Perkins entertained the
company by playing some well
chosen victrola records, using as
a last number, "Mother Machree'
after which Miss Boylan read
some appropriate Mother selec-
tions.
The guests were unanimous in

There's Catholic cancellation for you!
That's what they do, whenever they are

And had it not been for the fact that they
have been unable to work the same deyiIish

The facts are given me by the indomitable

Southern lady who furnished the facts OH

young women, like Laura Stone, to slave their
lives away in the popes Good Shepherd laun-

AS you do so, remember that the Pete Dig

IN sac maonths,' was doing exactly the same
thing that the Macon Catholics did, acHen Mey
threatened to ruin the Hotel Dempsey.
COLE HAD DONE HIS DUTY, BUT HAD ENRAGED
THE CATHOLICS BY II.
When Mr. Cole, going to Tampa to find
work, was met by the Catholic boycott, ar
ranged for in advance of his arrival he was
up against exactly the same fence that the
Macon "conciliators" had arranged for Reed
