The who's Who" edition of The

people here even more enthusiastical-

The idea of compiling an accurate

it the best county in all Southwest
Georgia struck a popular chord.
Nothing like the issue to be gotten

Every man who has been visited
with one exception has signed up
for space, and the one referred to
will submit his copy before the end
of the week The business men of
Americas are a unit in fayoring the
idea of big who's Who edition,
and they are. all coming in as fast
as seen. Mrs. Gertrude Ray Butts,
who is in charge of the work of can

that vast majority of those she has
interviewed have commended the
work as one peculiarly appropriate to
the times.
The "Woman's Page" which will be
one of the big features of the edition
will be read by thousands, and in its
columns there win be wealth of in
formation of real and sentimental
value to Americas people. There will

bodice has the effect Of a short jacket
which buttons under fly at the front,
and the plain skirt--with fiat saddle
bag pockets applied-is gathered on
to 1t. The sleeves are three-quarters
length and the dress Is worn over a

simplest sort Of needlework trimming
merely silk floss in outline stitch
forming squares that border all edges
in the bodice and on the pockets.
Plaid and plain gingham or plaid

for the other dresses. In this model the
skirt is plated and set on to a plain
body. There are two narrow belts Of
the plaid goods, the lower one ter
minating under narrow box plat in
the front of the skirt and the upper
one fastening with a plain button.
The white pique collar and cuffs are

of freshening up the frock and teach

enoff, of the anti-Bolshevik leader,
has crossed the Siberian frontier and
retaken Matsievski station, west of
Manchuli, capturing prisoners. The
Japanese troops are engaged with the
Bolshevik near Dauria.
On the Ussiri front north Of Vlad-
ivostok the Bolshevik have retired six
miles before the general advance by
all allied forces.
American and japanese troops, the
advices add. are entraining for the
Ussuri front.
News from the front, it is added, is
meagre owing to the fact that the
Japanese have taken over the giving
out of information from the Czechs.
The japanese are said to be extremely
reticent
It is reported that the allies have
taken over the operation of the rail-
ways. 1t is probable the railways
will be operated by the American en-
gineers under John F. Stevens.
