The Chautauqua conducted at Wa
terproof last week was a pronounced
success and was certainly great treat
to every one who was so fortunate as
to attend even a single performance.
The Radcliffe Chautauqua, under
whose supervision the entertainments
were given, is regarded as one of the
foremost concerns of its kind i'm the
United States. Its reputation was
splendidly upheld by the attractions
staged at Waterproof and each num-
Der deserves special mention. 1t is
impossible for the Gazette to give full
need of praise to the several book
ings, bnt we voice the sentiments of
all attendants in saying that the af.
fair was educative, instructive and
high-class and altogether most de-
lightful.
The Chantauqua was promoted by
Mrs. Randall Hunter, Mrs. M. Kull-
man and Mr.. Guy Hunter, who were
ably assisted by a coterie of ladies
and gentlemen of Waterproof and
other sections OF the parish. The pur-
pose of the Chautauqus was to raise
money to aid the Red Cross organiza-
ton in this parish and all funds real
ICED above cost of the lyceum course
with incidental expenses were devot-
ed to that worthy cause. About 800
was realized, which was quite satisfac-
tory, but mad the people throughout
the parish known what magnificent
treat awaited them the attendance
would have been greater. So pleased
were the promoters with the talent
given them that contract was signed
before their departure for another
lyceum course again next spring,
when, barring bad weather, crowded
houses will be assured.
The local management has request.
ed the Gazette to express thanks TO
all friends who rendered assistance in
the affair q success as we'll as
the public generally for their liberal
Prizes were awarded to the ladies
selling the greatest number of tickets.
The winners were Misses Essie Marks
and Evelyn Hunter.

Thomas Aggregation Pulls Another Notch Nearer the
 State Championship
EARLY LEAD HELPS
 THE LOCAL SQUAD
Sidney-Lanier Boys Play Fine Game is Second Half-Hall and Jones Star at Guard for Central.
 Return Game to Be Played

Central High school gained one more step toward the state high championship Saturday afternoon by defeating the sid-
 ney Lanier High school of Montgomery
 on the court of the Birmingham Athletic club by the score of g to P. The game was closely contested to the last, but the Central team proved their superiority
 throughout.
 In the first half the Centralites got away to a flying start and for the first
 five minutes 1t looked as though the game
 was going to develop into a walkaway
 The Montgomery boys played poorly in the first half and only recorded three field goals. The Central team was never headed in their fight for victory. With Shine" Montgomery leading the attack, the Central boys easily outplayed their rivals, and the half ended with the score IS to 8 in favor of Central. The Sidney Lanier boys got a late start, but outplayed Central in the last half. The Sidney Lanier team started off like a cyclone in the second half in their ef- fort to wrest the victory from the Thomas team, and with Jones. their star forward, leg ding the fight, they made four field goals before the Central boys knew what
 lad happened Central rallied and the final half was played on an even basis. each team registering 14 points. Good guarding on the part of Sidney Lanier helped to keep the Central score down. 1 The Montgomery boys have the making | of great team, and in another year should be in the fight for the charnpion- ship, and they deserve credit due to tho
 fact that they have only one varsity man left from last year, as they lost four of the brilliant team of last year. l Central plays the Sidney Lanier team . return game next Friday in Montgomery
 and the Poets have chance to get their
 loEg-sought revenge. The playing of
 Jones and Williams at forward for the
 Poets was good, while Worthington's
 guarding was good. The whole Central team played good, but the guarding of
 Hall and Jones was great. Captain Mont
 gomery played with his usual brilliance. | The summary follows:
