miss BLUE EYES"

The Augusta Chronicle of Decem.
Der 9th, says
Miss Blue Eyes at the Grand last
hight proved to be one of the most
delightful surprises Of the season,
and if the advance notices had given
the public an idea for what really
high class musical comedy it was
there would have been larger audi
ence.
The music is by Silvio Helm and has
|all of the intoxicating "Jazzy' charm,
characteristic of Helms music. The
book by George Hobart fairly spar
kles with cleverness; the company is
an extremely good one and the play
las well staged. Archie Foulk as Pid-
geon and Peter Macarthur as Wild,

work could have been done in these

was that it was perfectly clear

uppermost in the minds of those who
believe in these expositions is the fai,

support from the fourcorners of the
earth, for. whatever may be said o,
other fairs. it is an incontrovertible
fact that this fair, held in Orlando
Florida, from February 10th to 18th
1920, probably brings more visitors in
the state to one place than any other
It Is held at the right time to influence
this class of visitors and all who are
in anyway interested in Florida enter

to be on the ground.
For ten successive years, without
regard to drawbacks of weather or

Man never is but always to be blest,
So sang the bards in all the ages past
And died in hope of better days at
last. !. tir
The ancient scers beheld the coming
day,
When Peace should rule with univer-
sal sway
And all the world enjoy a reign Of
When war and carnage should for

But wars, more terrible than e'er be-

Have drenched the soil of earth with
human gore,
And unknown thousands sleep be-
meath the waves,
With no monuments to mark their
nameless graves.
Prophets foretold the coming Of the
day
When lambs and lions should togeth-

When armies would forsake their
bloody trade,
And sabers into pillow shares all be

Instead Of battles grim and bloody

LAST LIVERY HORSE
TAKEN FROM SERVICE
Georgetown, Ohio, Now Is without Il
Single Horse For Hire, For the
First Time In Its History.

"Old Aunty," the last livery horse
in Georgetown, was sold by Mr.. w. X.
Waters last Saturday, leaving the town
without a livery horse for the first
time in its history. Georgetown in
years past was one of the best points
for the livery business in the county,
supporting four and five livery stables,
keeping horses for hire. Travelling
men were conveyed regularly to points
in the three counties, many trips TAX
ing them to even the neighboring
counties across the river.
Those who remember the years gone
by tell of the great pride taken by
those conducting livery business, in
the outfits which were turned out. The
number and class of horses, and the
style of conveyance was a matter of
great pride. Beside this there was the
sleighing equipment At the Waters
barn, which now has disposed of the
last horse, there are those who can re-
member when upon the second floor
the row of sleighs kent reached entire
around the building. They rented in
the sleighing season for one dollar an
hour, which means when compared
with now, five dollars an hour.
But all of this has changed, People
commenced demanding quicker trans
portation facilities with the coming of

garages sprang up. Livery barns

The Georgetown (Ohio) News-Demo-

The general impression is that there
will be larger fruit crop this season
than there has been the past few sea-
sons. Even cherries, which were said
to have been destroyed, are going to
make more than half crop. Where
bloom appeared after the frost it is
found alive. Some people say that a
second bloom has appeared upon their
trees which is for making fruit. Apples
and peaches are a heavy bloom, while
small fruit have a satisfactory pros
pect.
People are already discussing how
this coming crop shall be made ready
for winter use without being compell-
ed to use sugar. For a time the price
of sugar made a condition which pro-
hibits preserving but many have decid-
ed that what they need will be dried.
They are familiarizing themselves
with the best methods for drying this
fruit. Wherever possible canning will
be undertaken by the cold water pro-
cess and this, with the evaporation
process. means that there will enough
fruit made ready for winter use, even
though sugar continues at the un-
reasonable prices which are now
asked.
