ALBANY KIWANIS
GUBPLAYS HOST
Americus Party Helps ii
Get Rid of Fried
Chicken

The fried chicken and barbecue set
before their guests in generous guam
titles by the Albany K1wanis club dis
appeared rapidly before the onslaught
of 13 visiting Americas Kiwanians
who attended the charter presentation
ceremonies of Albany club at Blue
Springs, A miles out from Albany at
o'clock last evening. The affair was
staged in the dancing pavilion at the
springs where about $50 were seated
at two long tables Besides the AL
bany members and their ladies and
the Americas delegation, Columbus
ives represented by II Kiwanias, the
new Eastman club had its representa-
tives present and District Governor
Bob Vessels, of Atlanta, was on hand
to make the charter presentation, ac-
companied by Good Roads" Frank
Reynolds and half a dozen other XII
wanians from the Capital City.
AS the opportunity presented itself
when the visiting clubs were called
upon to be heard from, President
Lewis Ellis renewed the invitation
previously extended by mail to all the
Kiwanians present to be guests of the
Americus club at its charter presenta-
ton at the Windsor hotel next Thurs
day night, June II. Albany signified
she would send good representation
while the Columbus party vowed that
between rs and. 100 were planning
to make the trip from that city.
Governor Bob and guard Of honor
also will be here from Atlanta, and
other clubs too will be represented.
The affair last night at Albany was
a pleasurable event. Excellent orches-
ira music and three solos enlivened
the members between addresses, of
which there were several. George J.
Galloway, president of the Albany
club, presided. John H. Mock, secre-
tary of the Albany Chamber of Com
merce, batting for Mayor Peacock,
delivered brief address of welcome,
to which Attorney Robert Jones, Jr.,
OF Atlanta, responded eloquently. At
torney John D. Pope, of Albany, who
let the audience know that he would
stand for any entitlement except Col
oneI. entertained the diners with a
rambling talk in which he boosted
Albany and good-naturedly belittled
the other towns of this section, in
Guiding Columbus and Americus, but
admitted that Americas had a place
IN his heart because he had come here
to get a wife. Frank Reynolds spoke
on "Kiwanis," which he briefly sum-
med up in the word Service" but
took occasion to tell something of the
glories and greatness of our state, and
incidentally put over two or three

A Shampoo That VIII
Not Harm The Hair

Just as a cheap and strong soap
draws and burns the skin, cheap
shampoos, pastes and emulsions con-
tain an excess of alkali and draw and
burn the hair, causing it to lose its
color and life. If you are not careful
in selecting preparations with which
to wash the hair it is liable TO suffer
an injury.
Shuco Shampoo is prepared from
the highest quality of cocoanut and
palm oils perfectly saponified and sus-
pended in perfect solution that when
applied to the hair two or three tea
spoonful and rubbed briskly at once
makes a bushel of creamy, rich, bub-
bling and sparkling lather. Before
it all dirt vanishes, leaving the scalp
nd hair perfectly clean, lustrous, bril-
liant and soft as silk. Your mirror
will tell you why Shuco Shampoo
makes hair with thousand lights. At
all drug stores. adv

RECEPTION AT PARSONAGE
AFTERNOON.

Delightful among the large social
affairs of the week was the reception
given to the ladies of First Metho-
dist church yesterday afternoon at
the parsonage from A to 6 o'clock.
Informal invitations had been issued
to every member of the congrega
ton, and many of them called. A
special feature of the entertainment
was the welcome to the young ma
irons of the church who have recently
united with the various departments
of the church service.
The affair being entirely informal,
there was no receiving line, and a
gracious welcome was given to each
arrival upon entering the pretty
home. Under auspices of the mis-
sionary societies of the church, the
various committees carried out to
the minuet detail the entertainment
of the guests.
The reception hall, where large
punch bowl was placed on table
against a background of luXuriant
ferns, was charming with its adorn-
ment of calliopsis in the golden and
red tones peculiar to this gorgeous
summer flower. A large wicker jar
held magnificent orange cannas, and
tall brass floor vases blossomed with
wealth of daisies. Upon the stair
way leading from the reception room,
were placed vases of yellow SUM
flowers. White and green ribbon
grass was used on the upper land
ing, and in the living rooms above,
open to the inspection of the guests,
were arranged white hydrangeas in
the blue and rose room, pink roses
and sweet peas in the sunshiny study,
orange -colored flowers in the guest
room.
The living room and dining room
were thrown together for the occa-
sion, and these were lovely in their
adornment of sweet peas. These
were arranged on the mantels, on ta-
bles and placed in floor vases, and
the scene was one of delicate beauty
against the background of rose and
white draperies, and the pearl tints
of the walls. Upon the dining ta-
BILE was placed a handsome service of
white and gold china, a royal gift of
the ladies of the church to the par
sonage. The young women of the
church bestowed a service of cut
glass sherbet glasses, and with these
went a service of tall tea glasses with
hand decorated wooden coasters. A
punch bowl was placed in the dining
room, and from this fruit nectar was
served by Miss Flora Bacot, Miss
Cornelia Wallis, Miss Ira Gatewood
while Miss Marie Bell, Miss Ann
Heys and Miss Nettie Claire McMath
dispensed punch in the reception
hall. Sandwiches were served
throughout the afternoon.
More than one hundred ladies call
i ed to felicitate Rev. and Mrs. Guy,
ton Fisher, popular among a wide
circle of friends, upon this happy
occasion, the first real house-warming
since the renovation of the parson
age. Much admiration was express
ed by the guests for the beauty anC
daintiness of the interior the worl
of the congregation, ably assisted b!
Mrs. Fisher, who helped with the Sc
lection of the accessories.

good stories, in the telling of which
he is recognized as a master.
When Leland ]. Henderson, secre-
tary of the Columbus club, told of
the greatness of Columbus, and how
it was about to extend its boundaries
to Americus, and said it would do so
if Albany would meet her on the other
side, President Ellis of the Americus
club, volunteered the information
that both of them would have an ideal
center for a great city.
The program closed with the char
ter presentation made in brief talk
by Governor Vessels. The Atlanta
party then hurried to catch the night
train for Atlanta, while most of the
diners remained to participate in a
D. A. r. benefit dance.
