HOLT IS PREMIER
OF COBURN SHOW

A l-balanced, genuine, old-fash-
ioned show, full of pep from start to
finish, was the kind of a show Joe
Coburn brought to Macon Friday. Dan
Holt, of Macon, one of the premier
blackface artists of the present days
of minstrelsy, plays the heavy role
backed up by Hank White, who has
made thousands laugh and who won
no measly hand at the matinee and
night show yesterday.
The singing was one of the feat
ure parts of the show. Edward c,
Clifford, Nate Mulroy, Norber c.
Lion and Dan Holt in song numbers
were roundly applauded, so was Mr.
White.
The singing and dancing diversity
of plantation days, which was ar.
ranged by Mr.. Holt personally, was
one fthe bright spots of the show
Dan made a hit with his banjo act
and proved he was some Eddie Ross
himself.
The harmony club sections were
above the average and we'll received
DeVaro and DeCarlo, blackface com
edy bar entertainers, was another
skit greatly enjoyed.
The show closes with a particularly
strong and amusing act, "Unde,
Arabian Skies" in which Holt anc
Hank White are the chief entertain
ers. This part of the show was writ
ten by Hank White and is a real At
ting stunt for the close.
Mr.. Coburn should feel proud o:
his aggregation of entertainers. Hi
show this year is the best yet ant
the people of Montezuma and tn
surrounding territory, where the com
pany plays tonight, have real trea
in store for them.-Macon, Ga, News

There was little skirmish down on
Silver Springs run yesterday after
noon. Mr.. Allen Rodgers, who is in
charge of the Carmichael farm, was
alone in the farm house, and suffering
from a slight attack of fever. He
was lying down, when along came Mr..
Clyde Ray and invited himself IN. Mr..
Rodgers didn't want any company
just then, but Mr.. Ray insisted on
coming in anyhow. Mr.. Rodgers took
down his shotgun but Mr.. Ray didn't
seem to notice. Mr.. Rodgers says he
waited until Mr.. Ray was in foot Of
the gun muzzle before he pulled the
trigger. IF the distance had been
greater, Mr.. Ray would probably
have been killed, but he was too close
for the buckshot to scatter, and es-
capped with a severe wound on the side
OF his head. He isn't any gladder OF
that than Allen. Mr.. Ray was brought
to the Marion county hospital and his
wound dressed. Mr.. Rodgers was ar
rested, but promptly bailed out by
Messrs. Fl. C. Gordon and j. p. Gal
loway.
