LOCAL ARTISTS
 ON MUSIC CARD
Erickson Announced Free Entertainment At

The musical festival which will open the new municipal auditorium the week of October 19, promises to be one of the most auspicous occasions ever witnessed in Birmingham. One of the most bril- liant list of artists ever assembled in Birmingham will offer programs during the week.

Carl Herring, a brilliant pianist of European school ing, who recently became affiliated with music circles here, will be one of the conspicuous figures during the week.

 Appearing with Mir. Herring on Thursday night, will be another artist, whose closing year a the Royal COnser- vatory at Naples, was made up of q succession of real achievements. This IS Vincent Marsicano, who comes to Bir- mingham representing family of re- cognized musicians.
 Birmingham music lovers are always interested in programs announcing the appearance of Mrs. May Shackelford, soprano, whose voice, since her sum- mer season in Chicago, has developed a luscious timber characteristic of the operatic stage. The fourth member of the group appearing the same night will be Irwin Taylor, cellist, who holds the distinction of being one of the favorite artists performing with the Cincinnati symphony two seasons ago. MT. Fay. Tor has appeared as soloist with the municipal orchestra on several Occa- sions.
 These artists will all appear Thurs day night, one of the free concerts of the week. At the close of this program the general public will be allowed to inspect the building.

TURKEY COST TWO
DOLLARS A POUND
A Young Dawsonian Doesn't Want
Any More at Price He Paid for
One at Sylvester Recently.

Turkeys are bringing fancy price
in Sylvester this season; at least that
is what Jack Jones, star athlete of
Dawson Hi, thinks about it. 1t hap
pened this way.
Some weeks ago an automobile
loaded with football players from
Dawson was en- route to Sylvester to
meet the team of that city. As they
neared the Worth county capital they
encountered a number OF turkeys in
the middle OF the road Jack. who
was at the steering wheel, made an
effort to miss them and thought he
had succeeded until he reached Sv1-
vester, when he discovered that one
OF the Thanksgiving and Christmas
birds had broken its neck in the wreck
and was Wedged between the fender
and hood OF the car where it was max
ing its last kick when found. As the
turkey was not damaged young Jones
took it to the hotel and had it prepar-
ed for the crowd who went from here
to witness the game and they cele-
brated the victory OF Dawson by feast
ing on II.
The owner OF the turkey by some
means learned the name OF the driver
of the car, and Thursday Jack receiv-
ed greeting from Sylvester which
urged his immediate presence at court
which was then in session. Not desir-
ing to be discourteous or inconven-
fence the officials, he promptly and gra-
ciously complied with their request
The sequel was that II men good and
true decided that this particular ttu-
key was worth 81 per pound, and
Jones was asked to pay the cost
OF the proceedings, which he did. All
together, the turkey cost him $50 as
well as a days absence from school.
The young man states that he has
had several chances to buy turkeys at
the price paid for the one at Sylves-
ter, but he has refused, the Christmas
holidays being still little distant.
