Ocills Southern To
Suspend February l

According TO notice being publish
ed in this issue by the Receivers OF
the Ocilla Southern Railroad, this
road will suspend operations on Feb
ruary LIST. A strong effort is being
made by Della citizens and others in
terested along the line to raise funds
to keep the road from being junked.
Fitzgerald people put in over twen-
ty thousand dollars to extend this
road to Rochelle, fully aware that no
direct dividends would ever be forth
coming, but knowing that indirectly
our city would be benefited by the
probable increased trade territory.
This part OF the line suspended some
time ago aud now the rest of the
road with its terminals in Nashville,
is about to suspend. Locally this is re-
GREETED, but if Ocilla, Alapaha and
Nashville will raise their proportion
OF the money needed to save the road
to the section, Fitzgerald can be
counted on to do its full share.

Grand Opera In Atlanta
Beginning April I'll

ATLANTA, Ga.,-The announce

ril p has been received with great
interest by music lovers throughout
Georgia and the South, officials of the

state. Subscript on cards have been
sent out to former guarantors in var
lous parts of the South. The fund re-
CURED is $l25,0OO.
One opera never before heard in
Atlanta is on the list accepted by the
directors. 1t is "'Fodora" an opera
which was given a revival last month
by the Metropolitan.
"A new star or two are offered the
list OF principals including Elizabeth
Rethberg, the German soprano, who
has made such favorable impression
IN New York, and Ina Bourskaya, the
Russian soprano chosen for the title
role in Fedora" Edward Johnson the
American tenor, who created a sensa-
tom season or two ago, is also cast
Tor the title role in Faust"

nouncement is that Feodor Chal apin.
the great Russian basso, is booked for
two appearances.

Art Exhibit Is
Well Attended

The large attendant of school chill
dren and their admirable behavior at
the Opera House Saturday morning
was most gratifying TO the commit
tees, of the Woman's Club interested
in placing the exhibit of American
masterpieces before the Fitzgerald
people.
The collection proved to be por-
traits and portraiture instead of the
landscapes ordered. How ever the
exhibit proved highly entertaining and
the receipts more than paid the cost.
Mrs. Modena Rogers who is the best
known local artist in the city, gave
the interesting explanations of each
picture which made them more INTEL
iible and valuable. In some cases the
enlargement by the picture slide de-
tracted from the pictures, showing ev-
cry defect of proportion in a conspc-
rous way, also every sighted detail
as might be missed in a smaller por-
trait of the original size.
Also the coloring OF the slides may
be supposed to be crude in effect as
compared with the richness of the mas
terpieccs, but allowing for these diff
erences, they were good to look at and
certainly we'll to know about.
If the committee can procure the
collection of landscapes at future
time it is assured by this successful
showing that the response will be sat
isfactory, The adults present were
outnumbered by the children. Tho
attendance roll taken by wards showed
95 present from the First ward school,
80 from the Third Ward and 81 from
the Second
The High School roll was not taken
for this. The First Ward will soon
receive handsome framed picture in
token of their splendid response.
