ducts a military school at Green
Cove Springs, and everything
moves with military precision.
The captain arid his grand wife
bad me up by five a. m., gave me

Read what tne Atlanta Georgian
has to say about Waldeh who is
to be the Lyceum attraction here
Feb., 5th.
"The star attraction in an . en
tertainment for the children at
the Chautauqua Wednesday was
Lorenzo Walde, the magician.
It is the consensus of opinion
that many of his tricks of the
mystic art have never been sur
passed. His entertainment was
clever and artistic in the highest
degree. A notable . feature of !
his entertainment is the un
affected ease and simplicity with
which he. vperforpis his mys
terious feats. As a magician he
is a revelation to Atlanta people.
His performance was continuous
mirth and mystery from start to
finish."

Reports from many Southern

lowest temperature for many
years, and one negro was found
frozen to death. . ;.
All previous records were brok
on in Atlanta, North Georgia
10 degrees above and like re
ports come from Alabama and
Florida.
While prchardists believe that
the cold weather will be of in
estimable benefit to the peach
crop in Georgia, reports indicate
that strawberries and vegetables
have been practically ruined as
far south as the northern part of
Florida. A report f romT Pensa
cola says that the cold there was
more severe - tlian .that, experir
enced during- the freeze of ten
years ago. ' .
High winds prevailed through
out the day, and several hundred
thousands of dollars worth of
property was destoyed by fire in
Georgia and Florida.

A Box Supper.
On January, 23rd, at Fletcher
High
School the Ladies' . Aid
Society gave an -entertainment
in the way of a box supper. The'
boxes brought $17.20, and there
was a cake contest which brought
$17,20, to see which was .the
prettiest girl in the bousef Miss
Josie Rickman of Arden, N. C.i
and Miss Augusta Pless, of
Fletcher, were the young ladies.
The votes put in for Miss Pless
won the prize as being the most
beautiful . youug lady in , the
house, and I am sure she was.
There 'was coffee to sell and it
all came to $33.50. ' I am glad to
say the young people of Fletcher,
when called upon for charitable
purposes are always ready to
lend a helping hand. .

more attached to its people the
longer I stay. , My dealings with
everyone here have been the
most satisfactory and I shall feel
only regret when my Henderson
ville ties are severed. ,
While I am leaving here my
self I shall continue the Book
Store under competent manage
ment I have secured the build
ing in the Bailey blocknow oc
cupied by Mr. Michael's music
hoise and will move the book
store to that place about March
1st ; - - . .
As I am leaving no one in the
store" for the present but Miss

my friends will be glad to see
them and extend to them a
hearty welcome when they call.
With a heart full of the warm
est friendship and gratitude to
you all, believe me.
Sincerely,

old price, and. will have a special
sale for this1 purpose. "
In the lot will be found dress
goods, Ladies' underwear, beau
tiful skirts, clothing, shoes, many
other articles. The3e goods are
just as good for actual use as
they ever were, but not- in first

it will be a - rare opportunity for
economical buyers.
Watch, for announcement of
date of the special sale.
