S. A. Hall last Saturday evening, entitled the "Southern Cinder ella" by the following girls Mayme Wink, Jean Strain, Roxey Downes, Edith Reeder, Frances Lamberson, Ethel Wink, and Mrs. Harry lamberson un der the tutilaee of Miss Mar garet Kirk. The play was well rendered and a credit to the community. Miss Kirn enter tained the audience by reciting several suitable selections. She is a fine elocutonilst and enter tainer. and her efforts were much appreciated and greatly enjoyed by all who heard her, The writer feels justified in the assertion that Fulton County possesses talent that cannot' be excelled; vet through a spirit of jealousy, pride, self righteous ness and autocracy, weare allow- by.ing that talent to hiddenunder a bushel. This play was given in the interest of the Red Cross and netted $31.00. Although the principles in this play met with opposition by a few knockers of whom there is no record of their ever having given one cent or even sympathy to the Red Cross, the play was thoroughly erjiyed bv the rank andflle of our citi zens.

The last week has been momentous period in the present great war. The breathing spell taken by the Germans was folio w- ed by a most terriffic drive and the lines of the allies were fore ea DacK twenty-hve miles in three days. The river Marne was reached, and the Huns were within 45 miles of Paris. Being within 45 miles of Paris, and be ing in Paris, is. distinctively two things American troops have been introduced and during the past three days the Huns have been held in check, and it is believed that the worst is over.

The ports of New York and Boston have been closed, and the city of New York has been ordered to do with as little light at night as they can get along with; for it is possible for the U-boats to become start ing points for German airplanes that would drop bombs on our coast cities. For the first time in the four years of this terrible war, it can be said that it is at our door.
