Firstly, there is George Moore— only Georze and nothing more, be- cause he has no middle name—who is known throughout Alabama as “the sweet singer of .~lexander| City,” and who will sing “When| Uncle Joe Plays a Rag on His Old Banjo” during the first part, and will| sing it with considerable neatness and abandon, too. George came here two years ugo from Ocala. Lots of good peop.e come out of Ocala ad the better they are the quicker they come, This will be his first appearance in public. George admits, enough, that he has been mucia sought after—but this will be the first time he has ever been seen in| captivity. Also, he is the only meni- ber of the company who parts his hair and his voice in the middle. Georze can sing out of poth sides of his face at once. The right side sings! soprano and the left sice sines base, simultaneously and tozether--a truly remarkable performance. George sometimes lets his voicef out, but he has never been known to collect rent for it and he doesn't| always get it back. Nevertheless his performance at rehearsal has been all that could be expected from a semi-professional, and George is an- ticipating the receipt of many bou- quets across the footlizhts. These are now being prepared by the local | market gardeners. George is nart proprietor of the Red (ross Pharmacy and can mix, THE LAKELAND HALL OF FAME’ | more fancy drinks to the square inch than any living human being. As to the other Moore— : William Stephen Moore—better known as “Ilappy Bill"—is the pink baby of the minstrel acgregation. For the benefit of those who will| see him only in his black face make- up it may truthfully be said that it's a bloomin® shame that his coral pink| complexiofr must be hidden from the! caze of the envious public, But like Brother George, ‘“Happy” Moore is also an endman. “Happy"” Moore was “born in Vir- oinia” but thought better of it :lndI came to Lakeland last June as part] and parcel of the Williamson-Moore ecompany—specializers in haberdash- ery. ; He is bashful bnt willing and as an endman “tambo’ bids fair to dis- tin2uish himself Surely the FElIks' minstrels will have two good reasens for congratu- lations—DMoore and Moore. | i i MRS STEVENS HEADS NATIONAL 0. 0. €.

The attack lasted two hours. Villa car- ried troops from Chihuahua, where he pretended he intended makinz an attack. The formal surrender took place at five o'clock. The federals were taken by sur- vrise, and offered little resistance. The capture was one of the cleverest straticems during the revolution. Three Americang are reported to have been killed *n the fire which swept Juarez streets. Many win- dows in El1 Paso were broken by bul- lets. (By Associated Press.) Il >ag0, Texas, Nov.
