Unique Mr Jones of Georgia
Mr Sam Jones of Cartersville Geor
gia ran amuck in our city last Friday
evening shooting at the flock in his
lanquid and quite inimitable way
The subject of Sams somewhat er
ratic philippic was Character and
Characters but he wa3 not under
bond to stick to his text and he prompt
ly forgot it after announcing the same
The Tribune does not want to be
understood as conveying the idea that
Sam Jones did not say many things
worth while He did But by the same
token he would have left a better im
pression had he left unsaid several things
he seemed to have most pleasure in say
ing
But robbed of his idiosyncrasies his
mannerisms and masterful nerve there
isnt enough meatty substance left to
give the discriminating and thoughtful
mind enough to instruct and entertain it
He addressed a fair sized audience a
larger one than would greet him on a
return visit He does not measure up
to reasonable expectations
His appearance here was under
cies of the Epworth League of the Meth
odist church
