The pavilion is not finished, but a lot of moving pictures were put on Saturday night on the common adjoining the pavilion, and hundreds of people went out to gee chem. It was announced at the clos, of the performance that the pictures would be repeated on Sunday night. Superintend Hall of the Suburban and Street Railway says he has the owner of the moving picture show em- ployed by giving him such a per cent of the receipts of the line between S:aO and 103O the nights that the perform ances are given, but that he had neth-

This announcement of Superintendent Hall has Srnet with great favor from the moral element of the community and will go a long way toward popularizine the performances that he does give on nirhts dunng the week. Selma is a great town for observing the Sabbath in a proper manner.
