Mr.. Hickman is scenic painter OF

get up the new scenery. The Hickman
Comedians is one of the best shows

They opened in Denison to standing
room only and the second and third
evenings played to splendid houses.
AS will be remembered last year when
Mr.. 6essey was with the company,
many said that when Bessey quit the

foundation. A return date has been
booked for some time in January, and
they will no doubt draw a big house
again.

CURIOUS ORIGIN OF

IL is most surprising What a number Of
little things We do without knowing the
reason.
Why, for Instance, do vidous wear causy
Perhaps you may say because they make
them look pretty and interesting. But
the real reason is that when the Romans
we've in England they shaved their heads
as sign Of mourning. OF course, a
woman couldn't let herself be seen aiih a
bald head, so she made herself PRETTY
cap. And nov, through the necessity of
wearing il has passed away, the cap re-

"Tazewell County has never be-

ator Harmon. "Sales Of coal lands
have had the effect Of placing much
cash in the hands Of the farming
element. Lands few years ago
which were selling Tor $3.50 an acre
are now worth 500. Many homes
are being built. 1t is fact that
