There was very thrilling show give
in the Town Hall last Tuesday ev'g
which is yet the talk OF the town, and
they as witnessed II says they never be-

money and never expect to again.
On Tuesday morning a teller arrived
in town from the Co. seat with some
boxes and other apparatus and amour
ced that If he could secure the Town
Hall he would give that evg a produc-
shion entitled Moving Pictures" He
hunted up the selectmen and after some
haggling, got the use OF the hall for one
ev'g for $3.50 after which he stuck up
posters in the P O., Hen Weathersby's
store, Bill Hepburn's blacksmith shop,

spicuous places, stating that the show

that il was one Of the most wonderful
producshions Of its kind which had ever
been throwed on a screen. Admission

cents for children under y years and
infants in arms free.
News that the show was TO be held
spread like wildire all over Bingvivle,
as well as into the country districts. and
by ! p m. the hall was filed 10 over
flowing by young and old, male and
female, babies. Children and a few dogs
This is the first moving picture show
which has ever been held in Bingville
and TO say that It was 4 big success,
would be putting 1t mild.
The first thing on the program was a
thief who was trying to excape his pur-
uers. When the chase first started
there was only two policemen after him
but bye and bye others joined IN the
pursuit until there must of been fifty
people at his heels with him running
like Sam Hill trying 70 get away. Il
was all so real that once when he come
running down long road right toward
the audience Seth Dewberry, Our lion
hearted town constable, who was setting
on d front seat, jumped to his feet and
hollered out, Hey mister, you might as
well stop, being as you are under ar
rest" Bige Barker, who was setting be-
side Seth told him to set down and not
make a blame fool outen himself.
In another picture there was a auto
mobile which you could see coming as
fast as it could go, when it was nearly
a mile away and it was coming right at
the audience too, When it was only
few rods away, the teller who was
working the machine, give couple of
blasts on the automobile horn he had and
Deacon Andrews, who was nearly run
over by an automobile passing through
our midst last summer, when he heard
that, grabbed his hat and jumped up
and ran outen the hall and never stopped
going until he got home. The Deacon
said Wednesday morning that he consid-
cred his excape from instant death was
almost mirakulus
There was also a FIRE of big build
ing burning which was so true to life
that Jason Tucker, chief Of the Bing-
vile Fire Department could hardly keep
from ordering out the Bucket Brigade
10 extinguish the flames.
At the end of the performance the
Teller who conducted the show thanked
the audience one and all for It's kind
attenshion and stated that IL anyone
present felt that they hadn't received
the worth of their money he would re-
