Tuesday,

Everybody is glad and wants to-
congratulate Judge Charles o.
Prowse on his success in building a
machine that will fly. But who can
be so happy as the inventor HIMSELF
For months and months he has given
his entire attention to the conStruG-
ton of his machine and spent a great
deal of money besides.
The grand climax came Monday
afternoon when De Lloyd Thompson
went out to the aviation field. stud
led the principle on which the BIZ
plane had been constructed and
stepped in and mounted. upward q
few feet and then came back to
terra firma with smile on his face
and an assuring look at Judge
Prowse. After a few words he then
made another ascension to an alti--
tude of about one hundred feet and,
sailing about with the ease ana grace
of bird, making dips, cutting figs
ures. etc, easily returned to earth.
Mr.. Thompson had confidence in

asked to publish in his local paper
whether or not he believes the Bible
teaches the literal doctrine Of "hell
and fire" for the punishment of the
wicked. We are inclined to believe
that some, if not all. of the Hopkins
vile ministers will hand out a red
hot yes" TO the question.
Thus far 1912 has been a strange
year. Three seasons Of zero weather
have never been known before, and
as to rains, nobody remembers any
thing like what we have just endur-
ed-and don't forget the split of the
Republican party at Chicago. if it
just stays split.
s. G Buckner is the champion rad
ish grower of the city. Last Tues
day he brought to this office one that
measured 16 inches in length and two
inches in diameter. but he had some
in his garden even larger than that.
1t was of the 'long red" variety.
and before attaining such huge size
the roots were delicious.
Monday afternoon about $50 the
people of South Main street were
called from their front porches by
the whirr of what they at FIRST
thought was an automobile, but ii
proved to be the motor of Charlie
Prowse's sirship. Yes, there it was,
speeding through the air like a bird
and the dream of the genius was at
last realized. Only few sky gazers
got view Of the machine but every.
body rejoiced that Mr.. Prowse had
at last demonstrated that his ma.
chine could do what he has been
claiming for it and all wish that he
may realize fortune from his in
vention.

GOOD MUSIC
Is Being Furnished by Local
Talent at Picture Show.

One of the chief attractions at the
Princess Theater nowadays is the
excellent instrumental music fur
nished by local talent. Miss Mar
guerite Lawson is the daughter of
Mr.. John W. Lawson, the piano man.
Miss Lawson has been studying in
Nashville for two years and is pos
sessed of rare musical talent. Per-
haps there is not a pianist in the city
who has a more exquisite touch.
Mr.. Toney Fosko, the violinist. is
winning golden opinions. There are
many professionals who do not excel
him. and he and Miss Lawson re-
celve all the latest music published
and spend a great deal Of their time
practicing together the latest must
cal productions. which enables them
to furnish the patrons Of the Prin-
cess with not only the selections
adapted to the pictures thrown on
the canvas but many classic gems as
well. Mr.. w. T. Offender as a drum
mer stands at the head of handlers
Of the sticks, and the trio furnish
daily music that is worth many times
the price of admission to the place
of entertainment.
