TALKING PICTURES. Theatregoers are to be !
treated to something novel in the amusement |
line at the Colonial Theater, Belfast, when the |
I,1,
creating such comment in the larger cities, |
will be shown. Ever since the motion pictures
came into popular favor few years ago the
public have been awaiting this most essential |
feature. Something to convey to the audience
the meaning of every action and movement by /
the characters on the screen, which up to now
has been accomplished only vaguely by pan
been able to obtain the services of Raymond |
Hitchcock, Rose Beger and several Broadway
Stars to pose for these pictures. The only |

A ROAD HEARING. petition has been pre-
sented to the county commissioners signed by |
Charles O. Dickey and 43 others of Northport
asking for changes in the road on the Burd hill |
just beyond Little River bridge, and the COM
missioners have called hearing be held at
II a. M, July 22nd, in Northport, at the place
of the proposed change. If the request of the
petitioners is granted it will necessitate the
building of a new bridge across Little River
above the present bridge. This would call for
a change in the road that would carry it
near tt e Burd barn in Belfast and over land
owned by j. F. Wilson in Northport. An
other plan suggested Is to build the road in
Northport in direct line south of the bridge,
which would bring it nearer the cottage owned
by Mr.. Burd and the residence of George FL
well. 1t is also proposed to have the bridge
raised and widened.
