REX THEATRE
BIG SUCCESS
Prosperous Year Has Given It
Firm Place In Public ES-
timation.

A few days ago the Rex Theatre
celebrated the first anniversary Of
the opening of the theatre, closing a
year of success in every way. The
Rex has during the year made for
itself a permanent place in the hearts
of the amusement going public and
has from the very start put none but
the most meritorious pictures on its
canvass.
The house was opened on a t
Thursday a year ago with crowds
that taxed its capacity many times
during the day. During the year
that has passed, the company has
had many capacity houses W tn pro-
grams that proved to be of the keen
est interest. The public has learned
to know the actors themselves and
such favorites as King Baggott.
Florence Lawrence and others are
IdInlilar 10 every one.
The special features presented by
The Rex from time to time are the
rarest of treats. Manager Shrode
has spared no pains to secure the
best and has recently arranged to
get a quicker service, that is the
pictures are a week earlier in reach
ing Hopkinsville.
The Rex is preparing to open a
theatre in Springfield, Tenn, with
Robert Waller in charge, who has
been assisting Mr.. Shrode here for
the past year and has helped to make
The Rex the success it is today.
The daily programs are always at
tractive and interesting. Watch for
them.

ed for enactment. Willard Salisbury,

quires that the election officers shall count

A MESSAGE TO WOMEN
Who are dust Ready to prop. .

Who are "Just Ready to Drop"
When you are "just ready to drop," ,"
when you feel so weak that you can
hardly drag yourself abOut-and be-
cause you have not slept well, you
get up as tired-Out next morning as
when you went to bed, then you need
help right away.
Miss Lea Dumas writes from Ma
lone, N. Y, saying: 81 was in a badly
rundown condition for several weeks,
but two bottles of VinOl put me on
my feet again and made me strong
and well. Vinol has done me more
good than all the other medicine 1
ever took"
If the careworn. haggard men and
women, the pale, sickly children and
feeble old folks around here would
follow Miss Dumas example, they,
too, would soon be able to say that
Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron
remedy, had built them up and made
them strong.
It is a wonderfully Strengthening
and invigorating body-builder, and we
sell it under an ironclad guarantee
of satisfaction. You get your money
back if Vinol does not help you.

NOTICE TO PROWERS COUNTY.
Baca county leaves thousands
of dollars in your town of Lamar,
and as matter of Justice you
should see that the roads are
passable, even in the Baca coun-
ty part of it.
Instance the north bank o.
Bear creek, dangerous cave-ip
opposite Smarts, while the Prov
eI s part of the road can only be
described by cuSS words.
Lamar should call the atten

the matter, or should raise the
money and repair the roads on
tlieir own responsibility.
