gestion is so excellent that it viii bear
repetition:

Evangelist Will Preach To-
morrow Morning and
Night.

The sermon preached by DR.. Belk at
the Westminster Presbyterian church

made most careful study of the
doctrines of the church.
This afternoon at 3 o'clock, a spe-

see that the little ones are there on
time.
The officers and pastor Of the

FINE ATTRACTION
Was Snow White at Rex Thea
tire Last Wednesday.

The Rex has, during its first five
months of business, put before the
people number of special attrac-
tons that drew capacity houses It
may be said that when it presented
Snow White" Wednesday after
noon and night it touched the key
note Of success financially as we'll as
for pleasing the multitude. Miss
Elsie Albert in the title roll was sim
ply perfection and all that was mis-
sing was the sound of her voice to
make it perfect piece of work. The
wicked Queen, whose ambition was
to be the prettiest woman in the
realm, was grand piece of acting
in most difficult role. Though the
audience had no sympathy for her
yet they could not help but admire
her as an actress. Altogether the
play as to scenery. setting of stage
and support was about as good as
was ever put on here by the movies.
Manager Will Grau is we'll keep
ing up his promise made at the OPEN
ing of the Rex last fall, to give the
people the very latest and best NOV
les. 1t is probable that his next
special attraction will be The Grim
son Cross" 9-part Eclair, which is
a drawer, wherever it goes.

TOBACCO MARKET
Receipts Continue Heavy and
Demand Still Strong.

The local tobacco market this week
underwent no change either in re-
ceipts, demand or prices, un 5 s
there was a slight drop in prices. A
tobacconist stated during the week
that the buyers thought they paid
too much and the sellers complain
that they are not getting enough.
which goes.to show that it is impos-
sible for either side to be perfectly
contented, especially when it comes
to selling and buying tobacco.
During the entire week the deliv-
cries to the Reggie, Imperial and
other large warehouses have been
coming in from half dozen sur
rounding counties, some of them 40
or more miles away. Many of our
own farmers, now that they are
through with preparations beginning
another years crop. have resumed
delivering the old crop. The loose
floors are having all they can do in
taking care of the weed as it comes
in and putting it on the market.

AT LExINGToN-The market was
easy, especially under the Sl2 class.
Receipts we're light. Prices ran from
50 q 500.

$1,4O6.5O WORTH
OF Sheep Killed In This County
Last Year.

Some people are very fond Of dogs
and think they ought to be permit
ed to run at large at will and at all
times. A good dog is worth some
thing and ought to be protected.
People who are in Mr.. Dogs neigh
borhood ought to be protected, too.
Sheep-killing dogs ought to be exter-
minated and a premium should be
pat on their heads dead.
In 1912 ITO people Of this county
lost sheep by dogs. The total value
Of the sheep killed was 81 .406.50.
That amount Of money is now in the
hands of County Clerk Stowe. He
received a warrant from the Audi
tor of State a day or two since and
persons entitled to reimbursement
for their losses are asked to call on
Mr.. Stowe and get check for their
money.
The claims allowed run from so
cents up to S20l. Thos. NJ. Barker
was the heaviest loser. Next comes
George Boddie with a loss Of $500.
