Turner in the Gulf City The Register in. commenting upon the affair, mentions that even nature was Tn sympathy with her idea, as the day was perfect in it's spring like balminess and the little birds out of doors seemed as f conscious of the beautiful music in Mrs. Turner's home, and expended themselves also in song. The home lent itself ideally to the tone of the party-purpIe anc gold Mrs Turner introducing some new flow CTS to develop the carnival motif, for in stead of jonquils and violets she blended purple primroses. yellow narcissi, pink lsntanra and yellow roses in such grace fui effects that the guests were made to feel that they were in the presence Of royalty.
 In the parlor, where the vases of.Yellow narcissi shed gold radiance and mingled their blooms with the potted purple pfim- roses and smilax q banking for the mantel, the hostess and her two honor- ees welcomed the guests. The entertain ment was then ushered in with music, and under the spell of the beautiful voices Of Mrs. Tebhetts.

shows which afterward resolved them selves for time into the dime museum form of entertainment. From these have evolved the present form of vaudeville. which has attracted the best actors and actresses in the entire world in it's realms and has provided a form of amusement which the entire world likes"
 Which brings me to ask just what ef- feet the movies have had on vaudeville? % I observed
 Instead of being a menace to the yau- deville world, l believe the movies have done a great deal for it." Mr. Hobltzelle said 'In the first place, they have at tracted class of people who never be- fore frequented the theatre. People are bound to have some sort of amusement, and they should have it, for all work and no play makes Jack dull boy. as we all know and the moving picture show has created an interest in the minds of people toward theatricals that nothing before has ever done It has made them anxious to see good plays and players, and having once seen an actor or actress on the film, when that person appears ir real flesh and blood, on the legitimate stage, it is only natural that they would be curious to see them and know some thing about them. l believe instead of destroying anything in regard to the the atres, the movies have helped them"
 '"To the successful theatrical manager the man who owns the playhouses and operates them--what assets especially are most necessary" l asked.
 NO one man possesses all the compo ntnt parts that go to make up the sue cessiul theatrical man, any more than any other successful business man pos- sessea them,' Mr. Hoblitzelle replied. "Of course, energy, patience ability and all those things contribute to success, but the main thing is for man to realize his own deficiencies and supply them by sur rounding himself with men who possess the qualities he lacks. Being a good or ganizer is fundamentally the greatest as- set any business man can possess"
 Perhaps you may be interested to know MT. Hoblitzelle said in conclusion, that a woman is at the head of our book ing department of the Interstate Amuse- ment company. Celia Bloom is her name, a tremendous success of her work. She Is

Monday week the Adair circuit court
will open. The first circuit court in
the year usually brings large crowd
of people to Columbia and in this in
stance we look for no change in the
long practiced custom. There are
hundreds of people in the county who
are owing this office, and we want to
impress upon each one, who Will be in
town on that day, to call and make
payment. We are paying out money
all the time and it is necessary that
we collect every dollar that is justly
due the office. We believe our friends
want to pay, their negligence being
more of an oversight than DISPOSE
ton not to meet their obligations.
We are in Macedonia, friends, come
over and help US.

Try the Home Paper.

We believe in home people purchas-
ing every thing they can from home
merchants, and we believe that goods
can be sold on the home market, bet
ter goods, just as cheap as they can
be purchased from mail order houses.
But there is reason for foreign deal
ers getting so much trade. They let
the people know what they have in
stock, give prices, ETC., keeping their
advertising matter constantly before
the people. There is disposition of
the purchaser to go where he thinks
he will get the best bargain, hence ne
reads alluring prices in catalogues,
and the home merchant becomes the
loser. Let the home merchants pat
ronize the county paper regularly dur
ing the year 1915, and they will learn
at the end of the year that the money
they pnt in advertising was probably
spent. Try it.

PROMINENT CITIZEN
Meets DEATH.
Mr.. Frank Sinclair, Who Was Known
to Every Body iE the County,
Dies at His Late Residence
This City.
FUNERAL SERVICE METHODIST CHURCH.

The death of Mr.. Frank Sinclair,
which occurred at his late residence,
in this city, last Sunday afternoon at
Ills o'clock, was not surprise, but it
was regretted by the entire communi-
ty, the deceased, with the exception
of few months, having been a prom
inent and successful merchant of Co.
lumbia for quarter of century.
The deceased was born and reared
between Vester and Egypt, this coun-
ty, becoming citizen of Columbia
about twenty eight years ago. When
he came to this place he had but lit
tie capital, a few hundred dollars.
He started what was termed Rack
ct Store in the building now occu-
pied by Flowers & Walker, ard the
business was success, and later he
opened a general dry goods store, COM
manding large trade until about a
year before his death, at that time
selling his stock of goods to Gill g.
Waggener, and when the end came his
effects showed considerable estate,
twenty five or thirty thousand dollars.
and out of debt.
MIR. Sinclair was quiet, unassum-
ing man, but at the same time he was
enterprising, giving literally to
Church and for school purposes.
When quite young man he made a
profession af his faith in Christ, unit
ed with the Methodist Church, and
was consistent until the summons
came. For quite number of years
he was a Deacon in the Church and
was also trustee of the Graded
School.
In all walks of life he was honest in
his daily affairs, and his death brought
great sorrow not only to his family,
but to the entire community.
Soon after he reached his majority
he became a Master Mason, and he
was also Royal Arch Mason.
The funeral services were held at
the Methodist church Monday after
noon, The religious services being con-
Quoted by Rev. j. S. Chandler, assist

conclusion of the church services, the
remains were turned over to the Ma

etery they were buried with the usual
formalitieS of the order.
The deceased is survived by his
wife, three children. two brothers and
three sisters and one half brother.
May God in his infinite wisdom com
fort them in their great sorrow is the
sincere wish of this entire communi-
