The Standard Theatre happens
to be situated in Il part of the
town in which "The Birth Of a
Nation" has never yet been seen.
It seems incredible that there
should be such n part of New

never been seer here. So for the
Easter week there will be two
performances every day of d. F.
Grifith's masterpiece.
Marie Doro is the big eyed star
Of 1.-THE Heart Of Norah Flynn"

the Strand Theatre. The play

SITE IN HOLLY

Holly Lodge No. IA, I.O.O.F.,
has determined to get in on the
ground floor of Holly realty be-
fore the big raise. and short
time ago purchased an option on
the Coats property, now occupied
by the blacksmith shop of Hewes
& Bragg. The intention of the
Odd Fellows is to build suitable
home for it's members, where
they can hold meetings and not
be dependent on other halls.
While the finance committee
has been empowered to make the
initial payment on the property,
the actual date of construction
has not been determined.
The consideration is said to be
a modest one. but it shows to a
nicely the confidence that the Odd
Fellows have in Holly realty,
whichis now on the upward trend.

ger, says Jury In Judge
Htllver's Court.
Last Saturday was what is call
ed a red letter" day at Lamar,
and it seemed as though the Nc
Lean case was the stellar attrac-
ton, for wherever one went the
conversation was all about the
same subject, and numerous were
the arguments pro and con in
this now celebrated case.
Both Druggist Mclean and
Edward Kinney were charged
with unlawfully selling intoxicat-
ing beverages, viz: Jamaica GIN
ger, and q jury of well-known
and highly respected citizens was
impaneled to sit in judgment on
Messrs. Mclean and Kinney.
After all the facts had been
brought out, the attorneys rest
ed. each feeling confident of
victory.
Judge Hillyer's instructions to
the jury were strictly to the
point, and after a slight recess
they brought in a verdict of
Guilty" for both defendants.
The personnel of the jury was:
Carl Thompson, ]. w. Cooper, C.
o. Boyle. Ben Golladay. c. D.
Thompson, r Bowser, John Par
sons. Fred Cores, E F. johnson.
Chas. Ludlow, Joe Musick and ].
E. Moury.
It is needless to say there was
not q person in the well-filled
court room more surprised at the
verdict than the debonair drug
kist, who was confident of ac-
quittal from the outset, and from
the tenor of his remarks it is
quite probable that the case will
be appealed.
