The Dell of a Trick.

1t wasn't a Missouri editor, but a
printers devil who was going through
his first experience On making up
forms. The paper was late and the
boy got the galleys mixed. The first
part of the obituary of a prominent
citizen had been dumped in the forms
and the next handful of type come off
a galley describing recent fire. 1t
read something like this: "The pail
bearer lowered the hobby to the grave
and as it was consigned to the grave
there were few if any regrets, for
the old wreck had been an eyesore to
the town for years. Of course there
was individual loss, but that was fully
covered by insurance" The widow
thinks the editor wrote the obituary
that way because the lamented part
ner of her joys and sorrows owed him

and Germany, where the present bat
tie line is drawn. While it portrays
with striking vHidness the terrors and
heroism of war, it is strictly neutral,
taking sides with no faction
The climax is touching love scene,
uniting a man and woman of opposing
nations. The drama is presented in a
manner that not only gives offense to
none, but makes the heart go out in
sympathy to all the battling nations
and yearn for a permanent peace.
Exceptional interest is attached to
the photoplay because of society lead
ers, national and world characters,
who take part in it. Garden and villa
scenes were taken on the grounds and
in the homes of Cnicago's wealthiest
citizens, including Hobart G. Chatfeld-
Taylor, the author; Harold and Cyrus
Mccormick, Orville Babcock, Edward
S. Moore, James Ward Thorne, Scott
Durand and Howard Shaw. The ma
jority of these persons with their wives
and families, as we'll as other society
leaders, appear in the play.
Mr.. Moore, vice president of the
Rock Island railroad, takes the part of
a chauffeur in one scene. He is dressed
in a uniform and drives his own $14,-
900 car. Wallace Rice, author and
playwright, also takes a part in the
play.
Several hundred feet of.the film were
taken in France on the border line Of
Germany, showing the French army in
maneuvres and commanded by Gen.
Joffre, the head of the French army.
THE photoplay is directed by E. H.
Cahert, a West Point man, who has
seen fourteen years of service in the
United States army. Mr.. Carvert also
takes the leading role with Miss Ruth
stonehouse.
The story itself is replete with dra-
matte situations, human interest, de-
tails of love, intrigue and war; and the
settings so gorgeous that it lends it
self peculiarly to Photographic art.
The battle scenes, while spectacular,
are small enough so that detailed ac-
tion is noted
Mr.. Cnatfeld-Taylor, who is thor
oughly familiar with the historic
European battle ground, was present
throughout the entire work of produc-
ing the play, and assisted Mr.. Calvert
in the direction of the play.

On Tuesday We made trip with Su-

ship, where he has two chain gangs at
work on the roads. One, in charge Of
Mr. J. R. Miller, is building, or has
lust completed a road by the old Aull
place out to st. Paul's church, dis
tance Of three miles. This is road
that was needed for the convenience
OF the members of the church who live
on this side, and will be of great con-
venience to the members of the col
ored church, Mr.. Hebron. At our sug-
gestion some twenty or more Of the
members of this church went out and
gave two days work in the building
of the road. AS soon as two little
bridges are built the ROAD will be ready
for use.
The other gang, in charge of Mr..
Tom league, was working out the
roads in and around Bachman Chape4
church, and they are going over them
at the rate of two miles day and
doing good work. Of course the roads
are narrow, but if they are maintained
with the use of the drag there will be
fairly good travelling.
Mr.. Sample is doing lot of good
road work and taking advantage OF
the fine weather. And he has no
choice except to make an effort to
give every community the best road ne
can with the resources at his command
The roads are in fine condition now
and all that is needed is to give IL,

Champion Chicken Litter.

The champion chicken litter in New
berry county is Nathaniel Williams. He
has beer several times before Judge
Player, and he has also some acquaint-
ance with the recorders court on the
profound and scientific subject of
chicken embezzlement On January
lst, when everybody was adopting new
year resolutions, Nathan called himself
into executive session and adopted
unanimously the following resolution:
q will steal no chickens during the
wear 1916 Ammo Domini." Nath showed
his iron will by living up to his reso-
luton for three whole days and ne
would probably have neld out at least
three days longer but for the disas-
trous influence of evil associates. On
the third day after the adoption Of
Mathis resolution an old pal called,
and while the shades of evening gath
cred round his cottage door, Nath lis
tened to the smooth voice of an evil
soul who insisted that he knew where
some nice fat chickens roasted. Natn
fell into evil deeds. The next day he
fell again, but this time he fell into
the strong meshes of the law. Twenty
five dollars or 80 days, said Judge
PLAYER. Nath moved to strike out dol
lars and insert days, which was unan-
imously carried.

Recalls Incidents of the Past.

The death of DR.. S. G.. Welch recalls
to the survivors of the War Between
the Sections many "reminiscences. Mr..
W. G. Peterson, who was a member Of
the Third regiment, recalls that when
he was severely wounded Dr. Welch
came out and stood beside him on the
battlefield while the surgeon OF his
regiment was giving him attention, DR..
Welcn's field hospital being near the
scene and MI. Peterson being from the
same county DR.. Welch of course felt
personal interest in the welfare of
his friend from Newberry.
A few years ago when Mr.. Peterson
and DR.. Welch and Mr.. l. H. Hunt Wis
tied some of the battlefelds Of Nir-
ginia, picture was made of DR.. Welch
and Mr.. Peterson on the same spot and
both occupying the same position they
did 4S years before. On this same trip
they visited the battlefelds around
Salem Church, Chan
cellorsville and the Wilderness.
On one occasion Dr.. Welch gave at
tention to a wounded Union general
(Wadsworth) and dressed his wounds
and cared for him in the hospital.
The Confederate veterans are fast
passing and it won't be many years
before they are all called to the great
