The plans of the administration to
buy the Danish West Indies will raise
few protests. The islands are needed
as part of our Panama canal project,
and in addition they ought to be taken
to avoid their acquisition by any for
eign power.

WALLACE REID

For several years well known to motion picture audiences throughout the United States, Wallace Reid is now one of the valuable players with the Lasky Feature Play Company. MT. Reid's playing of the role of Don Jose with Geraldine Farrar in the Lasky production of Carmen" un- questionably will stamp him as one of the best leading men now appearing before the camera. An attractive ap- pearance in the uniform of the Span ish soldier and his acting in the fight scenes of the play will make MT. Reid dear to the hearts of the women who like their heroes on the screen. MT. Reid has just completed for the Las ky Company, acting in the picturiza- tion of the Chorus Lady," by James Forbes, a Paramount picture which will soon appear here.

H. H. HIGGASON SELLS INTER-
 EST IN FIRM TO JOE BOSWELL

One of the business changes to take effect on the first of the year is talk ing over of the firm of Boswell & Higgason by the former member, Joe Boswell, under which name the busi- ness will be conducted, MT. Higgason having sold his entire interest. He is undecided as to what line of business he will take up at present.
 This is one of the leading dry goods firms of the city, having one of the most up-to-date stocks of goods, there being three regular clerks in the store, together with two owners, who have striven to the best of their ability to give their customers the best there was in the dry goods line. Their business dealings have always been of the fairest and we regret to see MT. Higgason quit the business circles of our town.
 MT. Boswell states that he is now in business at the spot-where he and his father were accustomed to drive their wagon and team and hitch, when they came to town to trade, some thirty years ago, and we presume MT. Bos- well, Jr., was quite young man then.

WHY JOHNNIE LEFT THE FARM

Johnnie bought little pig witt,
money he had earned,
He named her Nell and fed her well
and lots of tricks she learned;
But Nell grew to be SOW, had pig
gies quite n few
Then father up and sold them, and
kept the money, too.
Johnnie took a little calf as pay for
hoeing corn,
He loved that calf and the calf loved
him as sure as you are born,
But calfie grew to be COW, as all
calfies do,
Then father up and sold her, and
and kept the money, too.
Now, Johnnie loved his little pets but
father loved the pelf,
So Johnnie left his fathc~'s farm
and struck out for himself.
Said Johnnie's pa one summer day,

Boys don't like life on the farm,
"The City is their sry."
at always will be strange to me-"

he gave bitter laugh,

carried news Of his untimely death.
His funeral and burial here was the
largest ever witnessed in Southwest
Virginia. There were people here from
as far as Columbus and Huntington.
1t is said that several people from
as far as Dickinson, Buchanan, Wise,
Russell and Scott counties, and Il
large number form West Virginia.
The streets of the town were crowd
ed with automobiles and people from
all sections. According to an estimate
made by two florists who were here
one from Columbus and one from
Roanoke, there was $4,000 worth of
flowers sent here by admiring friends,
far and near. All these things taken
together emphasize the esteem which
the public placed upon the character
and worth, and the sorrow felt upon
the passing, of George William Litz.
