CHRISTMAS GREETING.

The year 1919 will soon be
numbered with past events, and
as this is next to the last issue
for the old year, we desire to re-
turn our sincere thanks to all the
patrons of The News for the
very liberal support they have
given the publication during the
past year; in fact, for all the
years since the paper made its
bow for public favor and patron
age.
No publication in our knowl-
edge has a list of more loyal sup
porters, at home and abroad,
and we would be ungrateful
were we to fail to let our appre-
citation be known.
1t is known that The News
has a large circulation, and we
can state truthfully that the list
is gradually growing. We enter
many more new names than we
lose, and we have several hum
dred on our subscription books
who started with the publication
more than twenty-five years,
ago. subscribers by the hundreds,
whose names have at no time
been off our list. The present
editor of the paper has been 9

LEGATION since it started. He has
endeavored to give the new:
weekly as it happened, his mair
object being to please and to no
offend. Just how accuratel!
that purpose has been put int
practice, the public knows.
During the year 1920 it is on
intention to make some improve
ments in the running machiner,
of the office, and, we also inten,
to use our best efforts to give t
the people of Adair county, an
our friends in adjoining countie
and those who live in othe
States a paper that will relat
the information that they ar
looking for-the news.
A county paper brings bot
sunshine and sorrow. A happ
marriage is related, and the d.
scription of the brides troussea
is eagerly read and commente
upon. Death comes to a HON
and the profoundest sorrow hoy
ers over the household and til
inmates cannot be consoled. BIZ
the happiness and sorrow mus
be told by the home paper. S
it is with all other events, the

One of the most perfectly balanced
bills of the season is on view at Gran
dalrs Metropolitan Theater the first
four days Of this week. The chief
features are Some Bride" starring
Viola Dana. and the supplementary
offering. His Home Sweet Home, :.
with Larry Semon.
Some Bride" is a sprightly study in
celluloid of the manner in which a
viTacious young woman, blessed with
wonderful eyes and no ability what
ever to make them behave, first drove
her husband to the farthest extreme
of jealous desperation and then skill

proves conclusively the possession of
such gift for high comedy.
Her Interpretation of the role of the
young bride Is marked by a wonder

expression.
His Home Sweet Home" is one OF
those uproarious farces in which not
only the star and supporting princi-
pals, but a trained gorilla, a bulldog
and even a school of goldfish CON
tribute to the hilarity.
The bill Is completed by a new issue

Shubert-Carrick-The Carrick
Players I'm .'The Brat,

y stock company that purls along
with such nimble performances as
the Garrick players evoke on first
nights need never fear anything,
perhaps. save undigested prosperity,
and prosperity has only had the er-
rect OF pushing their artistic stand
ard higher instead of lower. which
reverses the practice of Broaway
and OF theatrical folk generally.
The Garrick players breezed through
The Brat" last night Just as IL they
were Greenwich villagers striving to
gain some new art effects In naivete
while preserving sufficient profess
sional sophistication to keep their feet
firmly on the ground. The comedy is
a delightful one, vivacious and bitter
sweet. with a real edge to It and a
budget of well-wrought character
studies. The performance had hardly
proceeded five minutes before 1t be-
came apparent that the players were
not treating it as stencil work, or
falling into the groove Of facile con-
vention. They met the play more
than halfway, flirted with 1t play
fully. and at all times caught its
mercurial quality, its poignant con-
trasts and its quaint, plaintive ap-
peal that makes it half-sister of

1t is footless to point out how
difficult some of these characters in
The Brat" are for the attainments
OF the average stock company, ex-
cept to say that the Garrick PLAYERS
caught the essential spirit of every
one of them. The role of the mid
