Piedmont Circuit Picnic.
(Contributed)

The picnic that was given by
the churches of the Piedmont
Circuit at Everett's Park last
Saturday was a great success in
the estimation of the many who
came and enjoyed the many
treats that it held for them.
The children were amazed at
the amount of lemonade that was
prepared for them and it seemed
that the more there was coming
from the place the first came.
Through the courtesy of Mr.. w.
E. McNair, an organ, grafanola
and many chairs were placed on
the rostrum prepared for the &C.
casion. The choirs of the differ
ent churches rendered some most
beautiful music and it was only
when their voices were tired out
that the picnicers were willing
for them to stop singing.
Just before the noon hour Rev.
H. M. North, the Presiding Elder
of the Rockingham District, made
an address on the July celebration.
Mr.. J. F. Plat, of Roberdel Mill
2, was to make an address on
Church Loyalty" but his feeble
health would not permit him to
attend.
! When it came to the dinner the
table would have been glad to
speak for itself but it was too
heavily loaded with the good
things to eat. The H. c. L. was
forgotten on this day and it re-
minded the onlookers of the days
before the war when sugar was
six cents a pound. At the close
of the day a motion was made
that the picnic be made an annual
event by the Piedmont Circuit
was gloriously carried. All left
with their minds looking forward
to the next July celebration.

New Building Going Up.

Work was begun several days
ago upon a brick building 47xl5(
on Franklin street for Coley &

the building at present used by
Coley & Thomas and which be.

The building will be one.story
and will be used by the firm in
addition to the building they are
now in. The brick used are made
on the spot of cement and sand,
the capacity of the machine be.
ing 5000 a day. They appear to
be good brick too, and their
method of manufacture is one
way of solving the high cost Of

The firm is composed of Hen.

of these stock men to not only
continue doing a retail business,

After the above building is
completed, Messrs. Henry and

ANOTHER STAR BILL
FOR THE DIIMAS THEATRE

Douglas Fairbanks has always been
our fayorite on the screen when II
came to the real red-blooded, two
hrstsd manhood type of acting and
when we saw him yesterday at the
Ditmas theatre in his latest produc-
ton for United Artists, when the
Clouds Roll By" we decided for once
and all that no one will be able to
take his place, for he accomplished
something which was essentially inn
possible in our minds.
Like hundreds or even thousands
of others in this community the writ
er is superstitious, having always be-
lieved all the bad link stuff that came
along the pike. doug In his latest
picture has everything from thirteen,
at a table to cats running V his
path happen to him n is beset with
no end of horrible troubles, yet he
comes through it all with the same
sort of optimism that has always
marked his distinctive personality i'll
his pictures and wins out in the end,
overthrowing every hoax theory that
exer existed.
The theme of the picture is an UNI
usual one. ~cleverly handled and in
(which Doug has many new stunts
to do which one would believe is inn
possible, since he has done nearly ev-
erything under the sun. The produc-
ton is q s~tupendous one with one UNI
usually enormous exterior set. a town,
which Is flooded, something that has
never been accomplished before.
This is the second Independently
produced picture that Doug" has
turned out for the United Artists Cor
poration, and if all his bigger and
better pictures are to be like this.
we too are for independent produc-
tons No one will agree now to the
contrary tha Doug" and his asSo-
ciates, Mary Pickford. Charlie Chap
lin and d. w. Griffith were wrong
when they went into the Independent
field, for their productions since that
time are OF far superior quality than
when they were compelled to make
eight or ten productions instead or
three or four.

twenty years, and never before in her

tailed instructions she had received

the minutes when Elsie had to become

NEW YORK, Feb. 5-"Abraham
Lincoln stands out not only as the
greatest American but as the great
est mar in modern history, in that he

This is the estimation of Lincoln
by John D~rinkwater, English author
of abraham Lincoln" the play
which has succeeded not only in tell
ing England of Lincoln, the man, but
is now telling America of this true
worth as well.
Lincoln brought great dignity to a
great public Office Drinkwater added
more thar any man of modern times
and at the same time kept in personal
contact with those about him. I con-
slider him to be not only the greatest
American, but greater than any MAJ

try has produced in the last few CEN

'Iincoln, unlike some men who
rise to high public office, was great

seeing eye. That he a able to
meet and consider those problems is
hut further tribute to his greatness.
