Credit to Town.

Photographer d. F. Morgan in the
past few weeks has installed a ma
chine that is a credit to Rocking
ham. In fact, this new machine has
only been perfected in the past two
years and this one bought by Mr..
Morgan was the second bought in
this state. 1t is called the Eastman
Projection Printer, and with it the
photographer can enlarge prints
from 1 12 up to 5 diameters from
SKI and smaller negatives, with a
maximum capacity of 30X40 inches!
In other words, he can now take a
postcard negative and enlarge it to
almost any size desired.

California Crested Quail
L. P. r.

An opportunity is now given for
the raising of a new species OF
quail in Richmond county if folks
will help instead OF hinder.
On Friday OF last week Mr.. E. B.
Lilies received by express from his
brother, Billy, at Clifton, Arizona,
a box containing Is live California
quail. He at once carried these to
the club house on Henry Walls
farm, in Wolf Pitt township, where
they were turned loose. 1t is hoped
these beautiful birds will increase
and get a fair start, and eventually
furnish fine sport. 1t all depends
upon their not being molested. So if
you see one of these birds, for good
ness sake let it alone.
This bird is described in the die
timary as the California quail or
Lophorty Californicus. It can be
quickly separated from our native
partridge by means of an erectile
black crest. This crest is about an
inch long and stands straight up
from the top of the head-a sort OF
plume. The top of the bird is a kind
of slate color, the throat black Dor
dered by white, the breast blush
and the lower part and fianks mark
ed with white, black and chestnut
streaks. This lower part and the
fianks are almost identical with oul
own partridge. As stated, the chic
difference is the crest over the heat
and the back being a slate color
This bird and our partridge arr
practically the same size.

Second Snow.

The second real snow of the win
ter fell Monday evening. 1t began
about l6:15 o'clock and continued
steadily until after eight o'clock. 1t
stuck well, to the depth of nearly
two inches, but fortunately the
clouds rifted, the moon shone forth
and the threat of a deep snow was
removed. Tuesday was spring-like,
and by noon practically every trace
of the snow was gone.
To be exact, the depth measured
one and three-fourth inches; this
represented a precipitation of one,
fourth of an inch (snow is supposed
to average ten inches depth to one
inch precipitation.)

pity, nobody wants to lend the
poor farmer enough ready cash

The picture is most satisfying g from a spectators standpoint for Will liam Farnum dominates the picture, his personality ever being in strong 1 evidence He has been favored with admirable support in Jackie Saun- ders.

LYRIC.

Beginning with the matinee this afternoon to be repeated twice every day during the balance of the week, the Poi Players will present some thing out of the ordinary in the line of musical comedy. "Black-Eyed Suzanne" a. musical melange of more this week and series of perform ances calculated to cause more than passing notice is expected. In addi- ton to the regulation production the bill promises a collection of high grade specialties, including an Oriental danceuse, Addison Fowler and I oT0nz Tadnara, worlds famous tee dancers, and several extra num- berS presented by some of the Play CTS.
 "B1ack-Eyed Suzanne" is com blnat1on of music, mirth and melody that is worth going to see. The book was written by Alonzo Price, author of Somebody's Sweetheart" and the music was written by Jerry Jarnagin, well known for his classy selections. Like most musical comedies the plot | is conspicuous by it's absence, but there is story which is replete with interest and set to music makes it doubly enjoyable to the average theatregotr. The added specialties
 are the best that could be culled from the vaudeville stage, especially Fow- l Ter and Tamara, the dancing team who will introduce an exhibition ot | Jazz tot dancing and .'the whirl o1 1 whirl," two of the most difficult l dance numbers ever seen here.
