dren of Night" at the opera house
Monday will be when Jones, wealthy
Wall street hero of an auto accident,
meets Sylvia, allied with criminal
society, and is irresistibly attracted
! to her.
AS the newly weds possess immun-
jity, they can take in the show with
! !impunity. That's what DR.. John B.
Settler says, speaking of 'The Mi
crobe of Love" for Friday night. We
like to get things in a nutshell. New
er was there truer saying than that
brevity is the soul of wit. likewise as
variety is the spice of life. This col
umn is run by the power of conden-
sation, asserting news items between
the opinions of the reporter. Some
reporters are privileged characters. J"
! We asked the "swatterer" of those
1888 swatted flies how he managed
! to keep count Of so many. Said that
was nothing. He knew of a former
citizen of the county who counted ev-
cry blackberry he picked and knew
Just how many were in each basket
after having picked several buckets
full.
When one mans opinion is shared
by another man, it is none the less
the original opinion of the first man.
Many men are often of the same opln-
ion. This reporter agrees with the
opinion of the Observer reporter in
his "news" item statement anent the
curb market, that it, the said market,
can be made "a very convenient ar
rangement for housekepers and far
mers who have products for sale, if
they will avail themselves of it"
You may think some people don't
read the papers-they make out they
don't on certain occasions-but just
let something with which they dis
agree appear and you will find out to
the contrary.
The fire Tuesday morning, 1850
o'clock by the frehouse timepiece,
was in Graveltown at the home OF
Norma Simkins, catching from the
! chimney and doing only slight dam
age in the burning of some shingles
on the roof. The company got there
all right and finished up the work of
the bucket brigade.
The rumor of blacKberries being
food for boil weevils has spread all
over the state and many people have
quit buying the berries. There is al
ways something awful the matter, but
the world war didn't have anything
to do with this latest disaster.
Next Monday will be the time to
look for the comets tail, and crowds
! of people will be looking up among
the stars of night along that time.
"The Microbe of Love" will be
shown at matinee Friday, as we'll as
at night.
The late Surry D. Shockley, who
died on the 18th instant at Colorado
Springs, will be buried in Elmwood
cemetery, Columbia, on Friday morn
ing. The funeral service will be held
at the home of Mr.. Jefford in that
city.
A call meeting of the Dickert-
Schumpert chapter, Children of the
Confederacy, will be held Friday af-
ternoon at 6 o'clock at the home of
Mrs. J. H. Summer. The president,
Miss Abby Gaillard, urges all men,
bers to be present as it will be an i'm
portant meeting.
An accident which came near being
serious befell little Miss Odalite Wal
| lace an afternoon or two ago. She
lhad fall down the steps leading to
the basement of Mr.. Jno. 3. Mayes'
| bookstore and was so severely stun
ned as to remain in a dazed condition
for several hours. She recovered and
| is all right, with no bones broken or
other bad effects of the severe shake
up. we are glad to say.
That quiet resident of east Har-
rington street who up till now held
the. belt as the champion fly swatrer
of the county has had his champion
ship disputed. He tells US that Mr..
j. Simps Dominick of Chappells swat
ted whole pint of flies in one day.
