For the last 10 years Vernon has

that he was chosen from a large group

He later played in stock companies ut
Butte and is well known throughout
the west.
The entire company, which includes
% members. is preparing to stage a
Christmas celebration, Of which Jiggs
and Maggie will be the center, for they
are in spirit the father and mother of
the cast. The entire group is like a
big, happy family, according to Mr..
Carpenter, who said his life was more
peaceful than that of the average theat-
rical manager in view of the fact that
all his players are on terms of real
friendship with each other. He will
entertain them at Christmas dinner on
Sunday and a big Christmas tree with
gifts for all will be a part of their

On Monday afternoon the company
will open a W. day engagement at the
Grand theater with a matinee and eve

appearance will be made on Tuesday

FOR SHOW HERE

When Off Stage; Ranchers
of Sunny South.

There goes Jiggs." This remark,
which was heard by Walter Vernon
within half an hour after he arrived IN
Great Falls typifies how truly he and
George McManus' famous character
have become one. Portraying the role
of Father in the comedy, Bringing
Up Father" which will be presented
here next Monday and Tuesday nights
by e. ]. Carpenter, Mr.. Vernon has SO
completely absorbed the humor I'M
general character of Jiggs that he Is
his living portrayal. He did not say
whether his ancestors were from tine
land of the shamrock; nor did he ex-
press a fondness for corned beef and
cabbage, but one has a feeling that ne
would make these admissions on being
questioned.
Enjoy Domestic Life.
Maggie, who appears on the stage as
Miss Louise Earl, really plays opposite
Vernon in real life. Both admit that
as far as their domestic life is con-
cerned the similarity between that
which they enjoy and that which Jiggs
endures in the play ends when they
take off their makeup. In the summers
and whenever they are not on the road
they reside at Detonia, Fla, where
they have a fruit plantation. Even
there they are known for miles around
as Jiggs and Maggie, but both said

JAMES DAYTON CLAIMED
BY PNEUMONIA YESTERDAY
Passed Away After illness of a Little
Over One Week; Funeral
by Masons.

q James Dayton, aged 81 had he lived
until July 20. this year, died at his
home near Pomona yesterday of pneu
monia after an illness OF about 10
days. He was taken sick Sunday,
February Io, and passed away be-
tween eleven and twelve o'clock. The
remains will be inferred by the men,
bers OF Crossyille Masonic Lodge of
which he had been a member for
many years.
The deceased was born and reared
in this county had been a successful
farmer all his life and was highly
respected by all who knew him. As
man and citizen he stood very high
and was most admired by those who
knew him best. He was a man of
the most staunch integrity, very in
dustrious, of unimpeachable character
and met every obligation promptly
and in the spirit of a true man and
gentleman He leaves a wife, sew
eral children and two brothers.

of whom reside here.
One day before his death the fever
had broken but he was left in such
a feeble condition that grave fears
were entertained for his recovery. He
rested we'll Monday night and hopes
were entertained that he would rally
and recover, but about II o'clock Tues
day forenoon, grew worse and passed
away AT the time Mrs. Dayton
and two children were. suffering from
the influenza. The deepest sympathy
goes out to the bereaved family in
this dark hour.

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION
CALLED OFF SATURDAY
State Convention Will Likely Not
Meet Until After Coming
August Election.

The Republican state committee
met in Nashville Saturday according
to call issued by Chairman J. J.
Gore and after some deliberation
called off the holding of the state
convention in Knoxville as was sched-
uled at the previous meeting of the
committee, except namin gthe day.
1t was finally agreed that the con-
vention woul be held in Knoxville,
when called, if at all.
It seems that Gov. A. A. Taylor
thinks it best not to hold the state
convention until after the August
election, and that is given as the
reason for calling off the convention.
1t was agreed that Gov Taylor and
Chairman Gore should jointly select
the committee to direct the cam
paign of Gov. Taylor for reelection.
The method and time for counties
to act in naming delegates was also
called off by the state committee.
That would seem to indicate that the
calling OF state convention at any
time this year might be much in doubt
No effort will be made to rescind
the call for a mass convention OF the
republicans of this county next Satur
day., but the delegates will be appoint
ed to attend all conventions when
and where called" it is every way
probable. At this time it is not known
when any of the various conventions
will be called or where.

CUBA IS DESCRIBED
AS AMERICAN OASIS
Missionaries Are Planning to Drive
Booze and Gambling Out Of
the Island Republic.

Rev. S. A. Neblett, Southern Metho-
dist missionary to Cuba. recently VS.
tied the United States to attend a
church-wide conference on world pro-
gram and missionary advance called
by the Methodist leaders.
According to DR.. Neblett, the Amer;.
can saloon and the gambling places
frequented by Americans are the
greatest handicaps to the missionary
workers in Cuba.
Hundreds of so-called American
saloons have been established in tla-
vana, which are degrading the natives
as well as the American tourists" "
said DR.. Neblett. Since prohibition
became nationwide in the United
States, Cuba has become the grea,
saloon for America. Hundreds Of
American tourists are to be found in
Havana at all times. just before
Thanksgiving every year the big races
start and continue until Easter. Dur
ing that period gambling and drink
ing are the main sports. The Spoi.'
ing class OF the United States are
there to drink their fill and gamble
away few thousands.
There are sixteen saloons within
two blocks of the mission church II.
Havana, and the natives are easily in
auenced by the example set by Ameri-
can tourists who visit Cuba" accord
ing to DR.. Neblett, who also gave it
as his oDiniOn that within a few wears
this church would be able to carry
prohibition to Cuba. He stated that
a movement had already been started
among the missionaries to make Cuba
dry.
DR.. Neblett reported that the mis-
sionary work of the Methodist Epis-
copal church, South, in the island o:
Cuba, had made wonderful strides
since the Inauguration of the centc-
nary movement three years ago. Prior
to the centenary he said, it was i'm
possible to make any advance. dis
couragemnt was in the air, and the
work was hampered by lack of funds,
but as the centenary objectives be-
come known in Cuba the situation
frightened all along the line and Cuba
led all the foreign fields in its i'm.
mediate grasp of the centenary move
ment and its purpose. "The South
ern Methodist Church in Cuba put on
its centenary drive even before the
church in America, an din one year
paid three times as much money as
was asked of them," he said.

METHODISTS PLAN
FOR WORLD SUNDAY
Make Effort March 26 to Collect Cen.
tenary Pledges as Near to
Full as Possible.

Another significant step in the prog
ress of Southern Methodism is the
appointment of a day to be known
as "World Sunday" throughout its
entire connection. This decision was
reached at the church-wide confer
ence on world program and mission
ary advance recently held i'll Memphis
and came as climax to what is SAID
to be the most notable meeting OF
Methodists ever assembled.
World Sunday" as adopted by the
400 and more MethodistS leaders in
Memphis, proposes to secure for the
church as brilliant a record i'll the
matter of payment of pledges as 1t
has already attained in subscribing to
the centenary movement which has
claimed the attention Of that denomi-
naion for the past three years and
through which something like $4,000
600 was subscribed for missions and
other causes of the church.
In a review of the work OF the
church through centenary channels 1t
was shown that 90 percent OF the en-
tire amount pledged is due, where
as, only 40 percent has been paid, and
that unless church members in ar
rears come up with their payments
before the meeting of the general con
ference in May, the church will be
hindered in carrying on the enlarged
as planned under the GEN.
enary movement.
In order that at least $4,oooooo OF
unpaid centenary pledges be secured
within the next three months, plans
have been made to call back into ac-
ton all of the forces of the church
in an effort to bring the payment OF
pledges up to date.
Sunday, March 26, has been desig-
mated as "World Sunday" when from
every church and charge in the en-
tire connection, payment of overdue
centenary pledges will be the theme;
During the week that follows, local
committees VIII be reorgafi-
lied and all subscribers who are in
arrears will be personally interviewed
and urged to bring their payments up
to date.
The idea of "World Sunday" tor
Southern Methodists, when through
out the bounds of that denomination
a simultaneous effort will be made for
collection of centenary dues, origi-
mated with DR.. Charles c. Selecman,
pa astor of the First Methodist church
Dallas Texas. DR.. Selecman has al
ready demonstrated the practicability
and efficiency of this plan, using
Easter Sunday of last year as World
for the church of which he
is the pastor, with the result that the
offering for that Sunday
amounted to between $1,000 and $4,000
"The real result of the movement"
said DR.. Selecman, could not be esti-
mated in cash. Many who had been
backward in their payments were re-
minded of the sacredness OF the claim
and came forward in few weeks
with their money, while the zeal OF
the church for missions was quickened

new RAILROAD PROSPECTS
GROWING BRIGHTER
c. E. James Expected Here This
Week. Work to Start From
Crossville.

Conditions touching the new rail-
road from Crossville to Chattanooga,
mentioned in these colums last week,
grow brighter, c. f. James is expected
here this week to meet with the Pier
pont-Paxton people looking to start
ing the work at Crossville and dirt to
be broken within three months, d.
Mr.. James now has an electric line
up Signal Mountain to the top of
Waldens Ridge and his surveyor. E.
M. John, has been over the entire
line for a preliminary examination of
the topography of the country and is
much pleased with conditions as n.
finds that a road can be built with
very favorable grades
The plan is to build the line to be
operated as an electric line first, but
it is understood that it will be of
such a substantial nature as will en-
able regular railroad engines and
cars to travel it, and doubtless it will
be utalized as a steam road soon after
being opened.
1t is we'll understood in this section
that the Pierpont Paxton people have
many million feet of excellent timber
that they wish to put on the market.
but cannot do sowith the proper econ
omy unless they have railroad to
haul it direct from their mills, nine
miles southeast of Crossville.
1t is understood that the Central of
Georgia is to lend helping hand to
the movement though Mr.. James and
the Paxton people are expected to be
financially interested in the construc-
ton to a considerable extent. 1t is
understood that certain monied in
terests stand ready to invest quite a
sum in the construction provided the
work is started within three monhs.
Work is to begin at Crossville and be
pushed as rapidly as possible to the
Paxton Company property.
Ultimately it is expected other in
terests, the Illionis Central, will later
become interested in the extension Of
the line from a connection with the
Tennessee Central to Louisville, KY.

WHO is HARVEY DERRICK +?

No doubt this question has been
asked more times than one since his
announcement appeared in the Chron-
icle.
I wish to say for the benefit OF any
whom it may concern, have known
the Derrick family for more than IS
years: | have lived close neighborss
to them for quite a while and had
MANY dealings with them during this
time, an do say very frankly that |
always found them to be Of the very
best type OF neighbors, very generous
and upright in all their dealings.
Mr.. Derrick was poor man and
and the latch string was al io"nd
on the outside. Mr.. Derrick passed
to his reward some three or four
years ago. =,
| have known Harvey Derrick all
his life and if there is a blemish on
him or crook about him have nev-
er heard of it. He is clean from top
to bottom and is gentleman in every
respect, and is well qualified to fill
the office that he now seeks, and it
you are not particularly interested IN
anyone else in the race you would do
we'll to vote for Mr.. Derrick.
He is a poor man and needs the
place and am sure he would appre-
ciate your support as much as any
one on the track, for he is as good
as he looks and is all o. X. and a
plum good'en. Believe me.
