NO CHANGE LOCALLY
in RAILROAD STRIKE

Aside from the shortage of coal
and the annullment of three trains.
there is no change in the local situa-
ton resulting from the strike of the
railrOaod shopmen.
The n. 0. G. N. has enough equip
ment in good order to take care of
the situation, with emergency re-
pairs being promptly made. The To-
cal line is said to be- more fortunate
than many other lines of the South.
All local industries are continuing to
operate at fulh capacity, except the
railroad shops.
The men who are out are anxiousIv
awaiting settlement, as is also the
public.

SEVERAL TRAINS
ANNULLED ON N.O.G.N

Shortage of coal resulted in the
annulment of three trains on the N.
.. G. N. system, which went into eff
feet last Friday: The passenger
train leaving BogaIusa for jackson
at 5:55 a. m. and returning here at
$40, and the passenger train return
ing here from Tylertown at 8 40 pm,
and leaving at GAO p. m. have been
annulled.
The freight service between Boga-
lusa and New Orleans has been placed
on an every-other-day basis instead
of the daily service.
AS result of the annuIment of
these trains there are about thirty
railroad men idle, but it is believed
that when the coal mines resume OBJ
erations, the railroad business will be
brisk.

State Reformatory Forms
Background for New Play

A photoplay which affords the star
2 part far removed from any in
which she has before appeared and
tells an engrossing story of life in
a girls reformatory will be seen at
the Magic City Theater Monday,
July 81, when Elaine Hammerstein' S
latest Selznick Picture, Handouts
or Kisses" will head an attractive
picture program.
Miss Hammerstein in this produc-
ton portrays the part of a young
girl who is unjustly sentenced to a
term in large penal institution.
While there, she is subjected to end
less indignities and cruel punishment
and when her rebellion brings about
searching investigation into condi-
tons in the institution, love creeps
into the story and the action acceler-
ates until at the conclusion of he
play the picture is one of the swiftest
moving dramas in which this popu-
lar star has appeared.
The screen story, while purely fic-
tional, is not unlike many others that
are daily being told in real life with
in the confines of certain large re-
formatories and IN producing Hand
cuffs or Kisses" the director has
woven into the plot much realism.
Thomas Edgelow wrote the story,
which appeared in "Young's Maya

Supporting Miss Hammerstein is a
arge and notable cast with Robert
Ellis at the head.
