AS WEDDING PRESENT

Hollywood, CAL, Nov. Among
the presents given to Jack Pickford,
the famous moving picture star, by
Marilyn Miller, the star of the mu-
steal show sally" at the time of
her marriage at Hollywood, Califor-
mia, few weeks ago was large Sc
lection of Black Swan Records. Miss
Miller first heard these records thru
another member Of the Sally" cast
and was so pleased with them that
she sent several to her fiancee. Mr..
Pickford, who is a brother Of the
famous Mary Pickford, was so
pleased with the records that he
wanted others, and the result was
that Miss Miller surprised him with
a package of Black Swan records on
their wedding day. These were ship
ped direct from the New York fac
tory to Hollywood in a special con-
tainer to assure their perfect de-
livery. After the wedding the records
were place on the machine and the
whole party danced to the strains
of Henderson's Dance Orchestra
and made merry as Ethel Waters
sang "Oh Daddy" "Jazzin Babe
Blues" and THAT Da Da Strain. f"
1t is nov becoming quite a fad
with many stars of the theatrical
profession, who have found some
thing different in these all ColOred
records to have them sent to their
friends in various parts of the coun-
try. Dealers also reports that a
large part of their increased sales
are due to the fact that the white
record buyers are also beginning to
ask for Black Swan Records in
which they find peculiar delight.

Thomas has made application for
a postoffice permit, and is daily ex-
pecting a return on the subject.
There are now six families build
ing homes in the Summit addition.
Many other families will buy or
rent land in the spring.
Thomas is building a fine eight
room home for his family on the
crest of the hill overlooking both
the highway and the town Of Sum-
NIT. 1t will be modern throughout.
Near the site of the home which
he is building Thomas has reserved
"a blocks of land. In this district
building operations will be confined
to those persons desiring to erect,
beautiful, substantial homes.
Wealthy From Oil.
Thomas was among the lucky
land owners in the Mexia oil wells
flowing royalty into his Golfers.
In talking with a representative
of the Times Democrat, Thomas
said: "If is my desire to help my
fellow man. I've plenty of money
and believe there is a big field
open to the Negro with money who
is enthusiastically inclined.
II shall recommend diversified
farming. / shall preach the grow
ing of smaller and better crops. /
shall see the members of my colony
are furnished with the best of seed
and that they are instructed in the
tilling Of the grain or vegetable.
"At all times l shall endeavor to
furnish a market for the product
of the Summit farmer.
"Ten years from now it is my
prediction that motorists will shift
gears when going through Summit.
Instead Of stepping on the gas and
making the town at a mile min
ute, they will heed our city limit
sign and look the cotton and melon
fields over"
