NEW PRINCESS THEATRE
TO OPEN NEXT MONDAY.

The new and handsomely appointed
Princess moving picture Theatre will
open its doors to the public next Mon
day night, September 4th, with Ma
bel Norman in her new pictured story
"Molly O,"-one of the real million
dollar productions. The admission
will be put at Is and 30c and while
the house is commodious it ought to
be taxed TO its fullest capacity.
At that time, Mr.. Drake, the pro-
prietor, hopes to have in operation his
wireless radio equipment and without
additional charge will give high
class musical program, from Louis
vile, one of the biggest radio broad
casting stations in the world. Pro-
grams from other cities viii be given
at different times.
The regular admission will be 10
and % cents, only on special features
when it is felt by the management
that they cannot afford to present
them at that price.
Mr.. Drake is presenting no pictures
that have not been closely censored,
that are clean morally and feels that
all can afford to visit the Princess
with pleasure and profit.

CITY SCHOOL TO OPEN.

The Lexington City School will
open Monday morning, September
18th, at 900 o'clock. The members
of the school board, all patrons and
friends are invited to be present. We
hope that the parents will come to
school with their children that day.
Your presence for the opening always
helps US to start off right for the
year.
Let us urge that every child in Lex
ington that has not completed the
grades be started to school. There
should be absolutely no children,
loafers on the streets this year. May
we not ask that each citizen consider
himself a committee of one to help
see that ths-childreR of our town are
kept in school It is to the interest
of the town that these children not
be allowed to grow up in ignorance.
We should be interested not only in
our own children but in all children.
There are only two times during
the year when beginners may start,
at the opening and at Christmas.
Children under six years (unless they
lack only few days. will not be al
lowed to start.

SAFETY FIRST" WELL
DONE BY HOME TALENT

The three-act comedy Safety
First" put on by the Parent Teachers
Association and directed by Mrs. Lii
lian Davis, was presented Tuesday
night in the auditorium of the City
School building to an audience of fair
proportions.
The story begun with a young
American attempting to prevent a
young man cousin from marrying a
Turkish girl, and the actors entered
into the spirit of those they were i'm
personating in a way that made the
presentation success.
The dramatic personae was made
up Of High School Superintendent j,
o. Brown, Jim Phillips, Joe Davis,
Winford Lancaster, Will Belew, Miss
Elizabeth Beasley, Miss Lucille Scott,
Miss. Mary Threadgill, Mesdames
wv. E. Arnold and Judson Hurt, all
of whome deserve special mention for
the rendition of their parts.
The specialties were the songs 81
Love You with all my Heart" and
"Smilin' Through" by II. d. Barry
and Sunny Tennessee" by little Miss
Martha Ball, and a dance by little
Miss Gladys Foster, the latter of Lit
tie Rock, Ark.
There were fetching chornses by
five young matrons and maids-Mrs
w. L. Darden, Misses Eula Moffitt,

nished by Mrs. Myrtle Joyner and

BIG EXHIBIT OF BIRDS
AT DISTRICT FAIR.

A big exhibit of birds is expected
at the West Tennessee District Fair,
Jackson, September 18th to 10th.
Premiums totaling 81 900 are offered.
All of the leading breeds will be
shown.
Select a Good Rooster of Your
Home Flock At the Fair"
This is a slogan which is to be used
by poultry breeders as the West Ten
nessee District Fair is attempting to
arouse more interest in the improving
of home flocks and raising the stand
ard of poultry and poultry raising. 1t
is their contention that the output of
meat and eggs in this territory could
be doubled in two or three years if
such plan were put into operation.
"A hen ordinarily lays $50 eggs"
says Superintendent A. P. Chalker, in
charge of the poultry show. "A bird
of good breeding will lay $50 eggs in
a year, nearly twice as many as are
laid by scrub hen. The most eco
nomical way of improving a scrub
flock is by putting pure-bred roosters
at the head. If new rosoters were
bought each year, there would be lit
tie scrub blood left in two or three
years"
Poultry exhibitors are planning OH
emphasizing the value of culling the
flock. 1t will be their contention that
not only good rosters be bought to
head the flock but that inferior hens
should be weeded out by selection.
Old hens, fat hens, hens which want
to set frequently and do not care to
lay eggs and hens with weak disposi-
tion, should be sold on the market or.
killed for the table.
Inquiries about the show are COM
ing in at lively rate. At least 1000
entries are expected.

THE AMERICAN CONSTITUTION.
ALISTS.

The American Constitutionalists is
the name of an organization charter
ed in Tennessee ''for the purpose of
bringing together those persons who
favor an application of the principles
of the American Constitution in the
daily affairs of men,"
Whatever else is intended, at least
this much is clear:
We seek to give the largest
possible effect to those princi-
pies of the Constitution which
guarantee life, liberty and prop
erty and the right to worship
God according to the dictates Of
conscience.
We oppose the methods en-
ployed by the Ku Klux Klan. In
fact, we are opposed to any in
visible empire or masked rule that
seeks to terrorize and usurp con-
stitutional authority.
The home Of the new organization
is in Knoxville.
We do not know what that body of
men can accomplish, nor can we see
any immediate necessity for such an
organization.
If it is organized solely for the pur-
pose OF combating the influence of
the Ku Klux Klan, is is superfluous.
That ill-advised organization will fall
of its own weight. II cannct live in
enlightened communities. II thrives
only on ignorance and bigotry.
If it undertakes by education to
bring about a better feeling among
men; finer respect for the rights of
others; and sympathetic understand
ing Of the views of others, which in
the end will result in discouraging
an all too visible tendency toward
racial and religious hatreds, then it is
to be encouraged.
The danger Of organization of this
sort is that in irresponsible hands,
they will add to rather than deminish
the flames of prejudice, something
which every intelligent person would
deplore in this land where Jew and
Gentle, Cotholic and Protestant have
identical constitutional guarantees
Tennessean.

DEATHS In OLD nth DISTRICT.

Mrs. Minnie McPeake, wife of R. j.
McFeake, aged so years last June 2l,
died suddenly last Friday night, Aug
ust 25th, at 1920 o'clock after one
month of illness. She leaves a devot-
ed husband and six children-Henry,
Dee, Deliver, Ressie, John r., and Ma
tilda-all of whom are at home, ex-
cept Dee, who is married and lives
nearby. Mrs. McPeake was a member
of the Bptist church with membership
at Piney Greek church, since she was
eighteen years of age. The funeral
occurred last Saturday afternoon
at Mt. Gilead and the service was con-
Quoted by Rev. Fleetwood Ball, as
sisted by Elders I. c. lowers and d.
M. Neisler. 1t is gratifying to hear
those who lived near Mrs. McPeake
say that in every way she was an ex-
cellent Christian woman, a faithful
wife, an affectionate mother and a
neighbor who never turned deaf ear
to call for her service in sickness or
health. Her death is one of the calam-
iteis of this world which must be borne
and for which there is no consolation
except the belief that she has gone to
a reward infinitely better than the
best this world can give.
Bill Dick" Petty, aged so years, 4
days and 2 months. died August 26th,
at his home in the old 18th district.
He is survived by his second wife,
five of her children and three children
of the first wife. The funeral oc-
CURED near Centre Hill Sunday after
noon, and the service was conducted
by Elder Parish, of the United Bap-
tist church of the Primitive Order, in
which faith the deceased was believ-
er.

well received in Lexington at the

AMONG THE COUNTRY SCHOOLS

Don't forget that Friday, Sepsenl-
ber 9Th is Rally Day and that all
teachers and pupils are expected to
attend. DIR. H. Z. Waters, President of
Union University, will make the an
nual address. He is noted educator
and will have something good for
all. You cannot afford not to hear
him.
Were you numbered among those
who attended the teachers meeting
last Saturday. There were forty-five
present and the discussions were very
good. Don't fail to be with US next
time.
Some of those pupils living inside
the limits of the Town of Lexington
still insist that they should be allowed
to 90 to the High School for the pur-
pose of taking the seventh and eighth
grades. This department was added
to the High School for the benefit of
those living outside of town. This
was done because your school was be-
ing crowded by the country students.
SO those of you who take these
grades must go to the City School
unless you pay tuition in advance.
This will not be permitted then if
these grades become crowded with
students from the country We must
accommodate those students who do
not live in town first and then if there
should not be room for your child he
will be admitted by paying tuition in
advance. Also you must show Prof.
Brown a certificate from the City
School superintendent that you have
passed your subjects and have made
grades sufficient to promote you to
the next grade. If you failed at the
City School you cannot enter the next
grade in the High School.
The school at Sardis will open Mon
day, September 4th, at 8 o'clock, a. m.
The faculty will consist of Prof. Roy
McPeake, Principal; Elmer Duck and
the other assistant to be supplied.
These teachers are experienced and
capable. There is no reason why the
people of Sardis should not have a
good school. All patrons and friends
of the school are requested to be
present for the opening exercises at
the above hour. Show your interest
in the school by being present for the
opening. Prof. ]. 0. Brown and other
speakers will be present.
All persons living outside the city
limits will be allawed TO send their
children to the city school to take
any grade below the sixth. If you
send the child full nine months your
free money will be transferred to the
city. and you will be required to pay
the City School Board tuition fee of
one dollar per month.
Some of the teachers have not ret
turned in their reports for the last
month. You must send this report
before your warrant for the Inst
month Of school will be issued. Also,
you must make record of your month
ly report in the proper place in the
register. This must be done as you
will be required to make your annual
report from these monthly reports At
the end Of the school year. We must
improve our records over those Of Inst
year. Some teachers seem to be sur
prised that the monthly reports of
some teachers are not correct. / mn
