night Of next week, probably Wed.
nesday night A local girl, Miss
Mary Stewart, who was popular
as a player while in the FairvieN
High School is a member OF the
cast, and her appearance here
alone in the play will be quite a
drawing card. Prof. E. E. Hale,
who is In charge OF the play, an
nounced today that the rehearsals
had shown the play to be one o.
unusual cleverness, and the parts
had been SO arranged that no char.
acter played minor part but each
player had full opportunity TO dis.
play his wares. A large advance

Sedan Bumps Ford.
Quite a little interest was mani
tested by local people In the pre-
sentaton Of bill to district super.
intendent, C. C. Tustln, last eve.
ming by one DeBerry Of Fairmont
for injuries sustained by his car
as a result Of humping into a Ford
driven by Tustin on "Crematory
Hill" last Sunday afternoon. From
the arguments rendered by both
parties concerned, It would seem
that the Ford, having passed the
Sedan on a steep corner OF the
bill, was unable TO keep up the pace
Bet in the passing. and the heavier
car gave the lighter one quite a
Jolt. The popularity Of the affair.
however, Is that the Ford was un.
hurt save for dent in the back
OF the flivver. On the other hand,
the Sedan had one bumper bent
backwards, fender bent down and
later the rear end stripped. De.
Berry presented a bill OF s26. re-
marking: Had the Ford not been
on the hill the bump would not
have occurred"
