TENIPIE THEATER

DO YOU recall Thomas Meighan's
superb work in The Miracle Man p"
Do you remember the thrills his
performance Of the role OF the mas
ter crook gave you? Well he has
another crook role in his latest Par
amount photoplay, he City Of Sill
ent Men" which he will snow at
this theater today and tomorrow
with this difference-he is an limo
cent convict.
Mr.. Meighan's Interpretation m
this sterling picture adds another
virile screen portrait 10 his gallery
Of characters. We believe that THE
City Of Silent Men" will be classed
as among the finest pictures Of the
year and that is saying a great deal.
Many of the scenes were filmed in
Sing Sing, the most famous peniten-
tiary in the world. while others were
photographed in the Criminal Courts
building with its celebrated Bridge Of
Signs. and the Tombs itself.
Pretty Lois Wilson is Mr.. Neigh
ans leading woman and she heads
an unusually capable supporting
cast. The picture Is based on John
MoroscO's novel, The Quarry" and
il was directed by Tom Forman.
Can we say any more in its praise?

l A Fashionable Ditty

What has become of the stove-pipe
hat, that fourished in days agone !?
On the Fourth of July, or days like
that, we ginerally had one on. And,
there amt no doubt that it done its
part, as only a stove-pipe can, to
fasten the triumph Of ancient art on
the principal end of man!
And what has became of the long
tailed coat, with its sperit of digni-
tude? Has it went way of the
Granger vote, or gone with the babes
in the wood? Has 1t drifted away,
with it's crinkle and flop, to the val
ley of no-man's-place? Does it mean
that the price at a tailor shop has
established a change of base?
And, what has went with the flowin'
beard, and the reverence which it
helt? There amt no objections that
ever heard, to a dignifed, whiskery
pelt! When the ugliest face in this
fair land, can furnish it's own dis
guise, feller may bow to fashions
demand, but, honestly, is it wise?

Hemingway, Jan. ll.-On Wednes-
day evening of last week Mrs. d. u.
Higgins and Mrs. w. c. Hemingway,
at the home of Mrs. Huggins, very
charningly entertained a number OF
their friends. The affair was a mis-
cellaneous shower in compliment to
Mrs. C. C. Campbell, recent bride.
The parlors were very prettily decor
ated in Southern smilax and Christ
mas bells. The guests were received
by Mrs. w. C. Hemingway, who pre-
sented them to the bride and then to
Miss Dess Gowdy, who presided over
the brides register. "A short program
consisting of a piano solo by Miss
Blondell Cockfeld, a reading by Mrs.
T. W. Edgeworth and a vocal solo by
Miss Annie Wilson was thoroughly en-
joyed. Then came most interesting
little contest in which the prize, a
box of candy, was won by Mrs. B.
J. Guess, who presented it to Mrs.
Campbell, the guest of honor. Just
at this stage little Miss Anna Dell
Haggins came skipping in and usher
ed the bride into the dining room to
view the many and attractive gifts.
Afts- this hot chocolate and pound
cake were served.
The Ladies Missionary Society held
it's meeting on Tuesday afternoon at
the home Of Mrs. v. D. Harper.
Mrs. B. ]. Guess left Saturday for
Greenville to be with her husband,
Rev. B. ]. Guess, who is still in the
hospital, though improving nicely.
The many friends Of Rev. Guess are
wishing for him speedy recovery.
Rev. Julian Brown is very pleasantly
filing his appointments.
Mr.. and Mrs. C. N. Lambert are
visiting the latter's sister, Mrs. R. D.
Garrison near Rome.
On Friday evening at the home of
Miss Carrie Baker, the Epworth
League surprised Mr.. and Mrs. C. c.
Campbell with a miscellaneous show
er. Many and useful gifts were CIV
en- to this newly wed couple who have
50 faithfully rendered their services
to this organization.
DR.. P. S. Thomas left Monday for
Great Falls, where he will be located
In the future. Besides proving him
self to be a very able physician he

A UNIQUE CUSTOM.
State Official Has Prayer Meeting
In His Office.

Says the Columbia Record: "a
prayer meeting for al the officials
and employees of the state department
of agriculture, an annual gathering,
and so far as is known the only such
meeting in the United States, was
held in Columbia Saturday.
otis unique custom instituted by
B. Harris, commissioner Of agricul-
ture, and observed for the four years
he has been in office, to have prayer
meeting on the first Saturday of each
year, attended bf all connected with
the department. It is stated that no
other official of any state in the un-
ion observes such 4 practice.
"Mr. Harris instituted this unique
meeting OF his force four years ago,
and every year since the first Sat-
urday has been marked by this serv-
ice. All the men in the department
office in the Liberty National Bank
building, all the men connected with
the laboratories, and the inspectors,
who at other times Of the year are
scattered over the state, are called
into the office and Mr.. Harris leads
a prayer meeting. A passage of
Scripture is read, prayers are offered
and the commissioner and possibly
others make short talks, stressing
