Miss Negri utilized this time to
stage dress rehearsal of the entire
story before her own mirror.
Working from copy of the seen
ario which she obtained from Ouida
Bergere, scenarist Of this George
Fitzmaurice production, the star play
ed each scene for an audience of one
herself. She studied her own ex-
pressions, the mood and tempo of the
scenes and what she calls the "dra-
matte key" Of each sequence of scenes
AS result of this study and re-
hcarsal, Miss Negri stepped on the
set each day fully prepared to go
through the days work with the min
imum amount of rehearsing, Such
rehearsals as George Fitzmaurice
deemed necessary We're largely for the
purpose of determining camera lines
and lighting.

An automobile smash-up occurred
at the Elladale estate Saturday morn

head-on into a Ford car driven by a
tourist Ell route to Florida The oc-
cupants of both cars miraculously es-
capped injury.

HOG AND cow SALE
WAS BIG SUCCESS
TWO CARS WERE LOADED AT
SEABOARD STOCK PENS.
PRICES SATISFACTORY.

The hog and COW sale, which was
sponsored by the local Kiwans club,
was held at the Seaboard Air Line
railway stock pens in Dawson Thurs
day, and proved to be profitable at
fair, the farmers realizing a neat sum
for their stock A total of two cars
were loaded
The hogs, eighty head in all, of
which so were classed as Is, Is as Is,
as IS and the others as "roughs, "
were bought by the Enterprise Sau-
sage Co. of Macon. The price paid
was .0718. The total weight of the
hogs was 1904 pounds, an average
of 1873 pounds per head. Several bid
ders were present, but their offers
were below those Of the Macon firm
A total OF 40 cows were sold to
w. T. Hollis, the representative of an
Atlanta packing house. The price paid
was an average of 0230, although
several of the cows brought as much
as 81 cents per pound.
1t is gratifying to know that the
hogs brought an extra good price. Re
cent sales held in south Georgia only
brought cents for the same grade o.
hogs, and the price of ,07l8 was only
81 points below the Chicago market
Considerable interest was shown II
the sale, farmers from all parts OF the
county being present.

THE THIRD ALARM" AT
THE PALACE TOMORROW
Plenty of Thrills, Heart Beats and
Laughter in This Film.

Conceded by experts to be one OF
the most thrilling scenes ever flung
upon a screen, in which veteran FIRE
horse plunges through a seething
wall of fame with rider on its back,
the wildly dramatic climax in the
great hreman's melodrama, THE
Third Alarm" will enthral hundreds
of local theater gOers at the Palace
theater Wednesday and Thursday OF
this week.
The horse which takes part in this
stirring episode is none other than
Bullet" the oldest horse of the fire
department of the city of Los Angeles
from which he was borrowed especial
" for this production by Mr.. Emory
Johnson, the producer.
Bullet" has been to more than q
thousand fires in his day. He is now
more than twenty years old and has
been retired and pensioned on an ole
farm for almost five years. When he
was required by the script OF The
Third Alarm" to plunge through q
wave of flames with a rider on his
back-in the person of Ralph Lewis
and then haul and tug with rope
about his neck until he pulled huge
safe out of the blazing ruins and lib
Grated a girl and boy from theii
peri1ous position he went right abou
his job-and no questions asked.
AS a result this scene is one of the
most stirring of this unusual produc
ton, which is conceded TO be by al
odds the greatest hreman's picture
ever created. The horse, of course
was uninjured.

! CHURCHES HELD
ARMISTICE SERVICE
PATRIOTIC PROGRAM AND AID
DRESS BY REV. T. M. CHRIS
TIAN SUNDAY NIGHT.

Five years ago Sunday the armis-
tice which brought to a finale the
greatest carnage in the history of man
was ended in the signing of the doc
ument in the Forest Campeigne, in
France.
Dawson was not unmindful of her
'boys" who battled for the preroga-
tives of America and the principles
which made her the reigning nation
of the world, and Sunday evening the
religious forces OF Dawson assembled
in large numbers at the Methodist
church in a union patriotic service. A
committee at the door pinned poppy
on every one At the entrance of the
church, which added a touch of mean
ing to the occasion The Legionnaires
and members of other patriotic or
CARNATIONS sat in a body at the front
in reserved seats. The artistic use OF
American flags, together with beauti-
full flowers, made the decorations es
pecially attractive.
Special music by the splendid talent
of Dawson and Terrell county was al
together in keeping with the spirit OF
the hour, and harmonized beautifully
with the sermon and occasion.
Rev. T. NJ. Christian, pastor of the
local Methodist church, who appear
cd for the first time in Dawson on
an occasion OF this kind, was at his
best, which means that his sermon
was timely forceful and to the
point. The thought underlying his
sermon was that nations and in
dividuals of the world cannot hope to
have world free from war until Je-
hovah is the God Of all. He made a
powerful appeal for the people to
make Him the God of their lives and
for America to make Him her God.
In development OF this idea Mr.. Chris
tan with great force, showed how
Germany, as did Israel in the long ago,
failed in its recent great attempts and
has failed utterly as a nation because
it has substituted evolution for the
simple faith in Christ. A timely warn
ing was given with reference to what
would become of America if we elect
ungodly men to the Offices of the land
and fiji chairs of learning with I'm
godly instructors.
Following was the program an
nounced for the service:
Organ prelude; hymn, God OF Our
| Fathers ChOruS, ~ l~dllu Vi MHie,
Mendelssohn- Wilson, by choir; pray
er; anthem, Savior When Night In
wolves the Sky" Shelley, by Misses

MARGARET TWEEDY CLASS
HAD ENJOYABLE MEETING
Oyster Supper at Dawson Cafe Re-
cent Night Was Great Success.

In the last issue of The News
appeared an account of the oyster
supper for the Margaret Tweedy
Sunday school class. In the article the
place of entertainment was given as
Cobb's cafe. This was in error, and
The News takes pleasure in making
the correction.
The Margaret Tweedy class was en-
tertained at the Dawson cafe on Fri
day evening Nov. End. The follow
ing ladies were hostesses of the occa-
sion: Mesdames James Baltas, w. l..
Hill. Ed Daniel, A. f. Joiner and
Miss Susie Horsley.
The large dining hall was beautiful
w decorated in Halloween colors.
Festoons of orange and black ribbons
reached from the chandeliers to the
end of the tables, which were elabo-
rately decorated with yellow chrysan-
themums, huge pumpkins and JACKIE
lanterns. The place cards, doilies, black
cats and witches peeping from every
convenient place added to the charm
of the evening. Those who entered
the room became possessed at once
with joyous feeling that much fun
was i'll store Tor all.
After a short business session de
lightful oysters in various styles were
served Music from the victrola added
much to the entertainment OF the eve
ming.
4 pyramid receptacle trimmed in
orange and black held the dainty
wrapped packages contributed by the
members of the class to be auction
ed to the highest bidder. The names
on the packages were only suggestive;
ITO have and to hold" was the label
on one which, after having been bid
in and opened, contained a dainty
handmade handkerchief; another,
stitch in time saves nine" was a
pretty work bag. Expectant and eager
bidders soon exhausted the packages
many being disappointed because
there were not more. A neat sum was
added to the class treasury. A rising
vote of thanks to the proprietors Of
the cafe completed one of the most en-
ioyable class meets ever held.

The meeting at the school house,
Tuesday, was we'll attended, and in
%structive. Mr.. Fletcher outlined the
work his department is carrying on
throughout the county, and while we
do not have all problems here to
contend with, we all went to u
homes feeling the necessity of a
county agent, and glad we did not
need all the assistance this office
gives forth in the various communi-
ties. If we have an idea that this is
mainly a squirrel fighting organiza-
ton we have only to attend one of
these meetings to learn that this is
a mistake. Squirrels are, or have
been our greatest problem to fight,
while in other parts of the county
it may be something else. Steps were
taken to try to hasten a petition
through to get a veterarian in here to
test cows for tuberculosis. An in
stance was cited in another locality
where an entire family contracted
this disease from a COW which was
infected. This was a dear experience
and it would be we'll for any com
munity to know hat this was not be-
ing lone at home. All projects were
continued with the same leaders. A.
U. BurCn was elected
chairman to succeed G. v. Bailey. A

and Mrs. J. B. Cole elected as project
leader. Provisions have been made
