X Boston author who has always led circumspcct life can encounter q great deal of trouble by the sim pie method of stepping onto a train at the South station. going to New ori, registering at q hotel and fall lnG ln love with his publishers fan cee, if Lewis E. Ely, writer of "SportinS Blood is to be taken scr- louely. But, Of course. Sporting Blood" which played at Parsons thcater. Hartford, last night isn't 10 be taken seriously. It was written and produced for the purpose of en- tcriaininG that segment Of the the ator population which finds amusc- mont in light farce.
 The Boston author Arthur Lalmcd. is the creator Of literature much aft tor the style Of Walter Patcr. His characters live. cat and breath but never indulge in tho rapturcs Of love. The publisher. Philip Lowr. aware Of L.arHcd's mode of lNin2. suggests that he ndulGc in emotional cNpcri- cnCoS-lS that too l'rcudian and gives him some telephone numbers. When the publisher leaves Larncd's hotel room. in steps Olive Niunns q widow.

Larncd takes Lowe at his own word makes Niolcnt-that is violent for IArncd- love 10 the fair widow becomes en- tangled in circumstances that force him, at the bohcct of the house dc tcctiye. 10 register her as his wife and then discovers that he actually is in love with her.
 Walter Connolly appears in tho character of Larncd. which is anoth- CT way of saying that the task is well done. His horror at the thought that his predicament may be pub lished in the Boston Transcript and the Christian Science Monitor is a delightful bit to anyone who knows his Boston.
 Miss Shepley impersonates Mrs. Nimms and employs to good effect an ngenuousness that is a gauZe cloak revealing. rather than conceal ing. her many charms.
 Elaine Temple and Thomas Gillon have juvenile parts which are well done. Miss Temple as the carlY-Nic- torian daughter of the widow and Gillcn as the nephew Of Larncd, each bound 10 prevent their elders from becoming cmcshcd in affairs which would bring rcproaCh on their names. Frank Elliot plays the part of tho publisher without affcctation. In her few moments on the stage, Miss Blondcll orcrplaNs her charaC- ter.

$4,000 Fire Races
Business Structure
In Tchula Sunday

A disastrous fire loss estimated above
$4,000 wiped out an entire business
block in the main business district of
Tchula at an early hour Sunday morn
ing and threatened to destroy other
properties before it was brought under
control. The Tchula fire fighting appa-
ratus was aided by the huge pumper of
the Lexington department, while Yazoo
City truck that arrived later stood by
ready to lend aid if needed.
The fire was discovered in the rear
of the building destroyed that housed
the Tchula Hotel on the upper floors
and the following firms on the lower
part of the structure: Smiths Barber
Shop, Branscombe's Drug Store, Sharpe
Hardware, Jones' Pool Room and Will
liamson's Shoe Shop.
The value of the building and busi-
ness firms was estimated around $75,-
100000 with insurance approxim ately
figured around $35 100000, according to
records of local insurance agencies. The
hotel building was owned by G. A. Will
son, of this city, and was among the
first brick structures of the town. It
was built in 1898.
The Tchula Hotel was operated by
Mrs. c. c. Reed. Few guests were
registered in the hotel but all were
awakened by the proprietor and escaped,
though they lost their personal effects.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rhodes and two children
were in the structure but escaped. They
lost their personal belongings, even to
pay-check just received that after
noon. Mr.. and Mrs. Church of Brook
lyn, N. Y, who stopped by to see the
Rhodes, were also guests of the hotel
and lost their baggage.
When the alarm was first turned in,
local flremen soon realized the serious
menace of the blaze and telephone calls
tor help were made the Lexington fire
department. The truck in charge of
Lloyd Niles was dispatched arriving in
40 minutes and connecting three lines
of those that stopped the flames at Rot
chllds store. Many firms nearby re-
moved part of their stocks but replaced
them after the fire was checked,
The Tchula fire engine was damaged

Two Men Killed
AS Heavy Truck
Leaves Highway

Mack Carmichael, %, of Jackson, was
killed and his companion, Ed Davis, 26,
of Bolton, fatally injured Sunday
afternoon about 1880 o'clock, when a big
Atom gravel truck driven by Carmichael
plunged down deep embankment on
the Lexington 4Durant highway about
A miles east of Durant. Both men were
employees of the Dunn Construction Co.,
paving contractors at work in Durant.
Their truck, travelling at a rapid rate
down a steep grade, knocked down sew
eral guard railings on the edge of the
roadbed and plunged into deep ravine
at this location.
Five men arriving in another car a
few minutes later found the parties
both alive. Carmichael was rushed to
Durant but died in a few minutes. Davis
was brought to Lexington and placed
in the Community hospital where his
injuries were found to include a frae-
tured hip and other painful wounds.
According to Clyde Reynolds, of Du-
rant, who with Ed Cross, Jack Carlisle,
Norman Ingram and John Guess, found
the wreck victims soon after the acci-
dent occurred. Carmichael begged them
to rush him to hospital declaring he
was bleeding to death. He was badly
crushed about the chest and died short
ly afterwards. They were out on a
ride, stated the survivor and the truck
got from under control on the steep
grade.
Davis, who was brought to the local
hospital, died Monday afternoon at 2:30
o'clock Fracture of the pelvic bone and
rupture of the bladder was assigned as
the death causes.
The body was turned over to C. S.
Harrell, local undertaken, who conveyed
the remains to Flora, where burial was
held Wednesday morning.

Lexington Building
Activities Approach
$4,000 for Month

Business activities and accomplish
ments of the city of Lexington, one of
the leading communities of the central
part of north Mississippi, is an out
standing fact, according to survey of
the own.
The Lexington Country Club is build
ing modern club building, swimming
pool and recreational grounds in con-
junction with it's magnificent golf
grounds, that will cost in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000 and offer the finest d-
version of its kind in Holmes county. A
deep we'll to supply ample water for
the pool has been completed at depth
of around $50 feet
The local denomination of the Metho-
dist church has broken ground for the
erection of their Educational building
and preliminary work is now started by
Contractor Ellis, of Clarksdale. This
structure will occupy the lot north of
the present church building and serve
as unit of the church. 1t will contain
every convenience of a building of it's
kind and greatly aid the local religious
body in their social, religious and Sun
day school departments.
The city officials have purchased
S6,500.00 Buffalo fire truck and other
equipment for the department, as we'll
as remodeled a local building for the
establishment of regular fire depart
ment. Telephone and signal system
is now being completed to render quick
response for alarms.
The Lexington Theatre has Just COM
pleted installation of Western Electric
Sound Equipment at cost of $11 100000
and now gives the city one of the finest
play houses in this part of Mississippi.
Lexington now affords talking pictures
and theatrical attractions for the many
outlying communities of this county as
the large crowds nightly testify.
Building of new homes as we'll as re-
modelling of other homes of the city
are noted in all parts of town, and the
continued progressiveness and perma-
net improvements tend to make Lexing-
ton one of the banner cities of this sec
tion of Mississippi.
improvements conservatively estimated
within the past few weeks will reach
over $75,00O.00 in totals, and forms
matter of much civic pride locally.
