(By T. MOSES JONES.)

H. B. Hewitt) Hicks, from about
halfway between Oxford and Hen
derson was in our town the other day
He hollered, Hello, Moses t. That
was slightly getting the cart before

over to his house any morning by
eight O'Clock if I wanted a ride to
Henderson, stating that he went to
town bright and early every morn

When I told a certain fellow that
| was now selling the Henderson pa
per- he wanted to know why anyone
in Granville county should take that
paper. So I gently asked him why
should anyone here take the Raleigh
paper, or the Greensboro paper, or
the. Durham paper, Or the Richmond,
Baltimore, or New York paper.
Some people used to take a daily
paper just to read Will Rogers daily
paragraph on the front page. For
months I have taken one certain
daily paper mostly for Bob Burns

For. years I have read 0. O. McIn-

other daily. And if I couldn't get
the funnies and the news both, I had
rather have the comic strips. Some
folks first Urn to the stock market
page and thousands pu nothing ahead
OF the sports page. I imagine that
florists always look for death notices,
and I am sure that monument MAX
ers do the same thing. I suppose
most folks take a daily for what they
get out Of it, so 1 intend to mail my
friend a sample copy and let him
answer his own question.
Miss Mildred Bullock who teaches
at Norlina spent the weekend with

Lee Offers of Route went down
to his brother Richards near. Kit

right down into his foot. Now he
will not be able to work any more
for a month at best.
Burlie Elliott of Route 4, who re-
Gently left his appendix out at Brant-

We surely missed Burlie from town
for the past three weeks. Burlie al
ways works when he pretends to
work but let Saturday afternoon
come, and he and Mrs. Elliott usually
come in to town.
Mr.. Newton from out near Tar
River says to always carry an over
coat, umbrella, and a fan in March,
that you will be sure to need one of
them.
Edward Dorsey says he eats when
he gets hungry, sleeps when he gets
sleepy, and works when he feels the
urge. I think all that would fit most
of the rest Of us, especially myself.
But let me confess that I misquoted
the last clause of his statement.
MIR. and Mrs. Nat Woodlief and
all the little Woodliefs "a car load)
including the new late arrival, little
Miss Nellie Odell, were in town Sat-
urday And all of the children except
ing the baby were making away with
a chocolate ice cream on a stick.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ernest M. Aiken and
children, Ursula, Ernestine, Ben, and
Nora, of Washington, D. c., recently

Mr.. Aiken was born and reared in

She laughed, for the car was

must get out and live.
It was surprising how well two
people could become acquainted

by brook, with a radio finding a
song that an orchestra played 500

conversational backdrop. It was
surprising how many common

They said little as the car swept
through the night. The stars were
gone now, and there were rain

Today and tomorrow mark your last opportunity to see the massive technicolor production "The Ad- ventures of Robin Hood" starring Errol Flynn with Olivia de Haviland, Basil Rathbone and Claude Rains.
 Fridays double decker program is headlined by Warner Bros. fast movng drama Crime School" star ring the six Dead End" kids, Billy Halop. Bobby Jordan, Juntz Hall, Leo Gorcey, Bernard Punsley and Gabriel Dell. These boys prove that the success they won in their first screen appearance was no fluke, for again their acting is so true to life that local move-goers will be so ut terly convinced that they are the poyS they seem to be. Humphrey Bogart is also featured with the boys, and strays from his former villain characterizations to play the first hero role he has ever been given. Also included in the fea- tured cast is Gale Page, former radio songstress, who makes her debut in this film.
 Unsolicited testimonials which hail the picture as one that should be witnessed by every man, woman and child are as follows:

Entertainment of the highest va riety is in the offing for local mo- vie-goers as Daryl Zanuck's spec tacular film Tn Old Chicago" comes to the screen of Warner Brothers cozy, clean and comfortable Strand theater this afternoon for four day engagement.
 AS this absorbing story and thrill ling spectacle of the Chicago holo- caust emerges from the screen, every man, woman and child will | realize that it was well worth the tremendous effort, the cost of mil lions for production and the two years spent in making it.
 The story leading up to the burn ing of the city on the night of Oc- tober 9, 1871, is a heart stirring tale, based on the novel We, The OLeary's." The famous legend that Mrs. OLeary's COW kicked over a lamp in the barn behind the OLeary's cottage, on De Koven street, is used to ignite the spark that sets the city aflame, bringing the picture to it's sensationalism, the scenes of the burning of the city and the accompanying terror, tragedy and flight that will have local movie-goers squirming in their seats with excitement. Incidentally the special effects of the fire scenes were spectacular1y staged by Fred Sersen, Ralph Hammeras and Louis J. Witte.
 Leading personalities and their characterizations include Alice Faye as the glamorous, flashy and mo- torious Belle Fawcett; Tyrone Pow CT as Dion OLeary, the black sheep

POLI'S

Mickey Rooney, Americas most popular boy comedian, again vowed audiences with his comedy portrayal of Maureen O'Sullivan's younger brother in Hold That Kiss" which opened this afternoon to capacity audience at the Loew Poli theater. Starred with Mickey in this film, in addition to Miss O'Sullivan is Holly woods latest romantic rave, young Dennis O'Keefe, who made his screen debut as Wallace Beery's son in 'The Bad Man of Birthstone.
 A love masquerade with this trio, forms 8 constant source of comedy, trials and tribulations.
 Deity directed by Edwin L. Mar in, of Everybody Sing" fame, the story revolves around clerk and shopgirl who mistake each other for social celebrities, and their comical trials and mishaps in trying to keep up their deception.
 Mickey, as the heroine's young brother who between his clarinet playing and threats to expose her secret adds troubles galore to her life until a dinner party in fash ionable apartment borrowed for the occasion clears up the deception and humorous climax clears the path of true love.
 Miss O'Sullivan proves charming in her role; OKeefe is romantically dashing, George Barbier provides comedy as the eccentric millionaire. Jessie Ralph plays an amusing aunt and Fay Holden. Frank Alberston, Phillip Terry, Edyard s. Brophy, Ruth Hussey, Charles Judels and Barnett Parker are adequate princi- pals.
 Sharing honors on the same pro- gram are Merle Oberon and Laur- ence Oliver in Alexander Korda's amusing comedy, "The Divorce of Lady X," which has been filmed entirely in technicolor. Binnie Barnes, popular favorite, recently seen in the First Hundred Years" and "-he Adventures of Marco Po- To-" heads grand supporting cast.
 Tonight at 9 o'clock on the Loew Poli stage, is presented another outstanding bill of headline Broad way vaudeville, headed by the Four Cracker Jacks, straight from a long engagement at the Cotton Club in New York. Other favorites are Pal mer and Peaches, Chappelle and Reed, songbirds of the south, Char lie Banks, master of ceremonies in person, Izzy Rengold, Harlem's Red Hot Mama, Slim and Slam WNEW Swingsters, and the singing and dancing Plantation Swing Five. Gus Meyers, leading the Loew Poli thea ter orchestra furnishes the musical background for this show, which is presented in addition to our regular double feature program, with no ad- vance in prices.
