FAMOUS WAR FILM RETURNING NOW
 TO CAPITOL SHOW
All Quiet on the Western From" and New Mystery
 Hif Opens Tonight

The finest war book in literature practically wrote itself. Erich Maria Remarque, author of All Quiet on the Western Front explained that he had no choice but to write the book. The ideas, the very words forced themselves out of him. There was a message to youth of which he could not but unburden him self This message has been brought 1 to the screen in Universals great production of All Quiet; the pie ture, lauded as the screens out standing achievement, has been re- issued and is now showing at the Capitol Theatre.
 Something inside Remarque fore ed him to tell the truth of his experience in war At the age of eighteen he was swept from the quiet schoolroom on a wave of pa- triotism and carried into the front line trenches. His suffering began. Disillusionment followed disillusion- ment. Horror followed horror, while his inquiring mind sought to grasp the meaning of the living nightmare into which he was plunged. War was hell, he dis covered, not glory. And he knew that the sufferings of the soldiers were feeble, futile gesture anc nothing more.
 With an ideal cast enacting one of the years greatest mystery stor- ies against the exciting background of Hollywood night life, Hollywood Stadium Mystery" is also showing at the Capitol

The yard that has been made on

further beautified by the placing
in it of a large and handsome foun-

time it will addorn. There are
two other fountains on the same

Mr.. Bailey on the lower end-and
this being in the business part of
the town will be enjoyed by a larg-
er number of persons as a pleasing
summer aspect. The bank deserv-
es vote of thanks for thus plac-
ing on our public thoroughfare this
delightful relief to brick and NOR
tar all around, that will be more
enjoyed by the public than them
selves. Walter @. Jones, the

Spring is here, summer is right
ahead, and baseball is again the
predominant sport. Every young
ster in town, it seems, is out with
his ball and bat, with the desire to
initiate the big fellows" in the
game. Almost every little-travel-
ed street has been turned into an
impromptu baseball diamond and
there is a game going on in near
ly every vacant lot you pass. May
be it appears bit far fetched to
connect balmy spring days and a
reviving interest in the national

of caution probably means the diff

motorist has got to accept the sit

fact that as long as the youngsters
will not and can't think for them
selves in the heat of a sandlot
game or battle of scrub in the
street, he, the motorist, must do
their thinking for them and the
best way to do that is to make it
a fixed habit to drive mighty care

a ball game going on either in or

TWO DEATHS IN SMYRNA
CHRONIG ED

Two deaths Of young people,
both from pulmonary troubles, was
the event of Saturday, and both
were carried to the same last rest
ing places yesterday Odd Eel
lows Cemetery. The oldest of
these was Thomas E. Humphreys,
son of the late Alexander Hum
phreys, in his Seth year, and the
last of his fathers family. He
leaves a bereaved wife and three
little children. The other was
Herbert NJ. Spencer, at the resi-
dence of his mother, Amanda
Spencer, in his Goth year. His
father, Samuel E. Spencer, died
five years ago, but had attained
the middle age of life. A daugh-
ter had preceded him, just as she
had reached young womanhood.
Since, his three sons, at intervals
of a year or two, have followed,
and now the mother is left with an
only child, a married daughter.
Such bereavement calls for unus-
ual sympathy, which has been
warmly extended in both these in
stances.
! Mrs. Rebecca A. Mullen, wild
ow of the late Captain Mullen,
died yesterday at Smyrna Landing,
aged rs years. Mrs. Hendrickson
living there was her sister, as was
also the late Mrs. Scout. Mrs.
Mullen spent a considerable part
of her life in Dover, and during her
widowhood was a noted boarding
house keeper. She was a woman

FAITHFUL PUBLIC SERVICE
OF GEORGE w. TAYLOR

On last Saturday the voters of
the Smyrna Public Schools elect
ed Benton v. Weldon in the place
of George w. Taylor as a member
Of the Board of School Directors.
Mr.. Taylor thus closes public ser
vice as a school extending
over a period of eighteen years and
deserving more than passing no
tice. In 1871 Mr.. Taylor was
elected commissioner of united
districts and 107, and by success
sive reflections continued to serve
in that capacity until 1881, when
those districts were united with
districts 3 and II, together form
ing, by a special act of incorpora-
ton, Smyrna Public Schools. Since
1881 Mr.. Taylor has been a mem
Der of our Board of School ,Direc-
tors. Eighteen years of continu-
Gus service as school commissioner
is in itself an illustration of the
unobtrusive faithfulness of man
to the interests intrusted to him
and of the abiding confidence OF
this community in the trustworthi-
ness of George w. Taylor. Feeling
that such service should not be
brought to a close without some
emphasis of public appreciation,
have ventured to write this letter
Within the eighteen years of Mr.
Taylor's service, our schools have
had their growth and development
from ordinary village free schools
to schools which are unequaled In
