At The People's Theatre,
I Friday, Nov. 3rd.
"I "li certainly is one grand
low'" Thai is the way the fa
rjimis emit on "Life" summed up
Ijis impressions after witnessing a
jjerfnrniance of "The Bat," the
tremendously successful dramatic
jlayby Mary Roberts Rinehart and
v'ry Hopwood, which Wagen
HaU and Kemper present at the
People's Theatre on Friday, No
vember 3rd. And after all has
been said and done about "The
Bat," life's critic surely has offered
One of the best descriptions that
$ould possibly be given of the play.
"The Bat" is primarily a mys
try story. As such, it is unques
tionably in a class by itself. In
flci, scores of critics have unhesi
Aimgly called it the greatest mys
tery play ever produced. But
there is a real drama and there is
comedy in "The Bat". In fact,
lliere is quite as many laughs as
Anils during the play and as en
anainment, pure and simple, it is
100 per cent plus.
The story of "The Bat" never
has been told and it never will be
I the wishes ot authors and man
ners are respected. The first an
nouncements of the presentation of
"The Bat", as well as the first
fords catch the eye when the au
, deuce opens its programmes are a
'ftquest that the story not be told.
And thus far, although the play
fs been seen by more than one
Bullion persons, it is doubtful if
one has ever broken the confidence
imposed.
I Suffice to say, the story of "The
flat" is well worth while. It must
bt No play in years has had quite

HNDINU ONE'S WORK.
I" he selection of a right vocation
hie is a mallei' of supreme and
ragie importance. It spell success
or failure.
"Happy is t tie man who has
found his work." The instructor
who wisely helps a student to
house ihe calling in which fitness
nd adaptability combine for suc
cess has rendered an incalculable
service.
Many an unwise teacher has
spent tunle years trying to n
square pegs into round holes, or
round pegs into square holes. It
can't be done.
Somewhere, in the mighty plan
and equipment of the schools of
today, therf ought to be a "Chair
of adaptability" a department which
shall study boys and girls personal
lytheir temperaments, their na
tural gifts and capacities.
The wise, firm hand of counsel
should direct them toward the suc
cess which means happiness to
themselves and happiness to oth
ers.
Happy is the man who has
round his work! And blessed is
the teacher who has helped a man
to find his work.

While You are Here With
Us, Why Not Help Us
Make This a Better
Place for All of Us?
Dear friends, between the I'ig
style and the Castle is found the
Home of Happiness. People do
not live in pig-siyles here and there
are no castles, but there are many,
many happy homes.
This is your world it is your
home. Here you are known and
loved and respected. Here you
will live and move and have your
being. Here you will "sleep with
your fathers."
And while you are here with us,
why not help us make this a bener
place for all of us?
When you have money to spend
spend it here. Buy from our
own merchants. The money you
spend with them supports our com
munity and makes all of us that
much better oft'. The money you
send to far off places does not sup
port your community and makes
all of us poorer. When you spend
dollar to buy things away from
home, that you can get right here
in our own stores, no part of that
dollar will ever come back to you.
You take it from local circulation
nd every one of us, yourself in
cluded, is just that much ihe
poorer.
Support your own doctors your
own preachers your own mer
chantsyour own institutions
and your own newspaper.
And that brings us up to the
point where we want to say to you
a few words about ourselves.
Because we are all one big fam
ily here' having our little differ
ences, as all families do, we are in
terested in what goes on among
us. We take pleasure in the joys
of nur folk We grieve with them
over iheir sorrows. And one way
you can help us all ul us is just
to give us those biis of news now
and ihen, which go to make up a
newspaper, and without which no
newspaper is possible.
And another very important
matter. Do you know mat only
about 10 per cent of the merchants
in this town support ihe paper?
Thai is, ihey never give us a line
of advertising. A town is known
by its newspaper. Suppose a per
son living at a distance should get
hold of this paper, he would readi
ly conclude that we had a very un
progrcssive set of merchants.
We are giving you the best that
is in us. v eek in and week out,
month in and month out, year in
and year out, we are doing all we
can giving our loyal service to
make this a better place for all of
us to live in. We ask for your
support your help your good
word to us, and for us.
If you are not yel a subscriber,
there is no better time than now
just now to become one. If you
are a subscriber, whenever you
can, say a kindly word tor us to
those who are not.
This paper stands for the whole
town, county, and community
has an influence that extends far
beyond our community and tha
influence is always and ever. used
for the best. We seek to serve
every one here to make the entire
community richer, better, bigger.
We do not think of ME or YOU.
We think of ALL.
A BUSY PLACE.
Very few people, if they haven't
been there, know what a huge
business is conducted on First
street by the Weldon Motor Com
pany, ihe home of the Foi d cars.
If your car gets out of order, they
have expert mechanics who can
make it as good as new, at a small
cost, and in a short lime. If you
need new parts you will find them
there all the time. If you contem
plate buying a new car, don't buy
until you have discussed the matter
with Mr. N. S. Barnes, manager
of this company. Barnes can tell
you more about a car in five min
utes than any other man in the
State, and you can always rely on
what Barnes tells you. It you have
never seen thei famous "Lincoln"
car, it will pay you to look it over.
It is, indeed, the prettiest car on
the market to day. It glides along
so smoothly you really don't know
you are riding.
We will accept any scries of
Liberty Bonds at par value as cash
payment for furniture or as a credit
on account.

Rev. L, D. Hayman Is
Preaching Wonderful
Discourses at the First
M. E. Church.ll
Another large and highly appre
ciative audience greeted Rev. L.
D. Hayman at the First Meihodist
church last night. It has been
quite a while since a discourse was
more enjoyed. The theme of the
evening was the "Modern Man's
Difficulties." For the depth of
thought and be mty of presentation
it was a masterpiece. Mr. Hay
man speaks w ith ease and grace,
coining phrases carrying with them
an attractiveness more than invi
ting to the hearer. He tells the
story of the risen Lord in a plain
simple way, so plain that a mere
child can digest and take in. While
Mr. Hayman has only delivered
only two evening sermons, he has
fully impressed all who have heard
him as a speaker of more than or
dinary power and gift. The pas
tor is indeed fortunate in securing
him to assist him in the series of
meetings now in progress.
The services last night were es
pecially attractive boih in the ser
mons delivered and music under
the direction of Mr. Mark Swinge-
ly. Mrs. D. M. Carter, Sr., and
Mrs. Angus Cox charmed all with
their sweet vocal duet, "In the
Garden."
The number is increasing each
morning at the 6:15 service. This
service is proving to be the best of
the series. Those present this
morning said they never spent a
more profitable hour in a religious
way. The sunrise meeting grows
more popular each day.
I here will be services aaain
this evening. Song service begins
at 7:30 preaching promptly at 8
o'clock. Mr. Hayman's theme
for the evening will be, "Faith in
