.starts with a rush and never lets down. Flashing through Broadway jazz pal
aces down to the dens of the underworld. With lovely Betty Compson as the
society girl who prefers a crook to her rich lovers. A great story, beautiful pro

New Automobile Comb*

The Star automobile has come te

the local agent says it is going to stay.
embodies many points of Interest
to motorists from price np or down as
may bo advisable. The cars are al
ready here and Mr. Fleming Is dem-
onstratlng them for customers today.
This car Is a new one on the market
and comes along with the Durant car,
which is a higher priced car. Both are
made by the Durant Motor Company
aro said to be the sensation of the
entries into tlio car manufacturing
business. Mr. Fleming will handle
these cars exclusively and is advertis
ing to show them at the Smith-Flerolng
Company at any time. The announce
ment will doubtless be read with much
Interest throughout this sectlo- of the
state.
Delightful Dance
Last Night—
The dance at the Country Cub last
night was a very delightful affair, as
all of tho entertainments given by
the members of the dab, and was
largely attended.
The club house was bright with
Christmas decorations of green and
I, and dancing was kept up until s
late hour. The presence of a numbet
girls and young men home tot
the holidays added much to the pleas-
of the evening.
A False Alarm-
Just another instance of how rumor
in he exaggerated Into something so
foreign to facts as to be unrecognis
able. This morning the streets re
sounded with the story of a big theft
of overcoats, ate., at the Conntry Club.
The reporter raced around trying to
get at It and finally discovered that
two young men. In leaving the building
had taken the wrong coats. They had
been located and the proper exchanges
made before the rumor got started.
There was of course nothing to It as
tbere are to many such rumors. Here
after the reporter would be glad If
these rumors were confined to some
semblance of the truth so that It won’t
be so arduous to try and run one down
to lta lair.

Do First Days After Xmas Show
Weather for Coming Year—
There Is an old superstition that ths
first twelve days after Christmas will
show what the weather will be for the
coming year. If that Is anything to go
by, January should be very warm and
sunshiny, as today has been spring
like, and after the lifting of the fog
in has shone out brilliantly.
Like many of the old superstitions,
however, they have very little fonnda-
tion In tact, and what those twalvt
days'are will not give much Informs
tlon as to the state of the weather
next year.
Tbere doesn’t seem a cbanco for
Professor Snider’s snow tomorrow, at
least In the South, and maybe he was
thinking of Alaska when be propho

Rev. J. M. Rushln Injured In
Auto Accident—
Rev. J. M. Rushln, of Boston, was
severely injured Sunday when he was
knocked down by a car on the streets
of Boston. The car, a Ford driven
by Mr. Claude Hunter, of Quitman,
was hackin gout from the curb Just
as Mr. Rushln walked aersss the
streets to enter the postoffice. The
driver did not see Mr. Rushln and he
did not know that the car was back
ing Into the middle of the street. The
force of the blow knocked Mr. Rush-
In down, and the differential rested
on his chest.
He was picked up In a few seconds,
after the car had been lifted off his
chest, and taken home. An examlna*
tion showed that three ribs had been
ihed. Reports from his bedside
yesterday afternoon stated that he
as doing fine and would recover In
short time from the effect of the In
juries, If no serious complications sot
Mr. Rnshln is one of the
popular men In Thomas connty and
beloved throughout the state,
friends will be delighted to hear that
his Injuries will not prove
rlous.
Knights Tempter Held
Christmas Observance—
Bethlehem Commandery, Knights
Templar, held the usual Christmas ob
servance meeting yesterday at 12
’clock, with a large number of Sir

ment of the United States. Grand
Commander Thomas W. Ridley of
Georgia, Past Commander J. M.
Rushln at Boston, Past Grand Com
mander R. Lee Wylly at Albany, and
Eminent Commander B. B. Broughton
of the local commandery. Sentiments
Indicative of the love exemplified by
life of Christ were expressed very
beautifully by the Sir Knights, whoso
order Is founded on the Christian
ligion and whose regulations require
observances at both Christmas and
Good Friday.
Christmas Carols Very
Much Enjoyed—
The Christmas carols wer<
Sunday evening at 6 o’clock
court house grounds. In the presence
of a large number of people, gathered
the yard and sitting In autos parked
very close to the gate. The electric
star was lighted a short tln\,e before 6
o'clock, swung across Broad street,
and showed up beautifully from either
end of the wide thoroughfare. The
portion of the Gospel by St. Luke, tell
ing of the birth of Jesus and the visi
tation of the shepherds, was read by
Rev. Pan! Ellis, of the Methodist
church. The carols were sung by the
children and by the various choirs of
the city and many in the crowd Joined
in the familiar and ever beautiful an
thems slgnlficent of the great love
that came to the world with the birth
of Jesus Christ.
Everything Is Quiet
After Christmas—
The stores presented a very differ
ent appearance this morning from
what they did Saturday, and the derka
are finding time to breathe once more.
Everything looks swept and garnlsb
ed and everybody was trying to clean
up after the rush. The groceries have
been doing a pretty good business,
with two days between most house
keepers have to renew their supplies,
as Christmas was a time when they
went pretty fast Things have settled
down again and it will be a whole year
before there Is another Christmas.

The Best Story Of
the Season—
Mr. Emmett Nordon tells the best
deer story of the season, or perhaps of
any season lately. He was coming to
town from the lake when he
deer In the road near the Mason place
In Grady county. One Jumped the
ditch and fence at the side of
road, and the other made an attempt
but failed, hls head strklng the barbed-
wire at the top of the fence. He
ed back and made another Jump, just
as the car came up. But this attempt
was also a failure and he fe]J to the
ground. Mr. Nordan thought perhaps
he was a tame deer and put the
mal, sorely wounded,, In the truck he
was drivln gand carried him toward
Beachton. When seen by residents of
that section, they exclaimed that the
deer was wild and that he would die
result of hls wounds. He waa
killed Immediately. It was a fine
buck and weighed about a hundred
pounds. Mr. Jim Cocroft, also one of
the C. C. Cocroft Music Company,
bagged his first wild turkey yesterday
and It was one of the handsomest
specimens of the season, weighing
about twenty-one pounds. Mr. Al
Mars, also with the firm, is Just as
proud of the quail he killed on his
Christmas hunt, one bird, but It made
up for deficiencies In numbers, by
other desirable qualifications, which
Mr. Mara Is having to tell time and
time again to hls friends today.
Something You Never
Saw Before-
Kick In” to the Grand Theatre today

.w before, the first appearance of a
really big picture In the entire South.

the first time In any section of the
South, an unusual honor and distlnc-
for any of the small theatres. The
picture goes to the Howard Theatre

did meodrama and carrying splendid
acting by Bert Lytell, Betty Compson
and May McAvoy. The price here Is

forty cents In the evening. The trom
bone artist, who paraded the streets
this morning, was advertising the
show and he created no little inter
est and amusement
Christmas Brought
Ideal Weather-
Yesterday waa an Ideal Southern
Christmas, the Weather Bureau having
tried Itself to see what it could do la
giving the heat It had for the occasion.
Up North a cold Christmas with plenty
of snow on the ground, Is considered
the proper thing and a “green Chr!«
mas” is not a thing to be desired. But
down In this part of God's country
everybody likes to see It bright and
warm with plenty of flowers In bloom
and the sun shining. Just a
here yesterday. Everybody
and the children had the time of their
lives and burnt up Just about as
powder as they could and this
lug the sidewalks and yards In many
sections of the city showed It In the
remains of firecrackers, Roman can-’
dies,etc., that were scattered around.!
They can’t enjoy It but once, however,
and that Is while they are young, so*
nobody should grumble at a little dis
comfort as a result of It.
Bright Weather
Helps Roads—
The sunshine of the past few days
as not only been very delghtful but j
has helped In drying off the road*
around the country, somo of which!
were rendered almost lmpassablo by j
the unusually bad weather that pre-|
vailed for so long. The road from!
Thomasville to Cairo was one of the]
worst ones and was badly washed in'
places, giving antomoblllsts a hard :
time In getting along. The mud has
•U dried ofr ana the only trouble now i
Is to avoid possible bad places which 1
have been washed. The roads of!
Thomas county are very good general
ly, but of course need constant work-'
lng to keep them so and the road force |
la being kept busy with the change to
good weather again. ,
