POPULARITY CONTEST AMONG
BABIES
A popularity contest among the
babies of Jefferson is causing no lit
tle excitement here at present, and
the bulletin board at the store of
Moore & Ellngton, where the votes
are posted each day, is scrutinized
daily by parents and friends of the
youthful candidates.
The baby candidates, dressed in
their best bibs and tuckers, were
paraded around town Friday after
noon, so that the voters might get a
bird’s-eye view of their beauty, man
ly qualities and special accomplish
ments. Of course, each baby look
ed like a winner, and the fond par
ents of each candidate felt confident
theirs would head the list when all
votes are counted.
The cor.test is sponsored by the
Baptist church, and is being direct
ed by Miss Elizabeth Rigdon, and the
following names are on the ticket:
Harry Bryan, Dickie Copas, Freddie
Culberson, Carol Dadisman, Martha
Pern Fite, Rebecca Garrison, Ada
Ellen Hardy, Clarice Maddox, Bob
bie Loggins, Betty Ann Roberts,
Billie Sailors, Bobbie Sailors, Sara
Ann Wall, Imogene Westmoreland,
Eleapor Willis and Tommie Wright.
To date, according to the bulletin
board, Clarice Maddox, second daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Y. D. Maddox,
is leading, with Fred Culberson, Jr.,
a close second, but the contest does
not end until June 21, so a dark
horse may be in the grooming for a
fresh start, and until the last vote is
counted, the result of the race is
uncertain. If any one has a few j
cents or dollars he wishes to spend J
on the contest, all he has to do is se
lect his candidate, turn in the cash,
and have his votes recorded.
BAPTIST W. M. S. MEETING
The regular monthly session of
the Baptist W. M. S. was held Mon
day afternoon, June 3, at the church.

that $5.00 approximately was real
ized from the sale of salt. A motion
was passed to always keep a fund of
$3.00 in the emergency treasury.
It was also voted at this time to send
$2.00 to White Cross Chairman.
Mrs. Ed Hardy, chairman of the fi
nance committee, next presented
two plans for making money: a pic
nic supper, and a baby show. Miss

pointed co-chairmen. '

Kit Guard, the Smiley of the pic

“I hear the kidnapers are offer

get rid of that guy Bernie.”
Bernie and his lads top the cast
of “Stolen Harmony,” a medley of
comedy, thrills and melody, with
George Raft sharing the starring
billing.
The picture is the story of a maes
tro who tours the country with his
band in an enormous bus. In his
company is George Raft, a reformed
convict trying to go straight.
The musical score of “Stolen Har
mony” was written by Mack Gordon

NEGRO ARRESTED FOR
AN ATTACK MOVED TO
ANOTHER COUNTY
On account of threats of violence
by an enraged populace, a negro
identified as J. B. Allen, accused of
attacking a white lady near Nichol
son on Wednesday of last week, has
been transferred from the Jackson
county jail to another county.
The negro, who is said to be an
escaped convict from the Morgan
county chaingang, was arrested near
Commerce by Sheriff R. M. Culber
son, and was at first confined in the
jail here.
The alleged attack took place a
bout nine o’clock at the home of
the lady near Nicholson, and when
arrested later in the day was identi
fied by her as the person who made
the attack upon her. In the strug
gle with the negro, she hit him with
an iron shoe last, and when he was
captured there was a swollen bump
on his head.
Athens police came to Jefferson to
see the negro after his arrest in an
effort to identify him as the negro
who attempted to attack a white
lady in Athens Tuesday night, and
are sure that he is the same negro.
The negro will be given a fair
trial, and if he is guilty, there is no
punishment too severe for this das
tardly deed.
“BURN ’EM UP BARNES”
Mascot Master Serial Starring Fran
kie Darro, Sets Pace For Stunt*
And Thrillodrama.
“Burn ’Em* Up Barnes,” the new
Mascot Master Serial which will be
seen at the Roosevelt Theatre on
Tuesday and Wednesday, and for
twelve succeeding weeks thereafter,
sets a pace for stunts and thrills far
in advance of anything yet offered
for the screen.
This thrillodrama featuring Fran
kie Darro, Jack Mulhall, Lola Lane
and Jason Robards at the head of a
big supporting cast, utilizes about
every modern automotive method of
transportation on wings or wheels.
The story derives its title from
the name of “Burn ’Em Up Barnes,
a famous auto racer, acclaimed
“king of the dirt tracks,” who af
ter an accident which kills his best
pal, retires from the racing game to
a more tranquil mode of earning
a living. Events, however, force bim
back, not only as a race driver but
as a motion picture stunt man. ho
many movie secrets have been re
vealed that nowadays nearly all dyed
in the wool film fans are familiar
with “how it’s done.” In this hair
raising Mascot picture, however, are
dare-devil deeds that decry. any,
however skillfull, camera faking.
Automobiles, whizzing around the
tracks at over a hundred miles an
hour are seen to crash through guard
rails, roll over and burst into flam
es. Highpowered cars are deliber
ately driven together in head-on
collisions. One particularly thrill
ing moment will show a race driver
ramming his car into the rear en
of the car ahead, setting fire to the
gas tank and blowing it up.
There are twelve thrilling chap
ters to “Barn ’Em Up Barnes, and
several hundred hair-raisers are in
cluded at the rate of ten or more m
each episode. How the players sur
vived, without at least minor in
juries is one of movieland s unre
vealed secrets.
