Newton County
Bananas
Mr. R. D. Dorsey of Starrsville has
a banana tree in full fruitage and if
off the crop will he har
September. The plant sur
Newton County winter and
the bamboo Shrubs in the same tract
are flourishing. All of which goes to
show that yo ucan raise anything in
Newton County.
Mr. Dorsey has a wonderful garden
tract on his splendid farm in which all
sorts of shrubs and flowers are grown.
Here one may see plants from all over
the world, roses, asters, chrysanthe
mums and shrubbery of every descrip
tion.
-An artificial lake contains tame fisli
that follow the owner as he walks
along the bank. They eat out of his
hand and .can lie caught by hand. An
interesting and little known fact is
exemplified here. When the mama
fish deposits her eggs in a nest built
by the male fish, the papa fish takes
charge of them and guards the fish
lings from the wicked mama fish who
returns t oeat up her offspring. It
keeps papa busy nntl Ibis children are
too big t obe eaten easily.
Mr. Dorsey is an enthusiast on the
subject of flowers and shrubs and de
serves the name of Newton County’s
Burbank.
The homestead, a handsome brick
building Is surrronnded by beautiful
trees and commodious hams and out
buildings. It is one of the handsomest
places in Newton County.
Christian Science
Society
“Spirit” was th esubjeet of the Les
son-Sermon in the Christian Science
Society, of Covington last Sunday.
The Golden Text was from Isaiah
44:3, “I will pour water upon him
that Is thirsty, and floods upon the*
dry ground; I will pour my spirit
upon thy seed, and my blessing upon
thine offspring.”
The Lesson-Sermon also included*
the following passage from the Chris
tian Science textbook, “Science and
Health with Key to the Scriptures”, by
Mary Baker Eddy: “In Science, all be
ing is eternal, spiritual, perfect, har
monious in every action. Let the per
fect model be present in your thoughts
instead of its demoralized opiiosite.
This spiritualization of thought lets
in the light, and brings the divine
Mind. Life not death, into your con
sciousness”, (p. 407).
Howard To Show
Great Spectacle
“Noah’s Ark”, the Vitaphone pro
duel ion heralded as being “made to
top any picture ever made”, has been
hoofced by the Howard, Atlanta’s lead
ins theatre, for a week’s run starting
Monday, August 19. This stupendous
production Includes more than ten
thousand characters, three years wer*
required to make it. and its cost is
said to exceed $2,000,000.
Lavish sets and scenes which far
transcend any similar production in
motion picture history form an out
standing part of “Noah’s Ark”. To
mention ? ut few of the spectacles with
which the film is replete, there is a
modern train werck so vivid and real
istic that spectators gasp for breath.
Then the Flood! A huge wall of water
sweeps down, crumbling to pieces th' 1
massive temple of revelry, where the
doomed of the world made merrv even
as they faced eternity.
Sound—the new art in picture enter
tainment—is vindicated as never be
fore by the magnificient weep of the
story, by the manifold sounds of tu
mult. slavery, flood, terror, mirth,
and by the human voice. And never
before has quite so melodiously in
terpretive an accompaniment been
provided as that which follows the ev
erchanging scenes of “Noah’s Aark.”
Dolores Costello and George O-Brien
are starred in the picture, supported by
a notable cast including Noah Berry.
Louise Fazenda. Gwinn Williams, Paul
MsAllister. Nigel de Brulier and
Alyrna Loy. The- theme of the play is
the changelessness of the heart of hu
manity—whether in the modern life
that we know, or in the traditional
past. Tremendous as is the theme of
the play, the human story which runs
throughout it is compelling, intimate
and tender. “Noah’s Ark” stands alone
'among pictures.
