MR. AND MRS. POLLY TICKK
WERE GIVEN AN ENTHUSI
ASTIC RECEPTION HERE.
A capacity house grected the home
talent play, “Mr. and Mrs. Polly
Tickk,” Friday evening at the Palace
theatre, under the direction of the
‘Sewell Producing Company and auspi
ces of the Davis-Daniel post of the
’American Legion. It was a scream
from start to finish, contrasting
the times of 1850 to those of 1975,
and showing the possible outcome of
the ‘franchise in the hands of the new
woman,
Mr. Carl Melton as Father Time
and Miss Christine Woodburn as
Dame Fashion, with a number of be
trousered chorus girls, occupied the
stage as the curtain raised. The cast of
characters included Mrs. R. R. Jones,
Mrs. B. B. Perry, jr., Mrs. T He Cols
lier, Mrs. J. B. Petty, Mrs. Dudley
szeMsMrs. Jack McNulty, Miss Jes
sie artin, Miss Catherine Roberts,
Messrs. W. R. Melton, Marvin Clay,
John Grille, W. T. Christopher, J. H.
Nasworthy, W. R. Ground, Will Pace,
and Dudley Mize. Each member was
largely responsible for the success of
the play, but especial *mention should
be made of the work of Will Melton,
Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jack McNulty, Mr.
Christopher and Miss Jessie Martin.
!Last but by no means least the chil
dren of the Polly Tickks deserve spe
cial mention, little Mary Beth Jones
carrying off the horors by her ex
treme youth and ease of manner be
fore the public. It was the unanimous
verdict, however, that the chorus girls
of the flapper age were the whole
show. In many unique costumes they
presented songs and dances, showing
careful training and artistic skill. They
were Misses Elizabeth Riordan, Helen
Harrell, Elizabeth Parks, Theodosia
Hollingsworth, Alleene Brown, Mary
Nell Fitts, Sarah Shields and Madge
Jones.
The hit of the evening was the In
dian costume dance, with appropriate
tom tom music. Each musical number
was catchy. Mr. Melton’s parody on
the Rosary, “My Hosiery,”, was
well received, and the solo of Jesse
Chambless with the chorus of hus
bands, “Knitting,” furnished an addi
tional scream, 3
Taken as a whole the play was one
of the best ever staged in Dawson,
and much credit is due the manage
ment and the members of the entire
cast.
A goodly sum was realized for the
local post of the American Legion.

Way Down East™ Will 1
Shown at Palace Theatre:
i |
Remarkable Griffith Picture Eclipses
“Birth of a Nation.” Reserve Seats.
The local engagement of D. W.
Grifith’s wonder spectacle, “Way
Down East,” which comes to the Pal
ace theatre for a stay of two days be
ginning Thursday, is expected to be
one of the greatest successes this city
has ever seen.
It may seen a little unusual but
this paper knows enough in advance
about “Way Down East” to advise
that vou all lovers of the best i mo
tion pictures see this production at
the earliest opportunity because the
record of “Way Down East” in every
city where it has played is that it has
done “turn-away” box office business. |
From all reliable sources of informa
tion it is manifest that Griffith has
outdone himself in “Way Down East.”
He has taken a simple story of a
phase of New England life that is all
but too swiftly passing from view and
employed its plain people with their
quaint characters and their rugged
)sense of g¢he honest and the human and
unfolded a series of adventures and
}restraints which illumine the ever
‘trouble(l path of love. As Mr. Grii
ifith himself like to put it, “Way Down
‘East" is a tale of love and lovers in a
‘lrame of such exquisite charm and
pastoral beauty the most captious of
critics have said many of its scenes
are worthy to hang in the best art
!galleries of the world. Rising up from
|:ts charm and its humors in colorful
contrasts it rushes to a climax in the
lpowerful ice jam and the breaking up
of the floe on the river which com
bines every element of stirring drama
raxgl becomes at once the most as
tounding and remarkable scene ever
}seen within a playhouse in all times.

HOMICIDE NEAR BRONWOOD
RESULT OF HOGS BEING TA
KEN UP BY DEAD MAN.
~ Jim Martin, a negro about 60 years
old, was killed early” Thursday night
on the place of W. H. Miller, near
'Bronwood, by Glenn Brookshire, a
‘youth about 19 years of age and son
loi A. J. Brookshire, who lives on the
Miller farm.
It seems, from the best information
that can be obtained, that during
Thursday words passed between the
negro and the Brookshires wheén some
hogs belonging to the latter got into
Martin’s corn field and were taken up
by him, The matter was adjusted by
Brookshire promising to pay for the
damage done by his hogs, but when
they were sent for Martin refused to
give them up until the money was
paid.
That night as the elder Brookshire
and a younger son named Ted and a
daughter were leaving home to go to
church they met Martin in a wagon
returning from a gin and the trouble
about the hogs was renewed and a
fight ensued. Hearing the difficulty
between his father and the negro
Glenn Brookshire, who was in a store
a short distance away, picked up a
shot gun and ran to the scene of the
fight. He in turn was assaulted by the
‘bel]igerent negro, and he says to de
fend himself and father he was com
pelled to shoot.
~ The load of -shot entered Martin’s
mouth, but remarkable to say he was
not instantly killed. He had crept
about half way to his home a hali
mile distant when some one came
along and carried him the balance of
the way. He lived until after a phy
sician was summoned and reached his
bedside.
Saturday afternoon Jesse Martin, a
son of the dead negro, swore out war
rants charging Glenn Brookshire with
murder and A. J. and Ted Brookshire
with assault and battery. Sheriff
Woods served the warrants that night,
and put Glenn Brookshire in jail and
released the other two under bond of
$2OO each.
* At a committal trial before Magis
trate J. W. Peddy on Monday young
Brookshire was released on the
grounds of justifiable homicide.
In the cases of the other two men
evidence was not sufficient to bind
them over.
FLUSHED A COVEY OF
SKINNERS NEAR BRONWOOD
Result Was the Capture of One Black
Bird by Officers.
. Saturday night Sheriff Woods and
Deputy Sheriff Jennings were called
by telephone to a farm near Bron
wood where, it was reported a skin
game was in progress. The officers
arrived at the scene in due time and
after watching the game ‘for awhile
proceeded in an effort to bag the en
tire bunch. There was a rush into the
darkness of the night when the pres
ence of the officers became known,
and in the “scatteration” only one of
the gamesters, Silas Harris, became
enmeshed in the clutches of the law.
Silas was brought to Dawson and giv
en quarters in the county jail, where
he has ample time to meditate upon
the consequences of violating the law.
MATERIAL ARRIVING FOR
EXTENSION OF WHITE WAY
Thirty More Lamps Will Be Installed
During Next Month.
~ Councilman W. H. Locke, chairman
of the light committee, states that the
material and equipment for extending
the white way on Main street to the
Central railroad passenger station is
now being received, and that the work
iof installing the lamps will be begun
inext week and finished by November
Ist. Thirty additional lights will be in
}stalled. and will add greatly to the
‘main thoroughfare to the railroaod
lstation. The white way and the tear
ing down of unsighly awnings have
added greatly to the business section
of the city, and the mayor and council
deserve commendation for these im
provements.
