William Vaughan Moody's
great American play, “The Great
Divide,” the tremendous story of
a real Eastern girl’s hatred and
eventual love for an untamed
rough character of |the west,
which is well remembered as the
play in which Henry Miller and
Margaret Anglin starred success
fully for many seasons, is the lat
est offering to be made to motion
picture fans. The play has been
produced in five acts by the Lub
in Company with House Peters
and Ethel Clayton in the roles
formerly played by Mr. Miller
and Miss Anglin.
The photo-play versions has
been accorded a unanimous
praise by motion picture and
damatic critics both {or its scenic
grandeur and its remarkable act
ing. It was produced at the bot
tom of the Grand Canyon of Ariz
orsgat the identical spot of which
;\lm;m' Moody wrote.
Prominent among the “punch
es” of the picture are the tremen
dous landslide in which the en
tire side of a mountain is forced
away by a terrific charge of dy
namite the fight for possession of
Ruth by Ghent, Pedro and
“Dutch” in Ruth’s cabin and the
wonderful night scenes which
have been taken with the aid of
the new Lubin portable automo
bile lighting outfit.
“The Great Divide” has been
produced under the direction of
Edgar Lewis, former director of
the William Farnum productions
and is from a screen adaption of
the famous story by Anthony P.
Kelly, the writer of “The Soul of
a Woman.” It will be shown at
the Grand theatre tonight.
THE REVIVAL
The “Unfolding Gospel” was
the subject of Bro. Orahood’s re
marks last evening at the Central
Christian church. The speaker
traced the unfolding of God’s pur
pose down through the ages until
it reached its full fruitage in
Christ.
If you missed this service you
are the poorer for it. ,
The music, as usual, was splen
did. Bro. St. John’s solo, “Some
One is Watching Your Light,”
was a treat of itself. That he is
the best singer that has ever vis
ited our town there is no doubt.
The subject for the sermon to
night is “Faith,” Thursday “Re
pentance,” and Friday night,
“Baptism.” These sermons will
deal with the fundamental doc
trine of the Christian religion.
Ample Scriptural references will
he sighted to back up every as
sertion.
Song services will begin ag 7:45
lu'c]nck. You are cordially invit
ed to be there.

Dear Mr. Bowen:-
Your venerable father, before you, while he wus President of this bank, was more
concerned about the growth and progress of this bank than about any other financial interest of his; and,
knowing that you entertain that same keen interest in our growth and prosperity, we feel it will be very
pleasing to you, and a source of much congratulation, to receive official certitication from the active officers
that. the bank, of which you have the honor of being President, that this bank has just attained to the
signal distinction of having its assets pass the MILLION DOLLAR MARK, and that therefore, Fitzgerald
has a MILLION DOLLAR bank,
This letter, then, is to certify the fact of this new honor just achieved and to ex”
press eur appreciation of every bit of your safe and wise counsel so freely given many times when needed,
at the same time, we wish it known that the other o .ic>"s and directors are to share with you these con
gratulation and appreciations.
Cordially you. o

MISSIONARY MEETING
The Central Methodist Mission
ary Society met Monday after
noon in a business session, with
the president, Mrs. Prentiss, pre
siding. Among the important
matters discussed was the meni
bership campaign, to begin on
September 19th, when the mem
bers of the Society having first
met for prayer will go out in
twos, making a house to house
canvass among the church mem
bers, seeking to arouse interest
and to enlist new members for the
Society, who will join heart and
hand in the work for the Master.
The meaning of the word cam
paign is a series of connected op
erations: the time that the army
keeps the field. It is our purpose
to keep the field and to keep what
we have already acquired. This
membership campaign will be
preceded by a devontional nicet
ing of the Society on Monday,
September 18th, when the sub
ject will be “Vashti,” led by Mrs.
Bowen and Mrs, Brower. Vashti
has been called our “life-saving
station.” It is a home for friend
less girls located at Thomasville,
Ga. Its object 1s to rescue girls
who are in danger and give them
a chance and a right start in life.
And right along this line was
our Bible lesson Monday after
noon, when Mrs. Farmer told of
the responsibility of the mothers
of daughters, and of the restric
tions necessary, especially in the
matter of dress, using the lesson
taken from Samuel in which Eh
was condemned because he re
strained not his sons. Mrs. Davis
gave an interesting talk, telling of
the experiences of a returned mis
sionary from Korea whom she
had spent some time during the
summer. She also had on exhibit
some very unique and interesting
souvenirs from Korea.
The meeting was well attended
and,much interest shown. Those
who found *t impossible to be
present at this meeting are urged
to make a special effort to attend
the next meeting on September
IBth. It is desired that all mem
bers be present.
MRS. A. H. DENMARK,
Publicity Superintendent.
SURPRISE PARTY
One of the pleasant events of
last week, in a social way, was the
surprise party at the pleasant
home of Mr. and Mrs. Sapine,
west of the city.
About ten o'clock on Thursday,
the Grand Army ladies, with well
filled baskets, made a raid on
them, giving them a complete
surprise.
At noon a table was set in the
shade on the lawn, and from the
abundance of good things placed
on it, you would think there was
no need to worry over either hard
times or strikes. Twenty-seven
sat down and partook of the
bountiful dinner, and then spent
the time until four o’clock in a
good social visit, when each went
home well pleased with their
day’s visiting.

ENGLISH PAPERS FEAR
GREAT AMERICAN NAVY
\
Shanghai, Aug. 15.—Lnglish
newspapers in Chinese treaty
ports devote much space to dis
cussion of the American naval
building program. Practically
all the English papers have print
ed editorials on the subject in
which they speculate as to what
use the United States will make
of a great fleet after it acquires
it. :
The following comment from
the North China Daily News of
Shanghai is typical of the Eng
lish expressions: ‘“America ob
viously means to have a big fleet.
What, when it is ready, does she
intend to do with it? Presumably
we shall get an answer when we
know what ‘undiluted American
ism’ means.”
