wealth flowed into the lap of
Greece. She built her temple* and '
her (freat buildings of art, anrf the I
civilized world came and sat under|
the shadow of her academic build-
ings. Philosophy was born in
Greece. Her scholars and her
orators, and her architectural art-
ists dominated all the world. It is
said of I'lato that his political
philosophy dominated all the na-
tion-: around about for thou-ands
of year.-. Arid though Greece has
been dead for thousands of year-,
yet her power and art and phil-
osophy have been felt since thru-
out all the civilized world. All
honor to (ireece, and we hope her
power will come back yet.

CATTLE SALES continue in
Shackelford county throughout the

Recently F. W, Alexander of Dia-

auction, selling II head of regis-
tered bulls and heifers. This week

THE PLAY, "Night Must Fall,"
sponsored by the Bundles for Brit-
ain" organization here, was in-
deed fine. It was presented last
Thursday night, the gate receipts
aggregating better than |200.
Robert Nail directed the play, and
with a talented cast, the play pro-
vided an evening of fine entertain-
ment. One of the treats of the
evening was the fact that Bobby
Nail, who has directed plays, pag-
eants, the Fort Griffin Fandangle
here, who has directed Little
Theatres, and who has had a num-
ber of plays published, took a
part in the cast. This was the
first time Hobby has ever taken a
part in a play, that is, since his
high school days. And he can act
as well as direct. The News and
the city congratulates Mr. Nail
, under the direction of Rot. J. A.
Owen, pastor of the Matthews
Memorial Presbyterian church.
Lawyer: "Then you admit that
you struck the plaintiff with malice
aforethought?"
Defendant (indignantly): "You
can't mix me up lilw tint. Pro ttU
yon twice that I hit him with a
brick, and on purpose. There
wasn't no mallets nor nothing of
the kind about it—just a plain
brick like any gentleman weald
use."
