#*?*** * LEROY THEATRE IN-
OUR
Egg-Breaking Plant
IS IN OPERATION
We have started breaking eggs and that means
that we need all the eggs we can buy—it means
that you will get every cent we possibly can pay
for eggs. We are not running at capacity and will
not for a time, but we have storage space for all
the eggs we can buy. Be sure you sell your eggs
for all they are worth—you will if you sell to us.
POULTRY AND CREAM, TOO
Of course our dressing plant will take care of
all the poultry we can get hold of. That means
that we want yours—and remember that we pay
the TOP AT OUR DOORS, the same price to ev-
erybody for Eggs, Poultry and Cream.
Help us to help you, and help us to give em-
ployment to your friends in our dressing and egg
breaking plants.

found the sound in the Leroy to be
by far better than any of the theatres
he visited. In most cases the pro-
jection in the Leroy was better than
in other theatres and he only found 1
theatre with better projection. Mr.
Donnell discovered this particular
theatre with such splendid projection
had recently installed a newly de-
veloped sound screen which made the
picture stand out better than any he
had ever seen. Therefore, there was
only one thing that could possibly im-
prove the Leroy and that was to in-
stall this newly developed silver-
screen. This new screen would have

not sound any louder to you when

it does when you are 100 or more

must be soft, mellow and perfectly

WOMAN’S MISSIONARY MEETING
The Methodist ladies enjoyed a de-
lightful meeting Tuesday aftex-noon
with Mrs. M. Y. Stokes. The recent
zone meeting at San Saba was dis-
cussed. Mrs. Walter Martin, the sec-
retax-y of the zone, resigned her of-
fice on account of her intended move
to San Antonio. Mrs. Davis of Lo-
meta was elected in her stead. The
zoxxe will hold two meetings a year,
one in May and one in October, in-
stead of four, as they have been do-
ing. The five delegates reported a
most enjoyable day.
Regrets were expressed for the aux-
iliary at giving up Mrs. Martin, who
had been such a helpful membex-, but
she was congratulated on the fact
that she was going to a lax-ger field
of activity and interest. A warnx in-
vitation was givexx her to always be
with the society here when possible,
and to feel at home with thenx.
Mrs. J. F. Gilbert gave the devo-
tional and church study. This was
followed by the concluding chapters
of the mission study, “Women of the
Orient,” presented by Mrs. Stokes,
and Mrs. Chaides Stokes.
Delicious refreshments were pass-
ed, and a social half hour was spent.
The next meeting will be held with
Mrs. Frank Mace, with Mrs. E. Smith

g-x-am.—Reporter.
NEW and USED FURNITURE—
Beds, springs, bed room suites, dres-
sers, living i-oom suites, rockex-s,
chaix’s. odd settees, kitchen cabinets
and tables, dining chairs and tables,
sewing machines, wood and oil stoves.
Good quality. Good stock. Cash or
superior and a humaneness not al-
ways found in higher circles. Their
primitive way of life, their rich and
picturesque individualities, their un-
huxTied perception of the strange
sights and sounds of nature, their
awareness of the feelings of each
other, their peace, is described with
a skill that commands the reader’s
interest and causes him to lose him-
self in the tale and its characters.
Miss Bx-owning next gave a sketch
of the life of Jos. Hex-gesheimer,
who has a sincere style skillfully
wrought to call up the atmosphere
demanded, by the time and the char-
acters. “Tropical Winter” is a book
of ten short stories of social climb-
ers, of Palm Beach in Florida, where
the very rich spend the winter in
homes of imitation Spanish houses
or Roman villas, with marginal pools
and gorgeous flowers outside, where
there is nothing to do but think of
money and eat too much food. Some
are lightly amusing, others definite-
ly tragic.
Mrs. Matthews led a round-table
discussion on Mrs. Rawlings’ book
which she found embarrassing as
well as vigorous. Also the vivid
descx’iptions at the beginning of
every chapter. The superstitions of
these ignorant people, such as burn-
ing onion peelings in the stove to
drive all quarreling from the house.
Mx-s. Moses gave some impressions
of the music of the people—x-eading
the words of their songs: “Sugar and
the Guard”, “Get Away Down to
Richmond Town,” “Come All You
Geox-gia Boys.”
Mrs. Allen told of the occupations
—floating logs down the river in
rafts, trapping, alligatoring and
mooxxshining.
During- a social period a refresh-
ment plate, consisting of sandwiches,
peach salad, caraway crackers, olives,
date-chews and tea was served by
the hostess.
