“Weary Willie Walker,” sched
uled for Friday, January 6, is in
its fifth season of popularity.
Different from other tramp plays,
it has a strong dramatic plot
that makes it one of the best
plays on the road. The public
has a great treat in store for
them and those who fail to see
it will miss the best thing of the
season. dtd
Among the salespeople of
Jonesboro agitation for an early
closing hour is uppermost in
mind, and one of the leading!
firms proposes to thke a step!
that will eventually solve the '
problem. MarcuS Berger & Co.
purpose to close at 7 p. m.,
regardless of the action of
! of any other store. And in New
port if only a few of the larger
firms would start such a prece
dent, it wouldn’t be worth while
in a short time for the smaller
ones to renuun open. People
i would soon quft buying after es
tablished hours if they could on
j ly gain entrance to certain
stores.
