"THK HIHTII OF A NATION."
To he Shown in Columbia November
212, 221 and 21.
' D. W. Griffith's mighty historical
spectacle, "The Birtl^ of a Nation,"
will be presented at the Columbia
Theatre, Columbia, Monday. Tuesday
and Wednesday, November 22. 2.1 and
24, exactly as it is being shown in
New ?Vork, Chicago, Philadelphia,
Boston and other large cities where
It has been running for several
months. The spectacle will be accompanied
by a symphony orchestra
of thirty pieces and the services of
fifty people will be employed in each
presentation.
As most playgoers know, "The
Birth of a Nation." is a picturization
of the Dixon stories of the Reconstruction,
"The Clansman" and "The
Leopard's Spots," but the Dixon plays
and novels have been thoroughly
dwarfed by comparison. Griffith employed
18,000 people and 1,000
horses and spent $500,000 in making
his production with the great outdoors
as his stage. He has reproduced
the Battle of Petersburg, Sherman's
march to the sea, the meeting
of Lee and Grant at Appomattox, and
the assassination of Abraham Lincoln
in Ford's Theatre, Washington the
gflp night of April 14, 1865, with such
amazing realism that the audience is
held snellbound throughout three
hours that the spectacle runs.
a- There will be five performances at
0 the Columbia Theatre, including
^matinees at 3 o'clock Tuesday and
FpwMnfiday. The night performances
\ Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
! will at 8:10. The night prices
will ranfea; 'rom 50 cents to $2 and
the matinee pices from 25 cents to
$1. Seats for a!J performances will
i be placed on sale ai the box office Friday
morning and a? 'he spectacle is
I attracting tremendoua'WrowdB everyj
where, thone intending to see It
J should try to obtain ticket well in
I advance.

Hnake. s
Coroner M. N. Johnson of Flat
Creek township brought to this office i
last Friday a sweet potato which had
grown in the shrane of a coiled tnske.
It Is very small but from head to tail
it closely resembles a snake. Th's
queer ?ot?t? grew on Mr. Frank
Gardner's place.
