Bradley, died at her home in Troy last Thursday morn- Sag. at 3:30 o’clock, after an illness of about ten days. She suffered from uremic poisoning, and pneumonia developed a few days before. The funeral services were con ducted at the home on Friday after noon at 3 o’clock by Rev. J. H. Buz- hardt, pastor of the Associate Re formed Presbyterian Church, and interment followed in the Troy cem etery. Mrs. Bradley was 70 yeais of age, and was a daughter of the late Capt. Robert L. Lites and Mary Chiles Lites of the Troy section. She had made her home at Troy most of her life and was generally beloved for her genuine Christian character. Her husband was a prominent citizen at Troy, a son of the late Capt. W. K. Bradley. Mrs. Bradley is survived by one sister, Mrs. Mollie Latimer, of Ashe ville, N. C. Another sister, Mrs. Fannie L. Dendy, and a brother, Mr. Thomas C Lites, died a number of | jtears ago. Besides the sister, she is survived by several nieces and nephews, in- “She looks like a caricature” is usually anything but a compliment ary phrase. But there are times when resem blance to a cartoon means real phy sical pulchritude!^ As the frivolous but lovable Tillie of Russ Westover’s internationally famous comic strip, “Tillie the Toil er,” a Cosmopolitan production play ing at the Dixie Theatre, next Fri day and Saturday. Marion Davies has one of the most attractive roles of her entire screen career. One of the psychological reasons for the marked success of this comic strip, upon which this film is based, is the daintines of the Tillie cari cature. The cartoonist has not failed to draw her as a girl of slender fig ure, beaut : ful profile, dainty features and with facial features indicative of personal charm, despite a frivol ous nature. / Millions who daily read the comic strip have learned to regard Tillie as a sympathetic figure, a girl of charm lacking in sophistication but with a wealth of personality and ajppeal that is irresistible. ^ - Honor Roll Of The Wideman School for the month ending December 9, 1927, and January 13, 1928. „ Paul Edjmunds y(2) Daisy Edmunds (2) Lizzie M.

Trea With one Treatment RUBBED on throat and chest, Vicks does two things at once: (1) It is vaporized by the body heat and inhaled direct to the in flamed air passages, and (2) It stimulates the sltin like an old-fashioned poultice and “draws out” the soreness. VAPOR UB On/r t?MiiuoNM*sUs£DYEMut An interesting feature of the mar velous reception of “The Big Par ade” in New York and other cities is the unanimity of opinion from all reviewers that “The Big Parade” is 100 per cent. Generally in each big town there is one severe critic whose comments the press agents carfully* put in cold storage whilst they re peat only the encomiums of the more complacent. But in the case of “The Big Parade” the whole sheaf of reviews can be laid on the dra matic editor's desk. So far there has been no Zeno or Diogenes to damn it. Perhaps one of the causes of this astonishing unanimity is that both Laurence Stallings, author, and King Vidor worked with heart and main to present the truth of the Big Show, as the doughboys called the Big Parade of the A. E. F. to the front. Anyhow, the burden of all the re viewers' comment is that they at tained essential truth and irradiated it with romance and humor. John * . Gilbert stars in the picture with Renee Adoree as the featured play er “The Big Parade” comes to the Thursday and Friday, January 25th, Abbeville Opera House Wednesday, 26th and 27th.
