Divorced,

A somewhat better crowd gathered
at the Opera House last pight to wit
ness the Hunuey's Divorced or False
and True.n The favorable impression
created by their first nights perform
ance was not dispelled, but, on the
contrary, was much increased. 'Di-
voreed' is a powerful, sensational
drama, replete with stirring incidents,
Grammatical elimaxes and opportunities
for fine acting, all of which chances
were seized upon by the actors.
Mr.. Huntley as Frank Faraday was
up to his usual high mark. His acting
is free from mannerisms, is quiet, but
powerful. Miss Kennedy as Helen
Faraday, barring little over-1eaching
of her part, was success. Mr.. Jno.
w. Burton, the comedian Of the COM
pany, kept the audience in one con-
tinual roar Of laughter, the whole time
he was on the stage. Prof. Layton
won new laurels with his cornet.
We have heard it frequently
remarkable that since Annie Berger's
last appearance, Knoxville has not
been treated to such fine exhibition
of cornet playing.
Tonight the world renowned Rip
Van Winkle," or the I" Sleep O. Twen.
ty Years," will be reproduced. Mr.
Huntley has wen golden opinions
everywhere he has appeared as the
genial, merry, vagabondish Rip. The
piece will be cast TO tt e whole extent
of the company. The version used is
the one played b7 the great Joe Jeffer-
son. A good house will greet them.

No Close Northern States.

Special to Cincinnati Commercial
WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-There is
a good deal of amusement here at
the expense of ex>Senators Poole,
of. North Carolina, and Fowler, of
Tennessee. These gentlemen are
so incensed at alleged ill-treatment
Of Southern Republicans by the
Republican Administration that
they proposed to stump close North
ern States for the Democratic party
unless Southern Republicans were
accorded: more recognition. Since the
Waterloo defeat Of the Democrats
in Ohio, it is said that Pool and
Fowlur will not be able to find a
single close State in the North in
which to do their stumping.

reports that great destitution pre-
walls there. The sending of pro-

necessaries of life. Two nurses
carried along were left behind to
care for the afflicted. The Pierce
left Concordia Monday morning.
Up to noon four cases of yellow
fever have been reported Henry
j. Ensil, J. D. Conway, Annie

The worst conditions of the fever

Charles Kyle. colored man, living
a few miles from town, was found, last
Saturday, up in tree, dead. He had
his gun with him, and had. evidently,
been climbing the tree with it. when,
in some way, the gun was, accidently,
discharged, the ball entering under the
chin, and ranging upward through the
head. This is another fatal result of
the careless handling of loaded gup.

Report Of Road Commissioner for
Ward Fsue.
beg leave to report that l have
carefully reviewed all the roads
within my jurisdiction, and find that
but few overseers have expended
any labor on their roads; the passa-
BILE condition of roads and pressing
need of labor on the farms being
their excuse. l found all the roads
in passabIe condition, though all
of them could be greatly improved
by judicious working. The road
from old Concord Church to Ora
hams crossing Oh Bodceau, is too
long for the number of hands with.
in bounds. There being no bridge
across Caney on that road and no
persons living between Caney and
Bodceau, respectfully recommend
that the Overseer be instructed to
work only as far as the old Clarke
place. The two bridges across Caney
bayou, known as Ellison and Adger
bridges, are both impassable. The
Ellison bridge, infer, will be fixed
by road Overseers. The Adger bridge
will require considerable repairs
probably to be built anew.
