Our people are feeling rather easy over
the prospective lockout among the mills.
| At first il was thought that strike was In
eyitable, but the situation now looks differ
ent. 1t is said, and what is believed to be
excellent authority, that the Standard Mill
Company will sign the IS rs scale and keep
on running, without losing an hour, pro-
yidiug the Whitaker mill does the same
as has been stated they would do Martins
! Ferry depends largely on the mills. ihose
| here are and have been doing well, and 1t
is hoped the trouble will be settled with
| out strike.

ST. GAINESVILLE.
A very fair audience greeted the home
amateur dramatic club at Weekdays Hall on
Friday evening, aud they made decided
hit in "Louva, the Pauper." Miss Nellie
Sedwick in the leading role OF Louva, SHOW
ed that she had an excellent idea OF the
part, and her portrayal of the poor, down.
trodden orphan was very good. Her acting
and speaking gave evidence of considerable
dramatic ability. The part Of the old lady
| by Miss Lizzie Mcbride was also very good.
Her harsh, grating voice when addressing
| the poor bound girl almost made us forget
that she was one Of our most pleasant
young ladies-when eff the stage. Miss
Maggie Anderson as the rich young lady
showed considerable taste in her style OF
acting. Miss Annie White. as the colored
auntie, made her part one OF the leading
ones Of the play by her excellent rendi-
ton, and she was heartily applauded. In
the afterpiece Miss Ella West, as the deaf
Mrs. Jonas Jones'" was just too funny. She
made beautiful bride. OF the young
men, Mr.. John Grassland, rs the Colored
| comedian, and James Singer as the Yankee
| notion peddler who was always in for
| trade, 10 matter how serious were sur
| rounding circumstances, did remarkably
well, and frequently brought down the
house. John Pennington, as Bub, was an
original character, and was well performed.
Rufus 7. Rose, as Sol. Craft, the senior vii.
lain, and Henry Carroll, the fastidious
young villain, Dick Langley, were
| thoroughly despised by the audience,
which is highly complimentary 10 their
manner of carrying out their parts. Sher.
man Doyle, as Will Spriggs, the goody good
young man, lover OF Iowa, and Albert
Ferren, as Col. Farnham, showed dramatic
ability. The play took so well with the
| audience that il was decided to repeat it
on Saturday evening for the benefit OF the
| band. Considerable money was net.ed for
the school library.
