Last evening under the auspices of
the Gem City Guards, Miss Kittie
Rhoades gave US her charming imper-
sonation of Bul wer's Lady of Lyons,
with Mr. Fred D. Nunroe as Claude
MeInotte. Beauty and romance on the
stage and our gallant Guards in full
uniform before the footlights, formed a
combination unusually attractive. Kitty
Rhoades was well supported in her rem
dition by the full strength of the troupe,
and Prof. Thomas band discoursed ex-
cellent music.

We had a runaway yesterday on Lem
on street which demolished the fine de
livery wagon belonged to Messrs. Dew
ereux. Rogero & Son. The drivers of
vehicles on our streets are altogether too
careless, and policemen should see to it
that horses are not left free where a
slight scare might endanger both prop
erty and life. 1t would be well for our
council to give us new ordinance, or
to urge upon Mayor Donnelly the en-
forcement Of the one already on the
books,
Our bargain counter is now longer and
we are displaying many specialties which
has been impossible for us to do before,
on account of limited space.

From his duties as Business Manager
of this paper, Mr.. W. W. Randall was
summoned by telegraph few days ago
to the bedside of his mother, in Griffin,
Georgia. Since then we could only
dread the worst, because we heard moth
ing, till yesterday when we learned that
the saddest fears are realized, and that
upon the heart Of our friend has fallen
one Of those blows which change it and
harden it henceforth Into the sorrow
which envelops him we cannot venture,
and even the loving voice of friendly
sympathy cannot be heard however ten
der its tone or sincere its accent.

property. They represent some Of the
best insurance companies in the country,
and would be glad to show the public their
manner Of doing business. Give them a
call. y
On a former visit to Palatka the Kittie
Rhoades Troupe played Miss so well that
they were urged to repeat it. They viii
do so tonight, and Bret Harte's most
touching characterization viii berealized
in the acting Of Kitty Rhoades. Those
who fail to come will miss rare treat,
and the Gem City Guards again are in
terested in having their friends see the
actress who has taken so firm a hold on
the affections Of our people.
