Janauschek as Meg Nerrilies.

A large, fashionable and apprecia-
tive audience assembled at this popular
theatre last night to welcome Madame
Janauschek's re-entrance upon our
local stage.
The play was Guy Mannering" and
the character Meg Merrilies," that in
which Charlotte Cushman achieved
her most conspicuous triumphs. The
drama itself, justly described as roman
tic and picturesque, has in it stronger
elements than these, chief of which is
the mystery with which Sir Walter
Scott invested the character of the old
Gypsy. 1t was in the presentation Of
this part of the personality Of Meg
c,.errilies" that Miss Cushman was so
pre-eminently successful; she infused
into the character finer, rarer, more
subtle spirit of weirdness and, at times,
grandeur than its creator, the great
Wizard of the North, either schemed
or knew.
The Meg Merrilies" Of Miss Cush-
man was, and that of Madame Janau-
schek is, something more than wo-
man. The former of these two great
artists of tragedy did, and the latter
does, inform the body of the Gypsy
Queen with spirit of mysterious pow
er that sets her all apart in the imagi-
nation of the spectators of the play as a
being of another and stranger world
than this we daily live and work in.
In Balfe's Opera, a good deal of the
music of which is retained in the
drama as presented by Madame Janau-
schek's admirable company, who can
sing as we'll as act, the general atten-
ton was centered upon Lucy and
Henry, but it is doubtful that if to-day
the great tenor, Brahan, were to play
and sing "Bertram," as once he did,
and Madame .Janausct":< were to play
Meg" that he would have any chance
for recognition while upon the stage
with her, so absorbing in her portrayal
of this character in which so many
phases of passion and emotion have
part.-Philadelphia Ledger and Trans
cript.

Helena HeraIdings.

Mr.. J. F. kilgore is at home on a
months vacation from Washington.
Mrs. John Lawson, of Greenvile, was
on a brief visit last week, to Captain
Pitts family.
Mr.. W. F.Wright, Of Laurens County,
spent day or two with relatives the
early part of the week.
Mrs. Caroline Summer and Mr.. and
Mrs. Ben. Pennington were on visit
last week to Mr.. H. G. Summers.
The principal and assistant teacher
of the Helena Academy have resigned.
Mr.. kibler, the late principal, will
continue in charge Of the school until
teachers are elected.
We stated last week that a request
would be made to the management of
the G.. & G. R. r. to favor the people
with street-car rates between Helena
and Newberry. We do not doubt that
the officers will magnanimously conde,
scend to this courteous action.
We would refer, briefly as possible,
to recent occurrences at large, that are
| of local concern to every section of our
common country. In addition to the
desecration Of the Sabbath day by Sun.
day excursions, Sunday papers, games
of base ball, ETC., we see it stated that
the Ohio Centennial was opened on the
Sabbath day. We are descending to a
low state Of morals, certainly, and un-
less We awake from our apathy to re.
alization of the line of duty before us,
we may find our continent incontinent
Of evil and plunging madly into the
vortices of the earlier republics. The
Omnipotent voices heard from time to
time must be needed. How was the
cutting off of the peoples bread by
last years drouth and this years flood
! and early frost treated in the NewYork
EProduce Exchange? Why a very pam
demonium ensued. The most heartless
greed was manifest, when wild and
reckless bidding ran the price of wheat
to 50 per bushel, and flour to an inflated
price. Dunn & Co., reported the short.
age of wheat at 90,0OO,C00 bushels.

A Prosperous Bank.

The firm of Wheeler & Moseley at
Prosperity is one among the most sue
cessful business firms in the up country.
At the beginning of the present
year they made an experiment of es-
tablishing bank at that place, some
thing that was greatly needed in that
section. The business has been sue
cessful beyond their expectations.
They never asked for a deposit nor
solicited loan. They have now quite
a list Of depositors and loaned during
the year $4,000 to $4,000. Not a single
note has gone to protest and every one
will be paid at maturity without re-
newal. In fact nearly all have already
been paid. This we take it is good
record and speaks well for the country
in which their loans were and for the

Our farmers have been husily engaged
during the past two weeks picking
Cotton gathering corn and sowing oats.
We are glad to state the corn crop has
turned out better than once expected.
However,, crops generally in this com
munity will be Il little behind last
year.
The farmers in this community have
recently organized society at the
academy under the name Of "EXcelsior

Il society will certainly be very inter

community if the farmers will stick
together and manifest the right inter
