Correspondence Of The Appeal
DuRANT, Miss, June 6.-The great En-
glish tragedy, Douglass" by DR.. Holmes,
was presented tonight at the City Hall by
the Durant Dramatic Company. This
play is taken from the early Scotch his
tory, when Scotland was frequently in
vaded by Danish Sea Kings and the coun'
try divided in factions the many powerful
chiefs continually making war on each
other.
AT o'clock pm. the doors were open.
The characters were as follows:
LoId Or. a. H. Gotten
anna Mrs q. T. Hamilton
1i Hugh roster
Olu H. Almon
Young g. 4. Hamilton
ID. Culley
The play is a most interesting one aud a
better selection could not have been made
for the different roles They were all
played to perfection without exception.
The large and refined audience present
was perfectly charmed. This local talent,
belonging to the best OF Durant society,
surpassed all expectations. Ii was simply
superbly acted. The writer, who was so
fortunate accidently to pass through the
town, was perfectly carried away. He
has never in his life seen anything superior.
II equal, presented by the most noted
dramatic talent. Each one seemed per-
fectly wrapped up in their role, making
each movement and expression appear
natural and suiting the character. In the
part, where Miss Hamilton, who played
the leading role as Lady Randolph, informs
young Norvall that he is her son, Lord
Douglass, and again in her last discourse
with him, when he is dying from his
wound, everybody was deeply touched,
and the applause could not have been
more sincere.
After the conclusion OF this play tho one
act farce, "Cousin Joe," was presented,
but the writer regrets that he was pre-
vented from remaining to hear it. The
characters were:
MI Artnur ....l u luley
Mrs Ardbea Tong Willie Gotten
Cousin X Almon
sunny simon
The audience was a most select one.
The house was crowded to its utmost. Not
an available seat was TO be had. Many had
TO stand up. People had come in by trains
and every which way from far off; besides
that the adjoining watering resort, Castil-
ian Springs, was largely represented. The
writer suggests that progressive town like
Durant, being fortunate enough rs to boast
OF such accomplished amateur talent,
should not delay long in erecting spacious
opera-house, capable OF seating the audi
ences such dramatic talent can command.
The music was furnished by the excellent
Canton String Band. The toilets were
excellent and the scenery appropriate.

Major Sidney Herbert, well known jour
nalist in agricultural circles writes April IL,
1889: Some five years ago | wrote letter
stating that Swifts Specific had cured me OF
severe rheumatism. Since that time have
had no return Of the rheumatic troubles, al
though frequently exposed TO the influences
that produced former attacks Several OF my
friends had similar experience, and are firm
In their conviction that s. s. S. brought
permanent cure. The searching power OF
this medicine Is shown in the fact that II de-
veloped a scrofulous faint that was conspic-
nous in my blood over thirty years ago, and
has removed the last trace Of II. / have also
tested S. S. S. as tonic after severe attack
of malarial fever, which kept me in bed for
three months, and am convinced that its
curative and strengthening properties in
sured my recovery from that illness, as was
in q very low condition of health.

Railroad Advantages.

Watertown is unusually fortunate in
the matter of railway transportation
While many other cities have but one
or two trains daily each way, we have
on the Northwestern a passenger that
leaves for the south at 1920 A. NJ. and
another at $40 P. M; passenger going
north at 40 A. NJ. and one at 2:5OP NJ,
and two accommodation ns each way,
running mornings and evenil ). On
the ST. Paul the accommodations are
unusually frst-class. Just think of it:
four trains. each way between 7 A. M.
and 10 P. NJ, manned by as gallant and
faithful crew of engineers, conductors
and train men as travel over the roads.
The engineers are stars in their line,
comprising among others the we'll
known names of Cy Washburn, James
Little and Joe Ellis. Conductors Char
ley White, M McQueeny and O. Cum
ningham all old Watertown boys punch
the tickets and look after the welfare
Of the passengers generally. General
superintendent Earling land he is first

ing in this city, and as Watertown may
be justly regarded as his alma mater, he
takes pride in the well-earned compli-
ments bestowed upon him by our citi-
zens. A. V. III. Carpenter and George
I'll. Heaford must not be lost sight of.
A frst-class passenger service must
necessarily be guided by men of large
experience, and any one who travels
over the st. Paul system will not long
hesitate in coming to the conclusion
that these men thoroughly understand
their business. 1t will not be many
years before Watertown will reap un-
usual advantages from the passenger
service of the st. Paul Chicago's busi-
ness men travel much further every
day to and from business than it is from
Milwaukee to Watertown. And there
is little doubt but that with the over
crowded condition Milwaukee will be
in few years, many of her business
men will be only too glad to take ad-
vantage of the pure air, good water, and
the cleanliness and comfort offered
them in this beautiful city only forty
miles distant.
