near 10 years ago. and located on Middle River

good citizen, Christian and neighbor might trny

he did, and under no circumstances could he be
induced to do anything that he believed to be

Fred Wa.rde

Mr.. Frederick Warde will fulfill his engage
ment for the Opera House on next Monday
night, the FateS suspicious, III King Richard III.
Doubtless this announcement has been received
with very great warmth by the many friends
which this distinguished tragedian made upon
each of his previous visits to Staunton. TO those
who We're fortunate enough to witness Mr.
Warde's superb rendition of Virgnus and Galba,
the Gladiator, each might be Intercepted very
properly as to whether actor, whose dramatic
genius seemed so peculiarly tuned to the por-
trayal of the loftieSt emotions of tragedy, pure
and simple, could descend from this supreme
eminence to the field of comedy with any de-
gree of composure. 1t is right here, however
that Mr.. Warde puts the touchstone to his cher
ished art, in that he has 50 evenly mastered the
three realms of the drama. comedy, pathos and
tragedy, that to pass from one to the other is as
easy as for the master musician to blend the
varying melodies of the minor and major chords
or for the true poet to pass from the heroic epic
into the rhythmic roundelay. 1t is for this reason
alone that Nh. Warde was able to resurrect and
place upon the modern stage with such great
success, DEnnerys ''Mountebank,' which had
almost passed oat of sight for lack of the proper
talent to produce it. AS Richard III his
position of the role of this sardonic, passion
famed intriguer-the very force of whose tow
ering ambition lends almost a sable fascination
to his long list of otherwise hideous vices-he is
said to stand second to Booth only the TRACE
dian par excellence.
Mr.. Warde boasts entirely adequate sup
port, and the piece is eXcellently mounted.
We trust he viii not fall behind in Stauntcn
the enormous houses that have greeted his ap-
pearance every where during his present tour.
The box sheet has been opened at Mr.. DIVERS
book -store since last Saturday.

Eakle. Splitter l. Co. have rented the
spacious store room on Augusta street.
recently occupied by Cochran Il Lewis,
hardware dealers, and the ware house
in the rear. The object of this new
move is to open an exclusively wholesale
grocery establishment. The extensive
trade they have built up cannot be ac
commodated in their present quarters,
and consequently they have determined
on this wholesale movement. Their
accommodations embrace stretch of
rooms from square to square. and their
appointments will be on such an enlarged
and business-like scale, as to make
it an object with dealers to call and see
them.
Their wholesale establishment is dis
tinct from the wholesale and retail gro
Gerry and provision store now being con-
Quoted in the Stack Building. This
business will be continued, and the new
wholesale store be run as such.
We are gratified to see such manifesto
ton of business sagacity and enterprise.
1t speaks well for Staunton and our
progressive business men, The field
is before them. All they have to do is
to show the pluck and nerve to occupy
it. Eakle, Splitter & Co. have determined
to take it at its tide and move on to
success.
