The Sons Of Veterans OF Austin take
great pleasure In announcing they have
secured the services of the Chapman
Pleasure Party. to produce their great
triple bill "Regenla." Rehearsal"
"Frolic and Fun.
The drama "Regenia" is child's story,
but 1t is one that no one is too old or too
crusty to appreciate. A pretty golden
haired child ofnlne or ten has been to
party, and comes robed in the snowy
garments Of sleep to bid papa good night.
She has been reading about burglars, and
in that midnight hour the theme again
recurs, but her sollcitude is laughingly
dispelled She is sent to bed, and papa
himself soon retires. All is dark and
still. Soon. the little golden head again
appears and Regenia makes the tour of
the room to see that all is right. Again
the hush and darkness of midnight takes
possession sof the stage, when dimly
seen figure appears in the rear, low
clinking noise and the burglar enters. He
begins to collect the silverware, when
the little snowy robed figure again
comes upon. the scene. He turns like a
flash, savage revolver in hand. Fancy
the contrast, that brutal ruffian opposed
to the slender child. and imagine the
effect of her first remark: Don't be
afraid MIR. Burglar, I won't hurt you. "
The scene which follows it would be
unfair to attempt to describe. 1t IS as
delicately drawn as anything in "Allce
in ...Wonderland" The denouement is
refreshlngly in contrast to the conyen-
tional finale.
''Regenia' is followed by a comedetta
entitled "Rehearsal' Introducing Mr..
Gardener and Mrs. Chapman in popular
songs and dances, followed by the
Humpty Dumpty Pantomine entitled
''Frolic and Fun combining fun, wit
and music in harmonious blending 1t is
funnY-very; is calculated to make even
cynic laugh. 1t was written expressly
for Mr.. Chapman, the parts are all good
and the situations clever. Remember the
date, Jan. Is. Popular prices Is, IS, and

tho docks of all the principal cities along
the Mississippi. Missouri, Ohio, Cumber-
land nd Tonne aaoo riuars - -

the Mississippi. Missouri, Ohio. Cumber-
land and Tennessee rivers. ! !.
To the east and west Of here may be
found the alluvial lands of the great
valley Of the Tennessee. These lands
are fertile. we'll watered and admirably
adapted to diversified farming. Fruits of
nearly every variety grow in abundance,
cotton, grain, grasses, and vegetables of
all kinds. many of which..are unknown to
the tiller Of the soil in the north, such
as sweet potatoes. peanuts, etc, abound.
Near a manufacturing city like Flor
ence. the farmer is assured of good
market at profitable prices for his pro-
duce. AS SAID above the country is we'll
adapted to diversified farming, although
at present cotton is king and is the staple
product. not from necessity but from
habit does the farmer raise cotton. For
nearly two generations before the war
and up to the present time these farms
have been planted in Gotten. With the
rapid growth of this city. there IS no ex.
cuse for the farmers living within a
radius of ten miles of this market for
not divcrsifying his products.
During my short stay here my observa-
tion leads me to believe and suggest that
there are some fine openings here for
wide awake. energetic men. For in
stance milk $50 called) is selling for 10
cents per quart. A number of vegetables
crops may be raised on the same ground
in year. With this brief outline I will
leave the subject to the reader who may
be practical in these branches. to draw
his own conclusion.
The people are hospitable and kind.
Northern people will meet with no
jealousy nor indlgnities. The animosl-
ties of the war are all buried and are
fast being forgotten; very little of politics
is ever mentioned, and no man is ostra-
clsed because of his political sentiments.
Law and order reigh supreme. City
election was held here few weeks ago,
and at that time, there were capitalists
here from Philadelphia, Boston and
Dayton Ohio with their three special
cars side tracked at the depot, and many
of them did not even know there was
an election being held.
Within the last two years there has
been located in Florence over fifty
different enterprises, with an aggregate
of at least $14, 500, 900 and q large number
are under negotiations to locate here in
the near future. Possibly the reader may
think I am enthusiastic in my views OF
Florence. Admitting this, will say, in
giving yous this pen picture Of this beauti:
ful city, its advantageous location and
surrounding natural resources. have
endeavored not to misrepresent any thing.
Her progress has been rapid. but it stands
on firm foundation. Property has ad'
vanced in value, but upon q true and
substantial basis of actualities, she
has successfully sought, by diver
sity of Industries in wood, iron and
cotton, to make herself independent
In conclusion will say, it IS the universal
expression of nearly all who have seer
the place. that it is destined to become
the largest manufacturing city in the
south. Respectfully.

TWO BRUTAL CRIMES.

A Massachusetts Woman Murdered

Found I'm Now Jersey.
MAIDEN, Mass. Sept. 26.-The news of a
brutal and probably murderous assault has
just come to light in this city. Sunday
evening, September IA, Mrs. Sherman E.
White, while wheeling baby carriage on
Broadway near the Holy Cross college,
was seized by some person unknown, but
who is supposed to have been tramp,
who hit her several times in the bowels.
She returned home much frightened, but
did not report the affair until this week
when she was taken ill. DR.. Garfield was
called, and her case becoming serious he
held consultations with Drs. Perkins and
Sullivan, and they are fearful that she
will die. The affair has been kept very
quiet and has just come to light. The
tramp is still at large.
CAMDEN, N. j., Sept. 20.-A horrible
crime, resembling in its details the murder
| one yeariago of Annie Leconey, was brought
to light late this afternoon by the finding

What q United States 0mcer Says-
Five Thousand Ready to Go on tho
Warpath.
PrrrsBuRe, Sept. 28.-Captain Trimble.
don of the Seventh United States cavalry,
commandant at Fort Sill, passed through
Pittsburg yesterday. He says the greatest
Indian uprising of recent times is certain
to come soon.. The Indians, he says. have
got the idea that the great medicine man is
coming to wipe out the whites and restore
them to the ownership of the country.
The result is that they have entered with
the fervor of fanaticism upon a series of
nominations and religious orgies. The five
thousand Indians about Fort Sill have re-
nounced Christianity and he is certain that
in short time someone will pretend to be
the great medicine man and trouble viii
begin. He thinks all the United States
garrisons should be doubled.

Sept. 26-Mrs. Harry Munford for several
months past has been under the care of DIR. w.
B. Hallock of Cromwell; where she was treated
for mental arrangement. She has now returned
home In q much better condition and her com
plete recovery is soon expected.
The High school grounds and approaches have
long been in a shabby and neglected condition
that is a constant reproch and disgrace to the
town, The Phoenix of the 25th inst. devotes a
drastic editorial to the subject and says among
other things: San effort should be made to Sc.
cure some kind of a lawn and at least an attempt
at decoration with trees and shurbs should Be
made. This should be done without fur
Their delay this fall. Furthermore the means
of access to the grounds is simply abominable
and language is scarcely strong enough to con-
denim the lazy public sentiment that allows il to
continue The borough officers should at once
order the establishment of a grade on the north
side of Academy street at least and curb and
concrete walk. The fact that several genera
tons in the past have had highway little better
than COW path by which to ascend to the seat
OF learning Is no argument for its continuance.

THE SLAVE TRADE.

Germany's Contradictory Position In
Africa.
LONDON, Sept. 26.-The Times's Zanzi-
bar correspondent says:
3Denial of the death of Queen Anne
would be equally profitable with Ger
many's denial of the slavery proclamation.
1t is impossible to deal thus with matte,
well within the cognizance of two COM
munities like Bagamoyo and Zanzibar.
The only question is how to apportion re-
sponsibility for a course of action un-
sanctioned by Germany or her consul.
Last Tuesday an Arab was publicly hanged
in Bagamoyo for slave dealing. The Arab
mind is considerably perplexed over the
action Germany has now adopted, which
cannot fail to clear the situation"
