A full house greeted the Young
Peoples Dramatic Club at their
maiden appearance on Friday eve
ming. The play, Coupon Bonds"
by j. 7. Trowbridge is one that en-
cages the spectator from the first till
the last, it having that rein of humor
so common to all of Trowbridge's
writing. All of the parts were exc
cuted in way that showed a great
amount of dramatic skill on the part
of the youthful actors and spoke
words of praise for the talent that
exists here. The farce entitled,
"The Wonderful Telephone" brought
forth an unusual amount of fun.
Mr.. Chas. Prior of Ludlow, as the
unruly darkey, won for himself
reputa ton of being one of the best
comedians that has ever appeared
in this vicinity. Between the farce
and the main play, Miss Myrtelle
Eason recited a piece that brought
forth applause and added to her rep
utation as an elocutionist. 1t is sim
cerely hoped that they will again try
their hand at acting. ..
A New Hotel.
A short time ago gentleman from
Boston proposed to purchase the hotel
here and build in its place a fine
building suitable for a place much
larger. During the past few days
this has been the principal theme for
conversation and from what informa-
ton your correspondent can gain
everyone seems heartily in accord
with the idea and are sure to give it
a helping hand if it becomes necessa-
ry. Whether this scheme will be
pushed or not cannot be forseen, but
if the people wish to further their
own interest and build up around
themselves market for the products
of our farms and an employment for
our laborers, they will lose no time
in securing every interest that will
help to attain the end that has been
gained by other communities-that of
a rich and prosperous man ufacturing
centre.
