Denman Thorn pson's famous play will
be seen at the Academy of Music next
Thursday night, February Is. The com
pAny ia tho same as when seen here last
year, but tho presentation will have the
advantage Of new scenic effects. The
wholesome qualities of the piece are
well'known TO our patrons, who have al
ways besto we'd upon it a patronage that
few other dramat works enjoy so
steadily. The piece has the advantage
of being without an imitstor, so during
the seasons mixed list of amusenents 1t
can always be considered as something
new. 1t is we'll worth hearing, is one
OF the very few plays that does not
forbid repetition, and is so we'll known
taat almost the nero announcement of
its coming is sufficient, yet Diminishing
1T without some attempt at u welcome
seems like slight to dear friend re-
turning after long absence. All who
enjoyed it when here last season were
charmed by tho absorbing interest Of
the play, the even balance of the com
pany, the fidelity to the minor parts
and the perfect counterfeit Of reality
that led to forgetfulness OF all but the
mimic life on the stage, to forgetting
that it was but acting. Go and take
home little of its sunsine.

preaching engine and the ringing of tho
bell, just as Old Tom rescues his friend,

the fourth act an unusual diversion is
brought about by the scene in Elysium

Graded School Closing Exercises.

You just ought to have been there.
We can't tell i to you as it was. The
Opera House had crowd to witness
the closing entertainment of this pop
ular school of which the people of Mt.
Sterling are proud. They were high
ly entertained. The children, every
one of them, knew their part, and rem
dered them far better than we have
seen professionals on the stage.
Stage work was not the part the
teachers wished to make most prom
inent, and vet this came to them nat
urally. Their training from kindergar-
ten up to the highest grade was fault
less, and the teachers deserved the
many congratulations which they re-
ceived.

CHILDREN's DAY
The Christian Sunday School
Observe 1t In a Delight
full Way.

Children's Day was observed by the
members of the Christian Sunday
School on Sunday. The "chief wom-
ell not few" had taken the matter in
hand and prepared for the pleasure of
the School a beautiful program. This
was carried out at the Sunday school
nour and SO large number of visitors
came in, to enjoy the exercises, with
the children that it was deemed well
to repeat them at night, so the
pastor gave way and the "chief wom-
en-" with their beautiful little ones
took possession of the audience room :.
The crowd that came to meet
them could not be accommodated with
seats, and much to the regret of those
in charge, many had to be turned
away. The contribution for Missions
at the morning service was liberal and
was supplemented by quite neat sum
in the evening. The songs were beau
tiful, the recitations in good taste and
the pastors talk delightful one, 30
that those who came were amply re-
paid.

Attention Candidates.

AT a meeting of the Montgomery
County Democratic Committee held
on Saturday last, the following order
was made: Candidates will notice
that this order does not effect the
standing of those who have become of
age since last registration day, but
that they will have to look out for
those voters who have only lately at
tanned their majority.
Whereas the regular Election Law
provides for a registration of voters in
cities of the fourth class, but it APP
pearing that the Primary Election
Law does not provide any means of
registration OF such persons as become
Qualified voters in such cities after
the regular registration day to enable
voters to register and vote in the Pri-
mary election, or for transfers of such
as may remove from one precinct to
another; therefore be it
Resolved, That the officers of the
Primary election to be held in this
county on June l4th, in tie city of Mt.
Sterling, KY, shall permit all known
Democrats who have become qualified
voters in any precinct in the city of
Mt. Sterling since the last November
election, and such Democrats as may
have been qualified voters then and
registered as such but have removed
from one precinct to another and shall
possess all the other qualifications of a
voter, TO be specially registered and
vote at said Primary election.
