he's been working for a large business
house in one OF the western cities. Several
weeks ago he wrote r c. Tuck, a relative
living At Pope station, on the Georgia
railroad. that he would come 10 Georgia
and nav him : visit Mr.. Tuck replied
ana urged him 10 come. Nr. Gresham
didn't come for several weeks. although
he was expected all the while Last
Wednesday night a stranger was on the
-ceorgis railroad train and asked the con-
-duetor to stop at Pope station, where he
wanted 70 get of The train stopped and
the stranger alighted and that was the
last time he was seen. The next day
Mr.. Tuck, who lives about a mile from
Pope station, was surprised to find on his
front porch a valise. He opened it and
found that the valise was evidently the
property OF a man who had taken long
journey. There were several articles Of
soiled clothing, and at the bottom Of the
vaIise was photograph Of Willie Thomas
Gresham. Mr. Tuck at first thought Mr..
Gresham had hid away to surprise the
folks at home but as the hours passed
By and Mr.. Gresham didn't make his APP
pearance Mr.. Tuck went all over the
neighborhood In search Of his relative,
but didn't ind him. The mystery dark
sned as the hours passed. While examin-
ing the valise found on the porch. 1t was
identified by the conductor as the valise
belonging to the stranger, who got on
the train Wednesday night The de-
scription Of the stranger as given by the
conductor tallies with that of Mr.. Ores
ham, and as three days have passed
without any discovery. the belief is strong
IN the minds of all that foul play Is the
correct solution Of the mystery. IT IS
believed that the man has been murdered
and his body buried i'm the earth and COW

THE SAVANNAH VOLUNTEER
GUARDS FAIR.
To the Public.
The very severe weather prevail
ing for the past fortnight has seri-
OusIy interfered with the attend
ance at the Savannah Volunteer
Guards Fair, and, of course, has
tended to decrease the receipts.
The Executive Committee has every
assurance of good will and inten-
iOn to patrOnize on the part of the
people of Savannah, but recognizes
that the weather has deferred citi-
xens from attending.
The Fair, therefore, will go over
into next week. There are many
valuable and attractive articles to
be disposed of, and other subscrip-
lions are coming in.
The object is to raise money with
which to pay debts, and we appeal
to the public to aid us.

MIS- Carfern expressed the opinion that
those great plays that embodied the
highest expression of dramatic art, as for
instance. those Of Shakespeare, only lost
their hold Upon ethe appreciation and the
dollars OF the American public when they
were presented by inferior talent. Edwin
Booth never lacked for crowded houses,
and the success of Irving and Terry, IN
this country was but another prnof of
the fact that the people of this country
are never slow to recognize true worth in
the dramatic world. At the same time it
was impossible to disguise the fact that
the American love of amusement, had
given comedy and vaudeville an undue
prominence, and had unquestionably
drawn to those lines Of work. lions

time. Actors and actresses did not differ
much from other people They were very
liable to engage in those lines of effort
that would meet with the greatest popu-
lar favor, and.s consequently, pay them
the most money. There could be no dis
gulslng the fact that the hest and most
promising young dramatic talent in this
country today were employed in comedy
parts.
exceptional talent in other lines would
always meet with cordial reception from
the American public; but the fact re-
manned that at the present time about all
OF it has to be imported. In comedy
America leads the world.
