WHY THEY SOLD.

George A. Wilkins, Secretary of the Alabama Telephone and Construc- ton Co.,, in conversation with a re- porter of the Journal this morning said in answer to a question as to why the company abandoned the telephone business in Selma, the sim ple reason was that the exchange was not paying expenses and there was no prospect of it's doing so at the prices charged. It appeared to be impossible. with the instruments used, principally the Harrison, to give satisfactory service or service that would bear comparison with the Bell. This was constant source of complaint and annoyance. It IS all well enough to talk about home institutions and local influence, but the investors want and expect to re- ceive sorse return on their invest ment, and the people, the patrons of the telephone exchange, want, de mand and must have good service
 The prices charged and the instru- ments used by our company would
 bring neither, and this is why we abandoned the field. Selma Journal, April le, 1896. ld2t

TIE SPOONERS, CLOSE A WEEKS ENGAGE. MENT TO 4 LARGE
 AUDIENCE. NIT. 0leson held the Lucky Num- Der that Drew the Prize
 Last Night.
Mr.oleson held the Lucky Mum.

The Spooner Dramatic Company closed weeks engagement at the Opera-house last night to only fair business. Yesterday afternoon the company presented Little Lord Fauntleroy" as a matinee to fair sized audience, and last night Uncle John Witeomb" was presented to the largest audience during their engagement. The truth of the business is that the people of Pine Bluff did not awaken to a realization of the fact until the last minute, in spite of the efforts of the daily local press to convince the public of the fact that they could really enjoy a first class show at popular prices b, , S B cents. The Spoener Com panY, we believe. is the best company on the road this season playing at popular prices. Little Allie Spooner is a bright and cherry littlesoubrette who never fails to charm and please her audience. Considering that she is only fourteen years old, her talents are extraordinary. and she gives brilliant promise for the future. Mir. r. E. Spooneer, her father, is a comedian of great versatility and soon wins his way into popular favor.
 Last night in Uncle Josh Whit comb Mr. Spooner appeared at his best and kept his audience ill a rollieking good humor and con- stant uproar of laughter through out the entire performance. The dancing of Miss Allie Speeaer was also pleasing and delighted the au- dienee. Mir. J. H. Lewis, as "Unele Silas," was also good, as, indeed, was the entire company Ii Uncle Josh" had been presented earlier in the week, we believe there would have been much larger audiences. It was the hit of the engagement and all who witnessed 1t were delighted
 At the conclusion of the perform ance the drawing for the gold watch took place, Messrs. Will Riley, C. G. Harris and J E. Ryan, were selected as judges. All of tie numbers were then put into q hat, shuffied up and number drawn by a little girl blindfolded. The lucky number proved to be 545. and was held by Mir. Oleson, in the employ of the Bluff City Lumber Co.,, and the watch turned over to him. There was much subdued excitment during the drawing and the result was re- ceived with applause.
 The Spooners carry their own seen cry have good costumes and make up and altogether give very elegant performance. The leave today for Fort Smith, where they play a week engagement, and We heartily commend the company to the theater goers of that town.
