THE GERMANS At HOME

Harper's Theatre.

Otherwise ''rhe GiIhooIey's Abrosd' AT
Harper's Theatre.
The Germans have slipped away
from none of their characteristic
ways Of entertaining. Original in
everything, each turn is artisticallv
presented-in that easy going droll
manner which is distinctly their
own, and in 1.-The Gilhooley S
Abroad" the Germans have a show
designed after their own tastes, one
which they felt would be a relief to
the public from the stereotyped run
of attractions. 1t is only necessary
to refer to the success which has al
tended their ventures from min.
strelsy to the farce comedy field to
prove that they have succeeded in
pleasing the lovers of originality and
art immensely. A small audience
witnessed Saturday evenings show
at Harper's theatre. But this did
not discourage the Gormaps. how
ever, or induce them to cut their
entertainment short. That is not
their way OF doing business. That is
not how they have won their way
into the hearts Of the theatre-going
people.

structed foe laughing purposes only.

n1onroe Doctrine Defined.

Bob Burdette gives the best deiini-
tion of the Monroe doctrine as follows:
~The Monroe doctrine simply and
explicitly declares that no foreign ma
tion shall come over here and slide
down our cellar door; that England
and France shall not hang ON our front
c,ste 10 do their counting; that they
can't bring over their own syrup pots
and elder spouts and make syrup in
our maple grove; that Germany and
Austria can't spot no bee tree in our
woods; that Italy can't cut her wood
out of our hedgerows: that Russia
can't spank her neighbor's children
with our butter paddle. The Monroe
doctrine simply means that We are the
bull of the woods between two oceans
and that the man who joins farms with
us on either side had better not move
the boundary fence until he talks to
us about it, and that he can't sub-let
patch of his farm to anybody until we
are satisfied that the new tenant will
make good neighbor for US. That's

This event was the closing exercises OF

An ample dinner was served by the la

WIS remarkable Tor the splendid quality
as well as abundant quantity.
After dinner all engaged IN pleasant
conversation until 1.su p. m. when they

The house was crowded by pupils and
visitors there being nearly eighty pres
eut in all. Guests were present from
Granada and elsewhere. all being hearth
ly welcomed. and treated with the kind
manly courtesy of which Mr. Barnes is
noted.
The program was lengthy and the per
formers without an exception did credit
70 themselves and all concerned in such
a manner that every guest OF even orii-
nary intelligence could not but be i'm
pressed with the masterly way in which
the exercises were conducted.
The pupils were assisted ia the pro-
gran by the citizens OF the vicinity and
by the Misses Groosns and Chnttillon Of

Christmas Tree for the Sunday Schools
Pleasant Social Events.
SAssER, Dec. a. Christmas is nearly
here and we are expecting fine Christ
mas tree and visit from Santa Claus.
Musical entertainments are ali the 90
here now. One or the finest in the annals
of Sasser's history occurred at the resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. G. w. Warner
last Tuesday night. The instruments
used were the violin, organ, bapio and
bones. After all had played themselves
down, Miss Emma Warner stepped to the
parlor door and invited the large lcrowd
out to the spacious dining hall, where
the table Was ladened with cakes, wines.
cOnfectiOneries and fruits. The next
musical will occur at Mr.. and Mrs. J. C.
Joiner's tomorrow night, and all expect
big time.
The writer had the pleasure of attend
ing the debate at Jones Station last Sat
urday night. The subject discussed
was, "Resolved, That Europe is the
Mother of America" Prot. l.. a. Giles
so ably defended the affirmative that he
was pronounced victor by an intelligent
jury. In connection with these debates
we are glad to see the interest being
manifested that insures success. The
history classes of both Sasser and Jones
Station are thoroughly aroused and
good is seen coming. These debates
will hold up till after the holidays, when
they will be revived, we hope, at every
school district.
The school here will close for this
year on next Friday with arousing, up.
to-date examination. The community
will have the ! assure of seeing the ex-
animation in history conducted by the
'lmpersonatiOni method" and it prom
ises to be something new and interest
ing. From On educational view thew
will also see pupils walking who never
crawled a step in their lives.
Our teacher has been somewhat under
the weather for a few days, but not SO
much so as to quit his school or fail to
meet the Jones Station teacher in Joint
debate.
Besides our literary school, we are
glad to say that we have fine Sunday
school, too, and its membership is now
fifty-four.
