JOE JEFFERSON As RIP
All Records Broken at English's OPP
era House Last Night.

All records at English's Opera House were
broken last night by Joseph Jefferson in
RIP Van Wrinkle" The house was sold out
before the doors opened and those who wait
ed to purchase tickets had to be satisfied
with standing room or go back home. There
were nearly enough people turned away to
fill an ordinary theater. Instead of Joseph
Jefferson's star being dimmed with advanc-
ing years, 1T seems to be growing brighter.
Mr. Jefferson is surrounded with one of the
best companies ever in his support and he
is playing old rip as he has not played
it in years. There is ali the fine. character
coloring the master artist is capable of CIV
ing, and the art itself, like old wine, is
apparently growing better as it grows oiCer.
Mr.. Jefferson was never greeted in Indian
apolis by a greater audience and it brought
him before the curtain after the first act
in happy frame of mind that resulted in
little curtain talk, as delightful in itsway as
his famous impersonation in the title role.
Mr.. Jefferson took occasion to say word
for the benefit of the gossips who circulate
stories OF the great actors alleged retire
ment from the stage. He gave his word that
he would never quit the footlights until
the people ceased to fill the chairs in the
auditorium. He gave evidence throughout
the evening that he is the same young and
promising actor about whom so much has
been written. How any one could gain the
impression that there is younger
Joseph Jefferson, or any other Joseph
Jefferson at ALL is not under
stood, yet there was SuSch a rumor
around town yesterday. People kept the
opera house telephone ringing all morning
with inquiries, and others called at the box
office and staggered the man behind the
window with absurd questions about the
young" Joseph Jefferson who was to play
Rip last night; Many apparently inteln-
for their families, demanded the return of
their money after hearing the silly rumor.
The man in the box office became SO wor--
ried at the practical joke that he printed
on q card in tall letters and stuck it out
side his window, so that all might read:

Mr.. Allen Smith, who lives about
three miles south Of Brookhaven,
was in town Saturday and stated that
on last Thursday night, COW belong
ing to him gave birth to calf that ap-
peared more human than bovine. 1t
was without hair, the clean skin being
of yellowish color, had the head and
face of human infant, the body, legs
and all being of human shape, the only
resemblance to a real calf being its clo-
ven hoofs and very short little tail.
It's weight was supposed to be about %
or 30 pounds.
The monstrosity was dead when first
discovered by Mr.. Smith in woods
pasture where its mother had given it
birth. 1t was examined closely bv him
and Mrs. Smith and by Warren Magee
a neighbor, who confirm his statement
With no little difficulty the COW
was driven away from her strange
dead offspring and carried home
to be MIXED. Before Mr.. Smith
fully realized what won
derful curiosity he had and that
there might be millions in it," if pre-
served and exhibited, it was found by
some prowling dogs and devoured.
Mr.. Smith says the COW is an unusal
ly fine one Of the piney woods stock
is "a muley" and perfectly white, ex
cept red head and neck. She has
had two calves before, about which
there was nothing peculiar, this one in
human shape being her third.

Hoover took the negative side Of the
question. The subject was then opened
for general debate, which proceeded in
a spirited manner, much to the enter
tainment of the appreciative audience
assembled. In the eyes 1.-THE mental
vision of the judges the champions OF
the affirmative came off the victors
but the negatives, as we'll, won a last
ing reputation that may yet lead them
forth to some "oratoric contest" In

mighty sweep of intellect and play OF
power acquired may disdainfully smile
alike upon school-day triumphs and
school girl failures. Miss Fannie Ken

try, TITS of Thee" appropriately closed

Sundays Runaway.

Just as Mr.. and Mrs. John B. Nalty
were returning from the cemetery last
Sunday evening in their phaton, the
horse became frightened and began to
plunge and kick. Mr.. Nalty was
thrown violently to the ground and his
right thigh and hip very seriously and
painfully bruised. A little further on
the phaton was upset and broken, the
horse tearing loose from it, and Mrs.
Nalty, who had remained in the vehi-
Gle escaped from the wreckage with a
painful cash and confusion on the
forehead. Friends soon reached them
and carried them home, where their
hurts received prompt attention from

After the horse broke loose from the
phaton, she badly snagged her breast
by running into fence and had to be
turned over to Veterinary Surgeon

DIR. A. L. Thompson died at his
home In Bogue Chitto last Friday
after brief illness, of four
days. A few weeks ago he had an at
tack OF the grippe from which he had
recovered. Monday night
he was taken with something like bill
ious collie, followed by extreme nausea
and partial paralysis, from which he
never rallied, gradually sinking until
relieved by death about 6 o'clock Fri
day morning.
In the death of DR.. Thompson the
community loses trustworthy physi-
clan and good citizen whose place will
not be easily filed. Indeed, so promi-
nent and useful had DR.. Thompson
been there for years past in all that
made for the best interests of
that community, Bogue Chitto will
hereafter scarcely seem itself without
him. Besides being the loved physi
clan of so many, he has been a moral
and religious leader among his people
of power and influence. The writer
will ever remember to his honor the
brave stand he took and the power he
welded for the cause of right in the
most momentous moral contest evel
experienced in Lincoln county. The
funeral was conducted by Rev. b. F

of our farmers did not finish planting
oats till the first of this week
DR.. Robertson was called to the bed
side Of Mr.. William Gunnells near

Bro. Douglass filed his appointment
last Saturday and Sunday. After a
short and instructive sermon Satur-
day the church convened in confer
ence and. excluded a member on a
charge of non attendance, and it was
suggested that the work be carried on,
as some of our members fail to show
up only during protracted meeting or
when there is to be a church trial. The
text on Sunday was from the Sd chap
ter of John. The. sermon was fine and
was listened to with much interest.
Some of our thoughtless boys are
kicking because correspondent said
there was bad behavior at church.
Boys, remember the dog that's hit Is

known unless you keep bowling.
