''On the SuWanee River" was pre-
scented for the second time at the Grand
Opera House last night, and the merit
of the attraction was sufficient to in
duce another large audience to attend,
In spite of the Indictment weather. 1t
is distinctively southern comedy
drama, with all the scenes laid along
the banks of the Florida stream made
famous by the song with which every
body is familiar. There is about it the
indescribable flavor of the southland
which is SO charming to play-goers in
the north-tropical scenes, the OdOr of
magnolias and orange blossoms, and
the half INDECENT drawl in speech,
which typifes residents of that Sec
ton. The play is splendidly cast, and
the dialogue and situations are clean
and wholesome. There should be a
large audience of ladies at the matinee
performance. The enga cement closes
tonight.
Du Souchets latest farce, ga Misfit
Marriage" will be presented at the
Opera House tonight, and it goes
without saying that it will be greeted
by a very large audience. Of recent
production the Washington Post says:
Another first night at the Column
bia served to introduce to the public
Smyth & Rice's comedians in new
farce from the pen that produced 'My
Friend From India The Man From
Mexico" etc. The title of Du Souch-
cts latest, "a Misft Marriage" is de-
scriptive of the theme, but not inclu-
sive of the subsequent complications.
The spectacle of a mans marrying
his prospective mother In-law by acct
dent is certainly a novel variation of
the familiar theme, but there are 9TH
ers, and the combined result was a
highly amused audience, a couple of
happy managers, and we'll pleased
company. Like Du SOCKETS other
farces, GA Misfit Marriage" possesses
a much-complicated plot. One enjoys
it without attempting to argue it out,
the numerous amusing situations suf-
flee to evoke laughter, and one does
not care to delve into the intricacies
of the story
Gettysburg" a pretty play of love
and war from the pen of Frank G.
Campbell, has met with unqualified
success, it's realistic battlefield and
patriotic tableaux arousing the wild
est enthusiasm. There are five acts
through which is interviewer a pretty
love story, much comedy and number
of stirring patriotic scenes.
1t is promised that the cast will be
exceptionally strong, and that the play
will be given with the same elaborate
scenic equipment which won for the
production the unqualified endorsement
of the New York press. Gettysburg
will open a half weeks engagement at
the Grand Opera House Thursday
night.

Rev. j. p. Davis delivered the address
which was full of patriotic sentiment
and which received much and well de
served commentator.
The program for Memorial day was
carried out as advertised in the North
erner. At ten o'clock, to the stirring
strains of martial music rendered Bull
lard and Cummings del and Billy on the
same fife and drum they carried through
the civil war, Ed. Billiard of the S. O.V.
bass drummer, the "boys" marched to
Prospect Hill where, in the presence OF
large concourse of citizens, the impressive
ceremonies of the grand army were
given at the grave of Comrade Gen. Chas
L. Eaton. After this the graves of the
deceased soldiers were decorated with a
profusion of beautiful flowers and the
old vets returned to their post room.
At two o'clock in the afternoon they
reassembled and led by the band, march
ed to the church of Christ, where the
exercises were held. A large concourse
of people followed them, many more
than were able to obtain entrance to
the church.
The exercises were opened with mar
tial music, followed by a patriotic song
rendered by Comrade Rood and wife and
Comrades Foote and Warner.
An appropriate song was sung by the
pupils from Miss Cooley's department
and a beautiful exercise representing
the strewing of flowers on the grave of a
departed soldier was given by the
scholars of Mrs. Tracy's room. Fine
recitations were also given by Misses
Viola Monroe and Rhetta Chapman.
The Grafton, delivered by Comrade
Rev. II. w. Harvey was one of the very
best ever given in Paw Paw on any
similar occasion. The speaker was fully
in sympathy with his topic and was
frequently interrupted with rounds of
applause.
At the close of the address, the entire
audience united in singing the national
anthem and thus closed one of the most
interesting, successful and profitable
celebrations of Memorial Day ever held

A Ride For Reputation.

While they were discussing the melee
in the school board the head of a big
manufacturing establishment was moved
to relate this experience:
Il was once a pedagogue myself. l
had resolved TO do something worth
while in the business world, and having
no capital except what was wrapped up
in my person taught school to get a
starter. | had some advanced students
and had to skirmish in order to keep up
with the procession. One day the whole
class was stumped by an arithmetical
problem, and so was l. In order to gain
time for myself | came the old dodge of
telling them how much better it would
be if they would work out the solution
for themselves and gave them another
day.
THAT night, behind locked doors and
closed blinds, / worked in fear and per-
spiration. From the bottom of my trunk
l took key to the arithmetic, but even
with that aid / failed to master the
problem. BY midnight was desperate.
1t would never do to let the scholars,
the parents and the whole cruel world
know that l was not equal to my posi-
ton. But it's not in my make up to sur
render while there's fighting chance.
''At the town, ten miles away, there
was loyal and highly educated friend
of mine. He would help me and say
nothing. IL was one of the bitterest
January nights ever knew. But slip
ped to the barn, appropriated a horse,
made ride more notable than many Of
those immortalized in song or history,
froze my ears and toes and had my vocal
powers reduced to whisper.
But you should have heard my whis-
pered explanation of that problem and
my regrets that none of the pupils had
mastered it. Detroit Free Press.
