The Langdon Dramatic Co. had much |
smaller audience on Thursday evening than
their rendering of Faust deserved. The
play was well staged and the characters of
Mephisto, Faust and Valentine were inter
preted far beyond the average of the usual

don has a company of ladies and gentlemen |
with him, and dramatic talent far above the |
average.
| The friends of the Y M. G. A. who OBJ |
jected to aid the society through the recent |
entertainment because of objections to |
"cake walks,' burlesque, &c, should not |
forget to aid the society in their own way.
The entertainment was a success, did no |
harm in anyway, and put forty dollars in |
the treasury to pay debts. At least half
that amount should come now from others. |
1t is needed. The association is doing a |
good work; encourage it by something more |
substantial than mere good wishes.
! The iron bridge at FIeming's Landing
which has not been psssable for some |
weeks paat is now rep aired and ready for |
travel. This bridge has given Commits
sioners Scott and Truax considerable trouble |
and they have done everything in their
power not only to accommodate the people |
and not inconVenience them any more than
possible, but also to save the two counties |
as much as they could as repairing bridges
4 Of this kind costs considerable money. It |
is hoped that there will be no further trou-
BILE with this bridge. for the present at
least. In all probability in the Spring it
will need some more repairs.-Smyrna Call
