The Drama.

The four act play "Esmeralda"
given in Rising Sun hall last Fri
day evening by amateur talent,
under the auspices of the G. A. R.,
was an unqualified success. The
manner in which the dramatis per
sona performed their parts reflect
ed not only great credit upon them
selves, but also upon Miss May Rod
ney who had charge of the rehear-
sails and brought out the dramatic
talents in each to wonderful degree.
The play represents "tarheel"
family in the mountains of North
Carolina who suddenly became rich
through the supposed discovery of
iron ore on their place. Yrs. Rog-
ers (the head of the family who
had spent brief portion of her
earl err life in ''Lizbethville," a
nearby metropolis" of four stores
and blacksmith shop, became
ambitious on their sudden acces,
sion to wealth and moves to Paris
with her daughter and husband,
with the hope of capturing a
''markis" for the former. The
daughters heart remains with her
former backwoods lover and the
sold man" sides with her, although
in mortal terror of "mother" who
is at all times very energetic.
Dave, her former lover, secures
riches from ore which is discovered
to be on his place instead of on
cold man" Rogers, as at first sup
posed. Esmeralda is rescued from
the wiles of the French fortune
hunter and Dave secures his bride.
The humor and pathos were well
blended and the tableauX at the
end of each act were rendered with
thrilling reality. The following is
the

A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
Scrofulous Humors How a euro
Was Effected.
when five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. It
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks cnd hands were very bad.
1t appeared in tho form of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab ovec. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. Nv
wlfe's mother had had scrofula and tho
only medicine which had heIpd her was
HOODS Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
1t to our boy and We noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and it has never since returned"

Dearest Elva, thou hast left us,
And thy loss we deeply feel;
