 -O...s Julian made Q friendly call at our office Tuesday and stated that the Julian Comedy Co. had one open date in June, the 29th. and would play it in Canaan if conditions are favorable, pro- ducing their great success, the dramat- ic presentation of Robert Louis Steven sons great story "The Strange Case of Dr Jekyl and Mir Hyde." Frederick Julian in the dual role gives one of the finest pieces of acting ever done on the American stage.
 The NEWS was in error last week in stating that Mir Frank Stevens and Miss Cora Downs were married at the Mstho- dist parsonage in this village. It ap pears they were married at the home of the brides parents in this village. The item reached the NEWS office just before the NEWS went to press, and 1t was published in good faith as under stood. If interested parties in similar cases will not neglect to give news papers correct version of such events the publication of incorrect versions re- ceived from neighbors will be avoided. However, we trust that in this instance the neglect will not annul the marriage nor alloy the honeymoon.
