william.
"Phil Warburton," played by Sam T..
McGill, was artistic. Mr.. McGill was
every inch the polished, suaYe, high
toned, high principled gentleman that
his part called for.
"Judge Van CruRer," by Tom b. Pell,
was a revelation. IL was hard for the
audience to realize that Mr.. Pell had not
spent life time ON the stage. He was
as natural as life in the part. His Judge
Van Cruger could not be improved upon;
you had the ideal supreme judge before
your eye in every word and act Of Mr..
Pell. His story Of Lena's life, told quiet
ly, but with intense earnestness, held the
audience breathless and was a triumph

with glory.

1t is a street fair, teachers association
or an amateur theatrical entertainment
it goes in to win.
The people down there have no such
word as failure in their lexicon
Last Thursday night, which was
Thanksgiving night, by the way, the
people of that pretty little city were
treated to an entertainment that would
be creditable to the Meffert Stock Com
pany, the theatrical organization that
Louisville fairly raves over.
The show was given in Odd Fellows
hall, which has fine, large stage and
splendid seating arrangement. The hall
would be credit to any large city and
its entire seating capacity was tested to
the utmost. A conservative estimate of
the number of people present is 500 and
it is certain that a Landowner, better
dressed or more intelligent audience
could not be gathered in the state of
Kentucky.
The beautiful toilettes of the ladies
and the welLgroomed appearance OF the
men present, together with the atmos-
phere of refinement and culture made
up an environment that was elevating in
its influence.
Your average Lewisport gathering is
peculiar to itself. The people are all

The characters OF the drama were in
terpreted in splendid manner. Each
actor seemed in sympathy with his part
and there was an artistic rendition of the
whole.
William B. Miller, as "Tony, The Con-
vict," was success, His fine physique
and his earnest, sincere personality fitted
him for this difficult part. He enlisted
the sympathies of the audience from the
start. 1t took great tact to interpret this
peculiar character, who at one moment
seemed weak and trifling and the next
was intensely dramatic, but Mr.. Miller
handled it in an artistic manner.
"Weary Wayside," the happy.go-lucky
tramp actor was beautifully rendered
by W. B. Blincoe. His genuine good ma
ture, and his love for pie gave him a
warm place in the hearts OF the audience
and they are indebted to him for many a
hearty laugh.
Robert B. Prentis, as "James Barclay"
the william, made himself cordially hated
He was as cruel and as cold as he could
be. Not in that rampant style, but in
the quiet, vindictive cynical manner that
cuts to the quick. The greatest compli-
ment that can be paid Mr.. Prentis is that

that the woman would be rendered in
sane when she regained consciousness
were she to find her child dead With
the consent OF the dying mother, her
child, the daughter Of "Tony. the Con-
Wet" was substituted for the infant
daughter Of Judge Van Cruger.
The adopted daughter was named
Lena. She grew to graceful womanhood,
unconscious Of her history. When she
was about eighteen years of age she fell
in love with Phillip Warburton, a socie-
ty man of the finest type. He reciprocal
ed her affection. James Barclay, hard
hearted, cynical young man also loved
her and he used the secret knowledge OF
the fact that her father was convict to
gain power over her and almost COM

VICIOUS FIRE.
The House Burned as II 1t Were
Powder.

The most sensational fire we have
heard Of comes from near Chambers, says
the Hawesville Clarion. On Monday,
during the high wind house belonging
to Hon. j. L. Brown, and occupied by
his brother Joseph, was set on fire from a
tiue on the south side. Joseph Brown
and family had just returned from pro-
tracted meeting being held in the neigh.
borhood, and were accompanied by
Misses MCKEE and Gardner. 1t was
some time after they had arrived home,
and in broad day light when the fire
broke out The flames spread as if in
powder bed and all inmates came near
not escaping. Everything the family had
was burned except two feather beds, and
the visitors didn't have time to as much
as get their wraps out.

like one family. They are proud of
their town, proud of its people and they
pull together in all things That is why
they are so successful and the gathering
Thanksgiving night exemplifed this to
the fullest extent.
The drama to be rendered was "Tony
the convict" 1t was realistic to a de-
gree. 1t recited the story of a mans
life who had generously sacrificed him
self that an erring brother should not
suffer. He was innocent of any guilt
yet he allowed the charge Of forgery to
rest upon him and was convicted. His
wife, suffering under the stigma OF her
husbands disgrace, left her home, taking
her infant child with her. They rested
one night in lonely cottage and the
burden of grief brought the suffering
mother to deaths door. While she was
lying on the bed waiting the dissolution,
a physician announced that carriage,

Lena" by Miss Pearl Bandford, was
perfect. She was an ideal heroine. and
had fine conception OF the artistic pos.
sibilities Of her part. She was sweet,
sympathetic, and very dramatic. She
won the hearts Of the audience from the
start.
"Mrs Van CIuger," by Miss Grace
Hicks, was very pretty rendition. She
was the refined, cultured, devoted moth
er that one would look for. The ele-
ment Of sadness that bad entered her
life, as an invalid, was apparent, and
Miss Hicks is to be warmly coDgratu-

made her star of the first magnitude.
She has beautiful voice, and the duet
rendered by her and Mr.. Blincoe was
encored over and over again.
Gregory Blandford, as Warden Bur-
rows" of Sing Sing prison, was good, and
would have shown splendid talent in
more important part.
The concert that formed part of the
program was highly enjoyed. and by its
artistic work the Lewisport band has es-
tablished itself as a first.class musical
organization, and one that would be
creditable to Greensboro.

Fowler, the late Republican candidate

the latter will institute legal proceedings
against N. S. Gresthouse, clerk of Han

Nick need have little to fear, however,
as the gang who is after him would have
a hard time establishing Fowler's status

This section Of the country had its first

that day the clouds began TO lower and
a fine, dry snow began to fall. The cold
was quite severe and it stimulated the
demand for overcoats as we'll as "tom-

took advantage OF the cold snap to kill
them, and the dying squeal of the porker
was heard throughout the land. These

BABVs SMOOTH, FAIR SKIN

A Grateful Mother Writes this Letter
Tells all about Her Troubles whom
Baby Broke out with SorofuIs Sores.
aAt the age OF two months, my baby
began to have sores break out on his right
cheek. We used all the external APP
plications that we could think or hear OF,
to no avail. The sores spread all over one
side of his face. We consulted a physi-
clan and tried his medicine, and in a week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise In
two weeks more another scrofulous look
ing sore appeared on baby's arm. 1t
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, l began giving him
Hoods Sarsaparilla. i also took Hoods
earsaparilla, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were well and have
never returned. He Is now four years old,
but he has never had any sign OF those
scrofulous sores since he was cured by
Hoods sarsaparilla, for which feel very
grateful Ny boy owes his good health
and smooth, fair skin to this great med
icine." MRS. 5. s. WRornN, Farming

IN SPITE OF COLD
The Merchants Enjoyed a Fine Trade
Saturday.

The cold, windy weather Of Saturday
prevented large crowd from coming to
town, and it also interfered with the pro-
posed balloon ascension to the extent that
the latter event was postponed.
The aeronaut said that going up in a
hot-air balloon and leaping 1000 feet
through the clouds with the assistance of
a parachute, under the best of conditions
was dangerous, but with such wind as
was blowing Saturday it was hundred
times more 80, and meant certain death
to him should he attempt it.
The people who braved; the weather
and came to the city were quite active in
their trading. The leading houses Of
the city report the best business last week
they have had in years.
