PEOPLE WE KNOW.
they Are Augusta People and What The,
Say Is Of Local Interest

When an incident like the following
occurs right here at home it it bound
to carry weight with our readers So
many stranger occurrences SO the
rounds of the press, are published as
facts, when the intelligent reader
knows they cannot be true, there is 40
wonder that people become skeptical.
On one subject skepticism is rapidly
disappearing. This is due to the actual
personal experience Of our citizens and
their public expressions regarding
them. The doubter must doubt NJ
more in the face of such evidence as
this. The public statement of a reput-
able citizen living right here at home.

no ground for the skeptic to stand on.

COMING NOV, 2.

Lovers of high class ENTERTAINMENT
will hail with joy the announcement
that Camp No. 315. Modern Woodmen
of America, has secured Prof. John
Watson, clarinetist, and company of
professional artists, for Wednesday,
Nov. 2. This is one of the best high
class entertainments travelling on the
road today. The Camp is sparing no
pains to make it success. Invitations
have been extended to surrounding
Camps to be present, and Germania
Opera House will undoubtedly be filled
to its fullest seating capacity. Here is
what the Davenport Daily Republican
says of the company:
1.-THE grand concert given last night
at the New Grand opera by the cele.
DRAFTED clarinetist, Prof John Watson
and his company of artists, proved to
be a musical feast. Every selection
was strictly classic and rendered with
wonderfully perfect execution.
The evenings entertainment opened
with the rendition Of Sonata AppasiOn-
alta op. Is, by Beethoven, executed by
Prof. E. A. Patchen. Prof. Patchen
uuly earned the favors extended by
the audience. This talented gentleman
might be taken for Padereswki ii he
would grow head of foot ball hair.
AS he appeared last night he looked
very much like Lincoln and while he
may never have split rails he can come
as near splitting the piano as any one
the writer knows of.
The appearance of Prof. Watson was
the signal for expectation and the
house was as quiet as if no one were
present. The noted clarinetist superb
~ rendered Rigoletto, Fantasia Di
Concerto by Verdi Bassio, which was
we'll received. Prof Watson is indeed
an artist and the varied tones he pro-
duces clearly places him peer in his
professional line.
Perhaps the. greatest hit of the even
ing was made by Miss Agnes Reid,
the humorous impersonator. Miss Reid
is decidedly clever and throws the au-
dlence into commissions of laughter and
at times holds the audience SPELL
bound as if she possessed mesmeric
influence. She responded to encores
gracefully and made the following mo
ments the more pleasurable.

CLARK'S SUMMIT.

What might have been a serious con-
flagration was narrowly averted Tues
day morning. Fire was discovered in
the rear of G.. W. Stantons furniture
store about l o'clock by Martin Grif-
fifth and Foster Williams, who chanc-
ed to be passing the store on their way
home from Scranton. They forced an
entrance by breaking one of the large
plate glass windows in front of the
store, and succeeded in extinguishing
the fire before 1t had gained great
headway. Origin of the fire is not
known, but it is supposed to have been
caused by some midnight prowlers, as
there was evidence that some one had
entered the building in the rear by
breaking a window. Loss is small and
fully covered by insurance.
The Baptist ladies will give a pink
tea in the hall tonight "wednesday.
A gentleman from Scranton will speak
during the evening. All are cordially
invited to attend.
