HIS GAMES OFF.
LOrin j. Howard Threatens to
hoodoo Florence People.

Lorin j Howard, manager of
the New Waits of New York
company, has made himself sub
ject of much comment in this city
This fellow claims that he is a
publishers agent, who is doing
business in New York and he
claims further that he controls the
copyright OF Alabama" which
has been put on the stage of the
Florence opera house the last two
evenings for the benefit of the
Children's Home, and for this
privilege he demands royalty to
the amount of $25 for each even
ings entertainment.
On the other hand, Mr.. Fame,
who is the one who started the
movement of getting up the enter
tainment, claims that he had writ
ten to Mr.. Thomas, the author and
owner of the copyright of "Aia-
bama," and the privilege of using
it was granted. Now, Mr.. Howard
would never have known of this
entertainment had he and his
troupe not passed through here.
and probably no action would have
been taken even then, were it not
for little misunderstanding be-
tween himself and another gentle
man with whom he had trouble
the night that the New Waits of
New York" was played here.
The citizens of Florence are bit
terly protesting against the action
of Howard, and if he continues
with his work he will be brought
back to Florence under arrest to
answer to a charge of obtaining
money under false pretense, by
advertising that the people would
see Katie Emmett perform with
his company last Monday night
Katie Emmett did not appear, but
Howard did not state this fact and
took the peoples money when he
knew that they were being deceiv-
ed. Word was sent to Canon City
yesterday noon asking if Mr. How
ard was still there, but he must
have ''smelled rat, nfor word came
back that he had flown the coop"
and that his whereabouts we're un-
certain. Had he been in Canon,
warrant for his arrest would have
been issued.

A DOCTOR WANTED.
The Farmers in Bedford Grumblc But



Arc Prosperous.
N1ONTVALE, VA, Feb. 22.-Spccial.-
Dr. William Spinner, the leading physi-
clan here, was paralyzed at Roanoke on
the 10Th in both hips. He and his wife
were visiting her brother, MIR. c. 3. ticks,
and while on his way to the train was
stricken AS this is his first attack it is
hoped he may soon recover, as he is
comparatively young man.
This leaves AIontvale and the citizens
within a radius of ten miles without a
physician, except DR.. S. II. Price who
is Treasurer of the county and is absent
three or four days each week at his office,
in Bedford.
A good physician is badly needed. Our
people are thrifty, Independent, and
prompt in paying their bills. Board is
cheap and the people will recognize a
physicians services.
Mrs Ethel Wells buried an infant five
months old on Monday at Mount Zion

It has been raining for two days, a

very much disgruntled, as they were re-
joicing that snow had fallen and hoped
it would cover the growing wheat for
some days, ana conS!dercu tiiit there
would then be prospect Tor good crop.

ers' faces are beaming with smiles once
more. They say that they are a down

prices for their farm products, and now
the "gold standard inultiplies all OF

It looks to me that the farmers in this

years: each one drives his family to

their debts.
