cupancy not later than September

"a Bachelor. Romance"

Local talent is not always accorded
the appreciation TO which it is justly
entitled; but the rendition of "a
Bachelors Romance" at the opera
house last Friday night by wholly
LEGAL talent was certainly excellent in
its every part. 1t would be difficult
to speak in Complimentary terms Of
one Of the participants to the ex-
clusion Of another. So we'll, indeed,
were the parts acted, natural in every
word and gesture, that it seemed al
most impossible to have gathered SC
many persons from one community,
so eminently fitted to work together
in rendering 30 difficult a society
comedy. The RECORD, therefore,
takes great pleasure in thus kindly
speaking of the participants, and
would suggest that the work so ad-
mirabls begun be not allowed to drop
rather continue it, go that in the neal
future they may again delight theil
host of friends with plays of kindred
character. The participants were
Harvey Norton, George Hadden, Louie
Thompson, John O'Connor, Thaddeus
Ragsdals, Truman Stockton, Mrs. l.
x. Kohlman. Miss Ada Miller, Miss
Amy Ragsdale, Mrs. s. w. Martin.
The solo by Miss Swartz and the
duett by Mesdames Lewis and Earle
were rich and melodious and well re.
ceived.

Concerted Recital.

The Wednesday musical club tend
cred presidents recital at the First
Presbyterian church Tuesday evening.
Over four hundred invitations were
issued and accepted, which was tes-
timonial of the esteem in which the
club is held in this community. The
program was excellent in its arrange
ment and faultless in execution. The
former presidents, Misses Briggs and
Dale, were becomingly gowned in
pink; the club colors being pink and
green, the effect was very pleasing.
The president, Mrs. Agnes B. Stewart,
wore charming gown Of white with
the club flower The
room was profusely decorated with
sweet scented flowers; the entire
arrangement displaying the club col
ors. Each number on the program
was heartily applauded, and the en-
cores were gracefully responded to.
The closing number was perhaps
worthy of especial mention, including
the violin which was handled in .
mastery way by Prof. G. w. Oles,
Cahon's favorite violinist, with organ
and piano accompaniment. This num-
Der SO enraptured the audience that
storm of applause followed only to
cease when the musicians again came
forward and took their places, re-
peating the number. The evening
was one long to be remembered by
the music loving people of our city.

laboring unselflshly for the good OF the peo'
pie even though they may be little lone
some at times. II is an eminently respecta.
Bile party In this county.
,As far as We haye heard expression the
opinion prevails that II is, not at all inconsis'
tent to be Democrat as long as he stays
Within the party lines, and does not seek to
organize q separate political party.
Rev. Mr.. Mckinnon was asked his opinion
OF the organization of the Prohibition party.
He Is Prohibitionist az an Individual. He
breaches abstinence. and thinks II the church
members would refrain from the use OF IL
quor that the liquor question would settle
itself. He doesn't believe in drawing the
church into politics. but believes that the
people ought to express their opinion at the
ballot box, very much as they did In 1890 or
1892, when Legislators, irrespective OF their
personal opiulons, should respect the wishes
OF the people. Mr.. McKinnon believes the
right place 10 start temperance is In the fami.
ily. II the head OF the family has proper
convictions on this subject, the grosser evils
will be banished, and TO this end he breaches
temperance as principal. and not as poll
iicial expedient. Traffic In liquor will take
care of itself as sooD as intoxlcants are ban'
ished from the home.
II, In our ignorance, we have omitted the
name OF any member OF the Prohibition par
ty in this county, we will gladly publish his
name hereafter, II he will send It up. =
