fine. Every part was filled with an ability
rarely met with in companies which visit
the smaller places. W. }. Butler as Wad-
dies; Thomas Ince as Richard Terrence;
Evelyn Selbie as the FREELY, and Florence
Wickliffe as Phyllis were specially fine.

STORE DESTROYED AT EAST KNOX The
store of Merton W. SWEET of East Knox
was destroyed in a singular manner early
Monday morning, June Sd. The people of
the vicinity were awakened about O'Clock
and when they got out of doors they found
Mr.. SWEETS store wrecked and in flames.
The doors and windows were blown out.
the roof damaged, and the interior badly
demolished. 1t was thought at first to be
the work of burglars, but later the safe
was found intact, and the mail matter, etc..
saved from the flames would Indicate that
no burglary had been committed. Mr..
SWEET had in large stock of general mer
chandise, such as is usually carried in a
country store, and the building and stock
are total loss, together with most of the
mail matter and the property connected
with the post office. The property was in
surred for $500. The charred body of
dog was found in the back room Tuesday.
