"Tsnnsssol's Pardnsr I"

"Tennessee's Pardner, !" Bret Harte's
beautiful comedy.drama, will occupy
the stage Of the Grand opera house
Thursday night, December 4.
The secret Of the success Of this
play for the past three seasons seems
to be in the naturalness Of the char
acters, the picturesque environment,
the witty dialogue and clever story,
and above all, the excellent portrayal
Of all the characters by the unusually
powerful company, "Tennessee's Pard-
ner, was suggested by Bret Harte's
immortal n nance Of the same name
and as the playwright has given US the
very atmosphere OF Harte, all the
faithful adhereuts OF this brilliant
western writer will appreciate the 70
nance In its dramatic form. The
company comprises the principal mem
bers OF the original cast who have APP
penrcd for the past two seasons in the
characters they created. The scenic
effects are particularly appropriate
and elaborate, and the Golden Nugget
ouartette has been retained as a
special feature and will be heard In
new vocal selections.

Mr.. sOuders Moves Here.

Mr.. Lloyd P. Souders, one of the
firm OF w. P. Hendrlckson s. Co., who
has charge OF the company's big store
at Clarksburg, came down the latter
part Of last week and this week re-
moved his family to the above city.
Mr.. Souders and family since first COM
ing to this city, have occupied the
c .mfortable residence on Luzadder
street belonging to Mr.. T. E. Cole.
Grafton people greatly regret the re-
moval Of these popular young people,
and they will be genuinely missed by
a large circle Of admIring acquaint-
ances. Mr.. Souders is meeting with
deserved success in ClarksburR, and
the business Of his company is in quite
a fiourishing condition. Grafton will
be pleased to learn Of his continued
success at his comparatively new To-
cation and will always take pride in
having at one time claimed citizen
ship Of himself and his estimable fam
ily.-Graftou Sentinel.

LUNATIcs' LONG TRAMP.
Suffered from Cold and Hunger
and Looks Ten Years Older.

Last weeks Telegram told Of the
bringing by Clarence Dawson OF a
lnnatic from Wilmington, Delaware.
The fellow was Martin Cogley, whose
home is In Wheeling, About two
months ago he took notion to leave
the institution. Being one of those
harmless patients getting up in years,
more privilege was given him than
some OF the other patients, and for
this reason he was permitted more
freedom. Leaving the institution one
morning, just after he had breakfast
ed, he started for the woods, keeping
them until he struck the railroad near
Piedmont, travelling nearly fifteen
days, he says, without food. From
Piedmont he tramped his way on
freight trains until he reached VIII
mington, Delaware. Looking sus-
picious, he was arrested. He told the
police a straight story and begged
them to have him returned to this in.
stltution. The authorities Of Will
mington made the facts known to SUI
perintendent Kunst by wire, and Su-
perlor Dawson was sent to Whining
ton for him. Mr.. Cogley looks ten
years older and is glad to get back.
His story as to how he suffered for
food aud from cold is most pitiful.

have been In circulation asking the
Reinstatement OF o. A. AMMAN as
B. s o. agent at this place. These

by business men OF the city, and all
not only take great pleasure In sub
scrlbing their names but are really
delighted over the opportunity. They

great value OF his services in the past
and the efficiency and dispatch of his
merhods. In all his long tenure OF
ofllce here he did his duty well, serv-
Ing faithfully 1.-THE railroad company
and Its patrons. His familiarity with

him advantages over the several who
have acted as agent since his resigna-
tion and he is in position and is pre-
pared to handle the business more
satisfactorily than any one the Tele-
gram knows Of. The petitions viii be
sent TO the railroad company's head
quarters at Baltimore and 1t Is earn
estly hoped the company and Mr..
AMMAN will see their way clear TO
grant the request contained therein.
Mr.. Amman has very 90 ID position
now but IL is hoped he viii not decline
TO serve, should the company agree to
re-appOlnt him.

placed in the cavity arranged In the

and the receptacle was sealed with the
rites and forms OF ancient Masonry,
which proved very interesting. The

pated. A goodly number, however,
OF Shlnnston people attended the cere-
monies and several Fairmont Masons
were present. The construction Of
the temple will be rapidly pushed. It

kind word for both teacher and pupil.
His ambition to die in this service
was realized. Mr., Alexander was also
county coroner up to the time of his
death. He served the people faith
fully and well in other offices also.
Possibly, no man ever devoted his time

Ramey, deceased. From this union
were born, Robert, George, Richard,
John l., Mary, William and Jennie.
William and Richard are dead. Bobart,
George, Mrs. Mary Isenhart and Jen
ME reside in Wichata, Kansas.
His second wife was Rebecca Rector,
daughter Of D. W. Rector. Roy was
the only child by this union. The
second wife survives him.
The deceased was Of KIM and gen
erous heart; he was a loyal, upright
citizen; a loving husband, and an in
dulgent father. His word was as good
as his bond and no one was held in
higher esteem for honesty and integ-
rity. He had a kind word for all and
all had a good word for him.

residence at 2:3O o'clock Thursday az
