WITHIN THE TOWN.

The people in charge of the opera
ty we'll satisfied that the recent trou-
bles with the new dynamo were due
principally to too much speed. The
trouble has been corrected, and the
good results of the past three weeks
give reason to believe that it will not
develop again.
MessrS. ]. J. Keller & Co., have
been so crowded with orders for lum-
Der of late that they have arranged to
put in an additional dry kiln. The kiln
has been purchased and will be made
ready for operation as soon as possible.
At the same time the new kiln is being
put up. the present mill house will be
enlarged and new machinery will be
added.
The entertainment given by the
Bon Ton Dramatic club, Of Yorkville,
for the benefit of the Coward Literary
society, Of the Kings Mountain Militia
ry academy, was an unqualified sue
cess. socially, financially and artisti-
cally. The opera house was crowded to
it's utmost capacity, and the audience
was one of the most representative that
Yorkville has turned out on a similar
occasion for years. 1t was a great
compliment to the K. M. M. A. Most
Of the people went because Of their
kindly feeling for that institution,
which is generally conceded to he de
serving Of all the good things that can
be done for it. But the benefit was not
a one-sided affair. The dramatic club
gave value received in an entertain
ment of an unusually high order of
merit. The programme consisted Of
pantomime illustration of Tennyson's
beautiful poem, THE Lotus Eaters
and the rendition of the intensely
amusing comedy, THE Man in the
Case" The poem was read by Mrs. r..
II. Stevenson, and illustrated by Misses
Amanda Clawson, Rose Hunter and
Rose Lindsay, bunch of beauties
that could not possibly fall far short of
the poets dreamy conception of the in
tluence produced by eating the tabled
flowers. The comedy was full of wit
and humor of very high order and
was presented by these young ladies':
Misses Blanche Lindsay, Mary Hart,
Rose Lindsay, Claude Moore and Daisy
Hart. All acquitted themselves with
much credit, the work of Misses Moore
and Daisy Hart being especially COM
plimented. The net receipts amounted
to about $50, this satisfactory result
being in a measure due to the business
management of DR.. Hanahan. Mrs. X
#. Stephenson, who had general direc-
ton of the production, merited the
hearty congratulations that she receiv-
ed on all sides, and the Bon Ton clut
may rest assured that the announce
ment of it's next entertainment will be
received by the Yorkville public with
out the slightest misgiring as to it:
ability to give the value of the price
of admission.
