overbalance that act of folly on

drama by Hal Reid, entitled 1'Knobs O.
Tennessee This play was seen here
the latter part of last season \ and
pleased immensely and is sure: to, be
we'll received on this occasiegl.
, Knobs O. Tennessee" portrays vivid
picture of mountain life in the hills of
Tennessee, as it is today, the noun
taineers, in the struggle, to live and
let live, in the fastness of the cloud
capped mountain knobs, in their sim
plicity of existence and in frank de-
light Of children, love and make merry,
suffer and never finch. Their sacri-
fees are pathetic, their heroism tragic.
They are gentle as they are strong, and
as pure as they are kind. They may
be white trash" but they are not clay
caters. Ignorant of the formalities of
the outer world, they are untainted by
it's temptations. The dream of their
lives is set among the clouds and sun
shine and storm, The play is story
of intense heart interest and strong
dramatic climaxes. 1t does not appeal
to sensational i effects to retain it's
hold upon the people. A thoroughly
capable company is promised to be
seen in the piece and the scenic" and
mechanical effects are especially elab-
crate and complete.

stranger to GOd.-Baxter.

TENTH ANNIVERSARY

Last Monday was the tenth ami
versary of the wedding day of Mr. and
Mrs. j. Q. Adams, and they were ten
dered little surprise party by num-
Der OF their friends. The party was
gotten UP by Mesdames o. H. Allen
and J. w. Milton. The members of
the party met at the residence of
Mesdames Allen and Milton and drop
ped in at the Adams residence in small
relays. At first Mr. and Mrs. Adams
thought they were just ordinary call
ers, but as they continued to come at
intervals of few moments it began
to dawn upon them and they proceeded
to take hand in entertaining their
guests, who had by this time taken
complete possession of the house. and
a jolller crowd could scarcely be met
with. Music, games, ETC., filled in the
time. Especially pleasing were the
playing and singing of Miss Fife Man
ming of Minneapolis. A few of the
ladies who had taken possession of the
kitchen, soon had refreshments con-
sisting of salads, coffee, cream, cake,
etc., ready, of which all partook ad
libitum. Mrs. Adams had been the
recipient of number of culinary
utensils, meat grinder, vegetable
slicer, deep fat fryer and basket,
sauce pans, pudding pans, Skniyes, sill
YER spoons, double cereal boiler, ETC.,
and a. large white Enamel Refrigera-
tor from her husband She also re-
ceived check for one hundred dollars
from her brother-in-law, Cyrus Field
Adams, Asst. Register of the U. S..
Treasury at Washington, which she.
exhibited with considerable pride
And in order that Mr.. Adams should
not feel that he was forgotten, his
brother sent him check for one dol
lar. Every one seemed to enjoy the
occasion hugely and about midnight
left, wishing the host and hostess
many happy returns of the day. ~

The anti-Van SAINT men retired from
the field without firing a single shot
in the open. Tams Bixby, chairman
of the committee and recognized lead

for the convention date, which was
carried by a unanimous viva voce vote
without the slightest debate.
