SANDY Bottom"

During the past season many plays of
heartfelt interest, intense dramatic
situations and sterling qualities have
been placed before the public, "Quincy
Adams Sawyer tale Of Indiana; Gala
bama,' beautiful tribute to the State
for which it is named; "The Old Home
stead" with it's beautiful situations
sway Down East typical of the New
England country, have all added to the
stage literature something which
touches the heart and proves lasting
factors in the amusement world.
Another successful play comes to us
in the shape Of SANDY Bottom" a dis
tinctly American play, depending to
great extent on its portrayal of charac-
ters and scenes Of q local nature. Down
in the southwestern part of Arkansas,
nesting among the sun-kissed hills
amid the ripping Of the forest streams,
the whistling Of the quail and the songs
Of the mocking-bird, is situated SANDY
Bottom" 1t is distinctively rural, and
the various characters found in and
about this locality are simply duplicates
of those found among the hills of Illi-
nois, Ohio and Tennessee.
GAS "Arizona" deals with the citizens
Of the far Western State of that name,
so does SANDY Bottom deal with the
peaceful lives of those who live in the
picturesque hills of Arkansas, admitting
of elaborate scenery; this advantage it
is said Managers Hampton and Hopkins
have eagerly seized to supply their
patrons with something out of the ordi-
nary in the way of stage illusion. The
services of an exceptionally good COM
pany have been secured for the portray
al of the characters in SANDY Bottom"
representing as closely as possible the
type of people living in this locality.
SANDY Bottom" is announced at the
VanWerden Opera House for Nov. 10th
Thursday evening.

Possibly the truest standard by which
to judge play is to watch the impress
sion it makes upon an audience. While
the author naturally desires the APP
prevail Of the critical few, it is the ver-
dict of the many which makes or mars.
Measured by the rule of the majority
SANDY Bottom" which will be given at
the opera house in Leon, Thursday, Nov
10th, is a successful play and destined
to linger in pleasurable memory.

The question of the sale of the cleo
trio light plant and the granting of a
franchise to the company which pro-
poses to buy it will be submitted to the
voters of Leon at the regular election
next Tuesday. There will be separate
ballot and separate judges for the city
election, but it will be held at the same
place as the regular election, SO that
every voter will have an opportunity to
express his opinion on the matter. The
electric light plant has been a heavy
burden to the taxpayers of Leon for
many years, and a great many people
have favored selling the plant, but there
are some who insist that it is better for
the town to own it. Personally we are
in favor of selling the plant. Owned by
the town it is everybodys business tc
look after it and the result that as a
financial proposition it has been 6
mighty poor one, the town now being
head over heels in debt. We have {
chance to sell the plant for every CEN
it is worth, and we believe that a pri
vate company would furnish better ser
vice than it is possible for the town tt
do. AS to prices they are regulated by
the town council which has the power
to fix prices for the lights just the same
as if the town owned the plant. The
council has done it's duty in securing q
prospective buyer and it is now up tc
the people to say what they want done
with the plant. Bo sure you vote one
way or the other on the proposition.

Of the health of Mr.. Gittinger, who was
one Of the prominent farmers Of that

hundred acres near Blair. Some time
ago he had an attack, of typhoid fever
and had never fully recovered, and re-
Gently he had been brooding over finan-

he is getting along nicely and will prob
ably soon be restored to health and rea-
son again. He was not in financial diff

sickness. Mr.. Gittinger was raised in
this county and his many friends here
sincerely hope he will soon be restored
to his family in sound health and mind.
