Forest Huff. Raymond Young man, Tom Daniel, Miss Eleanor Burton, Miss Rena Aubrey and Miss Bertha Shalek acquitted themselves with credit, especially Miss Aubrey, who has a voice that is clearly intoned and very musical.
 Miss Rollins was Il that could be de- sired as Dolly" She sang with ease and expression and in addition she was a charming actress. As a coquette she was clever and adroit and she skipped about with the sprightliness and grace that her role demanded.
 The opera was pleasingly rendered and was greatly enjoyed by those who att tended.

Decatur, November s.-(Special.) )-One of the most enthusiastic workers at the polls in Lawrence county for the demo- cratic ticket today was Little" General Joe Wheeler, who travelled all the way from New York to his old plantation home at Wheeler station. nineteen miles west of here on the Southern railroad' to cast his vote for the democratic nomf- nees for president and vice-president and to work and vote for the democratic nom- inee for congress. Judge William Rich ardson of Huntsville, the man who so often opposed General Wheeler for the democratic nomination for congress in days gone by In those old days there were some bitter contests waged between General Wheeler and Judge Richardson, but they have long since been forgotten and today there was perhaps not man in the district that did more to get out a good vote for Judge Richardson than did Little General Joe Wheeler the hero of many a hard fought battle in Cuba. the man who laid away the gray to don the blue.
 Friends of General Wheeler say that he. himself, is out of politics. and that ne Will spend the remalnuef ol HIS uaJ D peacefully on his old plantation home at Wheeler station, where he owns many thousand acres of valuable farming land.
 It is on this old plantation, near the old family residence, where the general s late beloved wife and his gallant son. Tom, who was drowned at Montauk Point, N. Y. at the close of the war with Spain, are buried. On account of the memories of the past which nestle around the old home, 1t is, to General Wheeler, the dearest spot on earth.
