Part
Prospects That the Democrats
Will Put Out a Com
p1ete Ticket

There is greater activity in the local
political situation. A candidate has
sprung up in the third ward against
Paul Wallace, in the person of Webster
Holmes, and it is rumored that he will
contest his opponents right to seat
if elected.
Frank Durbin made a small wager
today that Cornelius would not beat
Skipton by over 100 votes.
In the sixth ward VIM. Driver is max.
ing heroic effort to nominate John Es-
tes. Mr.. Skaife, in that ward, is also
being talked of by his friends. In the
second ward Jim Linn is slated for the
Democratic nomination for alderman.
In the first ward Fred Steusloff alone is
talked of by the Democrats for alder
man, but back of it all is said to be
an aspiration to become sheriff of Ma
rion county at some time in the future.
In the fourth and fifth wards there
are no candidates in sight against the
Republicans. In the seventh ward
young Lathrop is being pushed by some
Democrats. So far there is no one
mentioned for the office of city record
er or treasurer, but the indications are
there will be a complete slate made up.
There is not time to nominate an op-
position ticket, as the time is past for
holding party primaries. Many Demo
Gratis think this is an opportune time
for strengthening their party organiza-
tion, and making the city ticket the
basis for a future organization.

Wednesday nights, November 90 and
Who's Brown?

Mr.. William Morris, who for more
than five years was Charles Frohman IS
leading man, with the Empire Stock
and Lyceum companies, in New York,
has fittingly chosen Mr. Frank Wyatt 's
new farcial comedy, "Who's Brown9"
for starring tour this season. OF the
actors today who are starring on their
own account, Mr.. Morris is one of the
youngest. Few men have made the
rapid stride of this talented actor, who
in early life climbed to the top round of
the ladder with the Frohman stock
companies, thoroughly migrating him
self into the feelings of the theatre
goers Of the principal cities of the
country. Today he doubtless enjoys as
large a following as any star in the
country.
Mr. Morris has had his training in
the companies of the best actors in
America, and has played all kinds of
roles-ranging from comic opera to
Shakesperian tragedy.
AS Frank Fuller in "Who's Brown9"
a young New Yorker moving in fash
ionable society, Mr.. Morris has met
with most pronounced success. Few
stars are surrounded by such brilliant
company as the supporting cast in
/" Who's Browng" The comedy is a
laugh from the rise to the fall of the
curtain, and the great favor with which
it has been received everywhere is
gratifying evidence that the efforts of
William Morris and his capable com
pany of assistants are appreciated.
"Who's Brown'' will be seen at the
Grand Opera House next Thursday, De-
cember LIST.

The Feast Of Belshazzar.

This sacred opera is the most vivid
representation 'of times and places
which are now occupying the thoughts
and labors Of the worlds greatest
psychologists. The story of Belshaz-
gar equals in its intensity and dra-
matte interest Shakespeare greatest
masterpiece, and does historically for
the Jewish race what the bard Of Avon
has done for his Anglo Saxon ances-
tors. IL tells how, ON the day of

Judge Durham, a well-known local
Judge of Greensboro, Ca, had an expe-
rience with eruna well worth recitng.
A report had become current among the
judges friends that he was threatened
with consumption. 1t was feared for a
time that Georgia was to lose one of its
most prominent and influential citizens.
1t was also reported that the judge
had failed to get any relief from any of
the medical did at his command, that he
had made us of the now world famous

remedy, Peruna, and made a prompt re-
covery. The affair created quite a sensa-
ton in medical circles especially, and
the many friends of Judge Durham were
not only exceedingly gratified at his re-
covery, but were enthusiastic in their
praises of thS remedy that had brought
him relief.
The following written statement from
the Judge himself set forth the facts:
