SOME THEATRICAL NOTES.

Most all OF the successful musical
comedies now before the theatre-going
public can be traced to the success of
"a Hot Old Time" 1t has the reputa-
ton OF being the most successful farce
comedy ever produced and 1t can be
said that from the time the curtain
goes up until its final fall there is not
n dull moment in it. There is no enter
tainment where the elements OF comedy,
music and beauty are so delightfully."-

will be the attraction at the Greenwood

The returns received last Tuesday
night at the court house by special AT.
rangement with the Western Union,
of the election results of the day were
anything but satisfactory-not speaking
from q Democratic standpoint, but from
the standpoint Of news. The messages
and were so badly handled that they
lost all value, except as went to indicate
generally, the election of Roosevelt, the
fgures being badly gsrbled in most Of
them. Not content with collecting q
sum of money from our business men
for the purpose of securing the service,
an attempt was made to hold up all non
subscribers at the court house door for
money before entering the circuit court
room. But Sheriff Garrett and the
other county officers would not stand
for this, holding that the court house
was public property, no one had any
right to collect money from anyone
wishing to enter.
1t was good-natured crowd that was
| present, and the Democrats took the
"roasts given them by their Republi-
can brethren with the dry grin supposed
to Overspread the countence of the de-
feated,

information received, it being given
