When the curtain rises again upon
the stage of our local playhouse it will
present to us "that odd fellow" Harry
Beresford, in play in which he has re-
ceived absolutely unanimous approba.
tion in every city that he has visited.
He comes to us with Charles T. Vim
cents cleverly constructed comedy
'Our New Man" It's bewitching and
delicate comedy in the hands of this
young genius presents genuine humor
such as none but masters of the art of
mimicry can portray. We cannot doubt
the ability of this young star if we ac
cept the verdict of the prominent dra
matte critics throughout the country. A
celebrated Southern critic says of him;
But the actor who portrays human ma
ture in its best light, who steals into
our hearts and calls our souls out ia
him-that actor is great-not for one
hour and day, but forever, and one of
these very few is Harry Beresford. "
The company supporting Mr.. Beres
ford has been carefully selected by his
manager, Mr.. j. j. Coleman, and in

No Benefit

If you are weak and worm
out-if you are nervous, irrita-
BILE, have headache, backache,
neuralgia, or periodical pains, it
is because you have exhausted
your nerve force.
If you cannot sleep, and are
thus robbed of the rest which
nature demands for the restor-
alton of mental and physical
vigor, your system will con-
tinue to run down.
DR.. Miles Nervine restores
vitality by soothing and
strengthening the nervous
system, thus inducing refresh
ing sleep, and imparting
strength and vigor to all the
organs of the body.
There are very few instances
where Nervine will not benefit;
if not, your druggist will re-
fund the money.
