One of the best known newspapers
in the South is the Guide" OF Dunn,

sends us the following clipping with
request to publish:
'Found,-by the editor of the
Guide. bottle Of Hyomei, the won
derful treatment that cures catarrh
without stomach dosing. We can
speak In highest praise Of its remark
able power to cure and relieve ca
tarrh Of the head and throat. This
mention is made not as an advertise
ment, but in the interest of those who
suffer the torture of that terrible
disease catarrh."
In sending the clipping. Mr.. Pit
man wrote the following letter:
Il enclose a little piece from my
paper, issued to-day. You viii see
from this that I desire to push the
selling Of Hyomei as far as possible.
l am using il in my own family, and
find that il gives the desired relief,
so that I take pleasure in spreading

sure relief for catarrh."
Z. Jas. Belt, in preparation for the
catarrhal troubles Of this season OF
the year, have ordered a large stock
of Hyomei, and sell it under guaran-
tee to refund the money II it does
not relieve. The complete outfit costs

I'd Ruther Be a Boy.

q hutnef De a BOY
1 never want to be a grown-up.
I'd ruther he a boy
So / can keep any goat and pup
And be my daddy's JOY.
Most grown-up women folks are
cranks
And say that boys annoy,
And men cut up such awful pranks-
I'd ruther be a boy
My dad declares that he can't skate,
And ma can't fly a kite;
And sister Ellen sets up late
With VIII Brown every night;
And brother Joe, he's got it, too.
He's sweet on Kate Leroy.
1t makes me tired to hear 'em talk
I'd ruther be a boy.
Jim Hall kin sing more ragtime songs
Than any kid in town,
An every time we give a show
He makes a rattlin' clown;
An him an me together
Can lick big Sam Mccoy
So what's the use to be a man?
I'd ruther be a boy.
I'm awful glad I ain't a girl,
Cause girls don't have no fun;
They can't go swimmin' i'm the creek
Play bail ner shoot a gun;
They can't sneak in the circus tent
That's what we kids enjoy;
I'm awful glad 1 ain't a girl
I'd ruther be a boy.
Dad says some day I'll be a man
And I won't dare shirk;
Ma says I'm eating white bread now,
But soon III have to work;
The preacher says my time win come
To seek some mans employ;
But I'll try hard not to grow old
I'd ruther be a boy.

NOTES 4an 9E THEATRES

The feature Of especial interest at the
Garrick this week is the appearance of
William II. Macdonald and company,
all of the 'Bostonlans," into the realm
Of vaudeville, in a comic operetta, en-
titled "A Highwayed Highwayman."
Mr.. Macdonald is well known in Will
mington, and many of his admirers
were present at yesterdays perform
ances. Guelma L. Baker, Adele Rafter
and Guy Bartlett, all of the Boston
ians," are in the company. making up
a quartette that is sure to make
reputation in the vaudeville field. The
piece is rather out of the ordinary and
introduces some good music and clever
lines Mr.. Macdonald assumes the role
OF Dick Turpin, the noted highwayman,
and Miss Baker appears as Kitty Give,
Of Drury Lane. If one may criticise
from the first performance the opinion
must necessarily be to the success of
the number, for il was very acceptable
as presented. 1t is safe prediction
that Mr.. Macdonald will very soon ac-
quire the success in vaudeville that
came to him as the big comedian and
singer with the 'Bostonians" Fmnk
Daniels, the comedian, was an interest
ed occupant of a box at Mr.. MacDon-
AIDS first performance yesterday. Will
liam LeClair and Charles Bowen pre-
sent an acrobstic burlesque speciality
this week that brings them hearty ap-
plause, and Mr.. and Mrs Charles T.
Ellis, in Mrs. Hogan's Music Teacher" I"
and the Eight English Girls presenting
the Radium Dance from "Piff-Paff-
Pouff." are a special feature. Others
on the program are German and West,
Talbot and Rogers, Napp, Nipp and
Napp, the Smiths and the ever popular
Kinetograph.

Margaret Anglin, who comes to the
Opera House tomorrow night in "A
Wife's Strategy" and who was the
successor of Viola Allen and Maude
Adams as leading woman Of the fam
Gus Empire Theater Stock Company,
has finally achieved her place as a star.
She reached this pinnacle in quicker
time than either of her celebrated pre-
decessors. No other young actress of
the native stage, unless it be Eleanor
Robson, has achieved this highest dis
tinction of the theater by such brilliant,
but withal, legitimate promotions. The
present production is meritorious in
every respect.

of her performances. This Will be her
fourth annual visit here.

A DISASTROUS FIRE.

Sunday morning at Z o'clock the
people of Lexington were startled
from their sleep by the firing of pis-
tolls, followed by the bells alarm of
fire, which originated in the Lewis
Herman Cos store. The fire contin-
ued to spread until the solid front of
brick stores of one block facing the
f! courthouse north of the street lead
ing to the depot, was a mass of de-
bris and ashes. Hard work kept the
fire from crossing the street at either
end. Loss of Lewis-Herrm Co.,
$4,000, insurance $29,500; A. Pitch
ford, owner of building, loss $4,000,
insurance $4,000; Lexington Drug
Company, loss $1,000, insurance,
$2,500; CA. pitchford, owner of
building, loss $2,750, insurance
81 500; Barbour Herbert-Rogers Co.,
loss $1,000, insurance $1,000; Mrs.
Bette S. Fisher, loss $500, insur-
ance $5, 900. 1t was one of the
prettiest and sighthest blocks on the
public square, and we sincerely hope,
since the owners of this fine site are
fully able, they will join in the re-
quired means to obtain plans from an
architect of ability for two story
solid brick building extending from
corner to corner and accommodate
the constant and increasing demand
for stores and Offices. For the pres

deputy Federal court clerk at Biloxi,
and also that he would be United
