With Excellent Performances Each

The Huntley Entertainment company
played at the opera house Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, CIV
ing on each evening an exceedingly in
teresting entertainment. Mr.. Huntley
is an expert with the crayon and his
illustrative drawings showed what an
expert can do with a few passes of the
crayon. All of his characterizations
were excellent-the best perhaps were
those of the country couple at the
county fair and the fat policeman-the
'invisible blue"
The moving pictures were handled
with the skilled hand of born shaw
man and were of the best The pic
lures in the Swanee river series were
beautiful beyond description.
Mr.. Huntley was an other-time friend
of the writer when he first entered the
field as a newspaper cartoonist which
he followed several years with marked
success before taking up the business
of public entertainment.

.LADYSMITH LADS LOSE
In Two Games of Basket Ball at
Rice Lake-The Season
Closing.

The Ladysmith basket ball team went
to Rice Lake last Friday and on Fri
day and Saturday evenings contested
with Rice Lake and Cumberland.
The game with Rice Lake on Friday
evening was Waterloo, being lost by
a score of 48 to Is, while when that
team was here a short time ago they
were twice defeated by scores of 19 to
Is and 10 to 9.
The contest with Cumberland was al
so a decisive one the Cumberlands cap
turing it by score of 80 to 10.
The boys account for their defeat
largely by reason of the slipperiness of
the floor, to which their opponents were
accustomed.
The Cumberland team is expected to
come to Ladysmith on Saturday, April
1st, when the home team will attempt
to make break even with them in
which case they will be the champions
of the territory covered this season
having won every series.
The Cumberland game next week will
be the last of the season.

We ARE A CITY NOW
New Incorporation Adopted by an
Overwhelming Majority
Tuesdays

Ladysmith is no longer to be called a
village-the misnomer was cast off at
the special election Tuesday. Our peo-
pie thought that town that has gain
ed 1000 per cent in five years and at
tanned all the proportions of city,
should doff it's childhood garb and come
out in colors befitting her present con-
ditions and future prospects. The vote
was almost unanimous being 101 in favor
of the new Charter to against or at
the ratio of 25 to 1. The smallness of
the vote was owing to the fact that
everyone was SO sure of the result that
many neglected to go to the polls. The
word was given out from time to time
that all was we'll, but the unanimity of
the vote was greater than was antici-
pated.
Upon what theory even the four neg
ative votes were cast has not otdeveloped,
nor can it be easily imagined.
Under the new order of things, the
city will be divided into three wards.
The First ward will be that portion of
the city south of the 500 railway track.
The Second ward will be that portion
of the city north of the 500 line track
and west of Third street.
The Third ward will be east of Third
street and north of the 500 railway
track.
Two aldermen from each ward will
be elected at the April election and will
comprise the city council. The council
will be presided over by the mayor who
will have the deciding vote in case of
a tie.
The other city officers will be the
same as at the present time.
The city will be represented in the
county government by one supervisor in
each ward, giving three times as much
power in the board of county super
Visors as heretofore. This will be more
commensurate with the Importance and
population of the city.
AS the News sees the matter, we are
in better position to make model city
having a more complete oranization in
which the various parts and interests
of the city will be specially represented
by men who are thoroughly interested
and familiar with the needs of their
section. The council as a whole will
care for the general interests of the
town.
