TEN-NIGHTS IN A BAR-ROOM
Successful Performance of This
Famous Drama.

the play Ten Nights in Bar>
Room," was successfully given at
the Town Hall Saturday night be-
fore large audience. The play
was carefully rendered, the actors
seemed 10 be very familiar with
their lines and no breaks being ap>
parent. The parts were filled as
announced in last weeks News.
and while several OF the performs
ers were new to the boards they
did not show it in the least.
J. C. Gross, as Romaine, acted
his part with good presence; W. S.
Pryor in the leading role of Nor
gan, the drunkard, carried it in
good style. W. R. Thomas as the
saloonkeeper, Slade, filled the part
excellently, and Ed Pryor as Sans
pie Switched, the village loafer,
acted the part in lively manner.
Miss Grace Thomas as Mary, the
daughter of the drunkard, was ex
cellent, aud the other parts filled
by Mrs. Pryor, Misses Randle and
Lofty, and Messrs. Price ard Hop.

kins, were carefully handled.
The only defect was a tendancy
at times of some of the players to
repeat their lines TOO fast defect
which always greatly Injuries a
play when the resonance of the
hall is diminished by the presence
J of large audience. This defect,
however, was not SO noticeable af-
ter the first act.
The receipts from the play were
S31.00.
| The sale OF ice cream was as sue,
cessful as the play, and it
disappeared 90 fast that many fails
ed to connect with any. The pro-
ceeds were sl3.10, from which an
expense of SO 90 is deducted.

HALF A MILLION LOSS
Suffered In Railroad Yards All
Chattanooga.
WHERE A FIERCE FIRE RACED
Cincinnati, New Orleans and
Texas Freight Depot, Forty
Two Freight Cars, Two Mail
Coaches, Two Baggage and a
Private Car Consumed.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Sept. 10
At least s500,000 is the estimated
loss in fire which broke out to-
night in the freight yards of the
Cincinnati, New Orleans & Texas
Pacific Railway Company, totally
destroying he freight depot with
its entire contents, forty-two freight
cars, most of which were fully load
ed, two mail cars, two baggage
cars, and the private cars of Supt
M. w. Mcguire. Four hours time
was required by the combined fire
departments OF the city in extin.
gushing the flames, which had
spread rapidly before the alarm
was turned in on account of the
difficulty the tracks made of reach-
ing the burned points.
The origin of the fire is com
plete mystery. 1t was discovered
at 1855 p. m. by watchman. At
that time flames were pouring
through the roof of the freight de,
pot, and in q few seconds they had
attacked number of cars which
were standing along the tracks.
An effort was made to move some
of the cars, but all could not be
gotten away on account OF the den
sity of the smoke and the intense
heat. The depot itself was filled
with freight. the accumulation o.
both Saturday and Sunday.
Freight Agent Hobart states
that the railway company would
suffer seriously an account of the
very large amount of goods waitc
ing shipment or for delivery. The
cars burned were nearly all loaded
including lumber, dressed meats
cotton goods and general manu-
factured wares. The passengel
cars burned were all new and 0
the latest models.
| While the fire was in progres
efforts were made by number oi
thieves to rob other cars in the vi
cinity, and a large force of polic'
was called out to protect the prop
erty.
The depot had recently been re
paired to the extent OF severa
thousand dollars 1t was used b,
the Cincinnati Southern, the Ala
bama Great Southern, and the Cen
tral of Georgia railways. 1t i'm
mediately adjoined the Contra
Depot, the Cincinnati Southerl
shops and several large manufact
uring establishments. A wind Wa
blowing, and only fine work b,
the fire department prevented fur
ther destruction.

C. A. R. REUNION
Attended By Veterans From
Far and Wide.
GRAND BANQUET SERVED
Beautiful Singing Part Of Pro-
gram-Old Soldiers Thor
oughly Enjoy Day.

Saturday was beautiful day, a
trihe warm bnt nevertheless thorough
ly enjoyable and over 500 men, women
and children came to Sequachee,
Post SO, G. A. R., was organized
Sept 3, 1892 and has therefore been or
ganized ID years. The custom of hold
ing the reunion each year in Septem-
Der has been more than justified by the
enjoyment of the comrades, their fam
lilies and friends every year on day
by itself when official duties do not in
terfere, and is consequently more en-
joyable.
The post held its regular meeting in
the Town Hall at 10:30, 30 comrades
being present Promptly at 10 dinner
was ready, but before the attack was
made Commander Hill for Post 50,
drank the health of of Senior Vice Com
mander Geo. w. Patten, who at Den
yer, Col, agreed at the same time to
drink to the health of Post So in wine,
water or any old thing.
Rev. Geo. w. Paul, of Whitwell,
asked blessing and the business Of
eating was begun. There was plenty
of No. coffee prepared by Mrs. E. s.
HAYNES and lots Of pies and cakes and
other good things, the disposal OF
which everybody present made their
special business, and watermelons from
the Coppinger Cove and Curtis farms
terminated the feast.
A recess was then taken and the ta-
bles cleared away and at 13O the pro-
, gram was taken up.
Commander Hill called the meeting
to order and read extracts from letters
from absent friends and then special
choir sang Nellie Gray" Addresses
then followed by Capt. J. G. Lankes-
ter for the Army and t. s. Harris,
Esq, for the Navy and these old mer
eloquently held their own. Just be.
fore the Battle, Mother" was sung
and Rev. G. w. Paul, himself the sol
of a soldier, was introduced and made
an interesting address which was vel
received. Miss Miltie Tate, of Jas
per, recited very PRETTY and was wei
applauded "Tenting on the Ole
Camp Ground was sung and Miss Avs
Lancaster, of Jasper, took the stage
and delivered a recitation in splen
did style. Major Hill on the part o
the Post then thanked all who had con
tributed to the success of the occasion
and ''Suwanee. River by the choi
and benediction by Rev. s. V. Morrel
closed the exercises.
The program was just long enough
and the singing by the choir was yer,
nice and the old songs did the hearer
good.
The post and choir and as many a
could be crowded into the picture wer
then photographed by Artist Rapie
and the reunion passed into history.

were:

ImpOunding Dogs.

The time having expired for the
payment of tax ON dogs and getting
tags. the city council have instructed
the police to catch and impound
every dog seen on the street or in
the yards of their owners, not hav-
ing on tax tag, and after keeping
the dog ce1 ain length of time, if
not redeemf by the owner or some
one else Y wants the dog and
pays the ' and gets tag, the dog
is to be Y i. This action on the
part of city council has put
some jY mile minds to work to see
how tY $ game of the city council
can b. beaten. The council paid
fifty cents for each dog delivered to
the pound not having on a tag.
One boy had dog and had only
fifty cents, and the tax tag being
one dollar, he fell upon this plan.
AS the council was paying fifty
cents for dogs, he delivered his own
dog, got fifty cents, then he had
one dollar with which he redeemed
his dog and got tax tag which
only cost him fifty cents. Another
boy had dog for which he cared
very little and was not willing to
pay any tax on his, so when the
public were on their rounds hunting
dogs without tax tags, this boy
would not let the police take his
dog to the pound, but brought the
dog himself, got the fifty cents, with
which he bought himself q pair of
pants. This is a bright age.

African CuriOS.

DR.. Alfred t. Willis, now with
the Rice Drug Co., has recently
been honorably discharged from
United States Navy service. He
enlisted for four years and when his
time expired he got his discharge,
not desiring to rc-cnlist. At the
time OF his discharge he was on the
battlcship Maine. He was one of
the crew on the Maine when this
vessel was sent by the government
to Algiers. He was in India and
South Africa. He has several very
interesting curios, among which arc
some iron spear heads, and a battle
axe used by the tribes in South
Africa. He says the people of this
tribe are very small, not more than
4 l-2 feet high, but are strong and
active and very expert in throwing
the spears. He also has two pro-
jectiles, Cannon cartridges) one
weighs II pounds and carries 5
pound powder charge; the ball is
steel and inside of it is placed a
mine of explosives, so when it pen
ctratcs the steel armor of vessel
it is exploded and the fragments of
steel are driven through the vessel,
a few of which will soon cause the
vessel to become so disabled that
she will sink.

Captured a Dress Suit Case

Saturday night State Constable
X. E. N. Fowler, assisted by Sergt.
Milo Evans of the city police force,
met the 8 O'Clock train and were
rewarded to some extent, as they
were on the lookout for packages of
whiskey on the express wagon. AS
the train rolled in they noticed
several suspicious looking persons
of color lodging in and out of the
cars. Mr.. Evans caught sight of
dress suit case pass from one car
to another. For time it and the
person were lost to sight. He and
Mr.. Fowler noticed Cardoza Hamp-
ton 60 into car, also saw George
Washington go in. While Mr..
Fowler was watching the express
being put on the wagon. Mr.. Evans
still kept on the watch, and while
standing there he saw a person with
large, black valise, another with
two white jugs go away from the
depot, but after the train left, Mr..
Evans came up with the dress suit
case in the hands of one John
Lewis. He took charge of both,
put Lewis in Jail and turned the
case over to Mr.. Fowler. The suit
case had a neatly fitting copper can
just made to fit the case, with a
screw top to pour out the contents.
This can had at least five gallons of
corn whiskey in it. Mr.. Fowler
shipped it Monday to dispensary
headquarters in Columbia.
