ItRas the much talked of flag drill.
and the splendid success achieved sur
passed the expectations of the ladies
who mad worked so arduously TO that
end for weeks.
And no like entertainment was ever
more appreciated.
Seventy-five young ladies, little
misses and baby tots of four and five
years, attired IN red, white and blue,
were deity interviewer in national en-
blemp, each being very readily recog-
nizsd by all.
First was the Stars and Stripes
"Old Glory" representented by the
full company of seventy five.
Then in order came the flags of
England, Japan, France, Turkey ard
Switzerland. The "Bonnie Blue
Flag" came next, and as the curtain
went up and the song was rendered
the house shook with applause.
But it was when, at the last. the
'Stars and Bars" of the Confederacy
were presented that a perfect storm
swept the theatre.
Following this the Confederate bat lie
flag, ''the best loved and most beauti-
full flag in all the world" as announced
by Mr.. Nesbit, was given at the last,
while ''DIxie" was rendered by the
full company.
After the flag drill the Americus
Light Infantry, under command of
Captain Allen Fort, gave magnificent
exhibition drill. The soldier boys ac-
quilted themselves splendidly, and the
drill was fine feature.
Sergt. Victor Persons was awarded
the medal for the best drilled man,
which was gracefully pinned upon him
by Miss Hollis.

The tragedy created omething of a

yesterday evening to make an investi-

1T BOUNDED UP FORTY POINTS
Another UpheavaI in Cotton Values
Results,

The squeeze in cotton futures has
ended, as expected. and the market
bounded up forty points yesterday,
when the end cams and the bears
scampered away from the cotton patch.
The decline was only brought about to
fleece the little bulls and at the same
time enable the 'sbear" element to buy
cotton at cent under the high level
of last week. But this will be the last
slump, and already prices are putting
on wings. At the close yesterday jan
uary contracts had gone to 11,62, with
March at 1872 and May at 1906. And
week hence ell positions will be fifty
points higher, at least In Americas,
as elsewhere, spot holders refuse to
sell. One buyer here had his limit
raised twice yesterday and still was
unable to get any cotton under 10 cts.
