The American Drama Of the Century
"Ben Hur."

When Klaw s. Changers brillian,
spectacular production of General Lew
| Wallace'S ben Hur'' was staged Ii
Memphis two years ago it created a
veritabe furOre in this vicinity and
hundreds journeyed here to witness
it. Now that the announcement is
made that "Ben Hur'' Is to be again
presented in Memphis the week OF
February II to II with matinee on
Wednesday and Saturday in addition
to the six evening performances, it is
more than probable that the same in
tereSt will be manifested.
Nothing more beautiful, inspiring,
spiritual and edifying than 1.-THE
Healing Of the LeperS" in the last act
Of this %stupendous spectacle has ever
been offered on the stage of the Amer
lean theatre. At this point this
great play is truly and in a very high
sense religious" Here the stage
seems to have conSecrated itself and
all it's resources to the service Of Chris
tianity, and there is nothing that is
not reverent, beautiful and altogeth-
err fitting in its service. This scene
and the widely advertised chariot
race in the act preceding it are the
great special features Of the play,
which give it much of its value and
extraordinary power.
If the American drama had done
absolutely nothing in its long career
worthy but thiS-had its fame to rest
solely tpon this n noble product of
MeSsrS. Klaw & Erlanger-it has JUS
titled its existence, for in this at least
it has shown that the stage may be
given W to Uses wholly worthy,
highly c~ommendable and which can
not fail to exert the greatest possible
blessing on mankind-that of bring
ing home with immense force and dig
nifty the eternal truth and verify Of
the birth into the world Of Jesus, the
Savior Of mankind.
To every man, no matter what his
condition, Ben Hur, " has its appeal.
1t appeals to the deep-grained, firm
rooted religious feeling in the human
heart, and brings back with direct
ness the simple lessons and divine
truths that every man born in Il
Christian land learned at his mothers
knee.
The management Of the LyCeum
Theatre, Memphis, will give careful
attention to all orders for seats
through the mail, providing the ordel
is accompanied 10y Il remittance. i'he
sale Of seats starts ON February Sth
and all orders should be flied prior
to that date. The scale of prices
ranges from 80 cents to 81 90 All
railroads entering Memphis are To
make low excursion rates for those de-

Richard E. Laycook Dead.

The death of Richard E. Laycook at
his sisters home near Coffeeville on
the morning Of January q, 1905, was
not wholly unexpected as he had been
a sick man for nearly two years,
being a sufferer from that dreaded
disease, consumption. The deceased
was born July 20, 1875. AS a boy, he
was remarkably dutiful and early gave
exhibition of those gentle traits and
that kindly nature which endeared
him to his friends later in life. AS a
man he was quiet and transformations,
strict in his adherence to duty and
those things he believed to be right.
He had been a member of the Bap-
tist church for perhaps half of his
life and his conduct was not inconSiS-
tent with the VOWS he had assumed.
He had filled several responsible pla-
ces of trust in Grenada and only
ceased to labor when his failing
health compelled him to do so. In
his death a young man Of fine moral
and christian character goes to his re-
ward. He is survived by a father two
oiSterS and two brothers to whom we
tender sympathy. His remains ar
rived here on the noon train Sunday,
and after the funeral services conduct
ed by the pastor, at the First Bap-
list church, were laid away in Odd
Fellows Cemetery to await the res
direction morn.
