ing as the summer rose, pure in
thought. wholesome in dialogue, beau
tifui in scenic effect as represented
last night by a very good company.
The first act opens at CDi Gould 3
Kentucky home, with its prettty
home like cottage, beautiful fiowe ers
and shade trees, and the air of perfect
happy contentment. One commences
to feel its sunshine and warmth from
the very beginning, and the interest
never flags from the drst to the Eifth
and final act. The audience was car.
ried from one scene to another with
keen excitement, and great hope and
desire that right shall succeed and
wrong shall reap its just reward.
The character of Weary Willie, -
taken by MI. George J. Elnore. is
cleverly brought out. He is a unique
stage individual, not "hobo" of The
usual tramp type, but he is educa sd,
philosophical, cynical, magnanimGns,
self sacrificing and loyal, and his
heart contains the metal of a man an.
der all circumstances. His life teaches
wholesome moral lesson. Houn6ed
threatened even with death while in
the tolls of the yillain-with the
stigma of crime no did not commit
on his life, he bears himself in com
mendable courage through all his mis-
fortunes. The hour of his great
triumph comes when dying man
confesses he is guilty of the crime foI
which willie" suffered, aud in res.
titution bequeaths to him, like the fa-
nous Monte Cristo, valuable mine
aud other property, making him rich
and happy, Then his time fer ven
geance on the venomous villain comes,
but it is tempered with mercy aud
charity for ruined banker.
The great sacrifice of Weary
Willie in act third to the girl that
he has just discovered is his own
daughter. is indeed a noble one. Rath-
er than admit she is his daughter Gnd
blight her young life forever, he de-
nies the relationship and goes back to
prison walls. Imprionment again
makes him desperate man and he
suddenly determines to escape. A
passing freight train is his only ap-
portunity, but lie makes a bold dash
for liberty and once nIore Dame For
tune carries him to safety and freedom.
The play is we'll cast and it's produc-
tion by good company pleased aud
entertained a large audience.

Moore of 2 1.2 miles northwest
of Pee Dee were struck by
lightning and destroyed Satur.
day afternoon.
Besides the destruction of his
barn, Mr.. Grubbs lost about 100
bu shells of corn and seven or
eight tons of hay. There were
two horses in the barn at the
time, but one of them broke
loose and escaped while the
other one was gotten out by its
owner. Mr.. Grubbs carried
some ins urance, but we could
not learn in what amount.
The barn that Mr.. Moore lost
makes the second one that has
been struck by lightning and
burned on the same site, not.
with standing it is said that
lightning never strikes twice in
this same place. The first barn
was destroyed August s, 1905.
Mr.. Moore had some hav.
harness and farming implements
burned in Saturdays fire. We
are sorry to learn that he did
not have a cent of insurance,
and the loss fell heavily upon
him.

Deaths Decree.

| SsA91A = DSSXSSS
WALTER:- Keytesville lost
one of her best citizens Tues
day, May 20, 1906, when Edward
Walter breathed his last at 2:3O
p. m. His death was caused
by quick or galloping con.
sumption, superinduoed by an
attack of plurisy. Mr.. Walter
was born in Baden Germany,
March 4, 1845, and was, there.
fore. aged 81 years, 2 months
and 25 days at the time of his
death. He came to this country
when he was but 8 years old
with his parents, who took up
their residence in New York.
Some seven years later they
moved from New York to High.
land, Ills, where the subject of
this sketch grew to manhood
and was married to Miss
Josephine Schmitter April II,
1870. Two years later MIR. and
Mrs. Edward Walter moved to
Salisbury where they made
their home for five years and
came from there to Keytesville
where they have since re.
sided. Six children were
born to them, five daughters
and one son. The son, Eddie,
died in 1897. The daughters,
Misses Emma, Elizabeth and
Mrs. Rosa Dempsey wife of j.
R. Dempsey, and Misses Lena
and Katie, with their mother,
are still living, and mourn the
death of a loving father and
devoted husband. Besides his
wife and daughters, Mr.. Walter
leaves three brothers. viz:
Adolph of Cheyenne, Wyo.;
Henry of Denver, Colo, and
Frank Of near Highland, Ills,
We never saw more lovable
family to one another than was
the family Of Edward Walter,
and their home was an ideal
one 80 far as worldly happiness
and devotion we ereconcerned. Mr.
Walter was q member of the
German Lutheran church and
lived up to the faith he professed
in his God. He was also q
member of the A. o. U. w. and
carried 1000 insurance in that
order. He was q man of quiet
demeanor and of few words, and
his life was as pure as the
driven snow. No man in this
community was more highly
respected. Funeral services
were held at his late residence
Wednes ay afternoon at 4
O'Clock by Revs. Franc. Mitchell
and o. H. Phillips and were
largely attended. The burial
rites were conducted by the A.
D. u. w. and interment took
place in the City cemetery. The
sincerest sympathies of our
entire community 90 out to the
oererved widow and children.
