SIMON PETER
AND MYRON
1.-THE SHOW

a fairly good-sizcd house saw
York State Folks" at the Grand
opera house last night, and enjoyed
it immensely. The play is a drawer
here, notwithstanding the fact that
it has been presented here half a
dozen times, and the company pre-
scnting it never fails to meet with a
hearty reception in Clarksburg. be-
cause the people like the play and
admire the cleyerness of the actors,
especially James Lackaye as Simon
Peter, and Ray L. Royce as Mrron
Cooper, whose very souls are thrown
into the production of the piece.
They have played it 50 often that
they have come to that point where
they really believe in it. In other
words they have brought it to the
most vivid realism, and any one can
EASILY see the natumlness Of the sit
nation represented, and can see no
reason why it may not be true
representation Of fact.
These players were well supported
though there was a change or two in
the cast from that here last time.
There is some question as to whether
the changes are for the better. But
the new members Of the cast acquit-
ted themselves with credie, just as
they would have TO do to command
place in the presentation of such a
high-class production.
"York State Folks" grows better,
it seems, with age, and the time is
not yet, when the play will draw a
house here.
The next attraction at the Grand
will be Lincoln j. Carriers great
scenic mclodrama, "The Eleventh
Hour" which will be presented to-
night

ousy, and had shot at her two child
rem. also, aged 2 and 6 years.

GREAT DAMAGE
TO The TREES

Great damage is certain to result
from tic few days Of warm sunshine
which was experienced last week and
the first Of this week, Many trees
and towering plants, such as rose
bushes. started to sprout, the green
leaves coming ont far enough TO be
stcn in many instances. All these
are certain to freeze or die in some
other way unless the plants are plac-
led in Il hot house or given other pro-
lection,
Some are Of the opinion that the
| fruit trees did not bud enough TO
freeze while others say that in some
places the buds swelled to large

be put back in their blooming be-

claims his children have itch and de-
sircs to keep them from school 50
that the disease may not spread to
other families. He further claims
that physicians have examined them
and pronounced the infection itch.
Il i stated the school board denies
they have the disease and that at its
instance a physician inspected the
school and stated that there is no
itch in it. These are counter
claims and the proper authorities
ought 10 make an Investigation.
Probably the county health officer
is the proper one to do so. The

Carter fidgeted on his chair. "Well,
