Theatrical Pleasure.

Announcements of the return of
"The Holy City" interest all classes
of theatre goers. The great Biblical
drama, its sumptuous production, the
strength of the acting company, the
music and grand spectacle with which
the play abounds, furnish dramatic
satisfaction and scenic pleasure so
complete that the performances are
featured in all columns containing
theatrical news. Seldom has a play
been so noticed, because seldom has
one play so many distinguished points.
In the thrilling story of the Apostle
John the studious will find occasions
for much following thought those
who are more gratifed by brilliant
dressing aud wonderful stage effects,
will be held by lavish preparation
and perfect execution. None need
fear that this Biblical drama is not
for them, there Is not a moment dur
ing the plays duration that superior
stagecraft Is not in evidence, or that
accomplished acting may not be seen,

Our New Minister.

If you happen to meet Manager
Ayres nowadays, you will notice he
wears a smile broader than usual
The reason of this is that he has Sc.
cured Denman Thompson and Geo. W.
Ryer's "Our New Minister" for a re.
turn date on Monday evening, Feb. 10
Rarely, If ever, has a new play caught
the popular fancy of Etillsboro as did
this one on It's first visit a few weeks
ago. Thompson and Ryer built better
than they knew when they wrote this
pay, 1t is far and away superior to
their "Old Homestead There is a
subtle something about it that pleases
all classes of people, and it will be in
its prime when all its contemporaries
shall have been forgotten. "Our New
Minister" is play of every day life,
In a small rural New England com.
munity, with it's serious as well as its
humorous sides, and it bears an ele-
ment of human interest that will hold
the tension of every individual with
i'' keen insight into human fads and
fIncies. The same excellent cast
will appear.

Our New Minister

In these trying times in theatrical
affairs when even the best of com.
panies are falling by the wayside, 1t
Is pleasure to be able to state that
Denman Thompson and Geo. w.
Ryer's sour New Minister" which
was seen for the first time a few
weeks ago, goes merrily on its course,
playing nightly to the capacity of the
theatres everywhere. Manager Ayres
has indeed been fortunate In securing
the attraction for return date for
Monday, February 10, when 1t will be
presented in the same splendid man
mer as on its first recent visit. There
will be the same excellent company
of players, a more evenly balanced
combination never having trod the
localboards. This returnldate promises
to entirely eclipse anything in the
nature of local theatricals, and it will
be strange indeed If the house is not
packed to the doors on this occasion.

PROBATE JUDGE WATTS
Entered Upon His Duties Friday
Judge Hughes Presented With
Diamond Stud.

Hon. T. M. Watts, who was elected
Probate Judge last fall, assumed the
duties of the Office Friday. He has
not as yet announced who his deputy
will be and the old Office force with
the assistance of Miss Austa Patton
are on duty. In giving bond Judge
Watts gave his three sons as sc curity,
something that has never been done
by Highland county tfiicial before.
And the security is the very best too.
On Friday and Saturday Mr.. Watts
was kept very busy by his many
friends calling to pay their respect to
the new Judge.
At o'clock Friday afternoon re-
firing Probate Judge Hughes was pre-
sented with a handsome diamond stud
by the county officials In accordance
with the long established custom of
giving each retiring official a present.
The presentation speech was made by
Hon. II. A. Pavey in his usual excel
lent style. While very eulogistic it
only voiced the sentiments of the
people of Highland county, who have
the highest regard for the retiring
Probate Judge and wish him all possi-
BILE success in his new position at the
head of Ohio's citizen soldiery.
General Hughes replied in a short
speech showing his high appreciation
of the gift and the good will it ex.
pressed.

and it's membership largely increased.
Col. Hake has worked hard to build
up the Regiment and he has accom-.
plished wonders, he is man of inde-
fatigable energy and never knows
when to quit work, those who are ac-
quainted with the Colonel know that
he will move heaven and earth to
make this carnival success.
The entertainment will be known as
a Military Carnival and Reproduction
of the Worlds Fair Pike, and the
entire floor space of the Armory build
ing, including the spacious drillroom,
the large battery room, the dozer or
more parlors and other rooms and the
corridors, will be utilized. The car.
nival will open Wednesday, April Is,
and will continue for ten days, after
noon and evening, closing Saturday

fully handled the amusement features

Has Become Wealthy.

The success of former Hlllsboro cit
izens is always a pleasure for the
News-Herald to chronicle. The follow
ing from the Houston (rexas) Chroni-
Gle indicates that Joseph Dawson, who
removed from this place about thirty
years ago, has been very successful in
amassing a portion of this worlds
goods, as the property spoken of Is his
residence:
"As an Indication of the prices now
being realized by holders of Houston
real estate 1t may be interesting to
know that Joseph Dawson has recent
y refused an offer of $4,000 for his
property at the corner of Fannin
street and Capitol avenue, This is one
of the most valuable corners in the
city, and the price will no doubt ad-
vance far above this in the course of
a year"

never failing patience and sunny

could not change.
He was all his life an ardent patriot

more than he, and while always for
giving, could hardly forget those who
deceived him
There could be no doubt as to where
he stood upon any moral question

He loved to read the papers, even to
within few days of his death, and to
be informed as to what was going on
in the world.
Having been resident of this coun,

improvements for her good. One OF
his most earnest desires was to some
