From all Indications and the enthusiasm
which is being aroused among the men,
bers of the Methodist church, the play
promises to be great success. Char
acters for the different parts have been
carefully selected from local talent, and
those who have the matter in charge
are using every effort to bring the per-
fcrmance up to a high standard. Re-
hearsals are being he'd almost daily.
The name, Chronothanatoletron,' is
far longer than the play itself, which is
short one act comedy, full of fun
end pointed humor. The thread of the
story is woven around unique inven-
ton, which restores life to the dead, and,
by it's magic the old characters of his
tory are resurrected and are seen upon
the stage in their brilliant costumes and
with the quaint manners of past cen
turtles.

take a little rest One of The prominent
citizens who has decided to enter the con-
test said today that ne would rather not
have stirring campaign, out leave 1t
! to the voters in the primary. However,
as there will probably be number OF
candidates, Bessemer may expect some
warm times during the next few months.
