were.
They were the signs of the ven.

rattlesnake eats this birds eggs. The
outraged bird, while the snake is

"Awaking, the rattler tries to scale

The "Hidden Hand,' a new
characterization of Mrs. +. d. E. n.
Southworth's story of old Virginia
before the war will be at
the Opera House, Franklin, La,
Thursday, November 18th. The
play is in four acts and the famil-
lar characters of the story, Cap
itola, Black Donald, Old Hurricane.
Mrs. Condiment. and the extremely
funny darkies, Wool and Pitapat,
appear in the drama. The pictur-
esque scenery, some of the finest in
the United States, is reproduced.
The romance, melodramatic, in
tensi,y, and the mystery Of the
story are most cleverly brought out
in a series Of powerful scenes.

as to exempt special school taxes
from the cOmmi ssions collected BY the

active interest in school matters.
This complimentary mention of
our able Senator and townsman
was prompted by his stand in as

fees, and his amendment to the
Beale bill making it unlawful for
tax collectors to charge commits
sion on school taxes. That this
amendment was a most excellent
one all will agree, and that such
an idea could originate only in
