Why is it that no one wants to live
in the country any more? Cities are
full of people who live from "hand to
mouth" and whose total wealth is rep.
resented by the clothing they have on.
Years go by and these persons never
have home. They lose that indepen-
dence that the proud owner of farm
has. If there is one needed reform it
is to keep people on farms and away
from cities. .-Whitesville News.
1t was generally admitted by the New
York critics during the long run of
1.-THE Girl of the Golden West" that
Mr.. Belasco alone had succeeded in
transposing the atmosphere of Bret
Harte's California mining life to the
stage, and that the play was an ideal
western drama. The characters of The
Girl, of Jack Rance, the gambler-sheri
and of Sonora Slim are an unrivaled
trio of Amarican types. The play was
presented upward of 400 performances
at the Belasco Theatre, and will be seen
at the local theatre next season.

Emporium Young Lady Assaulted

About $3.50 O'Clock Monday evening,
while Miss Bell Hustled, one of EN-.
porium's highly respected young lad
les, was going to the Herdic residence
in Plank Road Hollow, she was met
by ar Italian. His actions aroused the
young lady's suspicion and she told
him to stand away and let her pass.
With this he grabbed her by the throat
and threw her to the ground. Being a
lady of good physique she grabbed the
fiend, who was smaller than she, and
hurled him to the ground and made
her escape, at the same time scream
ing for help. The Ike became fright
ened and ran. Although terribly
frightened she was match for her as
sailant. lis great shame she did
not have gun. A number of young
men attempted to find the scoundreI
but the frightened lady could not give
sufficient description to aid the hunt.
Too bad that Judge Lynch cannot have
a chance at some of the sneaking ours
that infest our streets at night. No
lady should venture out at night alone,
especially in sparcely settled sections,
without an escort.
