A Pleasing Performance.

The 3-act play entitled "A Kings
Daughter, presented at the Armory
club rooms Wednesday evening un-
der the auspices of the Palatka Tenn
pie of Pythian Sisters, was signal
success, and brought out one of the
largest and most representative aud
fences yet assembled in the Armory.
The characters in the play, twelve
in number, were portrayed by we'll
known young ladies of the city and
each and every one of the cast de-
serve much praise for their excellent
acting.
Miss Myrtle Holden, as Mrs. Gra-
ham and Miss Lula Reed as Aunt
Clarissa, were splendid. Miss Min
ME Bulky in the role of Rebecca
Spencer, Il very dignifled spinster
who thought herself lone of the
girls" was complete success.
The kings daughters, impersonat-
ed by Misses Rena Brown, Grace
Heating, Essie Wall, Winifred
Haughton-a kodak fiend, Inez Hol-
den, and Ruth Keating-a POLITICALLY
inspired lassie, were excellent, while
Miss Irene Gardner as Polly Graham
u matter-of-fact little miss who
would like to be a kings daughter,
captured the audience completely.
Miss Marjorie Barstow, as Nan
Graham, Mrs. Graham's niece, acted
her part with much expression.
Between the acts Mrs. l.. A. Smith
and Miss Ida Leib gave vocal solos,
which were much appreciated; so
much so that each received encores.
Prof. }. b. Jarvis was the accompan-
list.
The matinee for children Wednes-
day afternoon was well attended.
Mrs. NJ. S. Brown, the most excel
lent chief of the Palatka Temple OF
Pythian Sisters, under whose direc-
ton the play was given, deserves
much credit for her untiring efforts
in making the entertainment such n
Il great success.
And the young ladies who partici-
pated are also to be congratulated
upon their meritorious efforts.

Gard of Thanks.

In endeavoring to express our ap.
probation of the many acts of kind
ness extended by friends in our re-
cent bereavement, words fail us.
Would that we had language sufff-
cent to express even in a measure
our kind feelings towards those
whose unselfish efforts, faithful
friendship and loving sympathy
tended to make us more consolabie
in the untimely loss of our beloved
nephew, Sydney Whitlow. The
sympathy, thus extended by both
word and action, has been a ray of
light in this our dark hour of sore
affection.

Cotter & Co.'S Daily Cotton Lettc.

Cotter X Co.'S Daily Cotton Lettc..
 New Orleans. Jan. 14.-TEe la vorite opinion in profes sioNal circles at lnesent, is that the prln- cipal rusn in demand for actual cot ton is about even, and that ne" heavy receipts and otherwise m, favorable statistics will more readily tell on the market.
 Action is suited to this belief and in the absence of public sup- port prices are giving way to this selling. Lack of faith and los Of confidence owing 70 the continued heavy movement. contribute to the weakness. Liverpool was also O. this opinion. apparently. faeHres there showing an initial decline of to 10 points, against , 10 6 1 It. Spot prices are S points lower. with total sales reaching 2,o0o.
 Opening at to points down, our market was soon forced low r by q sharp break in New York. The heavy discount under Southern spot issues seems to be no check to the aggressive weakness there for which a bad contract without rep sentation qualities seems the only rational explanation. How much We suffer by this weakness was clearly demonstrated today. As soon as New York halted for while futures here improved rapi\ Y, al- though fear of further selling pressure there is crippling enter prise generally.
 Short covering supported futures on close approach to 10 cents for March and the large dicount under spots lessened the disposition to sell Although checked by the de- cline in futures. there is steady de- mand for spots at about 1-Sc lower than quotations. Factors cotton is not as freely for sale as expected.

peared, and her mother In the South

some other locality, as the Cheadles
are divorced. Tearfully Cheadle
said that he had not seen the girl,
and was only too anxious to learn
her whereabouts. Unless some trace
OF the girl is discovered in the next
few days the authorities say they VIII
take drastic measures TO reveal her
whereabouts.
