THIS iayorise attrartion Is always
sure 81 Jig house when visiting our
elts g rs merits are ven and favor
ably known and appreciated here.
That our Judgment Is endorsed by
the theatre gpers OF other cities Is
proved BY the fact that Under
Southern Skies Is now In It's eighth
year upon the road and reports 81 i.
the play the credit Of playing to even
larger houses this year taan ever be-
fore in It's history. The drama
seems 10 possess a fascination that
draws people to witness ii again an /
again, hence the reason of its un-
bounded popularity. for it retains It's
old ad..irers from season to season
and Is constantly making new ones.
The marageme Mt has made strenuous
efforts TO keep up the standard OF ex-
celIenee set by the production In prev
ious teasons. Every year something
new has been offered IN the Hal
lowe'en celebration to give novelty
from season TO season, and this yea
still carries out that policy. The
arrangement of dances and the songs
will be entirely different from those
OF last season. Also every bit OF
scenery used in the play Is entirely
new and new costumes have been pro-
vided.
Sousa and His Band" Is a term
OF positive and authoritative mean
ing, it is a trade mark that stands
for the highest artistic. quality in
America and in Europe. The sousa
organization remains intact in the
sense that from It's founding in 1892
to the present, 1t has included the
greatest OF individual performers IA
the world. and an ensemble incom-
parable. With the affinity between
such direction and such body OF
players, the unity OF purpose and ac-
ton, command and compliance, Is q
matter OF. instant demonstration.
sousa will be here September 81 at
the Grand.
announcement is made that seats
flor the performance in the Grand
Opera house Friday night will he
placed on sale next Wednesday
morning. 1t is not likely that the
current theatrical season will bring
us anything of greater interest 81
warth than. The Man Of the Hour"
which Is said to be the biggest success
that has been offered in many years
in New York City, where 1t has been
running ever since December 6, 1906.
A sixteen weeks run of 1.-The Man OF
the Hour" delighted Chicago play
goers throughout last summer.
Messrs. William "A. Brady and ]. p.
Grismer are the producers Of the
play, which is the work OF Georec
Broadhurst.

SMALL BOY
ACCIDENTALLY SHOT
MASTER jim LEIGH is SHOT THROUGH
HEAD WHILE AT TARGET PRACTICE.

Master jim Leigh, the thir-
teen year old and youngest son
of Mr.. w. F. Leigh, was acci-
dentally shot last Friday evening
about dust with a 22 winchester
rifle at the home of his friend,
Frank Aldridge, in North Co
lumbus.
The two boys were practicing
shooting and at one time laid
the rife against a tree to go and
see the results of their practice,
when the gun, in some way, fell
and was discharged, the bullet
striking Jim in the head.
The boy was at once taken to
the Columbus hospital and the
bullet was extracted. The young
man is seriously wounded, but
not necessarily fatal. The many
friends of jim hope he will soon
recover.

S. W. P. U. WINS
FROM A. AND M.


Though a dark and heavy cloud
hung low over Columbus during
the greater part of Friday, and
at one time it looked as if we
would have a down pour of rain;
but fortunately the skies cleared
and two thousand people gath
cred at the Fair grounds to wit
ness the game between the
South Western Presbyterian Uni
versity of Clarksdale, Tenn. and
the Agricultural and Mechanical
College, which was won by the
Tennessee squad, by one goal
kick. Captain Furman of the A.
and M. having failed to kick a
goal in the second half, after his
eleven had tied the opposing
team with one touch down.
The students of the Industrial
Institute and College were given
half holiday while those of
the A. and M. and Franklin
Academy were allowed the
whole day, and a large number,
representing each, were present.
The A. and M. band furnished
beautiful music during the game.
Between halves the whole stu
dent body formed a College pa
rade and marched the field sew.
eral times by the music of the
band. If roofing" is a special
way of winning the game they
ought to have won out. for their
lusty voices rang out in a
mighty chorus, almost deafning
the spectators.
The work of Frank Allen for
the Tennessee bunch was extra
good. until the first part of the
second half. wren he was
knocked out, he having made
several feature runs in the first
half. Rogers also played star
quarter. Marshal in line did
good work in blocking tackle,
over tackle plays. Thompson
played an excellent defense of
end. 1t will be very interesting
to the witnesses of this Clarks-
dale crowd to learn that seven
out of this eleven, who are study
ing for the pulpit. are Mississip-
plans, who each showed them
selves up well.
The A. and M. boys put up a
fierce battle from the beginning
to the end, and perhaps one of
the most exciting moments of
the game was at the end of the
last half. when they had the ball
facing their goal, on the fifteenth
yard line; the ball, however, be-
ing worked back to the center of
the field by the S. p. US, when
the end of the second half was
called. The playing of Dent.
who went in two minutes before
the game was ended and who
gained 35 yards in three downs
was a feature.
