THEIR FIFTH PERFORMANCE
South Pittsburg Vaudeville Co.,
Adds Another TO Their
String OF Successes.

The South Pittsburg Vaudeville Co.
which held the boards here Saturday
night is certainly lively crowd of
performers, and kept up their record
for performances warranted to turn
one into paroxysm of jawbreaking
mirth. There was n + dull moment.
There was something doing" all the
time. The company were fresh from
very successful engagement at Rich
ard City the night before, where they
played to a crowded house i'll aid of
the Dixie Brass Band, and consequent
" felt primed, if the expression is al
lowable, for repetition of their sue
cess.
The opening farce, ''Wanted-a
Wife,, was very cleverly acted, and
very, very funny. 1t started the ev-
ening's entertainment in good shape
and proved an excellent curtain raiser
The other farces we're all lively and
there was some very pretty acting
Stage business was noticeably good,
for there was movement all the time
Mr.. Williamson was excellent, as us
ual He sang well, too, and all his
songs were enjoyed. The bit of en-
semble singing in the closing farce,
Uncle Eph's Return, was very eff
fective, and the trio, "Evelina, in
troduced in the first farce, was another
musical hit. 1t was hard to tell which
farce was the most interesting or most
cleverly acted "Wanted-a Wife" or
"Uncle Eph's Return,
Williamson got off his usual mono
logue and told lots Of funny stories
His monologues always take well, for
he shows great ability as a raconteur.
The second number on the program,
the contortionist act by Sam Watkins,
was excellent in every way. Watkins
is 14-year-old performer, but long and
slim, and if he omitted any way or
method of tying himself into knots or
hanging his legs into inconceivable
positions it would be hard to discover.
Apparently he had neither joints nor
spinal column. Watkins is a ''good
un" and was watched with interest
The names of this clever company of
comedians besides Williamson and
Watkins, are Miles Cameron, George
Weisener, Oscar Rogers, T. D. Smith
and Jas. Robbins, Williamson and
Wiesener handled the ''patter' parts.
while Cameron, Smith, Rogers and
Robbins did the "black face" work,
until the closing farce when all were
ebony in hue.
The receipts were $500, expenses,
5000, share company 50. 80, share
Town Hall, 49, 80.
This is the fifth performance of the
South Pittsburg Vaudeville Co. here
and they are always welcome in this
place by those of our citizens, who like
vaudeville or dramatic performances.
Miss Adeline Humble, of South Pitts
burg, was accompanist, and filled hel
task very acceptably.

Forest Fires.

Forest fires have been raging in the
mountains near here, destroying tim
Der, and covering the country with a
pail of smoke. In addition, these fires
destroy the huckleberry bushes, which
should bring many dollars to the poor
people of this section from picking
berries when in season. Much game
is also probably destroyed by these fires
by getting hemmed up by the flames.
Popular feelingi is that those who are
guilty of setting these fires should be
indicted and made to answer for the
offence, for offence it is, against the
natural wealth of the country.

REV. R. H. JEWELL
LOSES HIS HOUSE

Rev. r. FL. Jewell, who left here for
Etowah, Tenn, about year ago, had
tile misfortune to lose his residence
there last week. The following &C
count is from the Etowah correspond
ence to the Knoxville Journal and
Tribune:
son Wednesday afternoon about 3:15
O. clock at the corner of Etowah street
and Pennsylvania avenue, the two
story residence of Rev. R. H. Jewell
was consumed. None of the family
WAS at home except a young son who,
i'll company with some other boys,
we're playing in the house. The origin
of the fire is not ascertainable. When
discovered, it had already made such
Roadway that it was impossible to save
the building or any of its contents.
The boys escaped unhurt. The dam
age will amount to about $780, about
half of which is covered by insurance.
A strong west wind blowing at the
time endangered the handsome resi-
dence of E. F. Vandiver, opposite.
This building, however, was saved by
the efforts of the citizens who had been
attracted by the calls of fire"
