One of the Good Ones.

The opportunity to see one of the
best productions of the season will be
given at Geyer's Grand Opera House,
Friday, April Ii, when a company
headed by Eugene Moore as the star,
will present "My Boy jack" by Ed
win Milton Royle. Both Mr.. Royle
and Mr.. Moore are widely known,
Mr. Royle as a leading dramatist,
and Mr. Moore as leading actor.
With play by such writer, and a
company headed by Mr.. Moore, little
more may be said TO recommend It.
Throughout his career as a leading
man and as star, Mr.. Moore has
maintained his position as worker
for the best the stage can offer, and
his excellent taste in staging plays
has been used in this oduction. His
performance of "Jack Paden," is one
of the most fascinating creations Of
the stage.

The Pagan and the Chris

Special attraction for Holy week.
This production is designed to H.
lustrate the power of the cross over
Paganism and it does this success
fully. 1t Is impossible to give dis
cription of 1t which viii convey any
adequate conception of its beauty.
Two schools of thought nave ever
dominated the world-the Epicurean,
addicted to pleasure, and the Ascetic,
given to severe self-denial and aus.
terity. The contrast between the
two is torclbly brought out in this
picture, wherein we see the rest
less, pleasure-loving Pagan vainly
seeking happiness and the austere
Christians who are indifferent to the
worlds temptations and pleasures.

There will be a box supper al

o'clock, for the benefit of the
%church. Everybody is cordially
invited to attend and have a nice
time.
Mr.Oscar Johnson of Baden

MIR. J. P. Smith, of Wishart's
township, has moved from his
splace there to a place of Mr.. Dun
can Musselwhite's in Howells-
vile township. We are very sor-

We hope the Baden folks will
get the railroad from St. Pauls to

be the best thing that could
come to pass for Baden and Rob-

development, that we may have
greater prosperity and move up
nearer to the standard of other
sections of our State.
