SPLENDID OVATION
FOR JESSIE SHIRLEY

Spokane theater goers testified
to the esteem in which Miss Jessie
Shirley is held here by the pres
ence of two capacity audiences at
the Orpheum Sunday. Miss Shir-
ley's efforts in the dramatic sketch,
The First Woman Governor"
we're literally applauded and a
number of bouquets were given
both at the afternoon and night
performances. The sketch deals
with conflicting emotions of a
woman's love for her erring son
and her duty to the state. of which
she has been elected the first
woman governor. Miss Shirley Is
ably supported by Frank McQuar
rie as the prisoner, Leslie Greer

Daniel Edison. After Miss Shirley

which was given at the Auditorium
theater last night.
Added to these stars we're real
.ly pretty and graceful chorus and
some fine electrical effects. The
company as a whole was evidently
and with good reason disappointed
at the size of the Sunday night
house, but they are giving a mu-
steal comedy which furnishes the
desired laughs and forgetfulness Of
the cares of the day.
Hume takes the title role, and he
ia as funny as they make 'em. Miss
De Mar as lilly never fails to pro-
woke loud outlaws from the audi
ence. There is big bunch Of pref
ty girls. They look we'll, dress
well and dance well. Taken all to-
gether, "A knight for a Day" is de-
cidedly worth seeing. I twill run

hit the right spot with the aud

burlesque on magic that is bright
and humorous. The ballet of Les
Myosotis, an European importa-
ton, is good. Miss Poney Moore
appears in three different charac-
tiers with good effect in the west
ern playlet, 1.-THE Dancing Tender
heel.' Davy Moore appears in the
act as the college boy. Some feats
OF skill and daring are given by the
Walthour trio of acrobatic cyclists.

Some time since we took oc-

of Molasses King to Mr.. Ben

conductors on our Ills. Cent.

brought into prominence and no
doubt frequently embarrassed,
being addressed Molasses King.
We understand that Mr..
Weatherbee, being his first year,
made about 5000 gallons of syrup
from the ribbon cane. All has
been sold and we presume that
it netted him seventy five cents
per gallon. Say that it netted
hi m fifty cents. tt is
easy to figure it out two ways.

this we are uncertain.

A New Enterprise.

Something that is very much
in need aud in demand is now in
our midst, a real live enterprise.
The proprietor is a young man
who was born and reared in this
county six miles east of Stark
vile and educated at the A. &
M. College aud took the course
the mechanical department.
This young man is genius and
of an inventive turn Of mind;
he is an inventor and builder of
his own ideas.
This young man can make any
tool that he needs in. his business
and does it whenever necessary
and delights in his trade and de-
lights in pleasing his patrons
and making every body feel good
about him. He knows how to do
good work and one may implicit
ly rely upon him for good work
and an honest job.
He has in his shop a three
horse power gasoline engine
which he made and it seems that
one could put it under their arm
and carry it about as easy as
type writer. Other machinery
he has on hand that he made
himself.
He has one of the finest lathes
for working iron, steel and brass
that can oe found any where in
Mississippi.
He can take the worse worn
out sewing machine in the state
and in our opinion make it better
than when it came from the fac
tory
Our community, millmen and
every body who has machinery
will not only appreciate the en-
|terprise. but will patronize this
worthy young man most gener-
ously. and intiteled to it.
Mr.. FL. Grady Rand is the
young man above indicated and
his shop is in the Kinnard Build
ing in Court, Square under the
office of the G. T. & Tel. Co.,
where he will take pleasure in
showing and serving all who may
be in need of his services. It is
interesting to see his outfit and
the work turned out. We assure
all will receive courteous and po-
lite treatment.
