stItutes to Good Ad-
vantage

The first annual show given at the
Mason opera house last night by the
Salt Lake Route "minstrels" for the
benefit of gymnasium fund which they
are raising was big success. When
the curtain went up there was hardly
a vacant seat on the lower floor OF the
theater and the first balcony was well
filed. AS q whole, those who took part
en- the stage did very well for amateurs.
Few mistakes were noticeable, and con-
sidering the fact that rehearsals were
begun only recently everybody did ex-
ceedingly well. The receipts when
counted showed a big total for the
fund which will go toward equlpplng
the gymnasium for the employees.
owing to the illness of Douglas White,
Ralph Wray acted as conductor. "A

been presented by c. d. Pike and MISS

The Weather.

In Hendersonvi'le the brightest
of sunshine-in the North the
people suffering in the icy grasp
of the Storm King, who has
there exacted tribute of death in
many forms, caused the abandon
ment of railroad and street car
traffic and inflicted enormous
property loss.
The high winds of Sunday were
our share of a terrific storm
spreading over a large part of
the country, resulting in death
and intense suffering in less
favored sections than this.
The wind ripped the roof from
the market house and blew down
a giant pine next to Capt. Toms
house, narrowly escaping crush
ing the building.
Mrs. w. H. Manders fell on
the ice, near the colored Baptist
church and broke a bone in her
wrist as well as dislocating that
member.
Several chimneys were blown
but no serious damage was
done by the storm.
Since then the weather has
been all anyone could ask.
Bright sunshine and brighter
skies marks the difference be-
tween Hendersonville climate
and that of less fortunate sec
tons of the country.

ShemweII and the court decreed
that he should serve a term of
five months in prison. Defen-
dant appealed to the Supreme
Court which sustained the find

ShemWell evidently does not in
tend to be jailed. At this writ
