Tie NEWS doubts II any other
town OF the same size can produce
as many good amateur actors as
Louisa has, On many and various
occasions our young people, of
both SEXES, have shown that they
are very much at home in comedy,

Il and talent far better than much

called professionals. ....

stag. was in the presentation of
the comedy-drama OF "Joe, the

auditorium was well filled on both
occasions, and the applause called
forth by the efforts Of the young
men and girls In the various roles
was abundant and hearty. The
story was that of girl, Joe, who,
as - waif. drifted into lumber
camp away off Down East, and who
soon became its pet She was adopt
ed by rich man who proved to be
her uncle, and who endows her
with much worldly goods, together
with an eduation. Joe marries the
lover and champion Of her early
days. and all ends happily for ey-

her son. The action and develop

Nardaman still has about seventy
votes that line up for HIM and they
have resisted every assault Of the skill

Tuesday the legislature was required
by federal statue to vote IN open SeS-

by the caucaS the vote was scattered
SO as to prevent an election until the

will be the outcome is of course prob

press and the petitions sent into the

the folks at home want Vardaman.
