LIGHTS WERE OUT
SUNDAY NIGHT
And as Luck Would Have it was
The Darkest Night we Have
Had This Year

With the exception of those who
were fortunate enough to have pro-
vided themselves with oil lamps,
the town was in total darkness last
Sunday night and it was one of the
darkest nights that we have had
this year. The cause of the dark
ness prevailing over the town was
the fact that the electric light COM
panY had run out of fuel. We
have been informed that the mar
shal has been notified to keep re-
cord of all the nights that the
lights do not burn so that the ia x
payers of the town will not have to
pay for something that they do not
get the benefit of.

INTERFERING WAS
THE LECTURE GIVEN
At this Place Friday Night of Last
Week by EX Governor
varddman

An appreciative but small audience
heard Ex-Governor Vardaman at
the opera house Friday night OF
last week and those who did no:
take the advantage of the oppor-
tunity given them to heart his noted
lecturer missed a rare treat, but on
account of the fact that his coming
was not advertised IN the manner
that it should have been is one of
the causes for so small an attend
ance.
Governor Vardaman is deeply
interested in the "1mpending
Crisis" and no matter what ones
views are in regard to the race ques-
tion, if he hears Mr.. Vardaman on
this subject he cannot fail to be
convinced of the importance of the
Issue and the overwhelming inter-
ests at stake. He does not deliver
a cut.and. dried speech, but is SO
full of his subject that his oration
is a consecutive argument with
every conclusion logical.
He carried his listeners through
logical process of reasoning on
the negro question. He gave them
the fruit Of a lifetime of study
and preplIation on the subject and
at times waxed eloquent in his
reference to the old South, and her
heroes and herOines.

That the town of Pocahontas

was fully demonstrated last Mon
day night, when "Crawfor1s Claim
J a western drama, was presented by
home talents. Those in the cast
had been rehearSed for some time
under the direction of Mrs. Ella

selves and their instructress. A
fair sized audience was present and
all of the players got glad hand :.
One was the recipient of lemon,
but that was prearranged in order
that he might carry out a good
"stunt." The specialities were
good and the variations given on
the mouth harp, which came as a
surprise, as it was not the bill
brought out a hearty and continued
applause from the amused audience.
Taken all-in-all the play was well
rendered and many professionals
