Was Presentation of Amateur Play
Interesting News Letter
From Little City.
CRAB ORCHARD, May 2.

which was presented by the young la
dies and gentlemen Of our town on Fri
day evening, is worthy Of special com.
ment. Ii would be difficult to deter
mine who did his or her part best: in
fact. II justice is given each, we can
only say all were equal to the charac-
ter represented by each. To our mind,
the most striking. attractive and charm
ing feature of the play was the exceed
ing beauty of the young ladies.-and the
handsome young men. In the .closi ing
scene. when all we're on the stage to-
gether, it looked like a rainbow of
beauty.
Notwithstanding the inclement wea-
Their, the house was filled to standing
room. Many visitors from adjoining
towns were present.
The cast Of characters was of Crab
Orchard talent, with the exception of
Miss Lalla Nuchols, who so graciously
gave her assistance. being a guest of
Miss Clara Collier at the time. In Miss
Golfers character IN the play as Mrs.
Bob Gray, she displayed herself pleas.
ing hostess, regardless of the many do
nestle difficulties. and the 1footlights
only added to her dark style of beauty.
Miss Annie Bronaugh, as Mrs. Wy
combe, filled her part admirably and
never looked handsomer. In fact, three
prettier young ladies' would be hard to
find. The male characters deserve Gu.
logies as well-M. NJ. Perkins as P, ter
Wycombe. was a prince of pessimists
and a whole show in himself: r. II.
Bronaugh, Jr.. deserves special com
ment, as being the heaviest in the cast.
and he displayed more than ordinary
talent in the role of Tom Carter. Thos.
Moore. as colored butler, could not be
beaten. |. NJ. Dillon as a man of pep
perry disposition did well and made quite
a handsome middle aged gentleman.
Wilson Napier as Bob Gray and Lucien
Dunn as policeman did justice to their
parts. and Lucien looked quite his part
in police attire.
Mrs. j. +. Holdam has cause to feel |
proud Of her work rs instructress. The
music, which was rendered by the local
orchestra. &fsh Mrs. Robt. Thompson
At the piano as accompanist. was very
pleasing.

Much interest is being manifested.
There is an old adage that "a little hu-
nor now and then is relished by the
best of men" and it may not be out of
rider to repeat little humorous incl
lent which came to our ears last Sun
lay evening. A little tot of three sum-
ners inquired of his auntie as she was
eaving home where she was going.
She replied, To the Christian Endea-
'or." He at once expressed a desire
o go with her. When told by his moth
II be could not, because he would go to
leep and auntie could not carry him
lone. He began to weep and would
lot be comforted with all his mothers
She thought to ask him
where his suntie was going and he an
Iwered: shes going to the devil and
want to go with herl"
