 Adelaide Thurston and a well bal anced company presented Miss An anias" at the Jefferson theatre last night, opening an engagement of two nights and a matinee. Miss Thurston's play for this year is very amusing comedy and the name part affords opportunities for her to exert her best efforts as a comedienne. She acquitted herself in capital style last night and strengthened the hold she already had on local theatregoers. if that were pos- sible. Her winsomeness has full scope. She proved to be delightful and al- together charming prevaricator, all for loves sake. Miss Thurston fairly sparkled and her exuuerant femininity, If the term may be applied. easily won all hearts. Her personal triumph was shared by tho members Of the com pany, who gave loyal support.
 There is not a great deal of plot to Miss Ananias." The story Is quite sim pie in its developments. but the play Is a refreshing departure from risque French farce and the tenderloin themes so much affected these days on the stage. Miss Thurston is to be congrat- that doesn't leave a -d taste in the mouth, .figuratively speaking, and does not exploit subjects which are much better not discussed. Miss Ananias Is the sunshine sort of woman who has been so busy playing fro part of nurse and household genius that she is verg. ing on d-maidenhood almost before she Is aware ot the fact.

When he regains his sight as the result of an operation. the complications ensue thick and fast.

SUNDAY
CONVENTION
Continued frnm last wnek

We also recommend the organiza-
ton of more Sunday schools in the
rural districts, which shall be ever
green and also never green and we call
attention to the places in our county
where Sunday schools could live during
the summer months and be an agency
for good in touching and molding the
life of the community.
We urge upon parents the necessity
of placing wholesome literature before
the young, because of its potency as a
character builder and we would speak a
warning against the sensational colored
supplement so common today, in that
they present false ideas of art and they
make of malicious mischief, disrespect
to parents and things to be emulated.
That we recognize in the teachers of
the public schools of our county large
intelligent force for the creation of sem
timent in favor of the Sunday school,
and we recommend that they be asked
to assist in teaching in the Sunday
School and that they read some portion
of Gods word daily before their schools
and then in devotional prayer, and we
pledge them our hearty sympathy and
support in their work of training the
young.
We would call special attention to the
missionary policy of the Sunday School
and insist upon the careful observation
of these quarterly programs. We also
call special attention to the Temperance
Sunday and urge every pastor, superin-
tendent and worker of the Importance
of making this Red Letter day in the
work of each quarter.
Resolved, that we, as Sunday school
workers, extend our thanks to the
Railroad officials for their many courtess
sizes. Also to the county newspapers
for their assistance in publishing notices
and programs.
We also express our grateful appre.
citation for the bountiful provisions
which the lovely women of Hardins.

They have not only made it delightful
