The Play Next Friday.

In this issue of the Banner appears
the formal announcement of the pre-
sentation of "Tony, the Convict" by
The Benton Dramatic Club: The cast of
Characters and general synopsis of the
play is given, which will enable the
reader to readily see the plot.
Tony, the Convict" is not easily
produced nor can it be presented in an
Inexpensive way. The scene plot calls
Tor, or to better express it, demands
special scenery and stage properties that
can ordinarily be dispensed with in most
dramas presented by amateurs. Certain
costumes are also necessary, and all this
has been provided for with a view OF
making "Tony, the Convict" the one
best play ever presented by amateurs to
TIE Benton public. The play has been
carefully rehearsed and no stone left I'M
turned that would in any way cut out a
single feature intended by the author to
be given.
The doors will be opened at 1880 p.m.,
and the curtain will rise promptly at
$50. 1t is to be hoped that every one
will reach the auditorium before the time
OF the rising of the curtain, for in order
70 appreciate the play, it is quite neces-
ssfy to follow the first act closely.
The prices of admission will be as
follows: Adults, so cents; children be-
tween seven and twelve years of age, 70
cents, Under seven years, ID cents.

Tony, the Convict
A drama in five acts and many stirring as we'll as
aughable scenes, is the title of the play to be pre-
sented at the School Auditorium by the Benton
Dramatic Club on Friday Of next week-the 28th.
Il ''Tony, the Convict is old play, cleverly
written, and is of that popular type that fails
to appeal to the American public. 1t contains one
situation OF remarkable power. poor tramp, forced
by villain to claim rich girl as his daughter, dis
covers that she is really his child. Later he denies
the relation rather than coerce the unfortunate girl
into marrying the villain. Four of the characters
were created for humor only. The play as a whole
will please you and you should not miss seeing it.

Leon Jackson, aged IS years Of age, Of
SpaFrow's death.
The jury of which former Coroner
William T. Purks was foreman, found q

to bis death from the effect of gun shot
wounds inflicted by Leon Jackson in self
defense az well as in defense of his sister
after Sparrow had entered the home Of

Young Jackson who is under arrest by
order of the attorney-genersl's Office,
was present at the hearing and made
practically the same statement be did

quest he was returned to City Hall and
placed in a cell awaiting what disposition
the Attorney. General would make of his
case.
Jackson said the man came to the house
between and O'Clock in the morning

fused be forced the door. Jackson said
the man then said that either be or some
body else in the house would die, and
started up tairs for the purpose Of seeing
Jackson's sister. The young man admits
the shooting but says ne did it in self de-
tense as we'll as in defense of his sister.

This is All Wronq

If there be one better way than anoth-
or to ruin q town, it is for those who live
in it to 90 about apologizing for its exist
ence. There are some who are always
ready to say, by their action at least,
that this place don't amount to much.
They will tell you that the town is dead;
that no one would think of stopping here;
that some town adjacent is more enteFpris.
ing, has better people, better enjoyments,
is head OF MS in everything. This is all
wrong. Even if 1t be true, no one should
ever admit it, when il comes to making q
comparison. Every good citizen Of
Middletewn, should take . special local
pride in all that pertains to home. The
schools, the churches, the business, plea
,sures, the picnics, the celebrations, in fact
everything should be looked on by our
own people as just as can be gotten up
elsewhere. The town that says I've car" !"
will always succeed. The town thst says,
"0h, I don't know, don't think il will
amount TO much. ''is uever of much force.
II you have no local pride, borrow some.
