GTand Spectacular Performance of
The Opera POWhatan.

Arrangements are being completed
for magnificent production of Pow
hatan, an historical Indian opera of the
Old Dominion of long ago.
The story of the capture of John
Smith by the Indians end his rescue by
Pocahontas, is the principal theme and
is full of thrilling and pleasant interest
from start to finish.
There will be a large company of
ladies' and gentlemen, in the role of
Indian maidens and warriors, also some
very attractive features to be given by
the papooses, little Braves and Indian
girls of this famous ideal tribe of Pow
hatan Indians.
The music is of a tuneful, catchy
nature, but is not without much merit
also, the small plot or story of the opera
is just sufficient to hold the incidents
and their establishments together, and
portray the idealistic notion of the
Noble Red men before their contamina-
tion with the evils of cilivzation.
The Cast of Characters, is wisely
chosen and the choruses are effective
and will be well trained-the singing
will be feature of the opera.

Visiting His Childhood Home.

W. S. Witten, one of Tazewell's bows
who has made good in the west, is
here to visit his old home and renew ac-
quaintances. Mr.. Witten was born
fifty years ago in the house now occu-
pied by j. P. Whitman in Horsepen
Cove, an1 just after the war moved.
while yet an infant, with his par ents to
Missouri. He farmed for awhile after
reaching manhood's estate, but the lure
of the cattle business took him to Oma-
ha, Neb., where in time he became su-
perintendent of stock yards, and from
there to Chicago, where he holds the re-
sponsible position of superintendent of
the Union Stock Yards and Transfer
Company, the largest institution of the
kind in the world. This is Mr.. Witten s
second visit to his old home since leav-
ing here some forty-eight years ago.
Mr.. Witten, speaking of the high
price of cattle said, that the problem of
securing q sufficient supply of cattle for
the big packing houses is serious one
and promises to be more so as the years
go by. The revolution in Mexico has
shut off the feeders from that coun-
try, and there are not enough raised in
this country to supply the demand He
recalled the prediction made by the old
cattlemen of the western plains of q
generation ago, who prophesied that il
the prarie of the foothills of the Rock
les be thrown open to homesteaders,
just such conditions as confront US to-
day would come to pass.
