FIJFAULA CITIZEN IS GIVEN
 PAROLE BY GOVERNOR O'NEAL

brother Wilson more than a year ago, before the election was held in Barbour county to determine whether or not that county should be local oplion violated the state prohibition laws, selling some whisky which he had secured.
 Shortly thereafter the election was held in his county, and as soon as it was de- termlned that there was a majority against the sale of liquor in Barbour county, Wilson refused to sell any more liquor deciding to abide by the law.
 He was arrested, however. and con victed at the term of the circuit court, being sentenced to pay fine of $100 and serve six months imprisonment. His case was appealed to the court of ap- peals, and that tribunal this week at- firmed the decision of the lower court. Wilson was to have begun his sentence this week, his fine having been previously paid.
 The following are some of the Eufaua delegation who called on Governor O'Neal in the interest of securing Wilson's s parole: Rev. II. c. Treadgill. Rev. T. H.. Johnson. Rev. j. A. French. Capt. s. H. Dent. George II. Dent. R. Q. Edmondson, K. M. Jennings, John Speight.

ADJUSTMENTS
..The Wall Street Girl"

Blanche Ring was given cordial re- ception at the Jefferson theatre yes- terday afternoon and last night in 'The Wall Street Girl" The ciptal comedy of Harry Gilfoil added to the general en- iovnnent and supplemented the agreeable work of the star.
 There arc few women on the stage who have so much of that rather indefinable quality known as personality as Miss Ring has, and she is so evidently i'm bued with the "joy of life" that 1t IS nvigorating merely to contemplate her, even in repose. She can sing in a way that makes one want to hear more and her bubbling spirits seem never to flag, whether she is indulging in rapid fire repartee, often extemporaneous or whether she is leading the chorus in a strenuous song number, or merely warb- ling ragtime all by herself.
 "The Wall Street Girl'' does very well as musical shows go. It has many of the qualities most requisite for success The music is especially tuneful and rol- licking. There is hardly song number in the piece that is not worth while, un- less it is one or two of the .ragtime' numbers. The plot is of course rather slender and there are times when the action drags noticeably without the pres ence of Miss Ring or MT. Gilfoil, whose humorous impersonation of a gay Wall street broker was extremely diverting.
 Some of the prettiest dance numbers seen here in some time were presented with much grace and skill. The chorus was sprightly, good looking, beautifully gowned and well trained. Miss Lois Jo- sephine alh Wellington Cross, Miss Flor ence Shirley and Clarence Oliver did much to make the performance enjoyable by their singing and dancing. Miss Josephine did most of the dancing and did it very we'll indeed. Some very pleasing love songs fell to Miss Shirley and MT. Oli- yer, who successfully oreated the impress sion of youth and sentimentalty. The third act was beautifully staged land ista pictorial sense was decidedly the best of the show, although there were some opportunities afforded for pictur- esque costumng in the second act. the scene being laid in distant Reno, refuge of the fight fan" and the matrimonial misfit.
