LITTLE WOMEN -

A beautiful story OF simple home
life. admirably acteu and nicely
staged was the performance OF Little
Women" at the Oliver Yesterday.
Many are familiar with the home
folk stories OF Louisa NJ. Alcott and
this dramatization of one of her best
known works has been splendidly
done. Few book stories have lent
themselves so well TO stage presenta-
tons and the many lOvable characters
seem 10 have literally stepped from
the printed pages 10 the stage.
The sOftening and elevating sadness
that is left after the performance is
wholesome and beneficial If not quite
so attractive as some OF the lighter
forms of entertainment The pre-
senting cast had much 10 90 with the
pleasure Of the performance. To Sc
lect the most favored IS difficult but
doubtless the character of 10. the
big. wholesome. tOm-bOy girl proba-
bly, leaves the most lasting impression.
This character was delightfully."- play
ed by Jane Marbury. who looked the
part to the life and played with a
frank implicitly that was most engag-
ing The three other sisters, Beth,
Meg and Amy, were pleasingly played
b the Misses Mcdaniel, King and st.
Leon, who capably brought out the
good points Of the various types and
gave individuality 10 each role. DON
aid Gallaher was the Laurie, and al
though rather an effeminate boy,
doubtless followed the book-type as
drawn by the author. The other
characters, particularly that Of Mrs.
March, played by Marta Oatman with
sympathetic tenderness, filled in the
many pretty pictures; the feminine
types overshadowing those Of the
men Marshall Birmingham was
likeabl as John Brooke.
The entire production bespoke a
careful attention TO historic facts and
details that was commendable and the
little play will class as one of the best
of the kind this season. Fair sized
audiences attended

TIE BOOSTER.

The city booster is al ubiquitous animal Tie
Is often found In singleness, but thrives best in
company The union of boosters for the benefit
II the city ard the rejoicing that results from
such union are tributes to the infectious spirit
Of boosting.
Danville has Just boosted herself, and thinks
she has boosted everybody else IN her vicinity.
Far be It from us TO detract from that conviction
if us of any comfort to the militant Danvillans.
Che fact Of having started TO boost and being
satisfied with the result Is the largest factor
in panvile's cup OF bliss.
It is a good thing to boost your city-~tt Is q
tribute to It's worth and also index to your
own buoyant nature.
but what Is the underlying spirit Of the boost2
Why does a city think It a good thing to let this
boosting spirit loose? Because IT is a good spirit
a valuable element In society And If 3 city has
this element then il Is a good city. and If 1t is
a good city then it IS a good place to do business,
and good place to live.
And what does all this amount to in the end
Why this Is only advertising Advertising OF
the city and Its spirit and its products If the
city Is good city because OF It's good city spirit
and It's good products. then 1t deserves boost
and patronage. So let's boost our city

CALI. TO THE MINISTRY.

The Tjrgjnton printed yesterday clear ana
ringing call by Bishop John c. Kilgo 90 the
ministers Of the Virginia Methodist conference
OF which be is the presiding officer, 10 go into
the present campaign for Statewide prohibition
as the representatives of the Church In the great
moral conflict now going in Virginia.
Those people who question the right Of the
minister 10 participate N movement Of this
kind are far of the mark. When the leaders OF
the Church. the officials charged with the admin
istration of its spiritual and material affairs
come out clearly and strongly urging those in
their charge 10 lend their every effort to this
work There resides small right to question the
authority Of the ministry to engage in it whole
Eeartedly.
The scriptures and the Bible teaching that
would Withhold the minister from the causes OF
righteousness In the nation have yet to be pro-
dueed bishop Kllgo speaks with all the clear
ness Of certainty and the conviction Of right
when he says to the Methodist ministry of Vr,
gjnla--go forth into the field for the sake Of
the Church you serve.

THE CITY MANAGER.

News from Bristol is to the effect that the
citizens Of that locality have decided to adopt
what is known as the city manager plan-~that
u.s. to put In charge OF the administration Of the
affairs Of their city expert in the management
OF city business, and allow him to administer
its affairs as he would those of any large bust
ness concern.
The reform of city administrative methods IS
one OF the crying needs OF American municipali-
ties The basis OF this. as Of ali reform move
ments. must be an arouslng and awakening Of
the community conscience TO the responsibility
OF their positions. The monotonous spectacle OF
temporary reform movements based on some
fragrant abuse Of power by city bosses, the over
throw OF the evil influences of the city. and the
inauguration OF a new government-this is, in
turn, followed by lethargy the part of the
voters that no urging can penetrate and no need
dissipate. is a thing to which every American
municipality is accustomed. The solution of the
difficulty in some instances has been found In
the commission form of government. in others
tyethe modification OF this form into some such
system as the city manager plan.
Richmond has endeavored to meet the needs Of
her situation by the employment Of an Admins
tratve Board, This Is a step in the direction of
direct responsibility and simplidcation OF the
routine Of city business; 1t is imperfect as yet
just as any new work must necessarily be I'M
perfect In order to succeed II must have the CO.
operation and support Of the citizens of Rich

that has been taken by Stanton. with what ap-
pear to be satisfactory results. The result Of

those who are interested in the problem of city
administration.

Doubtless for the reason that Fay

a booze zone, the State officers charged
with the execution of the prohibition
law have settled down here, and with
great vim are exercising their official
functions.
But despite the fact that some sig

remains that Fayette county Is con-
spicuously better because of the Grad.
ication of the licensed saloon.
In the towns of Mount Hope, Mont.
