THE GAMBLERS.

! The Gamblers" is one Of the most pleasing and best acted plays that the Dougherty Stock Company has given patrons of the Grand Theatre during this engagement. It is a play sur rounded with naturalness. It's eli maxes are never overdrawn, and there is possible theme mingled with hu- mor and pathos which is truly inter esting.
 Anna Denison becomes engaged to Jack Diamond, gambler, while spend ing few days on the beach at St. Augustine, Fla. They are married and are living in New York when Willard Graham, a former friend of MT and Mrs. Diamonds visits them Diamond leaves home intending to go to Texas, leaving his wife with Ora ham. He arrives at the station too late to catch his train, and returns home. When he steps into the room, he finds Graham making love to his wife and trying to pursuade her to elope with him. He interferes, orders Graham to leave, and decides to go away himself, leaving his wife and little daughter.
 Years pass. Diamond is engaged in the cattle business in Mexico. He meets Frank Popen, whose wife was wronged by Graham He tells Dia- mond that Graham is in nearby city. Graham is invited to Raven Den. They agree to fight duel. Graham fires but misses, and is killed by friend of Diamonds. Diamond and his wife and child, whom he had not seen in F years, are reunited.
 Tonight the company will present The Sweetest Girl in Dixie.' The fact that Jack Denning will play the part of the negro nanny gives as- surance of a good performance.

THIRD TERM REPORT
 CATO PUBLIC SCHOOL
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 This terms work closed with a splendid record. The attendance is by far the best We have had during the school year. A half holiday was given at the end of each month to the room that had made the fewest num- Der of tardies. Mrs. Bryant's room made the best record the first month of the term, and Mr. Bryant's the second His room made only three tardies. When we take in consider ation the fact that quite a number of these pupils walk two and three miles we must admit that this is a good record.
 The number of names that appear on the honor roll this term, also ex- ceeds that of last This shows that we have been making a great progress m scholarship. We hope to make our last term the best of all, and at the end of the school year to have made "NA "Oih oo IilOiodSH anu IHilJIeSSifc that it's effect will be seen in after years, in the lives of our boys and girls.
