fliams' and Walkers Musical Com
pany. has an enviable record and the
Louisville morning paper OF March 20,
1909, describes accurately who she is:
Mrs. Ada Banks of Hopkinsville is
making an enviable reputation with
Williams & Walkers famous musical
comedy In Bandana Land" Mrs.
Banks has ascended in one year from
1.-THE juvenile parts in the company to
the orbit ot genuine stardom. She is
understudy for the noted Aida Over
ton Walker and has wonderful talent
and SURPRISING ability.
Her conspicuous resemblance to
Mrs. Walker made her especially val
liable as an understudy, but there are
many critics who think that she per-
forms equally as well, If not better,
than her chief. Mrs. Banks dances
superbly and at the close of the first
act in "Bandana Land" usually re-
ceives SO many curtain calls that Bert
Williams himself comes on the stage
with her to satisfy the audience.
To know what this talented woman
is doing for herself one must remem
kber that there is as much difference
between the Williams & Walker COM
bination and all other colored shows,
but one, as there is between the pre-
cession of the equinoxes and the capi-
corn. The organization carries so
people and appears only in the best
1 houses In the country. In Louisville
they appeared at the Masonic theater
recently and broke the record for at
Tendance in that city. This Is the
sort OF company that Mrs. Banks is
distinguish he'd herself in. She receives
numerous press notices and is delight
ing audiences everywhere.
Mrs. Banks was formerly Miss Ada
Fleming and is distinctly Christian
county product. She was born at La
fayette, in this county. attended
school al NJ & F. college and Roger
| Williams and was a fine musician
while here. She was married to Mr.
Arthur Banks, also of this city, who
died a few years ago at Chicago. Her
mother, Mrs. Fleming, lives on East
First street. and recently when the
| Williams & Walker company appeared
in Louisville Mrs Banks came to this
city to visit her mother and friends.
While here she sang in Virginia
street Baptist church.
| Her successes, which are increasing
all the time. are the source of pleas
ure to her legion of friends in this
city
When asked about whether she ever
INTENDED to follow the dramatic and
musical Art again, Mrs. Stewart re-
piled: "No. but shall teach or rather
assist any worthy boy or girl who
cares to slearn the profession Mrs.
Stewart exhibited contract (un-
signed). sent to her by the Orpheum

The Cotton Crop

The Senath Commercial Club
of Senath, Mo. writes to the
Courier and others as well ask
ing people to buy each a bale OF
cotton or as many bales as he OF
she can handle. Southeast Mis-
souri, has raised sixty or seventy
thousand bales of cotton of 500
lbs. per bale this year and the
market is quiet with the pros
poets bad for the raise to hold
the crop for a demand. They
ask that each person buy as
MANY bales as possible at 10
cents the lb. and hold it until the
price on the market goes to 10
cents or more. The bales will
cost $4,000 each. They say next
year the cotton-growers are go
ing to help bring up the price by
planting a small acreage but the
purchase means a wait of a year
of more for the ten-cent price.

Quoted a revival for fortnight.
He says that for the entire two

much headway. As a conse-
quence he did not meet with the
results from his work that he
had expected. He left here
Thursday morning for Whiting,
Ind, where he will minister and
also attend the university at Chi,

Ocean Traffic Resumed

After several weeks suspension
ocean liners have begun to carry
our freight from N. Y. to Liver
pool and in a few days will be in
operation between practically all
ceEntries and this, except Ger
mREy, whose coasts are block
adedby Great Britain.
II is apparent that the war in
Europe will create an American
Marine for US and more than
double our commerce with other
countries. especially with South
America whose trade England
came very near to monopolizing.
Securing this trade our products
will not only always have a ready
market, but prices will be sus-
tanned as they have been before
for farm products. 1t means a
lot to both producers and con-
sumers here.

War and Rains

The Macon Times prints a
story that may have something
to do with the explanation of the
recent torrent of rains. The
Times man says that before the
actual hostilities commenced
some veterans of the Civil war
stated it was their experience
that after a hard battle and
hard firing, heavy rains were al
most sure to follow. They think
that the recent battles in Europe
are responsible for the heavy
rains here and say that if watch
is kept of the dates on which
there was heavy fighting the
heavy rains would be found to
coincide with these. If this be
true then we all agree that war
should cease.

Quail in Town.

The call of a quail, the kind of
a call the bird makes when a
flock is scattered and the indivi-
duals want to get together again,
was heard in town about 6 p. m.
Tuesday near the Coleman Hotel.
1t proved to be a cook quail
which at first alighted in front
of the Dameron garage and then
walked across the road and flew
into a tree just west of the livery
barn near the hotel. The bird
was calling loudly but it got no
answer. How it managed to be
separated so far from the other
members of the flock is a ques-
t!on unless, which is probable,
someone has been shooting at the
bunch and frightened the lone
bird so badly that it flew into
town.

He Needed Food

A Courier reporter met a man
who was hungry, Tuesday morn
ing. He had come from a home
where there was a pile of wood.
He asked the reporter if he
knew where there was someone
who had something he could do
to earn some food. "I'm
hungry, " the fellow said. "Tm
hungry and have got to have
something to eat. | don't want
it unless | earn it but there
seems to be nothing for a man to
do to get something to eat"
He said he had gone into several
places where he saw woodpiIes
and thonght he would get a
chance to work for something to
eat. He said he had been in the
northwest and that there were
10 men to every lob there. 1t
was as bad there as here. He
said he had a family in St. Louis
and was trying to work his way
there. He saw a house nearby
where there was another pile of
wood and left for that place to
try again. He was not a hobo,
just a man in hard luck. He
didn't ask for money or for
something for nothing. He
wanted to earn something to
eat.
