School Opens.

The Iuka Grammar and High
School opened Monday morning
with a larger number of pupils en-
rolled than ever before. Quite a
number of patrons and friends
attended the opening. The de-
votional exercises were conducted
by Rev w D Mccullough of the
Methodist church. Appropriate
talks were made by J A E Pyle,
Esq. Rev. w d Mccullough and
Prof Howard. A number of songs
were sung by the pupils and in
strumental solos were given by
Miss Carmack.
Conditions are exceedingly fiat
tering fo1 a splendid years work.
We have fine corps of teachers.
All are highly educated and will
do their part. Parents are urged
to cooperate with them in their
work, and this is almost a neces-
sity for the realization of perfect
discipline and a successful school.
The great wonder to us is that
teachers will strive so earnestly to
teach the children when parents
are so often Indifferent and give
children so little attention. Join
the Parent-Teachers Association,
visit the School, urge the chill
dren to attend to school duties and
we will have the most successful
year in the history of the school.

Thirty One Years Old.

With this issue The Vidette en-
tiers upon its thirty-second year as
a newspaper and its second year
under the control and manage
ment of its present editor and
publisher. While the paper has
not been all that we desire, we
have endeavored to give you q
good, clean sheet and to furnish
weekly record of the local events
of the town and county as well
as somewhat of the news of the
outside world. 1t will be our en-
deavor in the year upon which we
are now entering to make The
Vidette a more readable and bet
ter newspaper than ever before IN
its history.
We take this opportunity ol
thanking everyone for the patron
age he, she or they have extended
us. We must say, however, that
the paper has not received the lib
eral patronage usually bestowed
upon county paper, and which
is so necessary to its success, es
pecially from the business men o
Iuka-a patronage that woulc
have meant much to us anC
to them also, for judicious
advertising in our columns viii
certainly pay the man that makes
the investment. We must have al
increased patronage to succeed
and just think what your town anC
county would be without a news
paper. Then wake up, merchant
and business men, and give you
paper the support it should have
Again thanking you, we ente
hopefully upon another year.

A Rest Room.

We again call the attention to
the need of a rest room for the
people who come to Iuka to do
their trading. Why not have a
place for the ladies where they
can rest after they have finished
their shopping. Frequently they
have to bring their children and
what relief it would be to the
tired mothers to know that they
could take them to a quiet room
and not have to stand around the
stores. Itswould cost but little to
maintain such a room and we feel
that the business men of the town
should do that much for the
people who give them their trade
and we hope to see something
done in the near future.

"SWEETHEARTS IS
DELIGHTFUL OPERA
Christie Macdonald, Charming as
the Lost Princess, Captivates
Audience at Majestic

When Victor Herbert writes the
music for an opera. one may rest as
sured that it takes more than an or
binary voice or group oil voices 10
90 justice to II. Just so with Sweet
hearts presented last night at the
Majestic with Christie Macdonald IN
the leading role.
While "Sweethearts" cannot stand
on a musical par with some of Her
berts earlier operas. II IS no less eX-
acting in the Quality OF voice required
for Interpretation. With such de-
manus. II is but natural to expect that
the principals and cast would live up
To the reQuirments. Ana they did in
every way. The chorus of Sweet
hearts stands second to none with the
possible exception OF that in the Her
oerl revival OF ROBIN Hood heard
here earlier in the season. The chorus
was in every respect worthy and capa-
nle OF presenting the music in hlgnIy
artistic manner, and Judged aione
from the STANDPOINT OF vocal ability,
was so tar above the Ordinary that
comparison is we'll nigh impossible.
''Sweethearts' is q light opera writ
ten around the life OF a lost princess.
1t seems TO be Christie MacDonald's
lot TO be ever playing such p role,
but there is no wonder to be attached
TO that, for she is ever charming in
tnat capaCltN. OT course there are a
lot of counter plots which sustain the
interest until the curtain fails; all OF
them so well woven tnat there is a
real interest, aside from the music.
Christie Macdonald supporting
cast was one of most excellent cali
ber Edwin Wilson as Franz, the
heir presumptiVe, was her leading
man. Mr.. Wilson won the audience
with his singing particularly in For
Every Lover and in The Angelus."
MIR. Wilson's voice is one OF rare beau
ty and range ana was heard to excel
lent advantage in his numbers. The
score supplied Miss Macdonald with
some excellent numbers, but she was
apparently suffering from heavy cold
which markedly affected her singing,
especially in her upper register. The
other members of the cast, notably
Echlin Gsyer as Hon. Percy Algernon
Slingsby. Ralph Marin as Mikel Mix
elovIz, Anne Bussert as Lame, Maude
Beatty as Dame Paula supported Miss
Macdonald in most commendable
manner.
All in all, "Sweethearts" was, 1t is
fair to say, the most beautifully pre-
scented, well sung. operetta presented
here this season.
