THE MYRTLE-HARDER co.
 AT DAVIS THEATRE.
Positively the Best and Most Elabor- ate Stock Company on the Circuit Stop, Look, Listen.

To what MaIlinger Brothers, manag- CTS of The Maryland theatre. Of Cum berland, Maryland, say of the Myrkie- Harder company.
 We witnessed a splendid perform ance of ''Elevating a Husband" pre- sented by the Myrkle- Harder company at Hagerstown, MT, and we personal ly wish to recommend this excellent organization and its fine plays, cast and productions to our most repre- sentative theatre goerS.
 It is seldom if ever that Me1linger Brothers go to the eXereme of endors- ing in such manner as appears above a travelling attraction of any kind But having persinally gauged the Myrkle-Harder company, they refterate traction they play on the season. This sounds preposterous, but it is a fact. MT. Harder under whose direc- ton this remarkable company is eX- plotted, is a threatrical plunger of the most pronounced type. Of course am- pie means give him this leverage, and before this season started he put near ly S10,0o0 in royalties for the produc- ing only of late New York successes then he made complete scenic pro- ductions at another added cost Of $4,- 900. Engaging the cast required much time. worry and hugh salaries, as the per sonnet embraces players who have appeared time and time again with $1.5C attractions. If the readers will get these mentionings indelbly in their minds, they will know 1t is not mere talk, that the above is the best travel ing company on tour at popular prices
 The opening play this afternoon "Mevating a Husband" was Louis Mann's starring vehicle for three sea- sons and the best play in which he ever appeared. It is filled with many surprises and startling situations while there are many chances fol good hearty laughs the intensity ano heart interest are such as to hold the audience speilbound. In brief, it tells the story of an iIliterate but shrew6 five and ten cent store fnancier wEc accumulates @ fortune. The extent ot his reading is the base ball scores 1T the news papers. He succeeds in win ming the heart and hand of 9 refined and cultured woman who attempts tc elevate him, and complications follow that are well worth seeing.
 On tomorrow night, The Girl of the Golden West, David Belasco'S wonder ful story of the West will be present ed. This play ran for two years al the Belasco theatre in New York city The Myrkie-Harder company will pro- duce it in a real BeIasco way.
 Other plays during the engagement are The Escape" Under Southern Skies,'' Stop Thief" and What Hap pened to Mary" There will be mat inees daily. Reserved seat sale noy on

EACH ONE.

In the thronged and crowded street
 What am I? But a little unit speck
 Men pass by? Nothing worth to those I meet, Yet with space for my own feet. And the right to choose my way. Claiming for my life Gods day
 Meath his sky. And the world is all for me.
 Though but one. All the best of earth is free
 Gods will be done; Air and space. and rain and shine. God has given to be mine, All his good things 1 may take. Since he gives for loves dear sake
 Every one. o! my brother in the throng.
 Have no fear; Love is never absent long,
 God is near. All his children have their share In the loving Fathers care; You and l are never lost In the crowd. Love counts no cost
 And holds each dear.

A Plea for a Sane Christmas.

Shall VIC have d safe and-3aDe Christ
mas this year, or shall the aftermath
4 he crims0ned with blood and followed
by lifelong bereavement to many?
1t is a reflection on our boosted
Christian civilization that annually
the season of the celebration Of the
advent of the Goldman, Prince of
Peace, is made by some a carnival of
lawlessness under which the record of
times by violence reaches its climax
for the twelvemonth period
Even more shocking and pitiable
than the shooting and carving among
men who deliberately arm themselves
with deadly wepons to go out among
their fellows to celebrate the season
! of peace and good will are the tragic
accidents to children, the not infre-
Guent manning and killing among
them by the toy pistols and cannon
and high grade explosives which a
selfgoYerning and highly organized
people put into the hands of these in
noconts to the peril of their little
lives and limbs and of valuable prop
erty.
1t is a lesson for the gods TO weep
over by way of illustration of the
farce in the enforcement of laws that,
while the state of Georgia by statu-
tory enactment has decreed that no
man shall carry pistol without first
having obtained license to do SO
that not only do the grown-ups carry
and display these deadly weapons
without license and with impunity. but
many of the toy pistols and cannon
openly displayed in the stores for the
temptation of children arc deadly
weapons in disguise, liable to explode
in their inexperienced hands and do
bodily damage 10 themselves and to
Others
The joys OF past Christmases have
been sadly married in this section OF
lGeorgia by distressing tragedies arts
hing from the Widespread reckless
banding of fireworks. Shall this
christmas tell similar tragic tale?
We sincerely hope not,
