THE COMING ENTERTAINMENT.

Announcement of the coming East
ern Star entertainment at the Table =
nacle May 10, has created quite a Sir
in musical circles and the attractive
program soon to to be announced
containing as it does some of the most
popular and capable local talent is
looked forward to with much interest.
The fact that Miss Fannie Phelps is
to preside as Judge of the great Suf-
+fragette Court and Mrs. j. T. Hall is
to be the able prosecutor, not only
gives pleasing anticipation, but has
started furry among the so-called
sterner sex who tremble at this prac-
teal demonstration of the superior
ability of the female of the species"
to manage our public affairs. How
ever ii will be riot of fun from start
to finish and already the initial sale of
tickets insure that the Tabernacle will
be crowded to its doors, especially
since the price for admission has been
placed at the bargain price of twenty
five cents and fifteen cents for
children.
The second part of the evenings
entertainment will be a funny one
act piece entitled "Whiskers" and
will have for its dramatis persona
some of the most popular young men

The minstrel show, which will be
the last number on the program, will
be feast OF merriment and a round
of jolly fun.

Mineral well, owned by Mr.. Luther
H. Smithson, that has a mineral water
of the finest quality, in an inexhaus-
tible quantity, that has already won
its way into popular favor in no less
than a dozen states.
Mr.. Smithson started by delivering
the water TO customers at first in
the city, in modest way, but this
branch of his business has grown by
leaps and bounds and he now de-
livers it twice week in wagon
regularly equipped for the business.

stone. A strong stream Of water was
found that at once rose to depth OF
90 feet in the well and has so remains
ed for 10 years.
Mr.. Smithson and his neighbors
soon appreciated the medinical quail
ties Of the water, which was pleasantto
the taste and found to be very valu-
able for many ailments, particularly
stomach troubles.
In 1905 a specimen of the water
was sent away for chemical analysis
and its real value ascertained and in
1918, Mr.. Smithson, at the urgent re-
quest of many would-be patrons, put
the water on the market at prices
low enough to be within the reach of
all.
One gallon contains 1884 grains of
mineral matter 1888 grains per liter
composed of calcium sulphate, mag
nesium sulphate, sodium sulphate and
sulphate of iron (copperas). Also
small amount of sodium chloride,
'(salD and distinct traces of potassium
and lithium sulphates, strontium and
silica. II is classed as strong chaIy-
beate water. II is a distinct medicinal
water, of a sanitary condition and
safe for use in moderation. II used
too freely it becomes purgative. It
has great deal of hydrogen sulphide
in it and becomes of milky appear
ance after standing awhile, but does
not lose its good qualities for long
time. Mr.. Smithson cites an instance
Of sealed jug that was left by over
sight in a cellar for whole winter
and in the spring the water was still
good TO drink. This makes it capa-+
BILE of being shipped long distances
without losing its strength or medi-
cinal value.
Luther H. Smithson, the enterprising
owner of the well, was born in Luz
nenberg county, Va, Mar. 8, 1858. He
was one of large family of brothers
and came with the rest of the family
to this county when 8 years of age.
He has devoted his life to farming
and owns a handsome tract of farm
land in one of the county's finest ag-
ricultural sections. His children have
grown to maturity and some of them
married and Mr.. Smithson is content
eddy settled down for the ripe old age
that is characteristic of his family,
surrounded by his children and grand
children and enjoying the respect of
his neighbors and the esteem of many
friends.
In his we'll he has a source of rev.
enue that will put him on Easy street |
and be there as heritage to his pos
terity.
Mr.. Smithson is a careful business
man, liberal in his ideas, attentive to
his own affairs and devoted to his
amily, his church, his county and his
own. He is doing work all his own
n supplying distinct need ofthe city
md giving it additional fame in dis
ant cities. May the stream at the
