The Miller's Daughter, or Bound in
Honor" is the name of play to be given
by the pupils of the High School on the
evening of April 9TH. The playis meIo-
drama and one of the heaviest ever at
tempted by school. 1t opens with the
first scene of the miller's cottage, and his
daughter is driven from home because she
refuses to wed Squire Thornton, who holds
a mortgage on the little place. Following
there are the usual incidents in play of
this kind. and as is always the case, all
ends happily in the last act.
The part of Elsie, the Miller's daughter,
will be acted by Miss Julia Treu. who with
her grace and pleasing manners will make
good impression on the audience. Claude
Sipes will take the part of leading man,
and will look as handsome as could be
wished and will make good as the brave
and earnest lover of Elsie. Mountain Meg

ing, Miss Edna Gribble, as Beauty Lynn,
will be favorite from start to finish, and

in an uproar of laughter. There are 9TH
ers in the play who are equally as good,
and will have many surprises for the au-
dience. They have heavy parts and they
take them we'll.
We urge the people Of Benson to come
out and see what the boys and girls can
do. 1t will undoubtedly be an evening of
enjoyment.
