"Thc Martyrs Of the Alamo"

A play Of considerable educational
value as well as of thrilling interest is
The Martyrs Of the Alamo" 1t is a
historical drama telling how in the
early days the courageous but much
outnumbercd defenders of the Alamo
were slaughtered and how other
Americans avenged their death by de-
feating the Mcxicans and winning the
independence Of Texas. Some Of the
historical characters that appear in
this stirring border drama are: Silent
Smith (Sam DeGrasse); Santa Anna
(Walter Long,; Sam Houston (Tom
Wilson,; David Crockett CA. D. Sears) ;,
and James Bowie (Alfred PageU. Sam
DeGrasse Is the cool, crafty scout to
the life. He Is the leading light in the
defense Of the Alamo, and when it's
fall is imminent he Is chosen to take
the hazardous trip through the innum
cradle MeXicans besieging the place.
After warning Houston, DcGrassc is
shown dcceiving Santa Anna, the Mex
lea Dictator by well-fcigncd mita-
ton Of q deaf and dumb man. His in
formation leads to a successful attack
on Santa Annas forces by the Amcri-
cans under Houston. Walter Long
gives a realistic portrayal Of the cruel,
vain, but cOwardly dictator. The trag
cdy OF the fall and massacre Of the
Alamo defenders is lightcned by
an old soldiers daughter (Juanita

Thou art gone, we miss thee, father
But we know you are free from care
And when here our work Is ended
We will meet you over there.

And no one can ever tell
How 1t filled our heart with sadness
When we said our last farewell.

Cleft Out Last Weekly

Cleft Out Last Week)
Lisbon, April l0.-IThe farmers are
we'll up with their work, great deal of
corn planted and up, good many ready
to plant cotton seed, but they are wait
ing until the ground gets warmer; the
small grain looks fairly we'll in places.
The farmers have used less fertilizer
this season than usual. and we think
that the farmers are going into stock
and hog raising and plant less cotton
as the years roll by. The farmers
know by actual experience that they
can make more by making their own
food stuff, and if that would reduce
the cotton crop down to 100000 we
would realize more money than we
would if we got 100000.
We are glad to see so many out for
the different Offices, as it will give ey-
cry man chance to vote for the man
of their choice. Mr.. Cooper is a man
that we are very much interested in
and we hope to see him governor of

far in its attack on President Justice

directors Of the league be asked to
suggest some plan to quel the rebel
lion. Upon this solicitation, President
Justice has taken up the matter with
the directors.

prints story telling OF the events
that led I'D to the step being taken
and also a letter explaining Clinton's
position, sent to Justice. This fol-

slanderous statements about the Gen.

against the head Of the league.

Justice is advised to take some action
against The Davenport Times, which
