from Col. w. |. Swain, of the Swain
Show Co., a contribution which he
generously promised upon the oc-
casion of his recent engagement in
Lexington. In sending the check,
Col. Swain wrote briefly Of his plans
for next season, when his repertoire
will likely include a dramatization

Wright novels. Col. SWANS shows
are clean and we'll liked by the peo-
pie. He has come to be regarded
as one of the fixed habits Of Lex

watched his son, Kennedy Swain,

into youth, in whom it is safe to
predict will soon be a feature come
dian equal to the famous Mr.
O'Keef, whose work he is closely
following. Col. Swain is due the
thanks of the entire community for
helping in a cause which appeals to
both the civic pride and the affec-
tons Of the whole town.
