The Hamilton. Iasley PLAYERS.

The Hamilton Lasley Players
The Hamilton-Lasley Players open
ed their engagement in Union City
under canvas last Monday night with
large audience and one of the most
delightful bills.
1t was the MAN and the Maid, :"
Sol Smith Russell comedy, former
ly known as "a Bachelors Ro-
NANCE" 1t was one of those beauti-
full pastoral plays, breathing limo
cence and purity, flowers, meadows,
brooks and gamboITng lambs.
Russell was the dean of type of
the drama which reflected his own
quaint personality He was single
star in his armament, and "A Bache-
lor's Romance" was one of the We
hicles in which he gave to the world
an expression of the higher and
loftier attachments in drama.
1t was notable that in the life of
never sought the subterfuge of
doubtful suggestion in word or act
before the footlights. His plays and
his players lived in an atmosphere
altogether free from impure infiu-
ences.
His humor came bubbling up like
an everlasting spring of sparkling
water nestled in the hills of quaint
old settlement.
1t was just such play as this
and the memory of just such an actor
that Mr.. Hamilton and his COPPER
formers presented to the audience in
the tent Monday night.
Mr.. Hamilton essayed the role of
David Holmes, and he did 1t with the
utmost fidelity to the true traditions.
His ward, Miss Sylvia. was in the
hands of an accomplished and at
tractive young woman. She might
have, but for the intervening years,
or Bertha Creighton, who both play
ed the ingenue part to Mr.. Russell's
David. And then the Miss Clemen-
tina of the evening, whose character
work is true to the best conceptions.
None who remembers Russell can
forg t Fannie Addison Pitt and her
Miss Clementina. She practically
made a personality of the part, and
our performer here has evidently
been trained in the same school.
David Holmes brother, Gerald,
was another good rendition in the
hands of an accomplished stage ia
vorite in presence and in command
of dramatic essentials. The Martin
Beggs of the evening was another
good part well performed. These
character parts have formed the
cess. They are the substance al
most of many good plays. Miss Las
ley's Helen LeGrand was another
good character, as well as the rest
of the cast.
The specialties included, of course,
the Lasley's, musical artists and
comedy dispensers, who are prime
favorites in Union City.
According to Mr.. Hamiltons an
nouncement the repertoire of the en-
tire week are royalty bills which are
seen here for the first time, and
everyone a popular success.
Popular prices rule, and the tent
and seating accommodations are
first-class.

Memory of Iona Hicks.


In honor and respect
She was loved by all;
None spoke but to praise
And her character extol.
Many her friends,
A place in her heart;
A smile of pleasure,
Twas ever her part
To show how she loved them
From beaming eyes
AS only a true woman,
So gentle and wise.
Our hearts TO uplift
In sunshine she said
Father, mother, sister,
My life is not dead.
In yonder world, loved ones;
/ hope you to see.
Onward and upward
May your efforts be.
Never faltering, ever
For Jesus to live;
At last to be gathered
In heaven received.

F. E. Quinn, superintendent of

us to state that the exchange of
electric light globes will be discon-
tinued May 1, 1918. Only Gem
globes have been exchanged. 1t has
been the custom for a number of
years to return the old, burned out
globes of the Gem make and get
new ones. Since this custom was
inaugurated the Mazda globe has
come into general use and the Gems
are being discarded. It was decided
therefore to discontinue buying and
exchanging Gems.

Leo Washin gton, age about thirty
years, lost his life in the Mississippi
river. late Thursday afternoon when
a Sinton transfer line truck plunged
into the waters 200 yards west OF the
covered bridge on the dixie road to
Hamilton.
Washington never rose to the sur

in the river bed. In the truck with
him at the time were Robert Weldon,

tfnir Robbins, $50 Johnson street All

Three Men in Seat
The truck cab is just visible on the

The three men were sitting in the
drivers seat when the truck veered
TO one side of the road. Washington
was driving, according TO a story
