ADJUSTMENTS
"THE NAUGHTY WIFE"

Fred Jacksons sprightly farce COM
edy, "The Naughty Wife," was pre-
sented for the first time at. the JEFF
ferson theatre last night and revealed
those qualities which have made IL a
success in the east.
The playwright has conceived the
idea of a personally conducted elope-
ment, with the wronged husband look
ing after the details to assure the COM
fort of his arrant wife and her lover,
even placing at their disposal his coun-
try home where Their honeymoon may
be quiet and romantic Even il he
did force acceptance of the latter on
the part of the lover by pointing a
pistol at him it was but temporary
show of force To still further COM
plicate matters and make the stay Of
the couple in the country more or less
agreeable the widow who had been
discarded for the wife-the other
mans wife-appears on the scene.

The play has sparkling lines and Sit
uations. 1T is for the most part well
acted, although one must acknowledge
that stronger companies have been
seen here. Gordon Eldrid is particular

dancing is something that none other

is like moving the marble gods of the

the Community

~ "
T asst Friday 20 carloads of Alabama
~ raised cattle were shipped from
Epes, in Sumter county, to Aiken, S. c.
They made up a special train which ran
through from Epes to Aiken, passing
through Birmingham, where they at
tracted great deal of interest.
This is said to be the largest single
shipment of Alabama cattle ever made.
The best part of it, however, is the fact
that Sumter and Greene and adjoining
counties have been shipping cattle to mar
kets in other states for two or three years,
and the number and volume of shipments
is constantly growing.
Sumter and Greene are not the only
counties in the state that have gone in for
cattle and swine culture in recent years.
Reports come in, every day of hog sales
and hog and cattle shipments that in the
aggregate amount to hundreds of thou
sands of dollars in the course of few
months.

sively the past half a. dozen years than
ever before, and Alabama farmers

total being SO, 1877 bushels. Five factories
have reported yields from 1868 acres this
year.
