Identity Of Two
Children Unknown

On Wednesday, December Z, two
children riding an old brown horse
appeared at the home of Mrs. j, M.
Sewell, hear SewelI's Shop, a short
distance from this city on the Win
chester pike, and asked for a drink
Of water. They we're accommodated
and after noticing that the children
we're literally worn out and almost
starved, they were asked to stay all
night. They gladly accepted and
told story Of having been put on
the horse by an uncle at South
Portsmouth, whose name they said
was Frank Blanton, and directed 10
60 to the home of man named Hat
field, who was said to live short
distance from Winchester on the
Lexington pike. The children said
they had lost their way and asked
to be taken to the home of Hatfield,
but upon locating Mr.. Hatfield, who
lived in Winchester instead of on
the Lexington pike, he said he never
heard of the children Mrs. Sew
ell then took the children home,
where she has kept them since, Tbs
children give their names as Goldie
and Ollie Blanton, and state their
ages are thirteen and fifteen, re-
spectively, although Mrs, seweIl
says they are very small for their
ages. They stated that their pa
rents, Mr., and Mrs. Frank Blanton,
who lived at South Portsmouth, are
both dead. Mrs. Sewell stated the
matter had been reported to County
Judge Evans at Winchester, who had
written the authorities at South
Portsmouth, who state that the chill
dren were never heard of there. She
says that both of the children are
very bright, but that the oldest child
has told a number of conflicting
stories Mrs. Sewell is at a loss to
know what to do with the children
and would like to hear from anyone
who knows anything as to their iden-
fifv Is

luncheon meeting at the Country
Women's Club, with 80 members in
attendance, the meeting being pre-

committee composed of Capt. G. H.

land, was appointed to confer with
the fiscal court to see if some ar
rangement could not be made where

could not be improved with mac

the people Of these sections to do

thoroughfare being built from Win
chester to Jackson.

LISTEN IRENE"

Manager Small has again demon
strated his ability to choose and
bring to Mt. Sterling the best. Not
merely good or excellent, but only
"the best" can be applied to "Listen
IRENE" Pretty girls, beautifully,
tastefully and elegantly costumed,
charmed the eye of even the most
blase; novel scenery enhanced their
beauty, while in artistic dancing
they exhibited their grace. The toe
and Hinder dances of Madame Vo-
deska were wonderful. As a comedi-
an Johnnie Getz ranks among the
first; as prince or monkey he
shone equally unsurpassed and call
ed forth roars of joyous mirth from
his appreciative audience. Lew
Nelson's contortion work could not
have been excelled, while his hand
dancing and exhibitions of dental
and oral strength are seldom equal
ed. In the second act the music of
the male quartette was most excel
lent, Ace Wingfeld's singing deserv-
ing especial mention during the enA
tire program. Nyra Brown as Irene
held the attention and admira ton
of everyone from the moment Of her
appearance. She deserved all the
praise, all the glory her advance
agent claimed for her. What high
err compliment could one bestowf A
most excellent, clean performance
merits the support of the commun-
ity, and the people of Mt. Sterling
and vicinity evinced their apprecia-
ton by attending in large numbers.
We thank Manager Small for his in
itiative in bringing a show of this
type to our town.

nence, fell the honor of the epochal
step taken in the senate, for he had
the satisfaction of introducing the
measure, and shortly afterward OF
