Pheeters of NatcIe.., both Of whom
are fondly remembered by many old

end by reason Of unusual grace anI
skill is already making quite q name
for herself in her chosen profession,
her toe dancing being exceptionally

Much anxiety has been felt in this
community all the past week for
Hackley Scott, who underwent op-
GRAFTON for appendicitis at the Nat
chez Sanitarium. Hackley was SEEM
ingly quite well before noon last
Saturday but during the afternoon
was seized with great pain in his
side and suffered so intensely that
q phyician was called, who immedi-
ately pronounced it acute append
citis and urged that he be taken to
Natchez at once for operation, which
was done and operation was per-
formed soon after arrival, that night.
We were greatly relieved to learn
that the operation was successful, but
for some time reports as to his con-
dition were not the best and he did
not rest as well az was hoped. To-
ward the weekend though better
news comes, with more COM
forting assurance of his early conval-
essence. Hackey is son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. W. H. Scott, for many years
residents of Tensas parish. but now
residing in Mississippi, and lives here
with his brother, Mr.. J. Wesley
Scott, and attends the st. Joseph
High School, where he is very pop
ular alike with faculty and pupils,
and the sincerest hope is entertained
by all friends that he may soon be
fully restored to health.
Miss Irene Bewley, reader and
story teller, representing the White
& Myers Lyceum Agency Of Kansas
City, was a visitor to st. Joseph
this week and gave a most excel
lent reading at the Blackman The
atre on Thursday night, which was
enjoyed to the fullest by al who
we're present. Il was unfortunate that
The attendance was not larger, for
at least two reasons. Those who
iidn't attend missed q treat, not to
be had often, and the indifferent |
support affected the receipts I'D
versely, absorbing all proceeds from
,ale Of season tickets to date, which |
means that unless the attendance is
better at the next number \ defieit |
will be caused, which will mean that |
IN assessment on the several gentle |
men promising the guarantee will Of |
necessity have to be made. Miss
Bewley's program was well selected |
md beautifully rendered, evidenciny |
ong and careful training and the |
possession Of unusual -histrionic tai |
snt. She is quite the peer Of any Of |
her profession and better amusement |
in her line cannot be promised.
Numbers to follow will be along |
,ther lines which we sincerely hope |
will be shown greater appreciation
'y the amusement loving publ: and |
bat appreciation evidenced by great
n attendance, else as stated a dis. |
agreeable duty will fall TO somebody
% make up the shortage.
