'.jThis season the management of that justly popular attraction annpuhces an entire new produc tion, keeping only the title and that clever comedian, Salem Tutt Whitney and his able companion in the production of continuous laughs, Homer Tutt, and of course, a chorus of dark-skinned beauties in keeping with the well established policy of having the niftiest chorus of any musical show en tour. The scenic pro duction is new and more elabo rate than ever, fhe costumes are superb creations of a master mind, and the story is built to display the best abilities of the army of entertainers with that show. ! The music is by T. L. CorwelJ, whose work is well knowrvthroughout the breadth of j the country, the story is by the | comedian himself and in origi-1 nalitv is rivalled enly by the a-j bilits '';'??.: TM ?ir. on ter-1 tainttfr, atu; mus1 liiert io ?e trrej a?\i?? nf excellence. The com- i liany claims to carry the best inging and dancing chorus in America and having held that place unchallenged in past sea sons, it is safe to say that this season the reputation will be more firmly established than heretofore. -Adv.

Mr. Tandy Williams, the popu lar porter of the Gresham hotel at Spartanburg made a flying trip to Columbia Tuesday. He was in such a big hurry that he could not find time to look up the Indicator man, but snatched time enough to stop at Pinckney's ton sorial parlor to get John Twitty to shape his hair and also to send Mr. Twitty whizzing diagonally across the street. Mr. Williams is an all-round good fellow and his many admirers were delight ed to have him for a few hours in the capital city. Down at the Union Baptist church a few nights ago, the members tendered a reception to Mrs. Lilla B. Hall, the charming, vivacious wife of the Rev. Dr.R, B Hall, the wide-awake and justly popular pastor of that church. Quite a crowd had as sembled. After remarks suited to thc occasion, by Deacon Wil son and Mrs. Fields, Prof. John R. Wilson, formally presented Mrs. Hall to the waiting friends. It was the wife of their own es teemed pastor. Mrs. Hall was received and treated as such. The delicacies which caused the tables to groan were too numer ous to mention. In the short ad dress Mrs, Hall made, acknowl edging courtesies received she gave additional evidence of her superb, innate refinement and charming manners. She may well be regarded as a distinctive addition to Columbia's colored religious and social life. The Social Corner The season of Lent has cast a gloom over social affairs, but still there were a few small en tertainments both this week and last. Miss Jackson of Asheville, and Mrs. Robert Jeffers, who was Miss Zenobia Lindsey, were j the honored guests of several functions.

Columbia has seldom had the pleasure of hearing a reader of the calibre o f Madam Day se Booker, who gave a recital at Sidney Park church iast Wednes day evening. The four selec tions that the reader gave show ed her versatility and were as follows: The Blacksmith's Story, Dun bar's Encouragement, a selection depicting a little mischievous girl, and the dramatic poem of. Itaiian life called the Confession al, The histrionic ability dis playeP by Madam Booker was markedly apparent in each selec tion. Perhaps her Negro dialect did not always ring true but any deficiency along this line was more than made up by the de lightfully humorous activity. In the "Confessional," the character Nina runs the gamut of the emotions, love, jealousy, hatred, fear, revenge, contrition all of which the artist portrayed most convincingly. Mrs. Jeffers assisted by Miss Daisy Jackson and Dr. Henry Hardy of Spar tan burg rendered several musi cal numbers that received hearty applause. SPECIAL SERVICES AT WESLEY. Last Sunday was a memorable day for Wesley's congregation and friends, because of the two interesting and unusual services, that were held in the beautiful edifice on Gervais street. In the morning Rev. C. C. Scott, the pastor, preached a spe cial sermon, the theme of which was "Housebuilding and House keeping" based on the text "Set thine house in order, for thou shalt die and not live," II Kings 20-1. The sermon was replete with wholesome advice presente* HARDT, P COLUMBIAS -^TAKI :-: HARDY, 1006 WASHIN with the literary finish for which the discourses of Rev, Scott are noted. Prof. F II- Thomas had charge of the music, which state ment is sufficient to convince one of the excellence of that part of the servico At night an unusually large congregation, consisting of rep resentatives of all denominations was present. Among the minis ters taking part were Revs. VV. D. King, J. M. Johnson* A. P. Hill, I. Keitt and John Simmons o f C amden. Speaker M. L. Smith failed to appear, hut in lieu of him, ?Mrs, Dayse Hooker made the princiyal address. rl his lady has been heard so often in lectures and readings during the past three weeks that.it is really superfluous to speok in terms of praise of her masterful discourse last Sunday night. It was the topic of conversation in Columbia next morning. The offering for the day amounted to $?M. A worn as to Rev. Scott. During his incumbency as pastor of Wes ley M. E. church, the attendance has more than trebled. Perhaps this may be accounted for, in that this gentleman is so well knfiwn in this community partic ularly to the Columb-'ans of an elder day and their descendants. Widely read, and broad in views, Rev. Scott has a mission to young men. Neqt Sunday will be a great day also. Rev. C. C. Jacobs field worker for the Board o f Sunday schools will preach at the ll o'c'ock service in the morning and address the Sunday school in the afternoon. Rev. E. B. Burrows, D. D. District Supt. will preach at night. The pasror extends a cordial welcome to the public. Notice of Opening Books of Subscription of the South Carolina Union Bank.

Prof. J. D- Baldwin departed from this world a few weeks ago and by his death his friends feel a great loss, but we feel our loss is his gain. His place is vacant in his home Which never can be filled, His smiling face we see no more Until we meet on the golden shore. We know thou art peacefully sleeping, Abel, sleep and take thy rest. We loved thee dear, But Jesus loved the best. Peaceful be thy silent slumber, Peaceful in thy grave so low, Thou no more will join our number, Thou no more our sorrow know. Dearest friend you have left us here Thy loss we deeply feel, But 'tis God that hath bereft us, He can all our sorrows heal. Yet again we hope to meet you When our work on earth is done. Then in heaven with joy to greet you, And with Jesus forever dwell. A FRIEND. Greenville, S. C , Feb 12. Johnson, 2029 Marion St., advis ! ing him of the number of shares ; desired.
