Manager R. H. Harriss has spared no expengo in framing this big production. / The story of the play follows closely the history 7 of Dan Boone when he invaded Kentucky, then a wilderness with Indians and ? wild beasts. When Boone's cabin burned it is done by real red skins who give their blood - thirsty yells and war dance in the reflection of the ?flames. When Boone has to fight for his life with wolves, it Is the real beasts which have been trained to attack jbim. This is one of the most daring scenes ever at tempted on any stage. Not a sin gle detail has beeh over-looked. A noted scenic artist spent several weeks at Boone's old home In Ken tucky in order to be able to repro duce .the exact atmosphere. A strong cast hafe been selected and those who witness the perform ance of this play will see a real live exciting historical drama as true to life as Is possible to produce.

J. Littleton's plant* ation, just north of .town, when the Price - Campbell cotton picker was given a practical demonstration in jthe field. It took one row at a time, and went alng as fast as . a hoorse could walk, and picked from dead stalks, ? an unfavorable condi tion ? about 86 per cent of the optton.' It la estimated that from green stalks It will pick froi$ 95 to 98 per cent of the cotton, and this can well be believed after see ing the picker at work. It was al so evident that, under the most un favorable circumstances, it beats the field hand in every way. J This demonstration was attend ed by a large number of our pro gressive planters and bustness men, who congratulated (themselves that the farmers labor troubles were to be at an end, so far, at least, as cotton picking is concerned. .Fifty Tonne Men Wanted, fifty mors young men are wanted to learn Telegraphy and accept po sitions as telegraph operators on the U A N.
