DcPhs Duct) “THE BURGLAR." He Will Be at the Opera House Mon day Night. Manager DuPre has been so fortu nate as to secure ‘‘The Burglar” as the next attraction at the Opera House. He will be here in all his viilianary next Monday night. To lovers of a beautiful play The Ledger can conscienciously recommend ‘‘The Burglar,” us the writer witnessed a production of it several years ago in Columbia. It is pronounced us being one of the best attractions on the road, and at that time it well sus tained that reputation. One reason why Mr. DuPre was able to secure this attraction was because the com pany was prevented from keeping their dates further south on account of the yellow fever, and they prefered to give Gaffney a date rather than do nothing. The story deals of an unfortunate man who being thrown upon the cold mercies of the world finally falls so low as to commit burglary in the home of his wife who, believing him dead, hud married u wealthy gentle man and was living in luxury. The intruder disturbs the peaceful slum ber of his own bright little daughter, and she, in childish innocence, con verses with him and wins him from his evil way of living. In the finale all turns out well and the burglar is restored to his rightful position | in society. Manager DuPre should be encour aged in his efforts to give Gaffney good plays, and those who wish a treat should see ‘‘The Burgler,” Monday night. 1 have seen "The Burglar” and can truthfully say that it is the best play of the kind I have ever witnesed ami advise all who wish to see a good play well renderea to attend Monday night. Paul V. Gakfney. Karl, the Peddler. Charles A. Gardner and hi.s talent ed company presented ‘‘Karl, the Peddler,” to a small but delighted audience, on Monday evening at the Opera House. It was by fur the best piece of dramatic work the writer has ever witnessed in this city. .Mr. Gardner himself is a star and Ins adaptation of the young and hand some German peddler was a magnifi cent piece of stage work while his singing and dancing was great. The support, too, was good. Every mem ber seemed to have been selected es pecially for iiis or her part. The singing of the ladies was well re ceived, and they were recalled sever al times. The audience was not what it should have been, and those who love good acting, singing and dancing, and did not witness, "Karl, the Peddler,” missed the best show that lias been to Gaff-iey this sea son so fur. — — »-■ Death of Mrs. Bailey.

The Gaffney Light Infantry at the State Fair. On Tuesday, the Hth inst., the Southern left one of its handsome vestibule cars on the side truck for the use of the Gaffney Light Infantry. At 11 o’clock, a. m., Wednesday a band of forty-four congenial hearts got aboard ami made a rapid transit to Columbia. The boys then fell into lino and marched up Main Street to Fair Grounds in good .style, doing credit#to themselves as well as their leaders. They compared well in every particular with the rest of South Car olina’s noble boys and were commen ded by the commander of the State troops as having excelled them all in good behavior. Fair ladies of fine judgement said that they were by far the best looking set of boys on the field. They took part in the military parade Thursday and were the recipi ents of many compliments. Friday morning they stacked arms in front of the Globe Furnishing Store to breakfast at a restaurant next door and while there the ladies of the dry goods house presented each with a beautiful button hole bouquet. The boys then marched in line style to board the train for home, so dear to them all. They had a delightful trip, espe cially the chaplain, who was afforded the pleasure of meeting many of his old acquaintances which he had not seen since he left the Seminary. Ho says t e hopes to have many more such pleasant trips with the boys. Captain Beli can feel a just pride in his company. Considering the length of time they have been organized they were the best drilled company at the fair. Sargeant Gaines was compli mented as being the best drilled man in the procession. All in all our boys did nobly. —..... .. » - — You can’t afford to risk your life bv allowing a cold to develop into pneumonia or consumption.
