PEELER & LEMMOND. AN EVENING OF PLEASURE. (ieo. .1. I). Currie, iltiinoriHt an<t nriiiuatic • Kcatier, at Itiackrihurg. Manager O. A. Osborne, of the Blacksburg theatre, has secured as an attraction for next Thursday evenii.g the celebrated humorist and dramatic reader, Mr. Geo. J. D. Cur rie. The splendid schedule on the Southern enables Gaffney people who J desire to attend an entertainment at Blacash irg to leave here at 4 :20 and return after the performance, and our experience has been that the t good peopJejof Biackaburg a are Iways 1 glad to welcome those wHo come | from Gafi ey, and we feel safe in saying that Manager Osborne will look after the comfort and pleasure of all who attend. Tickets can be secured in advance by telephoning Mr. Osborne. The Columbia State has the follow ing charming notice of Mr. Currie, he having given one of his entertain- incuts in that city to an appreciative audience: “The evening’s programme was good all through. Whether in the pathetic or the humorous, iu tragedy or burlesque, Mr. Currie’s talent and his mastery of his art were strongly evidenced. The ‘light from over the range,' a story of western life, was enough to touch his interested au dience—the tension promptly relieved by the extremely funny Jim Wolf and the Cats.’ The scene from Shakespeare’s ‘Merchant of Venice,’ where first Bassauiois, then Antonia, negotiate with Shylock for a loan to Antonio, was most admirably rendered, the reader bringing out the recognized significances of the passages and I calling the listener’s attention to new | ones. Bill Nye’s ‘Fever Cure’ was very funny, the author himself, could 1 he have been present, would have felt that one of his best conceptions had really been improved upon.” Gaffney should send over a good delegation Mr. Sp«er Returned. G. W. Speer. Esq., returned to the city Friday from Columbia, where he argued the now celebrated jury law case before the Supreme Court. Mr Speer is the first attorney who sprung the question before the court here in a riot case. He was over-ruled by Judge Gage and appealed. The same question came up at the last term of the court in the Wilson case before Judge Gary and was argued by Hon. Mr Graydon, of Abbeville, for the defense and Solicitor Henry for the State, ard as will be remem bered Judge Gary declared the jury law of the State UDconstitutioual. Judge Gary’s decision created quite a sensation in the State and has held up all cases in the courts except such as have been tried by consent. The decision of the Supreme Court is ! awaited ail over the State with a good deal of interest because of its far- . reaching effects. If Judge Gary is i sustained the courts will be blocked, | until the General Assembly meets in January and enacts a proper jury law. Turner-I'ettlt. Mr. Calvin P. Turner and Miss Mamie E. Petit were united in wed lock Sunday at 11 o’clock by Rev T. J. Campbell, at his residence. Mr. Turner is a bright promising young man, a son of W. N Turner. Miss Petit is a most beautiful young lady possessing many excellent qualities, and is the daughter of Mr. James Petit. Their many friends wish them a life of sunshine. Extra! Extra! Extra!
