Turner has accepted a play, dealing as it does with the life of a woman. It is, above all, a clean play, and at no time by word or sug-: gestion does it offend. The scenes are laid in London and South Africa, j and great scope is thus given for col or and dramatic possibilities. At its first production, an able critic thus described the scene the audience was scattered a gather- ! llttve P ttre ing of dramatic critics, and many theatrical managers—cold-blooded and hardened, if you will, but to them it was a matter of business A still the laughter the lips of little children.

State Constable Seay, who has been stationed here for some weeks, went to Spartanburg Friday. Constable Seay is a careful and efficient officer and there are those in this vicinity who will remember him when they think of what they thought was theirs that he scooped. The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph C. Philips will regret to learn of the death of their little daughter, ( Odell. The little one died Friday night after a week’s illness, and was buried at Corinth Sunday. The be reaved parents have the sympathy of their friends including The Ledger. Mr. J. C. Tucker, who has had charge of the Western Union Tele graph office here for a long time, has given up his position and will leave tomorrow for Silver City, Ga. Mr. | Tucker is an efficient operator and star launched, and they were there to view it all from an artistic or a monetary point of view, respectively. At the rise of the curtain there was felt a languid feeling of interest, and che rattling of progammes was heard through the house. Miss Mountford soon appears; a silence comes over the scene as she speaks;’ then you feel the audience settling itself; the act ends, and a genuine burst of ap plause breaks out. The woman has made them feel! The curtain rises on the second act. Here is seen an improvised military hospital on the South Atrican Veldt. Here is the woman, "Ruth” tells her experience. There is an oppressive silence—the audience seems to hang on the words of the actress, and as she finishes there is a sigh of sympathy and then a hearty roundjof applause ; the act ends dramatically and almost unex pectedly, and you hear the words all about you—“fine; excellent; splen did!” From now on, all is interest,; growing stronger all the ;time, until we come to Miss Mountford’s scene] an accomodating gentleman and our with P.unice.

Barents are things most boy’s have i Throughout t0 a ^ ter them. Most girls also . Q ,i u I have parents. Parents consist of Pas and Mas. Pas talk a good deal about what they are going to do, but it’s mostly Mas that make you mind. Sometimes it is different, though. Once a boy came home from college on vacation. His parents lived on a farm. There was work to be done on the farm. Work on a farm always has to be done early in the morning. This boy didn’t get up. His sister goes to the stairway and calls: “Willie, ’tis a beautiful morning. Rise and list to the lark,” The boy didn’t say anything. Then Ma calls: “William, it is time to get up. Your breakfast is growing cold.” The boy kept right on, not saying anything. Then his Pa puts his bead in the stairway, and says he: “Bill!” ‘ Coming, sir!” says the boy. I anow a boy that hasn’t got any parents. He goes in swimming whenever he pleases. But I am go ing to stick to my parents. How ever, I don’t tell them so ’cause they might get it into their heads that I couldn’t get along without them. Says this boy to me : “Parents are a nuisance; they aren’t what they are cracked up to be.” Says I to him : “Just the same I find ’em bandy to have. Parents have their failings, of course, like all of us, but on tbe whole I approve of ’em, and I hope Court ProceedlngH. Court commenced yesterday morn- ^ ing at 10 o’clock, Judge Townsend Dr. D. P.

Then the sudden transition—from the suppliant to tbe tigress as she cries out the words: "Who.are you? Who are you?” The audience breaks throughall restraint; they applaud, they shriek their ap probation. The scene is finished in a whirl of tumultuous enthusiasm, and as the curtain falls Miss Mountford is recalled again and again. The most hardened and blase theatre-goers have fallen under the snell of tbit- woman’s magnetism, and tbe power of tbe play. Then comes the last that which is best if good boys will^continue to have ’em. WANTS HEAD FOR CHURCH. Dentist. The ■jyoiflee over National Rank. Dr. C. T.

The jury brought j earned it, Miss Mountford !” The defendant and noblest in tbe vgoman comes to the surface, and “her soul speaks!” For truly, you know that this woman has a soul—she makes you feel it. And the final curtain falls not only on a successful play, but the abso lute triumph of a splendid actress. We raise our hats and say EplMcopnlinn Orprun Doclaren That Chief (executive In Needed. In the current issue of the Church man, the leading Episcopal church pa per, published In New York city, there appears an editorial article de manding a chief executive for the Epis copal church. The article declares that a chief executive is as necessary for a church as for a nation, and it calls at tention to the fact that ‘the Roman Catholic church has a personal head, rapidly growing more representative in character, to the undeniable benefit f the Catholic cause. The article urges that Christendom should be unified and could have a head “not only without Phone No. 20.
