m ■ * + / * f * 3301 AT THE STAR THEATRE. i PYRAMIDS OF PAIN Boils show the blood is in a riotous, feverish Condition, or that it has grown too weak and slug gish to throw off the bodily impurities, which then concentrate at some spot, and a carbuncle Or boil is the result. To one already enfeebled by disease, boils seem to come with more frequency, causing the intensest pain and greatest danger to the already weak and debilitated sufferer. All skin eruptions, from the sometimes fatal car* bttncle to the spiteful little cat-boil, are caused by bad blood, and the only way to avoid or get permanently rid of them is to purify and build up the deteriorated, polluted blood, and counteract the humorf and poisons; and nothing will do this so quickly and thoroughly at 6.

Of the “Koyal Slavo.” which is to he presented at the Star Theatre to night, the Ashland Daily Press says: ‘ Practically every seat in the new ; opera house was occupied Monday | ! night when the curtain went up for j Gordon and Bennett's ‘A Royal Slave.’ The same would be true If the com- pany should give Ashland a return; date. ‘A Royal Slave’ Is all It Is ad vertised to be and more. Every mem- 1 her of the company is an artist. Gor-1 peons costumes, magnificent scenery,. and clever acting characterized every i scone. One of the strong features of j this company is to be found in the ; fact that in reaching the dramatic; climaxes in the play the acting is not overdone. At no time does there j seem to be a conscious effort on the part of the actor for effect. The most difficult scenes are acted with a natur al frankness and genuine earnestness that charm and delight the audience. The company is praised extravagant- | ly by all who attended Monday night’s performance.” Minstrels Monday Night. Monday night the Barlow and Wil son Minstrels will hold the boards. Concerning them the Cincinnati En quirer says: “There was a gathering of minstrel lovers that packed the Opera House to the doors last night, that assembled to pay court to Barlow and Wilson’s Minstrels, as they appeared on their annual engagement. The perform ance consisted entirely of modern minstrel attractions. The people went to witness the fin He siecle minstrels j of the season, and found them leaders by several lengths, for everything went fast enough to keep the most lively on the qui vive. Their efficient agent told the truth when he said that the company was better this year j than ever before. The performance abounds in new features, which kept ihe audience in a continual state of hilarity, the hit of the evening being | made by ‘the Great Barlow and Wil- I son.’ The vocal numbers are gems of the first water. The company is far superior to the usual standard attrac tion.” Macbeth Tuesday Night. Next Thursday night we are to have, for the first time in Gaffney, a tragedian of merit, when Mr. John Griffith will play Macbeth. The mana gement is particularly anxious that a large crowd greet Mr. Griffith as it is believed that this will be the finest attraction of the season. No play has called forth a greater variety of opinions than “Macbeth.” It has been characterized on the one hand as “the grandest conception of human genius,” on the other the learned Dr. Johnson says “it has no nice discriminations of character." Another gifted writer of the past says “the play has the power to charm and bewitch every audience from that time to this”—so the public of today may readily see that from the time of its first presentation in 1603 up to this very day—a period of three hundred years—it has been a leading subject of thought and discussion among the world’s greatest minds and the greatest actors the world has oroduced within that time have gloried in giving performances of this rugged, forceful, dominant and majes tic character. It is the greatest work of the great master of literature—the immortal Shakespeare, and the an- | nouncement of its performance will interest the best minds of any com munity and attract immense au diences of scholars, critics and lov ers of the best the theatre can possi bly offer. The eminent tragedian, John Griffith, has taken it up for his nresent season’s tour and will play it here on next Thursday evening, with all the advantages of a superb company of legitimate artists, elabo rate service equipment, electric fects, chemical illusions and all pos sible aids to a perfect performance. Special Notice. Patrons of the theatre are re quested to be in their seats not later than 8:30 o’clock. The curtain will rise at that hour promptly and those who are late will be required to take seats in the rear of the house until the act is finished. This rule will be enforced, as people entering late not only annoy those who have taken their seats, but also annoy the per formers. Please bear this in mind and do not embarrass the manage ment by making it necessary to call attention to it again.

Gaffney held a recep tion Wednesday afternoon from 3 to 4 o’clock, in honor of Mrs. Floyd L. Baker. Mrs. Gaffney was assisted in re ceiving by her sister, Mrs. Sam Hop per, Jr., who met the guests at the door and accorded them a warm wel come. After being refreshed at the punch bowl, which was presided over by Miss Myrtle Sarratt. the guests as they came were shown into the parlor where Mrs. Baker, the bride and guest of honor, awaited them to | receive their warm hand clasps and i expressions of good wishes for her future happiness. Soon the ladies were ushered into ! th6 dining-room by Mrs. Arthur Peeler, and were served in a most | pleasing manner by Miss Annie Johnson and Miss Nell Wood. The occasion was enlivened and ) the enjoyment of the guests greatly enhanced, by some instrumental mu sic rendered by Miss Eva Ross. 1 hose who had the pleasure of be- j ing present at the reception were: Mrs. Floyd Lee Baker, Mrs. L. Ba ker, Mrs. J. F. Garrett, Miss Gus Brohawn, Mrs. C. C. Harris, Mrs. L. V, Gaffney, Mrs. G. G. Byers, Mrs. J. A. Carroll, Mrs. J. T. Humphries, Mrs. J. N. Nesbitt, Mrs. W. J. Wilkins, Mrs. B. L.

She had fifteen schol ars to begin with. There will be in ; all probability as many as fifty or sixty, if all send who are entitled to. j But, unfortunately, our white people! (especially some of them) have come to the conclusion that they can live and do better in ignorance than in school. A very sad commentary on the present as well as an omen for the future of our country. Mrs. J. L. S. cooked a very fine fat ’possum yesterday. The “poor Sams” will have a bad time now. Most people are hauling their corn now. It’s very dry and is nice to handle. The crop is generally good. Four weeks from today will decide the fate of the liquor question in this county, for the present, at least. Mr. J. H. Bigham, of Sharon, came over to visit his sister, Mrs. T. J. Estes, last Saturday. As stated in our last letter, Elder T. J. Estes did not attend the meeting of the synod at Clinton last week. We were under a misapprehension about his going when we wrote. Yesterday morning we had frost and some ice and the weather has turned considerably cooler. Last Sabbath evening Mr. Gibbs Wilkins and Miss Agnes Garner were married at the home of Mr. J. G. Kendrick, the bride’s uncle. Rev. Mr. Humphries, of Union, pastor of Skull Shoals Baptist church, performed the ceremony in the presence of quite a number of the friends of the contract ing couple. Mr. and Mrs. Wilkins are members of our best and most substantial families and we wish for them long, happy and prosperous lives. With profound interest we have read Mr. E. A. Trescott’s description of “The Horse Swappers’ Conven tion.” It is certainly fine and we would be glad if Mr. Trescott would contribute a few such articles to The Ledger. It would stimulate a mania for reading that we confess doesn’t exist as it should among our people. “Georgia Scenes” in its palmiest days can’t exceed Mr. Trescott’s word painting of the “Bone Yard Conven tion,” and its attendant “knock downs,” “lock ups,” “social equality love feasts,” etc. Bully for Mr. Tres cott.
