For some time preparations have been going on for the presentation of “Isabella” by local talent under the direction of Mr. O’Bryan. Mr. O’Bry an has presented this opera in a num ber of places and has met with suc cess wherever the attempt has been made. The Rock Hill correspondent of The Columbia State has the follow ing to say of the presentation in that city: “There has never been a better all round home-talent performance given in this city than ’Isabella.’ All the principals were everything that could be wished. Miss Lucy Rider, as Joanna, the daughter of Ferdinand and Isabella, executed her role in the most pleasing style. She is a person of very pleasing and attractive iter- sonality witli a delightful voice which is always true, and in her solos and duet work with Mr. O’Bryan she won several encores. “Mr. Allen D. O’Bryan,-as Colum bus. was splendid. He is thoroughly at ease and graceful on the stage and his voice, a rich and full baritone, re ceived hearty applause. “The choruses, too, were of the best talent in the city and well trained, and as the music was bright and catchy, they added largely to the en tertainment..” The following is from the Salisbury Sun correspondent concerning the presentation in that city: “Tlie May Fiesta of the Daughters of the Confederacy opened brilliantly last night with a presentation of the opera of “Isabella,” which was so suc cessful as to surpass all anticipations, and to delight the large audience as sembled. Too much praise cannot be given to the manner in which this gay musical farce, full of tuneful melo dies, mirthful absurdities and bright pictures for the eye, was put on the stage. The excellence of the chorus and the admirable drilling evident in the different specialties—the realistic corps of newsboys, the gay Casino and the enchanting children— volumnes for the skill and of the director, while the solo were more than well sustained. Mr. Taylor himself takes' the title roll, playing it effectively and singing with a voice of wonderful power and compass. Miss Julia Crouch made a lovely Joanna, ami by her graceful aciing and sweet singing charmed ev ery one. The duets between herself and Columbus (Mr. O’Bryan) were so delightful, both in melody and in ren dering as to make it a matter for re gret. that they were not more vigo- rouslv encored. Mr. O’Bryan’s voice is particularly fine. The singing and acting of Messrs. Rideoutte and Bev erly. as Treasurer and King, was ad mirable and the whole performance was not only creditable in the highest degree to every one concerned, but it was a matter of general remark that it bore comparison well with the pro fessional presentations of these popu lar comedies. There can' he no doubt that the second presentation of the opera will command an overflowing house."

Citizens Hold Meeting and Request Petitioners to Withdraw Petitions. Forty of Gaffney's business men at tended the meeting at the city hall last Friday to discuss the matter of a new depot. Several speeches were made in reference to the several peti tions that are being circulated asking that the railroad put the depot at dif ferent sites. The concensus of opin ion seemed to be that it would not hasten the erection of the depot for our citizens to be divided on Its lo cation, and with a view toward stop ping these petitions a committee was appointed to confer with the gentle men circulating, them and try to prevail upon them to withdraw them. One side agreed on the instant to withdraw their petition, but the other side was not so inclined, so a com mittee consisting of W. J. Wilkins. Dr. W. C. Hamrick and Ed H. Decamp i was appointed by Chairman J. B. Bell to wait upon the interested parties, j The committee performed its duty Saturday night. The result of the con ference was that it was agreed to; hold another public meeting today at 12 o’clock at the city hall to further 1 discuss the matter and to see if some-j thing cannot be done to bring the i different factions together. Every | business man in Gaffnej is urged to be present. This matter of a new de pot L of vital importance to Gaffney, and as a consequence a large crowd should he present. A Small Fire. Saturday morning about 3 o’clock the sleeping city was aroused by the shrill notes of the fire whistle. The cauSe of the alarm was the discovery that a negro restaurant near the lime house was on fire. The fire compa nies turned out promptly and soon had the fire out, but not before it had gutted the building and destroyed nearly all of its contents. There was a barber shop in one room of the building, and the barber was sleeping in it at the time of the fire. He saved his chair, a bedstead, and a few*small articles; but everything in the restau rant was lost. The building belonged to M. L. Ross and was not insured.
