February 20th. ‘‘The Sweetest Girl in Dixie — Tuesday, February 26th. Lynne. East Lynne, as presented by Miss Marion March and her company Wed nesday night at the Star Theatre, was very good indeed. The ■'york 01 the performers, notwithstanding the poor house, was far above that of the average one night stand com panies playing in towns the size of Gaffney. The fact that stout-hearted people were moved to tears by the realistic work of the actors and actresses is sufficient to warrant us in saying the worb was well done. Its a Pity they did not have a larger house. As we have had occasion to say before, it seems that our people are unable to diseriminate between the good and the poor shows. We hope to have this company h^re later this season in repertoire. —> Two hundred years ago the inhabi tants of Oboramagau, a small village in Bavaria, made a vow that if plague which was then raging be lift-d they would thereafter every ten years perform in dramatic form the story of Christ’s life and suffering. The pleague at once abated and in conse quence the peasants of that town have made the name of Oberatnagau famous the world over by their wonderful production of the Passion Plav or “ r ih: Life of Chrst.” every ten years. This will be exhibited tn moving pictures and an interestns lecture at the Star Theatre tomor row night by the well known man agers. Irwin & Steel Cpie Read. Next Wednesday night Gaffney will have the opportunity of bearng one of the most famous men in America—Opie Read. Mr. Read is a Southern man. a newspapei man by profession, but. later developed into an author and his books have made him famous. Simply to give an idea as to what he Is thought of as a lecturer we give the following press comments. Opie Read is especially well known, not only as an author and entertain er. but as a newspaper man. he hav ing been a leading writer on the Chicago dailies for years. In South ern and negro dialect he Is certainly a master, and each of his numbers along these lines was perfect in Itself, while the encores that he responded to were equally as good.—Steven’s Point (Wis.) Gazette. A,large audience, composed of the best citizens, assembled last evening to hear Opie Read, the novelist and story-teller. The distinguished gen tleman was given a hearty welcome. The entertainment w f as delightful all the way through, and the audience was enthusiastic.—Cincinnati (O.) Equirer. With Mr. Read’s work most of his auditors and of our readers are fami liar. He mines in/the depths of hum-’n nature and brings to light its choicest gems. There is a truth in his sketches that forces the admis sion from the reader that they are human nature boiled down. Would that we had more such entertain ments in Davenport, and that such preachers of the new gospel of truth and cheerfulness and love were never without an auditory, bounded solely by the limits of the hall in which thev bpeek!—Davenport (la.)

The fire alarm sounded Wednes day at 11:40 and the fire department responded promptly. The building on fire was the five room cottage be longing to Mr C. W. Durham, locat ed at 1130 Limestone street, and used as a dwelling by Mr. Durham. Fortunately the fire was discovered early, and while the roof of the house was completely destroyed, still the prompt work of the fire department saved the main part of the building. Almost all the furniture was remov ed. hence was not damaged by fire. The damage is conservatively esti mated at $200, with no insurance. Officer Henry Lockhart started out with a petition yesterday morning soliciting funds with which to assist Mr. Durham to repair his house. Mr. Durham Is getting up in years and being a man In humble circumstances the loss fell quite heavily on him. Fire Insurance!
