ABJBEVILLE AFTER TROLLEY. Big Meeting to be Heid In Interest of Abbeville-Easley Interurbnni. Abbevillo, Feb. 27.--A big railroad meeting has been called to be held in Abboville on March 4th next, when plans will be completed and money raised for the building of the first section of the *I'asley to Abbeville railroad. All the stores and manu factuiring plants are going to *be closed for the day, and every business man in Anderson and all elsewhere interested in the project, will be asked to be .present. Between $75,000 and $100,000 will be raised, all of which will go to the building of the line between Abbeville and Antreville. The .peopJe of Antreville and along the route between there and Abbeville are going ahead, too, to raise their pro rata share in order to meet the Ab beville men half way. It has boon suggested, and the cir porators have been favorably impress sd, that all the money raised in a city for the road should be spent on the line being built out of the city in which it is subscribed. For instance, If Abbeville raides $100,000 all of this mnoney should be spent on building the road eiut of Abbevilie, and in that way the various towns will be benefited hemselves by their own contributions.

The appearance of Ihoads' Ma rionette Theatre at the opera House starting Thursday, March 5th will be hailed with delight by the children as well as the older folks. It is a real novelty, a miniature stage is place upon the regular stage of the opera house. The audience, orchestra and players on this mimic stage are all marionette ilgures operated in a manner that makes them life-like. The mechanism which makes so many of the figures in motion at one time is most cleverly arranged and the comedy situations provoke continuous laughter. The 'marionette theatre is generally credited with being an en tertainment for chilaren. which it Is, but the grown-ups like it mighty well, too. This attraction, which appears Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week is a reproduction of a modern theatre, showing the stage perform ance, a complete orchestra, an audi ence, private boxes with occupants. The stage performance represents a min:trel first part, and novelty acts by the little a:anikins. The act rep resents a modern up-to-date theatre in its every detail. The prices will be 10e and 20c.
