AT THE OPERA HOUSE. The CresGent Comedy Company One c the Best on the Road -Presents Fine Performances to the People of Union. Tlie Crescent Comedy Company has been ploying to a full liousi every night this week. It is unani rnously agreed '?v the play goeri that die Crescent Comedy Company is the best on the road. This com pany would do credit to Madisot Square Mr. Daly or Sullivan, man agers of troupes now travellinj al 1 '1 ' ' ' j vurougn mo south as high class the atrical performances. The characters in the Crescent Comedy Company are perfect artistt in their every role, comedian, trnge dian and melodramatic, rivaling many of the so ..called stars of the stage, possessing rare intellectuality and refinement. An interesting, instructive ane very attractive feature is the moving pictures, as is also the amusing laughter-producing songs, jigs and jokes between the acts. Altogether there is no interval in the performance at all calculated to weary the audience. The ladies of this company are perfect pictures of health and beauty, without the necessity of a stage makeup, and if there be poetry in a woman's smile, then every smile is a poem. Each woman is: A grand olympic creature, Heaven's mould in form and feature, Whose rosy lips are banks of blisses, Where to plant and gather kisses. Thursday night by special requcsl they will play Nell Gwynn, Friday night Dora Thome, Saturday night Nick Carter, a detective: one ol the adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Our Jonesville Letter. Joncsville, March 12th.?Last week was a poor week for a newspaper correspondent at Joncsville, for there was nothing turned up tc ( give him a chance to use his quill, so my letter this week will necessarially he short. Today is a fine spring day and all kinds of work is lively. The guano wagons are moving the stufi quite lively today. Gardeners arc busy planting the seed for spring vegetables. At the Presbyterian church here yesterday evening steps were taken to unite this church with the old Fair Forest church, which has sold out the old church and grounds from the fact that the country around the old church has become depopulated, and the church was almost isolated from the town 01 country. The church at Grendall being in the same condition voted yesterday to unite with the churcli here also and the three will be merged into one church, provided the plan is approved by the Presbytery which meets this spring. Fail Forest church, being the parenl church from which the others , sprang, it will retain its name as the groom, and the others, being as ' brides, will abandon their names, and the church hero will assume the name of the Fair Forest cliurcn 1 Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Chambers, ol j Union, visited the family of Dr ! M. \V. Chambers yesterday. I Messrs. George Brown and Ton ' Wilkins visited their old home a1 Ravenna yesterday. Mr. J. B. Foster spent last week in North Carolina about Forest City on business. The Jonesville Guards were dis banded a few days ago of their own volition. Revs. D. E. Camak and A. A. James filled their appointments here yesterday morning and evening. Mr. R. A. Horn, of Union, is visiting relatives in town. Mrs. S. A. Porter spent last week in Union with her brother, Mr. P E. Pant. Tklki'Hone. A Small Fire. Last Saturday afternoon between 3 and 4 o'clock Mr. Walter Sanders i whilo standing in front of the court house door noticed that a vcrj i black and considerable vqjumo ol smoke was coming from a chimnej and roof of the old house on Main street next to Mr. Robert Foster'f i dwelling known as the old Norrn i nr (iroor bonao Aftan - w. ..wmwvi m tv>i u 1UTV 11J 111 utes Mr. Banders saw the roof blazt 1 in one or two places not far frorr i the chimney. He gave no alarrr but ran down there, went up stairs and knocked a hole in the overheat ' plastering, got on top and "with t bucket or two of water put out th< 1 fire. If Mr. Sanders had not seer it when he did there would havi J been, no doubt, quite a dcstructiv* fire as the dwelling houses are clos< together thero and the old house ii a two story building. This hous< ! is occupied by two families of col ' ored people and tho women wert ' ironing clothes at tho time the roo took fire. ri "?'V - . . FARMERS, TAKE WARNING! if Read and Profit by the Letter From Mr. Wm. V. King. The following very interesting letter from Mr. Win. V. King, superintendent N. Y. cotton exa change, was received by Mr. Richard Cheatham, secretary of the Southern Cotton Association: 7 Mr. Richard Cheatham, secretary, Southern Cotton Association, Atlanta, Ga. Dear Sir:?Your favor of the 19th instant is received. Thanks ' for President Jordan's cotton statistics, etc., which give the facts ^ clearly and intelligently. } In my opinion the coining planting season will prove to be the most , trying if not the most critical in the experience of southern cotton grow\ crs. Trying bccanso so many believe because there are many who I believe 10 or 10 1-2 oents will prove so serious a temptation to the p plantar that he will put every availI able if to in cotton. This opinion , is not confined to this section of the country alone, but is endorsed by , many of the good people of the south, not planters of cotton I am glad to say. It will indeed prove a critical sea, son for the planter and for the en. tire south should thff temptation to { over-plant in cotton be carried out. The years of splendid work of your association together with that of others who have co-operated, will be swept away, and a condition of servitude for the planter will be reenacted with its consequent G cents or 7 cents for cotton. This is not an extreme picture. ' It is certain to occur unless the ; planters stand solidly together and 1 for their own protection diversify the planting, putting in a moderate acreage only in cotton. If the planters will not protect themselves in a matter of such vital interest, to whom can they look for help? rw?; i.r i ? ?1 vviouiiiij iiui iv? vuu UUJIT llIKl II1C consumer. , To sum up the matter, the situation for weal or for woe, for 7c or . for l'2c is entirely in the hands of the planter. In a brief interval of [ time the world will know whether . he has proven false to himself or ' has had the courage and manliness > to resist the temptation which now r threatens to wrest from him the control of the situation. Yours truly, i Wm. V. King. 1 Mr. Crawford Corrects False Rumo,s. > | To the editor of The Times: In last week's issue of Progn ss \ the following announcement was , made: I "The first announcement for alderman is Mr. James II. Schop1 paul, whose card appears in this J issue of Progress, lie wants to represent Ward 1. Rumor has it | that Mr. James G. Long, Jr., may he in the race, and that Alderman ' J. W. Crawford docs not want the \ honor again." ' The statement that "J. W. Craw' ford docs not want the honor again" | published on mere rumor does me ! an injustice and is calculated to '. mislead my friends and give them an opportunity to pledge themselves to some other candidate before they learn that they have been deceived. I do not think it is fair to say that any incumbent of an oflice "does not want the honor again" unless the information comes directly from the party concerned. I desire to correct any false impression which may have been made by saying that a number of the voters in Ward One have urged me to stand for re-election and I will do so and I will appreciate the votes of all who are pleased with the record I have made during the term now expiring. I have nothing hut the kindest feelings and words for the other candidates who may ' oppose me. Very respectfully, J. W. Ckaw I OKI).
