Tbe narray-Hartt Company,
The Murray-Hartt Co. played
to an nnuaaally good house Mon
day night and if we are to judge
from the manifestations, the au
dience was well repaid for its
pa' - go. There was almost a
Co-.,uua ie.iicC laughter when
"Uncle" was on the stage. Miss
H fiartt is especially versatile in
ter moods and is quite a pleasing
performer. Mr. Yost has a good
baritone voice and was encord
i
several times, making an improve
ment each time. Miss McCul
lonh has a superior . vor
makf - yya thrilling tones. All
the I : - good and especial-!
It-the uuciag chorus.
"My Uncle from Japan" is
purely laughable, highly so, hav
ing only a few droll parts on
which to rest between laughs.
The whole performance was good
Kid entrf fining without cbr
jectionable features.
There Prefer-5 any companies,
we think, that will give err peo
ple more real satisfaction than the
jray-flartt Co., judging from
j ht, and ttc L7ef the
proicise of even a better play

The farmers of this section
haye gone to work in dead earn

crop of 5-cent cotton, and there
are numbers 6t otheri who will
"hit the coiling" next fall. May
the Lord have mercy on them. If
they would turn their attention to
raising supplies for home con

general shearing and shaving of

A GRUESOME SCENE.
Spanish Oificer's Skeleton Found.
At the naval battle at Santiago
the Spanish torpedo boat destroyer
Pltfton was wrecked, from which it
seems that Admiral Vallamil was
taken, severely wounded. Racently,
among the rocks opposite the place
where the Pluton went down, was
found a rocking char with a skeles
ton bound with ropes. The flash
was eaten away, evidently by buz
zard8 .
I It was known that the admiral
was wounded in the right arm and
thi left hip. The skeleton showed
tntse wounds and this, with other
evidence, proves it to be none other
than the Spanish oftioor, who probn
bly died in the chair and was left.
Gen. Wood is haviuar the remains
tared for and will await the wishes
of 8pain for their disposal, j
