Manor opera house was filled
with eager spectators on Monday
night to witness "His Fxeelleney,"
a comedy drama, in which Edwin
A. Davis played to perfection the
role of Baron Alvin St. George
Sharlock. Cain Baily as Larry
Mulligan, Jessie Atkinson as Ger
trude Montgomery, and Miss Pearl
Berrj.as Verriam Bell, also deserve
special mention. Jesse Atkinson's
spirit and vivacity were very
attractive.
The drama was interesting and
exciting throughout, and each part
well sustained by its actor.
Marion seldom has the opportu
nity to secure such a good perform
ance. The audience was appreci
ative, and, on the whole, all seemed
well pleased.
The tnnsic furnished by Mrs.
Cooper and Mr. Morau was beauti
ful, and the management of the
hall was well conducted by Mr.
Claude Powers.
To IIM ii Ti fthr' Institute.
The county commissioners have
done a wise thing to appropriate
100 with which to hold a teachers'
institute for McDowell county, and
Supervisor Wood is arranging to
have the institute the coming sum
mer. He has written to the author
ities of the State Normal School at
Greensboro for one of their pro
fessors who do institute work dur
ing the summer. Efforts are being
made to secure another institute
teacher. The institute will likely
be held in July, at which time
steps will be taken to organize a
teachers' association for the county.
A plan is also being made looking
toward the holding of a teachers'
institute for the colored people.
They request it.
All this should receive encour
agement, for it is needful in keep
ing our public schools abreast of
the times.
