Milton and Del lie "oh'os.
The attraction at Metropolitan
Hall this week is Milton and Dollie
Nobles. These popular artists will
begin an engagement at this theatre
Tuesday (tomorrow) evening, pre
senting Mr. Nobles' last and most sue
eessful play "From Sire to Son." The
play opens at the village and camp
at Yuba, Cal., in I860, and successive
acts take the audience to Venice, and
then to an old castle on the Rhine,
giving good opportunities for fine
scenic settings of the stage which are
well improved. The plot hinges on a
curse 'From 8ire to Sou' of temporary
loss of speech UDder strong excite
ment In the first act Alfred Arrni
tage, who has, undsr the assumed
name of John Oakley, been a sue
eessful gambler, breaks with his com
panion, Jonas Hardy, and declares
he will never again touch a card. The
love for his wife and daughter leads
to this determination, but it results
in the killing of the wife and the
wounding of Armitage by Harcy
The tragedy makes Armitage speech
less, and while in that state Hardy
escapes to San Francisco, where he
assumes Armitage's name, obtains
his deposits in the bank, and then
secures possession of his daughter,
who has been brought up in a con
vent and has never seen her father
The second acc shows the interior of
the Yuba Hotel, where, suddenly
made aware of the acts of Hardy,
Armitage recovers his speech, and
declares the grave only shal shield
the murderer. Jn the third act
Armitage discovers his daughter in a
hotel in Venice, but on denouncing
Hardy is arrested as insane. The
last act in an old castle on the Rhine
brings the vidian to bay, and father
aud daughter are united. The in
seperable comedy element is naturally
Introduced in the characters of Dr
Marmaduke, Mandrake and his son
Hamilton, who make love alternately
to the proprietress of the Yubi Hotel
and her daug ter A genuine old
mountain coach, drawn by genuine

Let It be Done.
We are assured by supervisor Mc
Mackin, that in a short while, the
Aveut Ferry road from hi intersection
with the HilUboro rid to Pulleu
park, will be covered with a nice
coating of sand and gravel. This is
eminentlv right and proper. It is the
nearest outlet from the city to the
beautiful park given by Mr. R S
Pullen for the convenience of our
citizens, and surely there should be a
good road to reach it. The Board of
County Commissioners will meet next
Monday, and we hope they wid, at
once give Mr. McMackin all needful '
authority in the premises It, is a 1
matter that all our people are deeply
interested in, especially as the pres
ent road is almost impassable in bad
weather We trust chairman Norris
of the Board will use his influence in
this direction, for which he will have
the thanWs of all the people of Ral
eigh Township.
A Breezy Time.
'The play's the thing ' It is partic
ularly the "thing" just at this season,
and everybody eeeius to be quite sure
and wants to do the proper thing.and
the result is that everybody will go
to see "A Breezy Time," the newest
and best of farce comedies It is said
to be a jol'y play, with plenty of go,
and does not call upon you for any
great mental effort to follow its plot,
nor does it cause cold shivers to run
through your anatomy by startling
situations; but if you have any of the
enjoyments of life it will keep you
spirits bubbling over with hilarious
mirth and if you are feeling nervous
or badly over household or busiuess
disappointments it will act. as re
freshiugly as a cool bre.z ia tha mid
die of a hot July afternoon, TLe
personnel of the company includes
four of the best known comedians and
three bright, bewitching soubrettes,
the Oak wood Quartette the Chibua
hua Mandolin Octette, Firz and Web
ster, the musical autocrats, the qmr
tette of pretty captivating gavotte
and tennis racket bell dancers, and
oth-r new aud novel features, will
appear at the Opera House Friday
