Laugh and Grow Fat.
If you can't laugh please don't come
to the Opera House Saturday night
Dec. I'lst, to see the Great Laughing
Success, "Where The Laugh Comes
In." The following notice speaks for
its self:
The Lyceum Theatre was complete
ly filled last evening by an audience
keyed up to the pitch at which It was
keen to know just where "the laugh
came in." The audience had but
little time to wait before the demon
stration of the plays title began.
"Where The Laugh Comes In" is a
comedy built for no other purpose
than for hilarity: to amuse and con
vulse for an hour or so: to delight
with new songs; to tickle man's risi
bilities and leave him in a happy
mood at the finale.
"Where the Laugh Gome's In" suc
ceeded in doing this last night, in its
first production of a three nights' en
gagement. The plot is nothing,
framed only to allow great compli
cations through the transformation
of the father. Col. Peach, into the
body of the son, Dick Peach, through
the medium of a wonderful wishing
stone. The old man is sent off to
school and suffers indignities intend
ed for the sou; aud the mixupcontfn
ues until through the good offices of
Iina Peach, the daughter, things are
set to right again. Toledo Bee.

Quite a pleasant sight was en
joyed by the Oxford people last
Thursday afternoon when 12 wagon
loads of tobocco from Franklin and
7 from Vance counties rolled into
town, each farmer having a red flag
floating from his wagon. As expect
ed they drove under the Owen Ware
house shed where their old friend
Walter Stark extended them a warm
and enthusiastic welcome. But next
day their hearts were made still hap
pier by the rafter prices received for
their tobacco, and all went home
full of praise for the best market in
the State.

There occurred quite a distressing
accident at Mr. W. A. Parham's cot
ton gin at his mill in Oxford Monday
morning:. Master Willie Murray, son
of Mr. Roger Murray, aged 15. was

his left hand caught in the saws lac
erating his hand and arm so badly
that amputation was necessary. The
unfortunate lad was at once taken
to the office of Drs. Hays and Booth
and these skilled gentlemen found 1t
necessary to amputate the arm with
in two inches of th elbow. Willie
proved quite brave and stood the
operation like a man, and we are
pleased to learn is doing as well as
possible under the circumstances.

to the young man and his parents.
