B - I n ESCAPED FROM THE; LAW.' ricosiuy tnienainment at the Opera . .... - Bouse Thursday Night. Reported for The Commonwealth A large number of the represent ative people of Scotland Neck were delightfully entertained last Thurs day night by an ameteur theatrical performance under the able manage ment of Mrs. A. L. Purrington. TT .mm tiistrionic talent of no mean order was displayed by all those taking parts. Their work showed not only familiarity with their Jines, but care iui ana thoughtful preparation and training. The interest was sustain ea throughout, not a dull moment being felt by any of the audience The play was "Escaped From The Law," and deals with the past life of a Madam Damaire, whose difficult role was most admirably sustained and interpreted by Miss Anna Bar row Clark. The part of her husband, General Burleigh, a large mill own er, was most naturally portrayed by Mr. A. Li. Purrington, whose render mg 01 the part was really true to nature. -Dr. J. E. Shields, both as Monsieur Felix Beauplan and the doctor, was perfectly at his ease and true to his delineation of his role Miss Anna Kitchin made an entranc ing and charming young widow, Mrs. Dalroy, who most successfully overcame the prejudices of the mill superintendent, John Middlcton, whose faithfulness to his employer. the general, and resourcefulness under difficulties, as given by Mr Charles Lamb, carried the audience with him. The villian of the play, iviicnaei tiatneia, who was repre sented by Mr. Harry Lee McDowell, obeying the law of opposites, was particularly strong in his rendering of the part. Mr. Noah Biggs Bryan, Mr. Allison McDowell and Miss Ellen Speed, were each of them above criticism. Mr. Bryan's natur Hibernianism causing roars of laugh ter; Mr. Allison McDowell as Anto nio Pittore, leaving nothing undone m ms portrayal, ana Miss .Ellen bpeea, although young m years, showing a full grasp of her juvenile role. Mrs. A. L. Purrington deserves more than any one else trie iuii mead of praise. Her duties as stage manager were not allowed to take anything from her successful rendi tion of the difficult role of the French maid, Mile. Kitty, whose left wits were always in evidence directing and influencing all the varying situations. Miss Hattie Leggett played ac companiments for Miss Kathenne Kitchin, Miss Laura Clark, Miss Lucile Leggett and Miss Nannie Lamb in the catchy songs and dances, which were very fetching and pleased every one. . We may not go further except to say that it was the most successful ameteur performance in all ways ever given in the city, and each and every one of those participating de serve the thanks of the community.

Marion White, Sc Jbe Bright Side. (Mrs. M A. Kidder, in Philadelphia Bulletin.) There is many a rest in the road of life, If we only would stop to take it, And many a tone from the bette land. If the querulous heart would wake it! To the sunny soul that is full of hope, A 1 l i mu wnose Deauuiui trust ne er faileth, , the gras3 is green and the flowers bright, though the wintry storm prevail eth. Better to hope, though the clouds hang low, And to keep the eyes still lifted; TT AT . 1 t t an rvi tne sweet Diue sicy will soon peep through, When the ominous clouds rifted! are There was never a nicht without a day, Or an evening without a morning. And the darkest hour, as the proverb goes, Is the hour before the dawning There is ever a gem in the oath of life, t Which we pass in our idle pleasure, That is richer far than the ieweled crown, Or the miser's hoarded treasure; It may be the love of a little child, Or a mother's prayer to heaven; Or only a beggar's grateful thanks For a cup of water given. Better to weave in the web of life A bright and golden filling, And to do God's will with a readv heart And the hands that are swift and willing, Than to snap the delicate, slender threads Of our curious lives asunder, And then blame heaven for the tan gled ends, And sit, and grieve, and wonder. Toe Deadly Fly. The flies, hot weather and disease come together- mi i ii .iii aai ine picture oi tne wont tnat tne i fly does in your house is not exagger ated. You see for yourself " how two or three flies that survive the winter suddenly multiply into thousands. Remember that the disease germs scattered by the flies multiply by millions and billions. Remember, above all things, that you and your children in order to be come diseased must swallow the dis ease. Few very few of the dis eases, such as scarlet fever and small pox, can be "caught," as the saying is. But typhoid and the innumerable intestinal poisonings that afflict chil dren come and come only from swal lowing disease germs. When the flies appear in your house they come with their spongy feet la den with filth, laden with the germs of disease. 1 They alight and feed on garbage, on piles of the vilest refuse. One foot of one fly can bring in enough disease germs to contaminate a-whole family. You can't kill the germs they are too small. But you can kill the flies, and, bet ter still, you can screen your doors and windows and keep them out. If at this time of the year poison ous snakes began to appear in your house, you would make all necessary preparations to exclude or kill th snakes. Remember that for one person kiL ed by snakes a thousand are killed by the disease germ that the fly scat ters on food. Avoid flies and you avoid disease. New York Journal.

The old farmer who" permitted" me to hold his plow told my interpreter that there were twelve in his family and that he owned and was cultivat ing fifteen worn of land, which is two and one half acres, and that be sides his team a cow and a small donkey he usually fed two p:gs.

Cullom and claimed their lit tle daughter, Loucille. Little Lou cille had lived to bless her home 18 months and 4 days. She was sick but a few days. Fond parents, friends and a physician did all they could for her but she only found relief in death. She has gone to be with Je sus who said, suffer the little chil dren to come unto me for of such is the kingdom of heaven. Her going has cast a shadow over the home she for a short time blessed but she is happy with the angels in the Father's home on high. Her funeral was preached the following dr,y by Rev. S. W. Taylor and she was laid to rest in the -family burying ground in the presence of a number of rela tives and friends. Fond parents con sole yourselves with the sweet thought that, if I faithful be by and by I shall see her again and be with her forever more. Loucille is not T 11 i 1 il Though you miss the bright smiles a i ' u i days so bright, you should not grieve for her.
