This bright and snappy comedy will have for Gastonia theatre goers an added interest in the fact that its star role is sustained by the pretty little soubrette, Miss Verne Sheridan, across whose heart so dark a shadow fell when her loyerand protector was slain iu that needless and unhappy tragedy hi Gaffuey, Miss -Sheridan succeeded to the role .formerly played by Jessie May,. Hall, who is now starring in the, "Street Singer." Those who know them declare Miss. Sheridan almost a per fect counterpart of her brilliant little predecessor and'every whit as vivacious and clever iu her duties of dancing and singing. A particularly pleasing featute of her woik is a catchy little sentimental ballad entitled Dixie, which makes a hit with every' Southernaudience to 'which she sings it. We feel sure that the ad mirers ot Miss blienuan who heard her here in "Nothing but Money" will be happy to hear her -.'gain in her new role and will giye her a most cordial greeting next Saturday night. riCS AND STEERS. friends.

Land Where They Grow in a War That Counts. A few days ago Mrs, M, J. Terrell, of .Wilmington, Ohio. was "kind enough lo drop into see 'flirt Gazette.

Puikhurst and Miss Johnson. - Delighted with v our climate and people here in North Car olina, she' was lavish in her praise of both. In leply to questions she talked ruostenter tainiugly of her own section of Ohio. From a copy of the. Clin ton County (Ohio) Democrat which she' kindly gave us to look over, we noted particularly two striking item?, as follows: '"E. P. Stotler sold aud de livered to Bennett & Thompson, at Wilmington, last Thursday, seventy-five bead of seven and one-half months old pigs that averaged 255 pounds per head. This is the finest bunch of spring pigs delivered in the local market this season, to our knowl edge." Edward Reardon, of Wilson township, delivered to Pavey & Wilson, of Sabiua, last Friday, eighteen two-year-old steers which averaged 1,457 pounds per head. This was an extra good bunch of young steers even for Mr. Reardon, who n one of the most successful producers of beef cattle in the county. What ever else may be said of Ohio, it is certainly a place where pigs and steers grow in a' way that counts. The stock is usually of fine breeds, the farm ers are well equipped with the best implements, and the farms lie wide and level so that im proved machinery may be used to advantage. JURY LIST.
