Mr. J. P. Me Auiey, of Montgomery,
Ala., arrived last evening, via the
Alabama Midland, and is the guest
ot President Hutson, of the South
Georgia College.
Fairies’ Well was tbe attraction at
the opera house Thursday, and it is to
bo regretted that so many Thomas-
villo theatre goers missed such a
choice theatrical treat. Tho play was
presented by W. H. Power’s company,
aud is considered one of tho leading
Irish comedy dramas of the day.
Carroll Johnson is the star, and he
is assisted by an equally elever sup
port. A critic says ot the company
that the play seems to bo written for
the cast, and the cast for tbe play.
He is an excellent yottug actor, has
fine appreciation ot wit and pathos
blended, and in his songs and dances
captures his audience. lie has n
bright future before him on tho come
dy stage.
Mr. John F. • Ward, who plays the
part of Andy Coogau, is also a good
comedian, and his Irish airs and
dances were very amusing. Tho
song rendered by him "I’m saving it
all for Mary,” was ouo of the "hits” of
the evening, and was roundly ap
plauded.
Miss Jessie West, Mona Carmody,
was pretty and piquant. The res;
of the suppdrt was fine, especially
Little Ollie, the charming and cute
little child actress, who captured all
hearts.
There are a number startling scenic
effects incident to the play. Notable
among these wus the Farrell’s Pool,
and the Fairies’ Well on Condon’s
Hei ghts. Taken as a whole, tbe play
is a u interesting and amusing combi
nation of acting, singing and dancing
by .a good company of artists.
THEATRICAL NOTES
Mias Jessie- West, who takes die
part of Mona Carmody in tho Fairies’
Well, was suddenly taken ill ut the

In creating tho play of Uncle’s

It is claimed that tbero is not an im

play.

Waycross, Ga., Oct. 23.—The
following facts in relation to the riot at
Stokes! still, near McDonr’d’s mill,
have been obtained from on authori
tative source and personal investiga
tion : L. B. Varne leased a lot of land
from the Waycross Lumber Company
just over the Ware county line in
Coffee. He recently commened prep
arations for working it for turpentine.
This fall the same iot of land was Sold
by H. M.-Hilt to Tom Sears, and the
timber leased to 1'. M. Stokes for
turpentine purposes. A week or ten
days ago Tom Sears ordered Varn’s
hands off the land with his gun the
first of the week.
WORK RESUMED.
Varne had the work resumed, nott
fying the parlies he would submit to
legal process, but that otherwise he
should work the lot. tic cautioned
his hands against trouble and ordered
them to act strictly on the defensive.
Tuesday Tom Sears waylaid Varne’s
wagon aud shot his teamster, who is
not expected to live. Wednesday
afiernoon Tom Scars, his lather, Frank
Sears, Berrien* McLendon, James
Hendricks and others came over into
Ware county, about a mile and a half
from the land in dispute, to the house
of Bob Knight (colored), where Wel
come Golden and other colo&d em
ployes of Varne were slopping out of
the rain.
FIRING LEG UN.
The party comm.-, need firing into
the house, the hands all running ex
cept Knight Golden, who returned the
fire, killing McLendon a id Hendricks,
woodmen of Stokes, and wounding
Frank Sears. Mr. Vame was six
miles away at his sti’l and knew noth
ing of the trouble until-afterward.
The sheriff, coroner and Waycross
Rifles, under command of C ipt. Farr,
are on the scene,* and further trouble
is not apprehended.
The affair is regretted by all, and
perhaps by no one now more than
Messrs. Varne and Stokes.
The Waycross Rifles arr.ved at
McDonald's at 2:30 o’clock this morn
ing and proceeded to Stokes’ still.
They found evetything quiet.

HERE’S AN EARLY FALL BARGAIN
THAT’LL PROVE INTERESTING.
We d like you to remember one important
rd '•»
fact concerning our use of tbe word "ler-
gaif.” Perhaps you've noticed that there
arc some concerns that never sell anythin
excepting “bargains'.'' They use the ward
ut all times and under all circumstances. No
matter what they sell, no matter what the
quality of the article, no matter what the
price—its a “bargain ' just tbe same—
that is, if you’re willing to take the dealers
word for it. That isn’t the sort of barraia
ive are about to refer to, and what this little
preparatory chat has keen leading you upte.
Buyers who visit our stores will learn the
liberal definition of the word “bargaia.”
