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.

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. We hop: we bare educated you to rely upon our promise to servo your best Inter ests. We haro reason to believe the Iessea has been aptly learned. Season after sea son our trade bas extended.

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.
