Most people know that "Peck's Bad
Boy" is a potpourri of funny incidents,
brilliant repartee and ludicrous situa
tions. Some more definite information,
however, might be interesting. The
ptodnction is the apotheosis of modem
comedy. It is cleverly arranged, and is
as devoid of a plot as a church stew is of
oysters, and the incidents recar with
sach startling rupidity os to cause con
tinuous laughter. It is reported that
"Peck’s Bad Boy” is far superior to
many of the productions which have
been seen at the opera honse, and that
there is not an nnwholesome line in it
It has many complications which might
be described as "screams," and they are
all most plausible, even if they are
laughable. The man who cannot langh
says Carlisle, "Is not only fit for trea
sons, Btrategems and spoils, bnt his
whole life is already a treason and a

CONGRESSMAN HOWARD GETS
ADDITIONAL RURAL ROUTES.
Representative Howard has secured an
order from the post office department for
the establishment of twenty-fonr free
rural mail ronteBin this district, the'date
of establishment to be between Febrn
ary 1 and March 1. While the depart
ment has for the present, held np the
estob'ishment and installation of new
runtes on account of the lack of money,
the assurance that the needed money
will be forthcoming from congress and
the fact that these rontes have been In
spected and favorably passed upon
made it possible for the department to
promise Mr. Howard that these twenty-
fonr rontes will be installed in Pntnam,
Morgan, Ooonee, Greene and Jasper
counties at the date fixed,
It is understood that Mr. Howard's
next move in this direction will be to
have additional mates placed in Clarke
county, there being only one rural free
delivery mate in this county at present
Mr. Howard is always looking after the
interests of his constituents, with whom
he is in closs touch, and whose needs he
is always aware of. It Is greatly to Mr.
Howard’s credit that he has been able
to have the additional rontes promised

One of the most important engage
ments imminent is that of Howard Kyle
in “Nathan Hale” Monday night.
The drama which Clyde Fitch wrote
aronnd the heroic character of that no
ble young American patriot, Nathan
Hale, is undoubtedly one of the most
interesting and effective of all the many
plays founded upon the events of the
American Revolution. It is a beautiful
play, full of noble sentiments with
charming love episodes and homing
with the fire of patriotism. It is a play
which will live as long as the country
shall exist for which he lost his life.
Tne company presenting this great play
Is headed by Howard Kyle, a popnlar
young and gifted actor, who meets all
the dlfflonlt requirements of the title
role most folly, both in the earlier com
edy scenes and in the tragio events that
follow in the later aots. Mr Kyle is a
skilled actor, who has played many im
portant parts and who has exibited de
serving ambition in appearing In so no
ble a play, making the venture his own,
he thus demonstrates his disposition and
purpose to adhere to a high plane in his
profession. The oompany in Mr. Kyle's
support, is highly extolled and oontaini
many who are well known to onr play
goers, while the production is all that
the exacting piece requires.
