A Great Play.
“The Banker’s Child” is pro¬
nounced by press, pulpit and pub¬
lic to be one of the best comedy
dramas ever written. It is now in
its ninth year and has played prac¬
tically to the same territory all
this time, having visited many
places five or six times which
proves beyond a doubt the merit
of the attraction. Manager Harry
Shannon has new scenery painted
this season. More comedy is ad¬
ded, while the story remains the
same. Little Grace Edler as
“Stella The Banker’s Child,” is
pronounced by all to be the clev¬
erest child artist before the public.
Fine specialties will be introduced.
It will be well to secure seats early
for this production. Thursday,
March 3rd. One night only at
the Opera House.
J. Nelson Norris is Not
Dead as Rumored.
The many friends in this city of
Mr. J. Nelson Norris of Birming¬
ham, were greatly shocked on
Monday when the rumor that he
had been accidentally killed gained
current. Just how or where the
rumor originated is not known,
but it spread with great rapidity,
and many were very much alarmed
until they found out that there
was no truth in the statement.
Mr. Norris left this city only a
short time ago, having been ap-
pointed General Passenger Agent
of the Atlanta, Birmingham & At¬
lantic Railroad, and the fact that
misfortune should befall him so
soon after his promotion was ap¬
palling to his friends, who began
investigating as soon as they heard
the report. He and his family are
now very comfortably situated in
Birmingham and are enjoying the
best of health.
Mr. N. N. Littlefield of Cor¬
dele' was the guest of friends in
the city this week.
