A. B. Brandon, of Swifton, was
down on business Tuesday and sub

is able to save thereby.
G. A. Hillhouse, one of the attor
neys for the prohis in the present

wishes for the happiness of this mar
ried twain. Miss Shuh had expected
to visit in Newport this summer, but
her relatives think this step will pro
bably alter her plans.
One of Aiden Benedict’s companies
gave a very creditable production of
Thelma at the Opera House Monday
evening. Especially were the female
characters worthy of compliment.
Miss Emily Green as the Swedish
Britta was admirable and her diversi
ty of talent was manifest
in her execution of other parts,
while Miss Martha Bedleford imper
sonated with both grace and power,
the sweet and innocent character
Thelma. The novel however has
been half lost in the drama. The
scenery was unexpectedly elaborate.
Relatives of Mr. and Mrs. Steve
Brown in this city have received word
that the newly married couple, who
wer9 bound, for this city according to
the St. Louis papers, stopped off in
Poplar Bluff with the groom’s mother.
The young gentleman formerly lived
here and could hardly have picked a
more pleasant place to spend the
honeymoon than in this city of
friends.
The council failed to meet Monday
| morning. That body, it is understood
' will rebate a portion of the city
license fees, for that time in which the
controversy was pending before the
county judge had granted license.
The general sentiment of the business
men is that such a course would be no
more than fair, as otherwise the sa
loon men will be paying for something
they did not get.
