I Sleeker and Toby are two of
the quaint characters in “A Hu
man Slave,” which comes to the
opera house, Friday night, which
will be at once popular with
a Newport audience. This
i young man and woman are two
j diamonds in the rough. They are
i a bit uncultured, it is true, but
under L rough and rugged ex- j
terior they are as true as steel,
and as warm hearted and sympa
thetic as the most; delicate and
refined woman. It is the very
poor who know how to be kind,
to be generous, when generosity
hurts themselves, and a telling
picture of genuine sacrifice is
shown by the roles of Sleeker
and Toby in this fine production.
Mr. Dan McMillan will be seen
as Sleeker, and Miss Harriet
Dunsmore as Toby.

Here’s Our Pen Picture.
Where the sky is the purest
azure,
And the forest nature’s green,
Where the valleys meet the hills,
And the earth is clothed in
sheen;
Where the cotton grows the
rankest,
And the grazing herd are prime—
This is Jackson county’s picture
As it looks in simple rhyme.
