One of the most enjoyable occa-
sions It has been my privilege to
enjoy for many days was an open
session of the 'Woman's Parson-
age and Home Mission Society of
Denton street Methodist church
yesterday at 3 p. m. The pro-
gram was elaborate and every one
present pronounced it one of the
most improving and delightful
of the many "such entertainments
given by those good ladles. There
will be a meeting every ^afternoon
his week at the same hour and
the ladies assured me that the
present high standing of program
would be kept up.

tradespeople. The piece enjoyed
phenominally successful runs in
London and in New York city.
The loving pair tind themselves
hounded to death by bill collect-
ors. The young wife has been
trying her hand at plav-writing,
and, unknown, to her husband,
has turned out a clever comedy.
She receives a note from a promi- j ciation and
nent theatrical manager informing j make it an
her that he will take the play. Of
course she is jubilant, bat her joy
is shoit lived, as three big, brawny
roustabouts from the installment

ing but a few pillows, scarfs and
draperies, she undertakes to re-
produce the former effects of the
interior of her home, with the as
sistance of a few tubs, dry goods
boxes, baskets, etc., draped with
curtains. Of course everything is
in apple-pie order when the visitor
arrives, but when he endeavors to
utilize some of neat looking arti-
cles of domestic comfort that arc
scattered about the room there are
a succession of langhi'ble farcical
scenes which keep the fnn going
at a merry rate.

Clem B. Potter in Charge of
the Opera House.
Clem B. Potter is now in charge
of the opera house and owner of
the same for the time being. The
building was sold yesterday under
an execution levied by H. C.
Roberts, who painted the sccnery.
When bids were called for it was
stated that an $8000 mortgage was
held bj a building and loan asso-
this fact seemed to
undesirable piece of
property, at least Clem Potter
had the big play house knocked
off to him for 810 and payment of
the lien. Immediately after the
Roberts claim was disposed of H.
Hulen as trustee for A. K. Hu-
lett, who held a claim of $S00,
levied on the building. Clem Pot-
ter bid $15 above the claim and it
was again declared to be his prop-
erty. Of course he does not as-
sume the $^000 mortgage. He
will remain in control until the
lean association forecloses and he
expects to get his money back
with a good profit before that
time arrives. As quite a number
of good shows will come here yet
this season his investment will
likely prove a paying one.

ible one and will probably be car-

We have no mock weddings or
wife beating sensations to report
ike the city of Gainesville, but
we happened to drop in on our
venerable friend, David Hancock,
when the young folks had met in
a committee of the whole to hear
some good music and discuss the
matrimonial question. This
seems to be one of the oldeet
questions that now presents itself
to the people notwithstanding it
has been argued pro and con in
every age for the past 6000 years,
yet no question stands so promi-
nently before the people. Occa-
sionally two will come to terras
