Hoover Stock Co. Gave Good Show at Ellis Last Night.

The Hoover Stock Co. played to a fair sized audience last night at the Ellis theatre. “The Power of Politics” portrayed vividly the modern methods used by big political machines and unveiled the corrupt practices resorted to by the political bosses who fiourish in the large cities. The .acting was of a high order and the Hoover Stock Co. proved to be one of the best .stock companies playing in repertoire that has been here for some time. Between acts Paul Zallene entertained with a bit of comedy juggling that was very This company usually plays larger rities, but they had a misunderstanding in their dates and were fortunate enough to find the Ellis theatre vacant for a week. They will probably be greeted by a large house tonight.

Mr. and Mrs. Freeman Wood and Mrs. Julius Taylor attended the funeral at Delphi yesterday of Harvey Beetle, an aged negro who tor many years was engaged in the horse buying business and who was quite .well known in this county by reasons of buying trips, he made to this city. He was 75 years of age on Feb. 27th, and was a native of Carroll county. The Delphi Times says of him: “His honest, straighforward dealings; and his word were his strongest assets and whatever he told you he would do you could depend upon.” The funeral was conducted at the late residence just east of Delphi by Rev. A. H. DeLong, of the M. E. church and burial was made in-the Odd Fellows cemetery.
