I “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” as given by the Ruscoe & Swift and . Southers-Price companies, asj sisted by local talent, at the opi era house, last Saturday eveuJing, was all right. It was'a | very clever rendition of that popular play. The house was the best that any company has played to for several seasons, the proceeds amounting to sllO. , The professional people who were in the caste did their parts I very nicely, and as to our home talent, we must hot overlook them. Fred Phillips, as “Phineas, the trapper,” and later the Quaker, played this part nicely, but showed greater developement in the heavy part of “Legree, the Red River Renegade." Frank Maloy, as “Lawyer Marks," was very funny, and his acting pleased the audience. One of the leading characters in “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” is “Little Eva.” The part was admirably’ taken by Little Miss True George, and she recited her lines as easily as if • she had played the part a hundred times. Mr. Thomas Batte, editor of the Graphic, Texarkana, Arkansas, has found what he believes to be the best remedy in existence for the flux. His experience is well worth remembering. He says: “Last summer I had a .very severe attack, of flux. I tried almost every known remedy, none giving relief. ' Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was recommended, to me. I purchased a bottle and received almost immediate relief. I concluded to use the medicine and was entirely cured. I take pleasure in recommending this remedy to any person suffering with such a disease, as in my opinion it is the best medicine in existence.” 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by F. B. Meyer, Druggist.

He did so and left town in a hurry. The Populists of White county have placed the following ticket in the field, clerk, W. H. Hanawalt; treasurer, G. W. McCollum; sheriff.
