‘Wintergreen Farm’

“Aunt Samantha says she just lives her quiet, peaceful life.”

Beautiful Pustoral Play. To see “Wintergreen Farm,” pronounced by all one of the prettiest of pastoraj plays, is like taking a trip to the quiet New England village of Meekinsville, and being introduced into the household of Aunt Samantha, and there meeting such quaint personages as Bill Jones and Sally Tomkins, to say nothing of the honest, plain spoken Obedias, his pretty daughter, Ruth, played by Miss Pauline Mayo, "Bud” and little May, all of whom belong under the home roof. And then there Ebeneezer Stebbins, the village sexton, who has a habit of "just droppin’ in,” and Richard Thornton, in love with Ruth, and Tom and Nellie, city cousins, who add life to the place. Mulligan, a bad sort, also appears on the scene, though not a very welcome visitor. The big New York scene in the third act introduces one of the greatest characters in the play, that of "Wraggles,” besides such East Side types as Blokey and Hardy, both queer customers. Now that David Fox and Jacob Kirk, of Smithville, Monroe county, have plead guilty to whitecapping Thomas Vanest, an effort is being made by Sheriff Cox to collect the reward of SSOO which was offered for the conviction of the guilty ones. There are also other claimants for the reward. William J. Richey, the Methodißt preacher who left his charge and family at Charlottesville a year” ago with a young woman and was later arrested in St. Louis, was found guilty of wife desertion, with a prison sentence, by a Jury in the circuit court at Greenfield. He is 39 years old. Geo. W. Purcell, former state labor commissioner, and atoone time right hand man to ex*President John Mitchell of the United Mine Workers of America, died at Terre Haute from a wound inflicted during a quarrel with Taylor Suttles at Atlas, a mining camp near Lincoln, Ind. , \
