A Fine Entertainment Coming.
Every one remembers the "Singin
Skule Beginment" which has been
such a big success here twice, and now
comes the good news, that the ladies
of the M. E. Church have a date for
Mr. Willards new entertainment entitled
"Eth' opia" a play of tho sunny
South, which will be produced in Ev.
anaville for two nights just prior to its
coming hero. The date for Marion i
will be October 19th. A large cast of
local talent will take part and the conductor,
the same as will put it on at
Evan3ville, will be sent here, and he
will take one of the leading comedy
parts. "Eth'opia," like the "Singin
Skule Beginment." is brim full of fun
and contains lots of very pretty music,
and though this is its first season, it is
now almost impossible to get a date,
as all of the dates are taken until after
the holidays. Announcements will be
made in due time and Marion folks
may prepare to have another "good
laff."
Fire at Sturgls.
About two o'clock Sunday morning
the Hotel Sturgis was discovered to be
on fire, and dispite the efforts of the
brave bucket brigade, was, in a very
short time, reduced to ashes. Tho
building was an old land-mark, being
the .first house to bo erected by the
Cumberland Iron & Land Company, an
organization still in existance and having
proven, barring the West Kentucky
.Coal Company, the best friend the good
town of Stugis ever had. Col. Chas.
Funk was the clever manager of the
noted old hostlery when it burned, but
the house was under a lease to A. L.
Grady, who, it is claimed, had twelve
thousand dollars on the furnishings
and fixtures, while Mrs. Skinner, only
had one thousand dollars on the house.
