Uncle Rube Coming.
On Friday night,Mnrch 17, the
" Undo llubc -Dramatic Club will
present Charles Townsend's very
popular rural comedy, Uncle Rube,
at Tabb Opera House. This play
is one of the most successful of
this popular writer, and has scored
hundreds ofUfiuccesses before the
"American public. This company
has presented it in other plates,
always to crowded houses and en
thusiastic audiences, and the peo
pie of Mt. Sterling are promised a
I rare treat, such as seldom comes
here. The unstinted enthusiasm
' of the press, the critics and the
public in pruise of jits merits in
other places is proof beyond ques
tion of its popularity as presented
by the Uncle Rube Dramatic Club.
The play itself is the kind that
every one, young and old, heartily
enjoys and talks about afterwards.
It is brimming full and running
oyer with hearty fun and humor
ous situations, with a vein of gen
uine humanity running through it
that appeals to the better nature.
There is not a dull minute from
start to finish, and every line and
speech is so clean and wholesome
that it will not offend the most
fastidious taste. Ladies, gentle
men and childrentof all ages will
equally appreciate and enjoy it.
In addition to the merits of the
play and the unusual excellence of
the performance, the two causes
under whose auspices the play is
given, namely the local camp of
the Modern Woodmen of America
and the Library Fund, are worthy
the support of all good citizens
who are interested in the welfare
of our city. All who are inter-
ested in tho above causes, espe
- cially should use their best efforts
to make this a grand success finan
cially, as it is sure to be artistic
ally. The price of tickets has been
placed at 25 cents for the gallery
and 50 cents for reserved seats.
At these prices the house should,
and doubtless will, be crowded.
Tickets should be purchased in
advance to secure good seats.

Hoffman is especially anxious to meet
the man who has a prejudice against Life
Insurance. 'Twould be folly to say that
there are none such, for there are plenty
of men who have taken up the subject in
real earnest, and dropped it in disgust.
And it lWt tObe wondered at. More
over, he ,uo has thought kindly upon
any topic and afterwards become arrayed
against it, is only susceptible to the con
victions of sincere truth.
For such men as these Hoffman has all
the time they are willing to devote to it.
Such men need HONEST Life Insurance;
but first they must know what it is, and
when they do their prejudices will sur
render. How noes Hotfnjjt ino.v iliiot
He implicitly trusts the candor of a man's
reflective convictions when simple facts
are laid before him!
Drop into Hoffman's office any time
that's convenient to you. Or, if you
prefer, and wish to make an appointment,
you can do that as well. The fact that
insurance once interested you deeply
enough to be disappointing because it
didn't fulfill what ou expected of it
that's the best reason in the world why
you ought to talk with Hoffman.

O'Rcar-Saiiflcy.
The following snecial from
Frankfort will be of much interest
to our readers, as Miss O'Rear is
quite popular in Mt. Sterling, her
old home:
Frankfort society is much inter
ested in the plans that arc being
made for the marriage of Ensign
Caswell Saufley and Miss Helen
O'Rear, as this is to be the event
of the' spring season here. The
date for the wedding has been an
nounced for April 25, unless the
present movement of the navy
should cause some shift in the
time.
Just now there is no thought of
a postponement and the plans are,
being made for a handsome wed
ding in Frankfort on April 25.
The names of the attendants have
not been announced, but it is cer
tain to be a pretty wedding, and
it is understood that it is to be an
elaborate one, with many attend
ants and maids, and all gowned
handsomely. Tho wedding will
probably be at the country home
of Judge E. C. O'Rear, father of
the bride.
Miss O'Rear's friends in Frank
fort will entertain for her and the
bridal party extensively before
the wedding, and it is exp'ected
that several of the naval officers
who are intimate friends of En
sign Saulley will come to Frank
fort for the event. They will lend
interest to the parties and recep
tions for the bridal party, as the
Frankfort girls all like the men of
the army and navy and are attract
ed by the military glitter.
