THE WILLIAMS NEWS the terrible accident. The drive to town with the unfortunate man was made in exactly forty minutes, the distance being about twelve miles. The accident is greatly re gretted and will scare a goodly number from hunting in the future. WILLIAMS SCHOOL NOTES. We thank the patrons for their frequent visits. Several of our pupils are out on account of the mumps, but we are glad to know they regret missing their work. . On account of Thanksgiving, there will be no school Thursday or Friday. A merry time to all our boys and girls. As there was some difficulty in heating all the rooms from the fur nace, two stoves have been put in Miss Marine's room, so now, when it is cold, we have the furnace for the west rooms only. Several of our boys were absent last Friday p. m., preparatory to the great hunt that, was to begin next morning. All received val uable experience, but not much other substantial or visible reward for their labors. We are indebted to our friends, Messrs. Twitty and Parker, for beautiful 1902 calendars, for which we wish to express our appreciation. Seems too bad that such fine bach elors are not making some good woman a "hubby." Some may wonder why our flag has not been floating the past week. The flag is in an undone condition at present but soon it will be un furled to the breeze; however, on the inside of the building the nat ional airs are kept floating. Wednesday we are going to have a Thanksgiving program after 3 o'clock, in the upper rooms, to which the patrons are most cordial ly invited. We want to become I etter acquainted, believing that by so doing we will secure a more hearty co-operation and awaken a greater interest in our school work. L. E. Gifford. Ha a Purpose. Unlike most of the Sunday sup plements of the big daily papers, the Illustrated Magazine gotten out by the Los Angeles Herald every Sunday appears to have a definite purpose. This magazine is doing a great deal of good for the south west by its industrial articles, and they are intensely interesting. You get the best job printing at the News office. At the .Silvernail Opera House. Hundreds of local readers of Sienkiewicz' novel, "Quo Vadis," will find interest in Chas. W. Chase's dramatization of it, which will be given at the Silvernail opera house on November 27. Re ports say that it has played to crowded houses everywhere, and it will doubtless do so here. The cast is said to be very strong, and the entire production a lavish, and in many respects, a beautiful example of scenic stage-craft. The religious element of the play is very strong, and the clergy of all denominations are said to have placed their mark of approval upon the play, pro nouncing it a great instrument of good, which should be listened to by all classes. The rendition of Hal Reid's drama, "Roanoke," at the Silver nail opera house last Saturday evening, by the Russell fc Drew company, was above the average for troops playing through this section. The parts of Roanoke Peyton, by Louise Carter; Ezekiel Morse, by Mr. Geo. M. Hayes, and Aunt Dinah, by Miss Iva Donnetta, be ing exceptionally well taken. The play is Mr. Reid's masterpiece and is a pure and realistic drama of life in old Virginia. This class of attractions is what the people of Williams desire to see, and as Mr. Silvernail is doing all in his power to make the opera house attractive, we will probably see many more good shows on the boards this win ter. The audience was of a fair size, but could have been larger. One of the most important pro ductions that will be in this city this season is Chas. W. Chase's dramatization of Quo Vadis, which will be seen at the Silvernail opera house on November 27. The vaudeville entertainment given by Mr. John Thompson Tuesday and Wednesday evenings consisted of a series of impersona tions interspersed with music and comic songs. Mr. Thompson is a pleasing entertainer and admirers of comedy enjoyed a good laugh. His musical talent is shown best on the violin, of which instrument he is master. "East Lynne," a play that will live forever, comes to the Silvernail opera house on Nov. 26, 1901, for one night only. It is, without question, the greatest emotional play of the present generation, a drama in which the most famous actors and actresses in the country THE WILLIAMS DRUG COMPANY Take Care of Yourself 1 !
