Manager Lloyd has booked for
Monday evening; December 9th,the
great railroad melodrama. Lincoln
J. Carter's "Fast Mail," which will
be given a grand scenic production,
that in mairy respects promises to
be one of the most remarkable ever
in this city. The play is constructed
on strictly modern principled. The
interest starts at a terrific pace,
and is not allowed lo flag for an
instant. The incidents are made
doubly thrilling by the mechanical
and scenic effects that are employed.
There is the rattle and clatter of a
patrol wagon as it comes down the
street, the whistles, bells, etc, of a
Mississippi steamboat leaving her
wharf, moonlight effects on the
river, theglowing furnaces of the
boat, and ilie explosion and break
ing up of the steamer. A gigantic
piece of real water scenery is pre
sented in the Niagara Falls' scene,
where the enormous cataract is
represented with the roan.ofthe
water, the seething foam and the
rising mist. A freight train of
fourteen cars is run across the
stage. The caHjoose is lighted and
the engine carries the engineer and
fireman. It is everywhere acknowl
edged to be an unsurpassed achieve
ment in railroad scenic effect.
There seems to be no -limit to the
possibilities of stage mechanism,
but -The Fast Mail" seems to have
covered all the ground up to the
present date. The company is
highly spoken of, and the play is
well constructed, with a strong
tinge of comedy to offset the serious
elements.

ted was "Resolved that society has

decided in fayor pf the affirmative.
Owing to it being almost the first
meeting of this season, there were
not many persons present, but
those who' were there did all in
their power to make the society a
success. Some who did not come
with the expectation of taking part
in the programme kindly did so
wmn requested and all who at
tended went home feeling that they,
had a pleasant time. Hereafter
we hope to see a larger number
present-from Maxwell and from the
Island also. Let us try to make
the literary society as much cL a
success and as interesting as it was
list winter. TVe should be glad if
each one would come prepared to
take part In the programme, but if
you don't Avish to do that come any
how and have a good time.

DOWN IN OLD KATJtTUCK.
G. W. Allen, formerly superin
tendent of the national cemetery at
Fort McPherson but now holding a
similar position at Nancy, Ken
tucky, has written a letter to the
members of S. A. Douglas Post of
this city, from which we make the
following excerpts:
After a month's sojourn in old
Kaintuck, I will attempt to address
you. "We arrived here safely on
October 14th. We.found the road
from Somerset to the cemetery
rough and hilly. The cemetery is
situated about nine miles west of
Somerset on a part of the battle
ground of Logan's cross road. We
visited the grounds where the main
part of the battle was fough t, and
found unmistakable evidence of the
battle We found the earthworks
and rifle pits in a good state of
preservation. The shell and solid
shot marks are still to be seen on
the large oak trees, and we stood
under the tree where Gollicoffer
fell shot by Colonel Fry and near
this tree we found a trench where
sixty rebels are buried. Our
thoughts went back to '63 and '64
and we could almost hear the rebel
yell again.
The cemetery .here is beautiful.
It embraces three and one-half
acres of rolling land, has shrubs
and rose bushes in profusion. The
evergreen trees consist of cedar,
Scotch pine. American spruce, Irish
juniper and magnolia. The decidu
ous trees are maple, elm. buckeye,
ironwocd, apple peach and plum.
There are 716 interments in this
cemetery, S49 of vvhom are Known
and 367 unknown. The lodge is
the same style as the one at Mc
Pherson. We think the climate is
fine At this writing (Nov. 27th)
the rose bushes have not lost their
foliajre. We have had a number of
frosts and several freezes and it has
rained a number of times.
The people we haye met are kind
and courteous. They seem to be
engaged more in the lumber bnsl
ness than in farming, the timber
here being,. fine. We find quite a
number of old soldiers, and there is
a post at Somerset.
