After the splendid success of the
high school play last year, Carl R
Moore, the author, was urgently
solicited to write a second one tor
the high school this year. During
the summer vacation the play and
songs were written and the music
composed.
The high
school
students are now busy with the
practice and the play will be put on
in a short time. The proceeds of
the play’ will be used in payments
on the new piano purchased by’ the
high school last spring. The play
promises to be even better than the
one given last year. It is a musical
comedy and is pecuilarily lilted for
high school students The lines are
bright and full of wit, and the songs
and music are of unusual merit. The
school is certainly favored in having
the interest and personal attention
of a man of Mr. Moore’s ability’
along the line of play’ writing and
musical composition. The students
are getting much benefit from the
training, and the people of Bandon
are assured of a high class enter­
tainment. The date will be an­
nounced later.
Home Bakery
After repeated requests of my
many friends to open a bakery here,
I now have the Home Bakery and
will endeavor to give the people of
Bandon the best of everything in

my motto and a trial will convince

Accidental Shooting

was brought to Bandon and Dr.
Houston extracted about thirty shot
from his leg. The wounded man
was later Liken to Coquille and no
