As U often the cose lu the nma
r theatrical Hue the unexpected
LPcd, not 'nfrcqucutly ad
riely W tnc l10Peful aspirants for
Tonight honors. It Is therefore
Itlfylng to cord the clcvcMyork
done t Martin' hall on Friday
Lolug la"1 In the production of
..Right Avenged," a charming
four-act melodrama, by the local
talent. The hall was nicely filled
fllth an appreciative and enthu
siastic audience whose ntten
ti0I1 was engrossed through
oUt the evening by the smooth
wi absorbing run of the
play. The stage settings were in
keeping with the spirit of the
drama, the shifting of scenes went
off without a hitch and the cutire
play was as evenly rendered as if it
bad been in the hands of profes
,iouals. There were no long waits
between acts, the time being filled
j by catching specialties. The
rendition after the first act by
Verne Alderman of the "Tramp's
Soliloquy" was very effective and
portrayed a vivid picture of the
jbaadoned creature who falls from
the high estate of man to tread the
besotted paths of sin. After the
second act Miss Slna Orrcll held
tbe audience spellbound by her
splendid rendition of "Zazella," a
Spanish romance and tragedy full
of love, jealousy, hate, murder, re
oorseand contrition. Miss Orrell
was costumed os a Spanish beauty
and looked the part to perfection.
She is well to the top as an clo
qutionist, has a clear, penetrating
and winning voice and her enun
ciation is perfect. She was warmly
applauded for her effort and merited
the hearty greeting she received.
After the third act Winters Wallace
sang "Asleep in the Deep," and
for his effort got a storm of ap
plause, for which he reappeared
and gracefully bowed his thanks.
In the last act Miss Ruth Ulair,
who had played well her part
throughout the drnmn, gave the
audience an exhibition of fancy and
artistic dancing. The little lady is
as cute as she is sweet and was a
genuine delight to all. Mr David
son, our "Sol," us the heavy
villain was a howling suc, and
ia the climax went to his death be
fore the limelights with the same
daredevil recklessness that char
acterized his bearing throughout
the play. Harry Pickard, as the
true friend and legal light, played
the role well, v iss Lettn Vealch,
the leading lady and heroine of the
play, acted well her part as the
happy bride, the wronged wife, the
destitute and loving mother, and
the final triumph into peaceful and
liappy domestic bliss. Miss Ethel
Walters as "Blossom" did herself
proud and brought merriment and
joy to the audience by her quaint
ethiopean antics. Miss Lizzie Knox
presided at the piano and delighted
the audience with several select
and difficult numbers. The mem
hereof the troupe, one nnd all, did
well. The show was a success
and everybody went home feeling
tetter that they had attended the
play.
Wat, DAM.
The large dam on the Coast Fork
south of town that impounds the
water which is used for the motive
power of Stone's flour mill, has
been thoroughly overhauled, re
paired and on the east side en
larged back to the high ground,
neavily braced and the embank'
nent filled in with gravel. The
structure now looks as if it could
ad would withstand the heavy
strain of the water when the river
I fills its banks.
HKY OROW THKRB.
Win H. Harrison, who resides
n his farm some seven miles out
n Mosby creek, was a pleasant
caller at the Nugget office last
Mouday, and didn't do a thing but
feave the office a dozen ns nice late
Crawfords ns were ever grown out
fdoors. Mr. Harrison said that
e had several trees loaded with
tbem this year and that no one
need to doubt that peach growing
could be successfully carried on
$ere.
T1I1C CKMItTlCKY
On the sloping hillside west of
town in a spacious opening sur
rounded by evergreen trees is the
quiet, peaceful home of those who
havctrugged through life's shifting
patliB; have wearied by the way
side; have passed into eternal sleep
nnd the beyond. A visit to this
home of peace discloses the fnct
that the living in most cases have
cared well for the loved ones rest
ing there by perpetuating their
memory in columns of marble and
well-kept and flower-bestrewed
mounds, but there are many ne
glectcd graves which time and the
elements have rendered so obscure
as to be hardly traceable by one
who visits that hallowed spot; the
little boards that once marked the
last earthly dwelling of the loved
and lost have rotted away and the
winds and rains have razed the
mounds so that some are almost
disccmable. Those who had them
in keeping have perhaps moved to
other climes and thus neglect has
come. There is or should be in
the directorate of this last resting
place a fund for the care and keep
ing in go )d order of the mounds
and grounds allotted to each and
all who sleep in this city of the
dead. A little expense, tinctured
with love and grateful remem
brance, would make and keep
those sacred grounds in perfect con
dition, to the honor of the dead
and the credit of the living, and
then there would be no neglected
graves.
I'OR GOLD HIM..
Melvin Damewood, who has
been engaged in farming west of
this city, and who recently sold his
place, was n caller at the Nugget
office last Monday, and requested
his address to be changed to Gold
Hill, where he removed this
week, and where he expects to
make his future home. Mr. Dame
wood is a worthy citizen, and leaves
many friends here who will be
pleased to learn of any good fortune
coming his way. The Nuuget joins
in wishing him and his family the
best of success.

Sure enough the deer which fre

Walt Baker, Attorney F. G. Eby
and Toot Sanders hied themselves

creek last Tuesday, with a large
and well selected camp outfit bent
upon taking a good share of the
deer which inhabit that section.

I.AKGli LAWTONS.
Mrs. Chas. Van Fleet, of this
city, was a caller at the Nugget
Saturday afternoon, and presented
the office with a bunch ol Lawton
blackberries hard to surpass. On
five stems were nineteen ripe
berries nnd twenty-seven green
ones. The ripe berries weighed
just a quarter of a pound, while
the larger ones of the bunch
measured three inches and a quarter
around. They were the largest
ber,ries seen here.
