This good womnn came to Abilene

many years ago in tho Spring of
1882 coming from Beli .Plain Calla-

To thoso who havo lived longest in
this Section Of the state the going of
this quoenly woman means much. Sho
was the mother and stay ot one. of
tho most widely and best loved fami
lies of Texas. Her charities have lif
ted the burden from many hearts and
flhn. will be missed much. Quiet and
in late years confined to her home most

A BELL BOY" MADE A
GREAT HIT LAST NIGHT.
Ttsre was a full house at the Ly-
ceum Theatre last night and the only
feature of the entire show that was
bad and unappreciated by the appre-
ciative audience was the drop of tho
final 'curtain. Inducing the. company
now in the city which presented " A
Bell Boy" last night to come to Abi-
lene Managor Saunderson of the Opera
House wins the. hearty congratulations
of alj his local patrons but the com-
pany and its plays stand so 'far ahead
of themajorlty of those- that visit hero
that many will doubt viewing j.be mat-
ter from a selfish business standpoint
that he has shown good judgment. It
may .bo that some of the tljeatro goefs
will expect future bHqws to comaup
to the standard set last night. by "A
Bell. Boy" company and of course if
therefore any such theyvillrbo disap-
pointed. .Miss Ella Galvln the lead-
ing lady lassoed her audience upon
first appearance and held them with-
out trouble throughout tho entertain-
ment. Every time sbo hit .she' madp a
hit and-each of her hits were stronger
and more heartily received than Pre-
ceding hits. .She was backed up by a
chorus of good voices good lookB and
magnificent costumes. The male com-
edy .roles as handlqd by John Miller
Jaa; Grady and Johnny Galvln left noth
intr to bo desired. Tho company uses
Ma own scenery exclusively and.lt pro
duqes some of tho most beautiful ei-
fects efror seen on tho local stage.
"Bc4$thHfcWBboy" which is a dra-
ma is the bill for tonight and It is
said like the bill last tilght is built
jo pleaue and does please. The com-
panjr will also1 appear in taatlneo to-
morrow afternoon and again tomor-
row night.
