If you have a friend that is being target for town gossip it is your duty to go to that friend and tell him about it.

If you keep still and allow ''your' friend's reputation to be stained and trampled underfoot without some chance to defend are doing him a grave injustice; We don't believe in hatching up trouble for any one, but we hate to see 'a man convicted of a crime in the minds of the public without some chance to ex plain the matter.

"A Hoosier Daisy" which comes to the Seneca Opera house Friday night, Sept. 12th. is one of the season's most noted successes. The, title role is assumed by Miss Bessie Clifton, whose portrayal of the awkward, gawky, country airl has at a bound placed her at the top notch of succesful stars, It is around this character the plot is laid and the humorous aspects are always in the foreground. The holy horror of the hypocritical old deacons and gossipy church women becouse of the young minister's up-to-date ideas of right and the interview in which ihe deacons express their opin ion of each other, the singing and dancing of Daisv" and many other scenes haye there ludicrous side.
