Last evening there was capital

not shadow of an expression that
could offend the most delicate taste.
There was large attendance that ap-
peared to be Well pleased with the
presentations. The private or ladies'
entrance to the gallery is now COM
pleted, and it is the intention of Col.
Wood in very short time to open a
system of first-class performances that
will please the most fastidious. The
Georgians will probably be here soon,
and soon after other combinations that
nifty and bear the closest criticism.

lishment first-class place of amuse-
ment in every particular, and should
receive the full and generous support
of the public.

tion up the mountains forgot to take
with them that very useful utensil
known as comb. At first they be-

allowed the cookie burs and cacti to
accumulate just as they happened to

are four gentlemen in town with the
latest Summer cut-you couldn't pull
their hair with pair of tweezels.

seems to weaken, and if the present
symptoms are indicative of anything,
it is an absolute failure as to q demon
stration. There is an inertness about
the matter that shows that our people
do not care to spend their money gas,
loquacity and gun-powder. The folks

patriotism should be exhibited in an

powder explosions. Our people are
adopting the Quaker style of taking
these things quietly. We anticipate
q quiet Fourth on the centennial anni-
versary.
