L. H. Workman last evening pre-
sented us some bananas grown at his
place on Main street, which were equal
in flavor to those imported from the
Hawaiian Islands. We were a resi-
| dent of the islands for some time and
nanas could be grown here as we'll as
there or in Florida, and Mr.. Work
mans experiment shows that We were
correct. An acre of ground planted
with this splendid fruit would be
worth more than five acres with any,
thing else.
The far-famed Tennessee Jubilee
Singers will appear at Turn-Verein
hall OH Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday evenings, January 25th, Goth
and 9th. They are the original
troupe who have created such sensa-
tiOn in the East, and our citizens can
calculate on a rich treat. The old
plantation melodies will cause many
of us to think of old times, and in
spirit "carry us back to old Virginia.
The new scenery at Turn Verein
Hall is as good as any in the best the
atre in the State. Messrs. Schroeder
& Sons are accomplished artists, hav-
ing had lengthy experience in New
Orleans and other cities. The views
of the SchlOss Bridge in Berlin, the
Village mill and the Park scene are
quite striking, and will make the
Turn-Nerein scenery very complete.
l.. Roeder has removed his carriage
manufactory to Spring street, between
First and Second, where he has fine
lot of buggies and carriages of differ
ent styles, of his own manufacture,
and also the famous Mitchell wagon,
which he imports. His facilities for
the manufactue of all kinds of vehi-
cles are unsurpassed, and the work
which he turns out is credit to him
self and the county.
Yesterday morning a bronco mus
tang, attached to a buggy in which
were lady and gentleman, when
nearly opposite the new depot on San
Pedro street, took it into his head to
beat the revillie on the dash board
with his heels, which he did with SO
much vigor that he nearly demolished
it and pitched the gent overheard.
That seemed to satisfy his ambition,
and he made the rest of his trip like
respectable horse.
Mr. J. d. Dorian has established a
private school as will be seen by rafer-
ence to his advertisement, and in the
present crowded state of our public
schools its establishment is a great
benefit. Mr.. Dorian is teacher of
much experience and his price of tut
tion very reasonable, and we hope he
will meet with the success he merits.
Yesterday Mexican stood beside
the horse railroad, and while the car
passed, held large knife so that it
marked the car from one end to the |
other. The driver jumped off and de-
manded q dollar for the damage, which
he paid. 1t seems to have been case
of pure cussedness.

dining room with sensible increase
of avoirdupois.
Benjamin has got some new scenery
at the Novelty Theatre, well worth
looking at. There was big crowd
there last evening, and Brewster was
particularly funny.
