Messrs. L. SIBERT s. Co., Staunton, Va.
Gents-Your churn does the work. At test OF
it with my old dash chnrn using one gallon of
cream in each, your churn made two pounds Of
prime butter to my old churn's one. The butter
made in your churn would bring in any market 5
cents more a pound than from mine. would not
have believed there was such difference in the
churns. but weighed the butter and measured
the cream and it being all from the same COW,
there can be no doubt it is all in the superiority
OF your churn. Very Respectfully,

The largest and the most fashionable
audience Of the season attended the
representation of the mighty Dollar"
at Leubries theater last night, and
considering the fact that it was the
fifth time the mighty Dollar" has
been performed this week, it was a

play ran smoothly and in every sense
satisfactory, affording much amuse-
ment TO all who witnessed it. The
Mighty Dollar is undergoing its
last performance at the theater
this afternoon, and tonight the
Florences close with the Ticket of
Leave Man" On Monday evening

porting troupe. The plot Of the play
is frem scenes and Incidents in the
life Of Lady Jane Grey, whose brief
and mournful career, from the time
she first appeared before the Court Of
Edward VI to the claso of her life, is
carefully illustrated. Queen Mary,
who figured prominently in English
history at the period in which the
play is laid, will be i~mpersonated by
Mrs. Bowers, while tho unfortunate
Lady Jane" will be assumed by
Charlotte Thompson. Mr.. J. H. Nc
Cullom is to act the part Of Dudley,
and the remaining characters will be
pictured by a competent company.
The historical and tragioal drama
will certainly be we'll illustrated in

opinion that all property dangerous to

that the authorities cannot remit

gardless of equity or the results of his
endorsements. The city engineer is
empowered to examine, and if neces-
sary, repair the bayou bridge on Mad
ison street.

contracting association, whatever that
is.
The houses No. 294 and 296 Second
street, occupied by Sarah Flynn and
Ella Purdy, are to be raided by the
police unless the inmates find other
houses before the end of Is days.
People residing in the vicinity have
complained of the conduct of the
occupants, while a number have tes-
tilted to the good behavior of Miss
Purdy and her boarders.
The city engineer, if he thinks
proper, may construct a sidewalk
crossing at Vance and Shelby Streets,
provided it does not cost over $50.
The board of health is to notify
owners and occupants of the following
houses that they are dangerous to the
public health and well being Of the

and tumbling state; a brick house and
