tie fun with business. That old saying OF
"all work and no pay makes Jack a dull
boy" therefore, this eve-fun Now,
ladies and gentlemen, this august assem-
bly, of young men that you see before you
tonight are a representation of the
BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL ARLINGTON COOK,
ING sIOVEl
And they also represent nine different ma
tionalit.e .es, seven of which lie beyond the
deep blue sea. The Indian, as you are all
aware, ladies and gentlemen, was the early
inhabitant Of our country; and this tall
gentleman that you see is a representation
of our country to-day; and ladies and gen
| tlemen the sun never shone upon grander
country! Aye, he 0he SUM may be proud

Ladies and gentlemen, our object in

once m IRE, is to advertise the
MAMMOTH HARDWARE, woODENWARE,
TINWARE AND STOVE STORE OF FRANK
C. BEALL AT FRosTBURG, MD,
And there is not q man within the sound of
my voice to-nig W ho has not heard of
the
WONDERFUL BARGAINS, THE MAGNIFICENT
BARGAINS,
that are being offered daily at
HIS MAMMOTH ESTABLISHMENT
Gentlemen, it is your duty, your sacred
duty, to discover where you can purchase
your goods the cheapest. Every man
must be alive if he wishes to prosper.
To-day is the day of progress; with Stock
EFT Matthews, allow me to say-"That the
war is ended-ended with that superb
fna1e Of clashing sabcrs and laundering
calnons which proclaimed to all coming
generations that the war has ended and
that war prices Lave been abolished" es-
pecially at
FRANK c. BEALL's MAMMOTH HARDWARE
STORE
If there is Il young man in this vast au-
dience that see before me tonight, who
is contemplating matrimony to him l
would say-call and examine the
STOVES AT FRANK c. BEALLs
before purchasing elsewhere, or you will
regret 1t through all the checkered scenes OF
life, for you do not buy stove every day.
Next thing in order was music by
the Band then an oration from our
tump speaker, who kept the audience
in a continual roar of laughter for tif-
teen or twenty minutes. He gave a
very touching account OF some little
adventure that had befallen each
member of the troupe during his life.
You could see as he stepped to the
front fun written in every feature q
his face; the very get-up Of his gar
ments was fun; he was fun from the
top of his head to the sole of his feet
he he'd eaten fun for dinner.
Our Dutchman next stepped TO the
front and rendered "could any one
tole where that cat vas gone-that
beautiful Sohn Thomas Cat?' (Tre-
mendous applause.)
Our "nigger" next entertained the
audience. He dwelt upon the virtues
ARLINGTON,
and gave quite a lengthy address,
Then our stump speaker came tc
the front and gave a history of tia,
niger, which was certainly rich.
Next in order an Irish song and
dance by Mr.. Jno. A. Daley.
Then a rendition of "The Money.
less Man" by the stage manager.
A walk-around by the troupe; {
few complimentary remarks; then ad
journment.
The next thing in order was to re
tire to the Hotel-to seek some o
"tired natures sweet restorer, balm,
sleep" but was unable to succeed OF
account of a cat concert given by Uncl
Sam and one of the funny men TO
the benefit of the troupe. 1t wa
just growing Interesting when tn
landlady interposed the unaullie'
sanctity of her lawn and demanae'

they did we'll they beat the cat
themselves, but they finally fell aslee
whisting did you ever go into a sa
loon where you get your free lunc
with your beer?' I have no dout
that it was the free lunch that wa
agitating their minds at that time.
The following morning We aroa
at an early hour, partoolo of gu
breakfast, called upon several gentle
men Of town, discharged the obligs
tions under which we rested 10 Mr.
