Tony Denier's troupe at Turner Hall,
Friday evening, July 1st Speaking of
Humpty Dumpty the Syracuse n. 7.
Courier says: Tony Deniers incompar-

-Humpty Dumpty at Turner Hall,
Friday evening, July LIST, promises to be
the grand event in amusements this sea-
son. The company is spoken of very
highly by the press in all the larger

without doubt Americas greatest clown
and keeps his audience in continual

purchasing Reserved seat tickets for this
entertainment will have no trouble in
getting their seats as Mr.. J. G. Britt, ush-

years, will attend to the wants of all in
that line SO whatever scruples any one may
have had against purchasing seats in ad-
