takes ground against MOrmOnism and

a Republican scheme. After passing
Congress, the bill was signed by Hayes

The amount of riding he did, often get

returning with jaded horse and taking
another. The summer of 1887 he sent for
recent graduate at Philadelphia, DR..

Der Judge Deacon) Comstock, Alfred and
b. o. Williams, Daniel Ball, who after

he was persuaded in 1888 to pull up at

the organization of another Baptist church
and the followers of Wesley on horseback
were made welcome at his home. One of
the leading events that interested the
writer at OwOssO was the Harrison cam

addressing several mass meetings. Though
he had been Democrat he was an ardent

never wear out has been testified this week
here In Jackson. Tie Boston Ideal Com
pany presented it to a crowded house two
nights and so excellent was the performance
that We believe it would have filled the
opera house for two more nights. The COM
pany certainly eclipses any troupe that ever
presented it in this city. Blanche Slader
gave us Topsy that is inimical, genuine
rolicking mischevious negro girl, who plays
the banjo and sings well besides. Mr.
Frank Smith as Marl<s'' was great; his
makeup, facial expression. and his con
ccption of the character was all that could
be desired. Little Pansy made charming
Eva,-the smallest and most precocious
child we have ever witnessed in the
character. The Jubilee Singers-gen,line
negroes-sang well and were heartily en-
cored, while the kennel, of blood hounds
performed their part in the most blood
thirsty manner conceivable. All in all,
the Boston Ideal Company is strong
combination, and we can conscientiously
endorse it to our sister towns
