Tonight the great Symphony Orchestra
of sixty eminent artists, and their re-
nowned leader, Theodore Thomas, will
appear at the Theatre. Special coaches and
baggage cars were set apart for their use
on the Augusta train, which brings them
IN this afternoon at half-past four O'Clock.
They played to a crowded house and en-
thusiastic audience in Augusta last night,
and, judging from the looks of the box
sheet at Davis Bros, will undoubtedly
have big attendance here also. This is
probably the last opportunity our citizens
will have of seeing Theodore Thomas,
and we again urge all of our people that
can, to 90 and hear his magnificent or
chestra render, under his personal direc-
ton, the exquisite gems of music whic b
make up the evenings programme. Some
of these selections have never before been
rendered in this country, having been
brought oyer from Europe this fall by Mr..
Thomas, for the first time.
