Mr.. Penniman informs us that he has re
Gently engaged a gentleman in st. Louis t.
come here about the middle of next month
and give stereo -panoptician exhibition fol-
the benefit of the Presbyterian church
This entertainment has been given In nearl,
all the large cities and towns, and is one Of
the finest things of the kind ever seen in the
United States. A hydro calcium light Of
great power is used, by which views of inter.
esting and famous places are obtained SC
clear-cut and beautiful that the entertain.
ment Is made almost equal to trip around
the world. This is not to be a cheap "magic
lantern show" but grand panorama, such
as is usually seen only in the largest public
halls In the country. The date and the place
where seats can be secured will soon be an
nounced.
The thieves who stole Collins & Stafford's
horses and carriage have been captured, after
a long run, and many and devious windings.
Mr.. Collins tracked them TO Marshfield, and
at times was only twenty miles behind them.
At that place he lost their trail, and so much
time was consumed in locating their route
that he deemed it best to return to Ironton
| and take fresh start. The thieves were
| heading for Arkansas, and, after Mr.. G.. re-
turned to Ironton, he sent out a lot of print
| ed postal cards-most of them toward the
border of the State. The return for his in
| vestment in little printers ink was prompt.
Last Saturday he received a telegram from
West Plains stating that the thieves were
caught and that he should come down,
sS>r %ol~o
went at once, and we presume will return
with his horses and the scoundrels who stole
them in day or two. They were expected
here yesterday ON No. 6O4, but maybe they
will come "oyerand," and that of course
will take day or two longer.
If the thieves are tried here it will take
mighty smart lawyer to keep them out of
the Pen.
The doctors say hearty laugh is more
desirable for mental life than any exercise of
the reasoning faculties; and if a joyous smile
adds an hour to ones life, hearty laugh
should add day. To witness John Thomp-
son, the comedian, i'm his hilarious moroccan
entitled "Around the World" ought surely
to prolong ones life year. His wit, humor
and comicalities have the same effect upon
melancholy person that fire has in damp
house, dispensing chills and drying molds
and making all hopeful and cheerful. We
don't remember of seeing a comedian Of
the Thompson type-so grotesque, so ridic-
ulous, and yet so finished. In "Around the
World" there is an absence of murder, rob-
berry, abduction, villains or villainy; no love-
making or sickly emotional scenes. 1t is
pure, wholesome, unadulterated fun; it is
just the kind of an entertainment man can
take his family to and enjoy. Miss Dotie
Nagle is an accomplished actress, and very
handsome. Miss Molie Thompson has tai
ent bordering on genius. The characters
portrayed by the comedian in "Around the
World" comprise the best in his repertoire.
The number of musical instruments he play
ed with great skill is astonishing. From
Mollie McGormly, who halls from Ireland,
kitchen mechanic, native of the county of
Donegal, who sings:
"I'm from Ireland, Pm from Ireland;
You can tell it by the color Of my hair"
to Moses Abraham, the cheap-clothing man,
the interest never fiagged.-N. Y. Tribune.
