On Monday and Tuesday evening
of next week one of the finest musical
comedy companies that has ever
visited our city will be at the opera
house. The company to whom we
refer is no less than the Nellie Wal
ters' Criss Cross Co, company
headed by one ofthe brightest SOU
brettes on the American stage to-day,
and the company is composed of
comedians of acknowledged ability.
Criss Cross is one of those bright
comedies that never fails to catch the
audience, being brim full of action,
vim and fun from start to finish and
contains nothing that could offend
the most fastidious, while the fun is
fast and furious from the raising of
the curtain until the going down of
the same. Miss Nellie Walters, the
star, is one of those bright, handsome
little ladies that seems to make
friends at once, and in the States
north of us where the company has
been playing, her name has become
almost q household word. There is
no doubt but that this is the best mu-
steal comedy company that has ever
visited our city, and we bespeak
them a full house, as they surely de
serve it. s.

A Splendid Military Organization Com
posed of the Flower OF Our City.

Last evening having few spare
moments on our hands, and hearing
that the GAINESVILLE City Guards were
to be out for drill, we wended our
way to the Court House, and were
Just in time to meet the boys on the
way to the drill room in the second
story. Ascending the stairs we found
ourselves Gin a large square room,
round which. the boys were marching
in single file. They were under the
able leadership of Captain Howard
and Lieutenant Caldwell and Purcell,
and certainly company never had
better or more soldierly appearing Of
ficers. The company present, num-
bering about twenty-five, we're put
through a thorough course Of march
ing, counter marching, and the man
ual of arms. The boys have only
been organized for few months. and
the manner in which they handled
their guns and obeyed the different
orders would have done credit to a
much older organization. Indeed,
we predict that it willnot be long be-
fore they will be the, crack military
company of the State.
They were allowed to come out for
the first time with theirnew uniforms
and guns, and officers and men looked
decidedly handsome. Their guns are
Of the latest Springfield pattern, and
are made for business, as we'll as for
show. OF cousse the boys are all
eager to try the guns, and we suggest
that good time for them to
begin is to orgc nize turkey shoot
for Thanksgiving day. Let some one
put up a series Of small prizes and let
the boys shoot for them. In this way
they would have a chance to try their
guns, and would become douhly in
terested in the company.
Under the able leadership of Lieu
tenant Gracey Childers, we were es-
corted to the gun room in the base
ment. Although the room has not
yet been fitted up properly, it will be
shortly. 1t is proposed to have one
end of the room taken up with q row
of enclosed wardrobes. Every man
having one to himself in which to
keep his uniform, or to put his
clothes in when on duty. These
Wardrobes are to be provided with
lock and key. On the other side Of
the room will be the gun racks. A
curtain will be hung in front of the
guns for the purpose of keeping of
the dust, while seats will
be scattered around the room for the
convenience Of the members. In q
room adjoining the drum corps were
noisily practicing, and are rapidly
gaining efficiency in the use Of the
sticks. 3
Altogether the company is one that
is a credit to the city and are deserv-
ing of support. We hope to see them
out for public drill in a short time.

ONLY ONE MAN SHAVED YESTERDAY.
The Barber Who Did that Job Was Promptly
Arrested for Desecrating the Sabbath.

So far as could be learned, but one was
shaved by barber in Indianapolis yesterday.
He was travelling man, stopping at the Grand
Hotel. He had his work done in the shop at
tao he'd to the hotel. A few minutes after he got
into the chair Captain Campbell and Sergeant
Wheatly appeared and notified George L. Hof-
man. the proprietor of the shop, who was doing
the work, that he might consider himself under
arrest. By permission of the officer Mr.. HoH-
man was permitted to finish shaving the man.
After he had finished he accom-
panied the officers to the station
house and was charged with descreting the Sab
bath. He gave bond for his appearance before
the Mayor and was releasged
Great interest will center in the test case be-
fore the Mayor this morning. Both the closing
AID the antl-closing organization will be repre-
sented by able attorneys. The bosses, relying
upon the decisions of Mayor Caven while he
was in Office, expect Hoffman to be acquitted
and in case they victorious all the shops
will be open usual next Sundays
1t is quite evident that the closing movement
does not meet with much favor as it did when
it was first inaugurated. Many of the journey
men BARRIERS dissatisfied with it. As mat
ter of fact, they work more hours now than they
did when they did hat days work on Sunday.
Then they were allowed a half day off each
week: now they are not. and instead OF quitting
promptly at il o'clock Saturday night they are
compelled work until II and o'clock In order
to accommodate customers.
