ing bags or beans at hole in a box
proved very fascinating. From the
score we fancy that the good marksmen
were all away. A magic lantern illus
tration of Gilpin's ride and other works,
accompanied by an explanatory lecture
by Rev. Dewart. was rich in sport. We
all wish to be there again.
Some people seem to have got the
Farmers Fire and Storm Mutual Insur-
ance Company of Mower county mixed
up with the Farmers Mutual Live Stock
Association that lately moved from here
to unite with company at Marion, Iowa.
The two companies are and always have
been, totally separate and distinct. The
Farmers Fire and Storm Mutual Insur-
ance Company is here to stay, as its of.
ticers and directors are old and reliable
farmers whose homes have been in Now
err county for years in the past and will
continue to be so in all probability for
years in the future. The meeting of the
financial committee last Thursday shows
the company to be in aourishing condi-
ton, both as to members and finances.
The report will be found in another
column.
The great war drama True Blue"
will be presented at the Opera House,
Friday and Saturday evenings March is
and II. The production of this interest
ing play will be under the management
of F. L. Hunt, assisted by large number
of the young ladies and gentlemen of
Austin. and preparations are being made
to present it in the best possible manner.
The scene is laid in Missouri, just prior
to the war, and represents encounters be-
tween men and women who are loyal to
the union and the confedcrates who
seek to destroy by determination every
Union man. Following is an extract
from the Boone Republicans: Mr.. F L..
Hunts True Blue company closed a five
nights engagement with the G.. A. R.
last Saturday evening to a crowded
house. The play is good one, and was
produced in an excellent manner, aud
goes to show that home talent under
such efficient training and management
as Mr.. Hunts can excel many of the
would be professionals who visit our
city.
