Everyone has or should have read Alex
Dumas famous novel, THE Count of
Monte Cristo," which is in all probable
lty the greatest novel of pure incident
ever written. Its dramatic plot makes it
particularly adapted for the stage, and its
dramatizing has long been rich and
varied field for playwrights and favor
lite with the lovers of melo-drama The
dramatizing presented by the Lewis Mon
tie Cristo company will be found most
terse and intense in action, crisp in dia
logue pure in sentiment in word most
perfect dramatic ideal, besides being en-
bellished by magnificent stage mount
ing.

Investment Of Money

No form of investment known to us at
present is as likely to yield such returns
as our present prices on Flour, Corn. Oats,
Cane Seed, Millet, Utah Potatoes, Can
ned Goods, SC. Strange as it may seem
to those who are not posted in the mar
ket value of these goods, will say that
instead of decline in prices, there is an
advance with strong upward tendency,
under such circumstances it looks unrea-
sonable that we would sell below mar
ket value, but such is the case; buying
everything for Spot Cash we are in better
shape at all times to sell you goods less
than any one.
