but it Will be generally conceded that he has made
a good selection.

The old idea entertained by many peo-
pie about minstrel troupe, "That they
were composed of negro clowns who
cracked their vulgar jokes to amuse a
coarse audience" has long since been
dispelled. Minstrelsy, like everything
else, has been revolutionized and adopted
to the tastes Of progressive, criticizing
American public, 80 hat to-day there is
no branch of the theatrical profession
which enjoys the patronage of the peo'
pie to the eextent of the minstrels. Ifyou
wish to enjoy one Of the performances,
go the Armory next Friday eve, where
you will hear the brightest wit, the best
music, both vocal and instrumental, the
funniest sayings and the best vaudeville
performance ever given in Hillsboro.

Big Republican Meetings

Will be held on the 23d of the present
month, and on the I'd of November.
The meeting on the 23d of October will
be addressed by Major Mckinley, and
without saying more of the man, those
who. hear him will have feast of reason
delivered with eloquence. Gen. George
A.. Sheriden, OF Louisiana, a silver
tongued orator, will also be in Hillsboro
on the second of November. We expect
to be able to give the names of other
speakers for the latter date, but at pres
ent the arrangements are not complete.

The management of the Armory have
decided not to bring any but first.class
and Legitimate troupes this season. II
they know nothing about them they do
not propose to let them show. In open
ing the season they have been very
careful to select company firstclass in
every respect. Such is j. X. Emmitt's
Minstrels, supported by Frey's Orchestra.
The company is composed of gentlemen,
most of whom are we'll known to Hills
boro's people, and nothing will be said
or done during the performance that
can possibly offend the highest taste.
It will be an entertainment of wit,
humor and music, and the Armory
should be packed.
