company is d good one and their rendition
Of this popular play was well received and
frequently and literally applauded. If the
members of the troupe maintain the same
standard of excellence they achieved Mon |
day night, and we have no doubt but that
they will, we predict for them good aud
fences all the week, "a the prices are low,
only 10 and 20 cents, with reserved seats at
so cents, which can be secured at the Drug
Store any time during the day.
An advertising agent came to see us Mon
day morning, and we gave him rates so low
that we are ashamed to quote them; yet he
showed lis contracts for the same advertis
ing he offered us, which were 80, per cent.
lower than ours-contracts made with pa
pers in the Southeast which are always kick |
ing at the low rates given by their neighbors
to "foreign" advertisers. OF course, we
made no contract, and expect to make none
long as we are unwilling to work for
nothing In competition with papers who, |
when fayors are asked, will give them to |
'foreign' advertisers in preference to home |
patrons. We are not built that way, and !
are too old a dog to learn new tricks.
