BIJoU COMEDY COMPANY.

The Bijou Comedy company, composed
of home talent. made their appearance at
the Opera house last evening. presenting
the one act comedy Sparkling" and the
farce Deaf as a post" also several special
ties of songs and dances. The company is
not "bijou," but, with the audience, was
rather on the "petite" order. In spark
ing" the speaking parts were entirely too
long. Miss Libbie Arnold, however, has a
very pleasing stage appearance, but her
voice lacks strength; Clara Evans and La
Petite Bijou, in their singing and dancing
did fairly well. Still, the performance
might be called clever for local talent.

Country Roads.

W hat an improvement it would be- if every one owning land fronting on our country roads would take little time now, while they have no work which needs immediate attention and cut down and clean up every unsightly growth of tree or brush, both inside and outside of their own front fences, so that. when Summer comes, they could in a short time, with scythe, keep their fronts clean from weeds or other growth. Now the great trouble in regard to this would be, one owner will sit in the house and say, ssl won'r clean my front because neighbor SD and so won't clean his.'' Now, my friend, there is where you are wrong. Don't wait for him. Clean yours, this year and next and so on and you will certainly find your neighbor will become ashamed of his and clean it up. There is no reason why country roads cannot be made to look nearly us we'll as the city roads. The same trouble is ex- perienced ill the city as l mention in the country, but, instead of waiting in the city for one another, a number take the lead and the others are sure to follow. Now, after reading this, make up your mind that you are not going to wait for any one, but are going to do your own and the others will follow and, after one years trialof 4 clean frontage Of your own property, you will never want it oyergroWn again.
