A very successful ableau-entertain-
ment was recently given in New York,
the subjects being taken from illus
trations in the current magazines.
The idea is simple one, and if the

Company has prepared list of suit
able pictures with suggestions for any
one who wishes to get up the enter
tainment. They will send it free Oh
request.

The residence on the w. c. Thrash
er farm north of town was totally de-
stroyed by fire last Friday night. 1t
was occupied by Mr.. Robert Lamb
and family, all of whom had retired
before the fire broke out so that it
gained so much headway before being
discovered as to leave no possibility
of extinguishing 1t. Indeed the FAM
lily were unable to secure even all
their clothing and lost everything
that was in the house except few
articles of furniture. Neither the
house nor its contents was insured, so
the loss is total. Mr.. Thrasher will
rebuild at once.
Yates Center Democrat: Two gen-
tlemen of lola are in the city selliug
territory for q new patent |
lightning ice cream freezer. They |
have the machine on exhibit at Kreu-
gers bakery, and served ice cream
free yesterday. They pour the lacteal
fluid i'm at one end of the machine,
give the crank one turn and the
cream comes out at the other end of
the machine, frozen as nice and
smooth as any cream we ever ate. 1t
IS indeed wonder, and the inventor
has made himself rich from the sale
If territory in one short month.
The lecture of Hon. A. r. Greene,
1T the Grand Army entertainment,
was the feature of the evening and has
made more talk than anything which
mas happened in literary circles for
many day. We confess our igno-
.ance and declare that until we heard
his lecture, we did not know that we
mad on this continent and within the
of the United States, such
III interesting historic relic as Old
Fort San Marcos, with its draw
bridge, moat and portcuilis and all
he accessories of an European castle
If the Feudal period. We shall take
occasion to read up in the future on
hese charming old milestones along
he pathway of civilization. ."-Cedar

Carthage No. Banner, Jan. 20.
Our fellow townsman, ID. B. ID.
;meltzer, traded his store last Novem-
yer for a fourth interest in the above
mines, containing SS acres of what is
to be some of the finest and
ichest lead and zinc land in the Car
hage mining district. Mr.. S. thinks
le has struck bonanza, as hepropel-
Y has more than doubled in value
ince he purchased it. We certainly
lope his most sanguine expectations
will be more than realized.
We were taken by the hand and led
nto blood-stained dungeons of two
centuries ago, where all the horrors
f the Spanish 1nquisition were prac-
iced on the victims of their intrigues {
n love and war, and above which the
annon of Oglethorpe thundered long
,efore the Revolution. 1t was a
TRANCE and thrilling experience" ]
