Handy Andy" was presented TO
very large and appreciatiye audience
at the Opera House, by the Sons of
Veterans Dramatic Company, on Tues
day evening. February 10, 1891. This
company, composed of home talent,
PLAYED q The Montebanks about one
year ago, which was voted a grand
success, but the rendition on Tuesday
night surpassed ali expectations. The
fact that all the reserved seats were
sold previous to Monday, is sufficient
proof that the people of Mineral Point
and vicinity considered a rare treat in
store, and in this they were not disap-
pointed. At the close Of the comedy,
the farce Hans Won Smash, was pre-
sented, and drew forth hearty applause.
Room will not permit US to mention
each character, hut suffice it to say
that the different actors did exceedingly
well, and that the singing was unusually
good. The gross receipts amounted to
about seyenty-fye dollars.
While Mr.. Godfrey Springer was
drawing manure Tuesday, his team
became frightened. He lost control of
them and they ran against a stump,
the wheels passing over both thigh and
leg causing a very bad confusion of
both. He was also hurt about the
head and breast. His injuries are of
very serious nature. DR.. Tallman
called and he is doing as well as can
be expected under the circumstances.

first class article to sell and boldly
makes it known by newspaper adver
Using he will meet with success. News
paper advertising is not experimental,
and, when persisted in for years, will
make a brand well and favorably
known. In confederation of this well
known truth we point to the great
success of the ga Horse Blankets.
Everybody knows about them in this
vicinity, and go where you will from
ocean to ocean, over this broad land,
and you will find the ga manufac
turers advertising their goods boldly,
and that their ga Horse Blankets are
known to be the best and strongest. |
Strength in horse blanket is Of the
utmost Importance because of the
rough usage a blanket gets. There is
more opportunity for deception and
fraud in making horse blankets than
~, ~, Of nt
kind of goods. A blanket with but 4
few warp threads, which will not wear,
often looks as well as 5-A Horse
Blanket with plenty of warp threads.
How often have horse owners bought
slightly blankets and paid good round
price for them only to find that they
have been stuck with blanket that
will go to pieces in a few weeks.
Manufacturers of the strong ga
Horse Blankets made no mistake when !
several years ago they took the stand |
that they would make strong honest
goods which would wear well, and |
that they would advertise them in the
newspapers. The whole country is
now with them in their efforts to pre-
vent owners of horses being deceived
by horse blankets which look well but /
which will not wear well.
