AtticaAdvocate: Talk about shrink
age in prices of property! The apprais-
ers of the sugar works did not seem to
have very exalted appreciation of the
value of sugar factories, at least. when
they appraised the Attica Sugar Works
at $4,000, including the land upon
which they stand! We can name three
pieces of machinery in the mill the cost
of which equals that amount. There
is something rotten in this appraise-
This whole sugar mill business is an
enigma and should be slfted to the bot

The entertainment given at the opera
house last Friday night, tor the benefit
of Elder Nicholson, was very well at
tended, though the house was not
crowded. The night was unusually
warm, which doubtless kept some away.
The entertainment was good from first
to last. The singing by the children
was better than usual. The farce was
very we'll presented, and the whole af-
fair was well conducted, and moved
along smoothly, with no tiresome wait
ing. There is probability that the
company will be called upon to present
tie same programme in one of our
neighboring cities. The receipts were
quite satisfactory.
