MlssisSiDpI State Chemist:

Taken from Official Bulletin, August, 1884,
We call attention to the excellent work OF the
Jackson Fertilizer Company in mixing their
goods The relative values of the different sam
pies of the same brand of their goods are practi-
cally the same, and their effort to secure uni
formity in composition and value of their goods
is worthy Of imitation by other companies.

pl.y Of 'rrilby," which was presented
last night before magnificent and de-
lighted audience fully realized this
feature of tho original work and re-
newed the absorbing interest which the
perussl of this book inspired
The play was splendidly staged and
supsrbly rendered, no weak or inef-
fective work being apparent on the part
OF any OF the characters While all of
the principal characters were splendi6ly
given to those to whom they were as
signed the acting Of Renten Fox, as
Svengali,. was revelation and. held
the audience spell bound by it's int
ensely realistic force.
Marion Grey, as Trilby, created q
most forcible impression, her conception
OF the vagrant life of this heroine in the
Latin QUARTER of Paris, as well as the
horrible hypnotic influence in which
SveDgali possessed over her. being in
telligent in the highest sense.
