A Rich Entertainment.

That is what the performance at
Burwell Hall was Monday night when
"a Breezy Time' was presented by
Fitz and Webster's admirab Bile company
OF artists. The bill was varied and
rich throughout. There was fun and
laughter from the time the curtain rose
on the first act until it went down on
the closing scene. All the specialtes
were good, each actor an artist, his or
her work being of a high order. The
costumes were handsome and appro-
pirate to the character portrayed, every
thing bespeaking a high standard Of
excellence and merit. Among the
dozen members of the company there
is not all interior performer, and where
all were so good we will not particular
ize. Suffice it TO say it was one of the
very best and most enjoyable enter
talnments ever given in Burwell Hall.
1t was gratifying to see SO large and
intelligent an audience present. They
deserved even better patronage.
There was perfect good order, the noisy
small boy,element being conspicuous by
its absence. We hope Fitz and Web
ster will come to Henderson and give
us "A Breezy Time" again.

of the prisoner and to his previous
good character. His counsel,
Messrs. Jones and Tillett pleaded
eloquently for the minimum

Glenn argued with power for the
maxium. Before the discovery Of
his peculation he was a man OF
reputation and the greatest popu-

they would never go back to rice,
and if flour can be placed within
their reach a demand vii quickly
be created so large that all the
flour mills on the Pacific coast will
not be able to meet a tenth part
Of it. President Hill Of the Great
Northern thinks -four could be
carried to China and sold there
for ! /! cents a pound, and return
cargoes secured to make a line Of
steamers pay. Ifthe matter prom
