REPUBLICAN, the west side merchants,
Charles Fischer & Son, make an inter
esting announcement regarding their
grand fall opening, which occurs Thurs
day, October TO- This new firm is
evincing commendable enterprise in
mercantile circles and it's success
should be complete. Some rare bar
gains are offered for the opening, which
it would be we'll for all intending pur-
chasers to notice. Do not fail to glance
over the large, attractive "ad."
1t has often been asked, why do
we not have better theatrical attrac-
tons in Watertown? The answer is
simple-want of patronage. Travelling
companies know a town by reputation
and will avoid towns where poor at
tendance is rule. Turner Opera house
is as good a tbeater as one will find in
city of this size, with stage room to
produce any attraction coming to one
night stands. AS a rule "Uncle Toms
Cabin" and "hayseed" band attractions
draw better houses here than any first
class company. This should not be,
and the remedy lies with the public.
Give your support and better attrac-
tions can be induced to visit our city. A
public hall such as Turner Opera house
ought to be pride to our citizens, and
ought to be filled oftener than once in
four years, when a presidential cam
paign is on and the admission free. II
costs something to keep up a property
of this size and every dollar is spent al
home. Companies playing here do
not take every dollar with them, as
they pay hotel bills, advertising, bag.
gage transfer, ETC., which all helps tc
make business for everybody. Go and
see "Maloney's Wedding" Sunday
evening, September 20.
