4 Uniqlle entertainment.
Polk Miller's Dialect Recital.
An Evening of Story and Song.
Monday Evening, June p, 1896.

Monday Evening June p, 1896.
For the Benefit of the Mems Reading Room.
Polk Miller, the distinguished Virginia
dialectician and entertainer, has been en-
gsged to appear in Charles Town. Mr.. Mil
Ter will give his recital on Monday evening,
June 22nd, in Charles Washington Hall.
Mr.. Miller is a typical Southern and an
ex-Confederate, a successful business man
and is known to every lover of the hunt
throughout the country. His entertain
ment, "Old Times Down South, is unique.
In story and in song, accompanied by his
banjo, without which it would all be incom-
plete, he pictures to you the everyday life of
the negro as he saw him about his old
Southern home. One moment he has you
holding your sides from laughter, so anus
ing are the anecdotes which he relates, while
in the next moment you are in hearty SYM
pathy with the pathOs of the story of the
days when the old negro was the idol and
the protector of the little ones of their mas
ter's home. Mr.. Miller almost makes you
sorry that old times have changed, and that
the pecularities and old customs of that ele
ment-that race of the Southland-can not
be revised and seen by us as they actually
existed. But since those days are gone and
cannot be lived over again, it is fortunate
indeed for us that there is left us one whose
powers of imitation of that race are unsur-
passed one who knew the old-time negro
in the days of the great civil strife; one who
can picture him to the younger generation
so wildly that but little is lost to us who
only can know by tradition.
Henry Watterson says: Polk Miller, you
have the best one-man show in America.
Chauncey NJ. Depew writes 81 take pleas
ure in certifying to the ability of Mr.. Polk
Miller and the excellence of his recitals."
Thos. Nelson Page says "Polk Miller is a
great success, for he knows the negro, can tell
a negro story and give the true negro dialect
better than any man living"
Rev. J. VIM. Jones says: Polk Miller and
his banjo reproduce the negro of happy days
before the war, and his entertainments give
the highest pleasure and satisfaction to all who
hear him. / do not hesitate to say that 1t is
inimitably done"
Gen. Fitz Lee says 81 know Polk Miller
well. When he is sketching the foe de war
negro, if you did not know he was Polk Mil
Ter you would think he was a darkcy of olden
time, and if you did not know he was an old
time darkey you would think he was Polk

ipg of comfort and satisfaction. You should
not feel any special indications that digestion
is going on. If you do, you have indigestion,
which means uot-digestion. This may be the
beginning of so many dangerous diseases, that
it IS hest to take it in hand at once and treat it
with Shaker Digestive Cordial. Foryou know
that Indigestion makes poison, which causes
pain and sickness. And that Shaker Digestive
Cordial helps digestion aud cures indigestion.
Shaker Digestive Cordial does this by provi-
ding the digestive materials in which the sick
stomach is wanting. It also tones up and
strengthens the digestive organs and makes
them perfectly healthy. This is the rationale
of its method of cure, as the doctors would say.
