ENTERTAINMENT
Rr severn Division U. r. K. OF ?.


On Tuesday evening, February 18th.
musical and literary entertainment
will be given at the Opera House, under
the auspices of Severn Division No. 8,
| Uniform Rank Knights Of Pythlas.
which will, without doubt. be one of the
most enjoyable and pleasing that our
citizens have had the opportunity 10
witness for some time. The entertain
ment will be furnished by home talent
and the ladies and gentlemen taking part
are well known to our citizens. They
have been studying hard for several
weeks, and propose TO make this the best
one of the many good entertainments
given under the auspices Of this we'll
known and popular organization. The
entertainment will be of character
that all, old, young, middle aged, church
members, non-church members, aud all
others who wish clean, entertaining and
wholesome enjoyment can patronize. In
fact, one of the chief objects that Severn
Division has in view for giving this en-
tertainment to allow those of its MEM
bers and friends who do not attend balls
an opportunity to enjoy themselves aud
participate in the good things furnished
by this organization. The prices of ad-
mission have been set at low figure,
indeed, far below what would be deemed
reasonable price of admission to first
class entertainment of this character.
In this connection, we would say, the
entertainment cannot be judged by the
amount of the admission fee, but the
tickets are placed at the very low figures
of S5, 25, and Is cents in order that all
may have an opportunity To see what a
fine and able class of home talent Anna
polls can boast Of The 80 cent tickets
viii entitle the holder To a reserved seat,
if said holder will go to the City Drug
Store where they will be on sale, and
have his or her seat checked off; the 25
cent tickets are for general admission
and the Is cent tickets Will admit the
bearer to the gallery. The two last
named classes of tickets can be secured
from Boesell's Jewelry Store, Church
street.-See large bills.

The Senate yesterday passed Senator
Emory's bill, prepared by Prof. y. +.
Pretty man, of the State Normal scnooi
relating to the election Of public school
teachers in the counties. There - some
uncertainty in the existing law as TO
whether the teachers are appointed by
the school commissioners or by the local
trustees. The bill requires the trustees
to elect the principals OF the schools and
the commissioners TO appoint the assls-
tants. That is the method already ~
practice and this bill is to legalize IL.

George w. Jenkins, editor of tue Santa

various ailments of children said: When
my children have Group there is only
one patent medicine that | ever use, and
that is Chamberlain Cough Remedy.
1t possesses some medical properties
that relieve the little sufferers immedi-
ately. 1t is, in my opinion, the best
cough medicine in the market. " If
this remedy is freely given as soon as
the croupy cough appears it will pre-
vent the attack. 1t is an ideal remedy
for whooping cough. There is no dan.

Michigan Crop Report.

For this report on wheat more than
LOO returns have been received, repre-
genting all parts of the state. The cor
respondents estimate the yield per acre
in bushels and not in percentage of
previous or average crops. The average
of the estimates for the state and each
section is as follows: State, 9.8S
bushels; southern counties, GA
bushels; central counties, lib bushels;
northern counties, 1882 bushels, and
upper peninsula, Ia bushels. The esti-
mate for the state is the lowest ever
made July 1; it is nearly bushels
lower than the estimate of July 1, 1894,
and nearly z bushels lower than the
average yield in the eighteen years,
1S76-1S93.
The light crop is mainly because Of
the drouth that has prevailed all the
season and still continues, yet other
causes have worked more or less in
jury. A correspondent well says:
Light top last fall, freezing and thaw-
ing in spring, frosts in May, and drouth
in April, May and June" To these
should be added extensive damage by
insects.
The number of bushels of wheat re-
ported marketed in June Is 522,311 as
compared with 1851 reported market
ed in June, 1894, and the amount mar
keted in the eleven months. August
June, is 1865, 800 bushels as compared
with 14,298,3O bushels in the same
months last year.
The acreage planted to corn Is slight
ly in excess of the acreage, and the
condition is 81 per cent of condition, in
average years.
Oats are estimated at 81 per cent of
an average crop. The average for the
southern counties is only 81 per cent.
The acreage planted to potatoes Is
per cent in excess of average years, and
in condition the crop promises SO per
cent of an average. Corn and potatoes
seem to have stood the drouth remark
ably we'll. If an abundance of rain
comes soon both crops may be expected
to yield fairly we'll
Meadows and pastures were probably
never in poorer condition at this date,
and the spring seeding to clover lie
nearly all lost.
The outlook for apples and peaches
Is not encouraging. The former prom
ises perhaps one-third, and the latter
five-eighths of an average crop.

Fond of Figures.

Although Jose Echegaray, the Span
ish dramatist, has written more than
hundred plays during the past twenty
years, nearly all of them successful, he
aspires to be famous as a mathematician
rather than as a playwright. He writes
plays in the intervals of leisure from
his scientific studies, and none Of them
has cost him more than a fortnight's
labor. Echegaray is lively old man
of 20, and he has recently learned to
ride the bicycle. He makes the curious
boast that up to the age of so he had
read every novel published in England.
