which is new, and small mention of
some past events.
Isl Perkins, was here last week
Tuesday and gave a shortened and
hurried reproduction of their play by
that name. We could not judge of
what the company is capable but
praise fell short here on their per-
formance.
The Fourth was a great day in the
Spring, q large crowd being present,
facilities for taking care of it were
the very best; the program for the
day was varied, interesting and above
the ordinary for country towns.
Nothing was impossible for our peo-
pie, nothing advertised but what oc-
Cured, and the program for sports

citing, and with the merry-go-round,

Prof. Apmadoc's entertainment. The
crowd found plenty to do and see.
The lime Spring boys again showed
their superiority in ball playing by
defeating Baily with ease.

Joe Wilhelm, south of here were quite
badly hurt, how seriously we have
