Alba Haywood played to large audi
ence at the Opera House last Thursday
evening, February IL. His impersona-
tions were very good and invariably re-
ceived amidst an uproar of laughter
Miss Steele, pianist, and Miss Drescher
violinist rendered some very excellent
selections but In justice to the former
it should be stated that the old opera
piano is very poor instrument for
such a skilled musician. Talley, the
vocal soloist, was also very entertaining
in his line. The different performances
were well received and all were heartily
and enthusiastically encored. The au-
dlence was partially disappointed in
that three or four act comedy was ex-
pected instead some of the musical Sc
lections and representations. However
as an impersonator and entertainer
Haywood is hard to beat.

Correspondents must confine them.
selves to news events. Long eulogies
on departed statesmen, reproductions
of French writer's on Napoleon and re-
views of Shakespeare's and Longfel-
lows works, however condensed, are
not suited to news correspondents.
Productions like these are not calculat-
ed for county newspapers; they are bet
ter suited for large magazines where
preparations are made to handle such
matter.

Co. Supt. Shell is assisting in the city
schools this week. 1t seems that G. d.
Rackley has more pupils in the gram
mar room than can be handled with
justice to the teacher and pupils and
the Board has relieved that room of a
number of those who are more advanc-
ed and placed them in Prof. Messerley g
room. This necessitates an assistant
in that room and Mr. Shell is working
10 that capacity until the Board will be
able to secure another teacher.
