In Town,

We have been in the town sever.
al days, have learned some things
and have forgotten as many more.
We have been married three times
and regret that we did not marry
at least once in Savannah. The
boys around town say that when
tho girls look at Lige Ross, his
foot goes to sleep; we don't
think he ought to 60 to sleep at
the wrong time. Alb DeBarry
ought to be sent to Cuba, as he
will never marry any way.
We have but little confidence
in Geography; it dose not say any
thing about the big gulleys about
Savannah, and the sad conditi on
of the courthouse and Jail. Some
of the boys carried before the
grand jury tell a straight tale,
butt is like John GOber's mules
it is in the wrong direction. j

AT LIBRARY HALL.
Performance Saturday Even
ing equal to that of Train
ed Talent.
JOHN REGINALD CUNNINGHAM.

The Play Saturday evening at
the Library Hall was well attend.
ed and the skill shown in carrying
out the program was a credit to
our local talent. Those who fail
cd to attend lost a treat.
Our business men generally who
were interested in the success OF
the entertainment, as we'll as the
managers, very much appreciated
the valuable assistance of that
refined musician, John Reginald
Cunningham, who played some
important parts. The rendition
of Annie Laura by Mr.. Cunning
ham brought outa storm of ap.
plause, followed by a long and
loud encore.
Mrs. John M. Williams and Mrs.
d. \. McDougal in their readings
showed their training in elocution
to have been excellent. Mrs.
McDougal, iu the Debating Soci-
ETY., had a very difficult piece,
initiating some of our local de-
batera, but she was equal to the
occasion.
Annie Churchwell, in Betsey's
visit, amused the audience, and, in
response to an encore, asked if
she was old enough to have a beau.
Mr.. Taliaferro sang Henrietta.
If you have never had the pleas
ure of hearing him sing, you should
lose no time in having him sing
you a song.
1t was Miss Fannie Broyles
who brought down the house in
great applause, singing, Going
through the tunnel. Every man,
woman and child, wished in their
heart it had been them.
The Fortune Teller, by Charles
Williams, John Meredith and Miss
Fannie Broyles and Miss Lizzie
Meredith was just splendid. Call
on Charlie Williams if you want
either a fortune told or a match
made.
Miss Bessie Williams presided
at the piano during most of the
evening.
Character song, by Padfield,
Meredith, Taliaferro and Misses
Meredith, Doran and Fannie
Broyles, was unique in costume
and a burlesque ON a country
dance.
Miss Barlow recited a piece,
taking the place of Miss Carter.
The receipts were $24.1O.

The editor aod his family re-
turned the first Of the week from
a four weeks sojouin with
friends in Michigan, visiting;
Saginaw, Bay City, Grand HAY
en- and vicinity, and the farming
country Of Monroe county. The
trip was one OF great pleasure i'll
the greeting OF relatives and
friends of former years and the
satisfaction of again viewing
old familiar scenes, among them
those Of our boyhood days. We
are pleased to state that the cities
of Michigan are commencing to
feel the impulse Of better times.
and in some OF these, notably
Grand Rapids, a wonderful i'm
prOvement III business matters
is already apparent, numbers OF
manufacturing e "a blis Inn entS
running 10 their full capacity
and some Of them with q lar
ger force than they have ever
before employed. The agricni
tural locality we visited, which
is considered one of the best in
the state, being one OF the old
est settled portions, has many
fine farms, comfortable homes
and inviting orchards, and the
people being generally wen-to-do.
The smaller farms and indeed
many Of the larger ones are be-
ing largely turned to fruit rails
ing, as growing wheat on land
costing from $50 to $40 an acre
is not generally a profitable occG-
patton. While the Michigan
farmer has some advantages ov-
or the farmer, Of this prairie
country, for the man possessed
of little capital but his muscle
and brains our observation is the
advantages are ail oD the side OF
this newer country with its fer
tile soil and inyigoratin climate.
