the city with the view of erecting q

paying 66 cents for No. wheat, and
the receipts we're very large:

people. The singing of Miss Benham
was exceptionally fine, and her rem
dictions of the difficult selections
showed marked qualification for fine
grand opera work. Miss Benham has
improved wonderfully since her last
appearance in this city. Miss Benham
was assisted in the program by her
sister and Miss Blickfelt, an elocution-
list, and Mesdames Cooper and John
SOD, the latter two of this city.
