"Turn of the Tide" as presented
Tuesday evening at the G.. A. r. hall
by local talent proved a grand success
in every way. Those taking part are
highly praised by all who were fortu-
nate enough to attend. The proceeds
go to the Degree of Honor and
amounted to about $50, gross.
Someone has reported that Col.
Frost was a white-livered coward. His
action in killing, with his revolver,
two Filipinos who were attempting to
capture him and the word coming
from his own troops that he rode at

puts the lie to such statements.

no less than thirty returns from the

that the REGISTER 10 well read and
that people are interested in Brook
ings county.
