The MinstreIs.
Fields and Hanson's binstrels were
greeted at the operahouss last Monday
night by an audience that ought to
have made any chow manager feel
glad. There were but fey unoccupied
seats in the house. Aslto numbers
especially, the company showed up

jokes were old and stale, add impaired

reserved seats. They removed their
hats in order that others less favorably
situated might see what was going on.
The minstrels went from Yorkville to
Rock Hill. y

people of York county give more at
tention to their public schools than to
apy other public institutions. The
