Owing to the institute session

people and carries from 5000 to

finds it difficult to get good talent
to come in here owing to the heavy
cost OF transportation both as to
people and baggage. The company,
II deserving, should receive good
patronage to warrant its return in
the future or to encourage other
troupes to venture so far from the
railroad. 1t has been SO long since
Lewistown was visited by a good
theatrical company that the pros
poets are good for a profitable en-
gagement.
