concert, put on by home talent IN Thu
city as soon as possible. Mr.. Meeke
!. thinks there is a great deal of talen
a IN the city. and efforts of this kind ar
i always appreciated and prove an enter
: tainment that is always interesting a NJ
Il one that will be largely attended. ~
Thinks a larger sum can be realized u
,lthis manner than by popular subscrlp
i tions He suggests that it not be mad
q Marshailtown affair alone, but
. county entertainment. and that taien
from the outside towns be solicited. II
offered the suggestion to Manags. d 8
q Speers. of the Odeon, who fell in VIE
4 the idea, and Will be willing TO lool
: after the details ii he can have some as
q sistance The suggestion is good on
and would Undoubtedly afford goo
4 sum for the Ferguson people and al IN
a same time not fan very heavily individ
ually.
