A Letter to Jasper.
By "UN0LR JACK" MILNER.

Dear Jasper:-Replying to your welcome enaulry of recent date, rel ative to the conditions of trade, and the confidence ia all markets, beg to say that at the opening of the cotton market for the week, the Bureau report was surprise 10 the major part of the Bull element, who sui fered tue loss of few horns iG the stampede of quite 50 points on drop market of few hours. But the Bulls recharged the enemy, driving the "Bruin' ooys out of the Pitts. And at the close of the week
 we are happy to report all losses have been fully recovered, and Janu- ary cotton has mark to its credit of 2 points higher than the same date last week. Spots are in good demand, and the staple has lots of friends. Pork, lard and bread foods are in good demand at present val
 ues. We predict higher prices on
 cereals during the spring months. At present we see nothing that is likely to disturb the happiness of the farmers and merchants of our Southern States, and as Chris tmas | is here, and the old year will soon be numbered with the happy recollec-
 tions of the past, we feel safe in the prediction that monument to the memory of old 1900 will be erected
 in the mind and hearts of thousands Of the horry-aanded sons of toil,
 who will, once in quarter of cer- tury, eat their Xmas turkey without fear of being arrested for removing mortgaged property. Yes, the peo. 1 pie have new shoes, new hats, new
 wagons with spring seats, plenty of jyellow sugar aud glnger cakes, with an occasional new baby, aud it's name is Prosperity Tie country mer- chant whose cranium is made bald

As a result of the darkness of that thoroughfare, two bnggies coIlided on West Fifth avenue Saturday night, to the serious damage of the vehicles. Fifth avenue is the main driving thoroughfare of the city. and it is nothing short of an outrage on the tax payers that the street is not lighted.

A Bunch Of Roses.

Inc amateur entertainment given at
Kittson Hall on Wednesday evening
drew large audience. MIR. ]. D. Win.
law was the manager and under his ex-
perienced tuition the actors each and all
acquitted themselves ably and all. except
miss Rosy Livingston" handsomely.
The opening farce of the ''Villain and
Victim" was of only two characters, and
consisted of rehearsal of a play in
which the husband was to act the villain
and the wife to be the victim, but as the
rehearsal of the play was necessarily"
interrupted by many explanations be-
tween the married lovers, that it was
not real, but only the words of the play,
the whole performance was very anus
ing. Mrs. F. A. Feldman took the VIC
TINS part and Mr.. ]. D. Winlaw was the
villain.
The Bunch of Roses" is kind of
half musical, a half sketchy sort of play
without plot or story, but is full of fun
and nus ment. 1t started in by Mrs.
Rose (Mrs. F. A. Feldman) coming to a
summer boarding house with her 'steen
daughters who are the Bunch of Roses'
and the "Rosebuds." Not finding any,
body about the house except the one
gentleman boarder unprecedented by Mr..
u. D. Winlaw, and one servant who could
only say II think so" miss Minnie
Nixon and another servant whose vo-
cabulary was ''No Ma'am" eyes Ma'am"
miss Gertie Felson.) Mrs. Rose in
troduced to the boarder her 'Bunch of
Roses" Misses Lulu Nelson, Gertie
Bates, Vida McCaffery, Mary O'Hara,
G, rite Kemp and Irene Aylen, who,
after singing ''that they were from Kala-
mazoo," were followed by the Crosse
buds" leila Switzer, Ruby Mclean,
Mildred Price and Martina Keller, who
sang some Mother Goose Ballads IN very
sweet and winsome way. Then came a
series of living pictures. The first was a
living (stone) picture, verv realistic, OF
an Irish lady playing on a hydraulic
lpiano-.sometimes called wash board
Others of similar nature also amused
the audience. Miss Gertie Bates gave
the solo of cold Folks at Home" with
the "Rosebuds" joining in the chorus.
The final scene was the entrance of Mr..
!, Cargill as "Johnny Jones" who sang that
"He was from Timbuctoo and had come
to see the girls from Kalamazoo" with
such effect that he was captured by the
mother of the .Rosebuds forthwith. in
spite of the protests OF the daughters and
submitted to his fate with great deal OF
grace, assisted largely by the endeavors
of Miss Bridget Malone whose 'trous-
seau" and general get up reflected much
credit on Mr.. Livingston. The operetta
closed with patriotic song, and Miss
LaMoure as goddess of liberty in tab.
leau.
As we said in the beginning the whole
affair was very pleasing and much en-.
joyed by the audience. The receipts
were about $40 and are for the benefit OF
the Episcopal church.
A dress rehearsal was given the even
ing previous and was opened to the chill.
dren for small admittance fee and was
well attended. We do not desire to dis.
tinguish where all did so well, but espec-
ial mention is deserved by Mrs. Feldman,
who was almost constantly on the stage,
and took her part SO easily and naturally,
that it added much to the completeness

Tax Paying.

The total collections at the county
treasurer's Office for January foot up to
S104, 603. The largest days collection
was January 3Oth and amounted to near
ly $4,000.
Notwithstanding these heavy payments
which in themselves are the largest in
the history of the county, the treasury is
short about $50, 900 of amount paid pre-
vious to delinquency in previous years.
But in previous years personal tax was
delinquent a month sooner and real
estate month later, while now both are
delinquent together. The result looks
as if the former system were the better
one. We think that personal taxes
which are to some extent precarious,
ought to be delinquent about February
LIST, two months after due, while real
estate tax which is amply secured, could
be left to June LIST, with advantage to all
concerned, and especially to the tax
payer who would not need to "dig up
SO much money at one time. Abou,
Sc, 900 of the collections above mentioned
were from the school lands.
