ABERDEEN.

Aberdeen" played to big house
last night in spite of the inclement
weather. Although the play was late in
beginning, the Denison orchestra kept
the audience in good humor by. its ex-
cellent music. We believe we are fully
justified in saying that the performance
was better than many PROFESSIONAL
entertainments which have been given
here. Mr.. Lawrence Russell both in
his part and in his work as drill master
showed himself to be an expert, and it
is indeed astonishing that he could pro
duce such good results from raw mate
rial in the space of ten days. Miss
Dora Swearingen played the part of

The gross receipts of the performance
were over 800 and the Log rolling fund
is some $25 richer on account of it,.
The Woodmen wish to thank the citi.
Zens for their generous patronage and
to express their confidence and esteem
for Mr.. RUSSELL,
