Miss Julia Byrnes has had fitted
up one of fastest places in the city
for a millinery store which she now
now occupys After a time when
the weather has moderated she will
announce spring opening of as fine a

The Georgia-up- to-date- Minstrels,
are all right. A very large audience
greeted the performance given by this
company at the Davidson, last night,
and judging from the applause, all
were we'll pleased. The singing and
dancing by the different members of
the company was exceptionally clever.
The contortionist, is the very best ev-
er seen in the opera house. The come
dians are good and their jokes are new
and up-to-date. Carrie b. Wood, the
soprano soloist, compares very fayora-
BILE with Black Patti, and a very bright
prospect of eclipsing that great singer.
The whole show goes with snap, and
reflects great credit on Mr.. Jack Oil
yer, the stage manager of the company
From the st. Cloud Daily Times.
This company will be at Cresco ope
ra house, March l4th.
