 At present some repairs are being made upon the upper part of James street which. was almost washed away by storm five of> six weeks ago. The large trench, which was a menace to the life of every teamster who passed by it, was being filled with sand to- day by man and cohort of chil- dren. A push cart was used to carry the sand. Whether the owner of the street is paying for the repairs or some generous individual became wearied of waiting for the necessary repairs and started to repair the street of his own accord, is unknown At any rate it is about time that some person did repair the supposed street.

The company will not confine itself to securing vaudeville and theatrical positions, hut will also engage music, either by recognized bands in the state, drum corps and er- chestral music. In fact, the agency will furnish anything ill the amuse- ment line and will make special efforts Ito secure good positions.
