The coming attraction at the Leon
opera house on May 81, is the justly
celebrated comedy drama, Isl Perkins"
The exchanges which come from the
cities where this play was presented
have nothing but good things to say of
"Si Perkins" Its author has certainly
struck the popular chord, for among the
American people the quaint Yankee
character is ever source of amusement,
and often of admiration. Sam Burton
and Lille Coleman, the celebrated
dialect artists, will be seen in the title
roles, which means laugh every minute.

Isl Perkins the celebrated rural
drama, is billed to appear at the Leon
opera house on next Tuesday, May 81.
Judging from the fattering notices which
the company has received from the press
in the cities which "Si'' has visited, the
prospect for fun on the above date is
good. Like all plays of the "Rube''
order Isl Perkins possesses a large
budget of good, wholesome fun; the
Yankee wit is so woven into the dra.
matte lines that the auditor is one min
ute laughing with honest. hearted "Sl''
and the next his eyes are briming over
with sympathetic tears. No class OF
dramatic productions appeal so strongly
to the heart as those of the rural order.
Every American is familiar with the
Yankee nature. Shrewd, witty and
honest, he possesses charm of person.
atty which is particularly attractive
and, when upon the mimic stage we can
see his prototype, tits little wonder that
such pieces as Isl Perkins" receive a lib.
eral patronage from American playgoers.
The present company have for some
seven seasons presented the play, and il
goes without saying perfect portrayal
will be Witnessed.

ready to be set. 1t was moved from the
depot last Saturday and Sunday on q
big log wagon with six teams, the Job
being bossed by Dan Bright. The boiler
was so heavy it broke the wagon down
a couple Of times, the last time at the
corner OF Main and Commercial streets
where the wagon was abandoned and
the boiler rolled down the bill to the
light house. II will be placed alongside
the boiler now in use which will be kept
for emergency use, thus giving the light
plant two boilers each Of which can be
used.
