The Hans Hanson Comedy Company
at the Academy of Music Tuesday
evening was greeted by a full house,
and a very creditable entertainment
was given-the best for years. This
Company is one of the best on the road,
and the REGISTER takes pleasure in
commencing 1t to the people of South
east Missouri. An excellent brass band
and orchestra are by no means its least
attractive features.

The Farmers Institute Meetings

and Tuesday, as per announcement.
The attendance was not so large as it
ought have been-for the ends aimed

This organization has now been in ex-
