A Good Show.

Miss Vassie Farrell's opera
company filled a four night en-
gagement at Paris last week.
The members of the troop are
all artists in their line and the
full house every night is evl.
denCe that the patrons of the
Paris opera house and those at.
tending the fair appreciated
their efforts. Miss Farrell is a
native of Monroe county, hav-
ing been raised near Madison
and she is certainly a clever
actress. This company has
been engaged 10 play at Shei.
bina this week and those at
tending the fair from this place
will miss great treat if they
fail TO attend.
