There was a very small attendance
at the production of From East to
Vest at the Grand last Wednesday
evening by Katie Emmett and her
company and the performance was

and thunder shows which contain no.
thing that appeals to the better in
stincts of person. However there
were some we presume, who enjoyed
the production.
AT this time of the year merchants
are going to the cities to buy their
fall and winter stocks. The success
full ones will buy literally, come
home and get their stocks in shape,
advertise, hustle and sell them.
Others will put the goods on the shelf,
seat themselves on the counter, and
spend the winter wondering why times
are so hard, while his competitor is
getting rich. The business of today
which is not worth advertising is not
worth owning.
Things are upside down at this
office this week, on account OF the
