Hi Henry's Big City Ministries,
now the largest in the world, after
ten years absence will again appear
in the Newberry Opera House, on
Saturday, Dec, IS, giving two per-
formances, at 2 80 p. m. and 7.3o
p. m. in order that every n will
have an opportunity of seeing this
famous company.
Every one remembers what SEN
sation they caused on their former
visit and the fine performance that
was given. During their absence
they have played the leading cities,
New York, Philadelphia, Washing
ton, Baltimore, Chicago, Cincin-
natl, St. Louis, and San Crancisco,
and have the most glowing enco-
miums from the leading press.
The company this year numbers
48 people and travel in their own
special train of vestibule Pullman
cars, and the performance to be
given here will be precisely the
same as given in New York City at
their opening of the present season.
The first part is an ideal concep-
ton founded upon historical re-
searches of the grand eatrance of
the palace Of the court of Nero.
Everybody should sec this great
minstrel show, as they may never
have the opportunity of seeing
them again nearer than some large
city. S~s@
Seats are now on sale at the usual
place. Matinee IS, IS and IS cents
Reserved seats so cents.
At night IS, 50 and rs cents.

We are not afraid to tell him that

which Christ gave to the world !;
that the things of life become very

A STRANGE VANCOUVER.
Citizens of Prosperity Meet al Armed Foe
In the Woods.

Sunday morning Messrs. B. B.
Hair, c.. A. Woford and Matthew
Boozer had quite an unusual expe-
rience in the woods on the outskirts
of Prosperity.
They we're out for a mornings
walk and when they arrived on the
edge of a swampy place at the foot
of a hill they observed a man stand
ing within a hundred or hundred
and fifty yards of them. The man
had on a long overcoat reaching al
most to his feet, and as sOon as he
saw the above mentioned gentle
men approaching he pulled from
under his coat what appeared to be
a Winchester rifle or rs shooter,
and stepped behind an obstruction.
As the men attempted to walk to-
ward hin, he rnotioned to them to
go. back, at the same tinle raising
his gun in position to fire.
The gentlemen leisurely retraced
their steps and went back to town
and nothing further has been heard
from the stranger.
1t is up to Judge Hair 10 now ex-
plain the manoeuveres of the strange
party.
