Full House Assured For
Vaudeville Entertainrn entI

The cemetery improvement fund
comes before the public as an object
worthy of the most liberal patronage
of the city and county. What road
leading out of the city would con-
tribute more to the convenience and
comfolt of the public than would
Twelfth street? Who among us has
not experienced the discomfort of
riding through the sand, dust and
mud to the very gates of the ceme-
terry? The paving of the dis
lance between the city limits
and the cemetery is great I'M
dertaking and will cost large sum
of money, but it is in the hands of
those who will give their best ener-
9ies and influence to carry it to a
successful issue. The Chippiannock
association has promised to do it's
share of the work, property owners
ahutting on the street have promised
to do their part, and with liberal CON
tributions from generous and public
spirited men, the beginning and com
pletion of the road is assured A
goodly sum is already in the bank
awaiting such additions as will justi-
fly the leaders in this great and inn
portant work in setting an early day
for the beginning of it. 1t is earnest
~ hoped by those having it in charge
that our citizens will be alive to the
necessity of it and respond generous
ly to the appeals which must and will
be made to them from time to time.
A vaudeville entertainment will be
given Tuesday night at the Illinois
theatre bV the best amateur talent
of the tri-cities. 1t will be unique
and delightful entertainment. and it
is hoped that full house will greet
the performers and encourage them.
