The Individual had evidently been
possessed of sufficient perseverance TO
provide himself with quantities of that
particular BRAND commonly handed to
the provincial customers in the corner

his pins when he recited the story OF
his misfortune TO the copper.

MERRY MINSTREL MEN
VIII Make Things Hum Mt the
Casino Next Week.

CASINO Next week.
Pleased as the Casino audiences are
this week with the performances CIV
en- every afternoon and evening by
the Ping Pong Trio" and other ar
lists, they are yet looking forward
eagerly to the appearance of the Pan
American MINISTRIES, who will be at
the Casino all next week
The Augusta Tribune said of the
Ministries:
THE show at Monte Sano pavilion
this week is one that will draw.
Though the weather was unpropitious
last night there was a greater than
usual Monday night attendance and 1t
is no exaggeration to say that never
an audience at the pavilion was better
pleased or a troupe of performers
more heartily applauded than last
night The performance is merito-
rious throughout and contains not
single feature that is Objectionable.
The first part of the entertainment,
the minstrel proper, was very good.
There were a number of new songs
and jokes, and also some of the latter
which are old acquaintance, but the
voices are good, and altogether the
minstrel medley is well up to high
mark.
THE second part, specialties, held
the attention of the audience in a
continuous performance and with con-
slant applause, the Musical Martins
rendering classical as well as popular
music with a skill that is wonderful,
the Leightons with their comic song
and dance specialties, especially the
rag-time baseball game. The Pan
American Four. in their comedy sing
ing act, An Amateurs Night were all
well received and roundly applauded.
The entertainment closed with the La
Toy brothers, giving a barrel jump
ing and acrobatic act, combining the
marvelously dexterous with the en-
tertainingly ludicrous Altogether the
performance was such as to please all
and offend none"

being done by the farmers who
read agricultural literature, or those

do read such literature. W. find
that many farmers are opposed to
such work and say that scientific or

that reason they do not care to take

that he can. If he does not care to
follow the advice given, it will arouse
him and cause him to have a desire
