FINE MINSTREL SHOW.
The Ted E. Faust Ministries Clean,
Wholesome and Entertaining.

From the Bristol, Tenn, Times OF
Oct. Is, we take the following con-
corning the Ted E. Faust Minstrels,
which attraction will appear at
Cooper Opera House next Tuesday
evening, Oct. 9th:
Surprising in scenic beauty, richness
OF costume, freshness of selections, even
the predictions Of the advance agent,
clean, wholesome and entertaining, the
Ted. E. Faust Minstrels, by perfection in
their production won Bristol audience
last night at the Harmeling.
Midday with Milford occupied the or
chestra and from the rise of the curtain
on Sunny Italy, until the Faust ac-
robatic troupe closed the entertainment
there was not one dull moment
Minstrelsy-the old and the new
blending in perfect harmony, the one
amusing, the other instructive
The singing was by far the best at the
Harmeling. A quartet made about the
best music that could be had In 'Old
Homestead, it has been said that an I'M
egualled quartet is engaged, yet were
they better than the ones heard here last
night, the difference would certainly not
be appreciate to a mixed audience Glen
de Bruin in Building Castles in the Air.
was inspiring, fresh. In clear, rich
voice he sang and spell-bound-the audi
ence hung on his words, seemingly afraid
to stir lest they would break the sweet
melody.
In comedy, wit and repartee, the pro-
duction of last evening has few if
any equals. The end men were good,
and their songs, dances and jokes were
new. There was none of the old-time
'chestnuts' usually heard from the
mouths of end men. Pop Carr on the
right and "Gov" Bowen on the left made
team hard to match
The elite of the city attended the play.
Individually the actors made good. In
deed it was one of those productions
wherein critic is forced to the conclu-
sion that he has reached the wrong pew.
There was nothing to criticise and every
thing to admire. Bluntly said, the Ted
E. Faust Ministries are the best that ever
came to Bristol and placed a higher
standard upon that class Of amusement.

exceedingly inclement weather the
meeting was not as largely attended
us it would have beer under more
favorable conditions DR.. George T.
Winston, president OF the A. & NJ.
College, was present, and delivered Il
most interesting address upon the
Importance of farmers organiza-
tions, and the necessity of an agri-
cultural education. Then followed
short addresses by the Rev. J. T. B.
Hoover and Mr.. w. B. Daniel, after
which the meeting adjourned without
definite action, owing to the fact
that there were not more present.

Next Week the Weldon Fair.

The Weldon Fair will be on next
week and numbers of persons will
doubtless go from this section. The
Weldon Fairs always draw good
crowds. You may not see as much
there in the way of exhibits, but
there is plenty to amuse and you al
ways meet your friends, and you are
apt to get your moneys worth-and
mOre-in one way or another when
you attend the Weldon Fair. Infor-
nation comes to us that the fair this
year promises to be tie biggest and
most successful and enjoyable in
years. Special trains will be run to

Can Supply Your Wants.

Last week we said something about
cold weather coming on and coal and
wood growing in demand, suggesting
that provision for bad weather be made
for the winter before the roads get worse,
the loads smaller and the price higher.
Mr.. j. Young, proprietor of the Uptown
Wood Yard, says while we were at it we
ought to have made the thing complete
by telling the people where to get it. He
has full stock of original growth pine
and oak, cut and uncut, ready for prompt
delivery at lowest prices. Call on him
and let him supply you with your fuel
for winter.

STOMACH TROUBLE CAUSES
HEART TROUBLE.

Heart trouble is almost always caused by
stomach trouble The stomach fails to di-
gest all the food, and the residue ferments
forming excess of gas, which distends the
walls of the stomach, causing a pressure on
the nerves and arteries that lead to the heart
This causes the heart to palptate or skip a
beat occasionally, or both. which is usually
very alarming, causing grave apprehensions.
Rydales Stomach Tablets will prevent
this trouble They digest the food and pre-
vent gas from forming in the stomach. If
there is no gas In your stomach your heart
will not trouble YOU EAGLE PHAR-
