! We are soon to have q visit
from that clever old farmer,
Uncle Josh Spruceby" and of
course there is an enjoyable time
IN store for all. This season the
big show comes to us better than
ever, and Notwithstanding this
fact the prices have been lowered,
popular prices will prevail and
surely there is no one who has
ever heard of the great comedy,
that will fail to be in line when
the time comes for the opening of
the sale of seats. There has been
no cheapening of the attraction,
it is i'll the prices only. The
managers of this popular show
recognizes the fact that there has
been reduction in prices in
nearly every branch of business
and they have conclude TO drop in
line and give their customers the
same grade of goods at reduced
rates. This is II frst-class com
panv of twenty thoroughly
capable actors. The scenery is
all new aud the work of the best
scenic artists in the country.
We do not make Il practice of
making very enthusiastic advance
notices of coming attractions,
but we have seen the play of
"Uncle Josh spruceby" and we
can say, patronize this entertain
ment and you will not regret it.
