STAR COLORED
SUPPLEMENT

With Saturdays Star the second
number of the colored comic supple
ment will be issued. This innovation
in local journalism has proved very
popular, and the Star has received COM
pliments on all hands for it's enterprise
and for the excellent quality or the
matter presented in the colored supple
ment.
The first issue last Saturday was
very enthusiastically received; was
much admired and has added the
younger element in every household to
the constituency of The Star.
The second issue illustrates further
doings of most of the characters
which made the first one so popular,
and presents one or two new ones. Will

to deserve it. Hi and 81 play just as
