local firms. In addition to the main
hoor there Is a balcony or family

ing capacity of the house being about
14OO. The accommodations and equip
ment are first-class in every way, and
the coloring of the decorations and
draperies has been subject of much
fiattering comment by everyone. In
the matter of a vaudeville theatre
Wilmington is longway in advance
or any city of its size in America.
The new Garrick is as pretty and cozy
and comfortable inside as money and
good taste can make. The house
plays high-class vaudeville, Offering
performances every afternoon and
evening. An orchestra of five pieces
furnishes music. Every attache of
the theatre wears livery of maroon
and gold. The new GarrIck has met
with hearty reception from the peo-

Congratulations.

Mr.. John H. Cullom, Editor of the
Garland, Texas, News, has written a
letter of congratulation to the manu-
facturers of Chamberlain Cough
Remedy as follows: Sixteen wears
ago when our first child was a baby he
was subject to croupy spells and we
would be very uneasy about him. We
began using Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy in 1887, and finding it such a
reliable remedy for colds and croups.
we have never been without it in the
house since that time. We have Eve
children and have given it to all of
them with good results. One good
feature of this remedy is that it is not
dlsagreeable to take and our babies
really like it. Another is that it is NOT
dangerous, and there is no risk from
giving an overdose. congratulate
you upon the success of your remedy y
