they never played to more ap-
preciative one.
Fausts Minstrels, though new
on paper, has within its personel
many well known minstrel stars,
who guarantee you good show
by the simple fact of their names
being OIL the program, and those
who witnessed the performance
Saturday night pronounced it the
best psinstrel that ever played in
Marshall.
There was no Who, What
When" about it, you could see who
and what they when the curtain
went up and you did not have to
sit and think when will some
thing happen to laugh at.
The songs were all good and the
solos were as sweet as ever heard
here, and the olio cannot be sup
passed anywhere. The dancing
was Of high-class order, and the
Pop Cars mouologue and the old
time banjo playing act was much
appreciated.
The Faust family in their aero
batic act is worth the price Of ad-

Mr., Spsaks's Inning
The Court House Gang Were Easy
Victims for the Genial
Deputy Clerk.

Our court house reporter brought
in an item yesterday concerning the
celebration of the 5Sth birthday Of
Deputy Clerk J. w. Speake, and
thereby hangs a tale.
The court house is infested with
a gang of practical jokers, and il
now transpires that the item, above
referred TO, originated with Chris
Madsen who is "pontifex max
imus' Of the jokers. Madsen was
trying to get even with Speake for
victimizing the gang last Saturday.
Mr.. Speake has long had his eye
on beautiful clock which he very
much desired, 50 he very quietly
let it be known that Saturday was
his birthday, and Madsen with the
rest, who are great admirers Of Mr..
Speake, proceeded TO do the hand
some thing by presenting the clock
to him. Later, the gang discovered
that it was a clever joke which had
been played upon them-that it
was not Speake's birthday at all.
Then it was that the mastery mind
Of Madsen conceived the idea Of
publishing the celebration Of
Speake's ssth birthday. He did 50
and the joke was on the latter for
the time. Madsen and Speake are
now maneuvering for positions and
no telling what their next move will
