and comes so highly recommend

will add to their already bright
reputation. This company of
talented artists have been so
successful that wherever they
go they receive recommended

singing, dancing, comedies and
humorous sketches including
illustrated songs aud the finest,
largest and best of life moving
pictures. The entertainment is
clean and moral and appeals to
the intelligent and refined of

columns Of the Wetzel Republican
an item touching on the report

ever, Mr.. Dentist was very much
agrieved by the write-up and
sought opportunity to give Mr..
Editor thrashing. Meeting him
this morning he thought to carry
his idea into effect. He pounded
upon Mr.. Editor with club strik-
ing him over the head. The doc
tor had forgotten than an editors
