"HIcK'RY FARM
Last Night Again Witnesses Packed
House in Hear Famous Play.

The crowded house that had the priv
elege of seeing the presentation last
night of the famous down east play oil
@Hick'ry Farm" by the Lee Willard
Company, will not soon forget the in.
imitable presentation of the respective
parts by the different actors. This
comedy drama is one that appeals to
everyone, and is the best production Of
the many good ones, that the Willard
Company has yet put on the boards
here. Astirians as lovers of art, in its
true sense, cannot afford to miss seeing
Mr.. Willard in his role.
Last night the play passed of to the
complete satisfaction of every person
present. Mr.. Willard, as Ezkiel Fortune.
the honest, and upright farmer, showed
his wonderful talents, and 1t is not too
much to say that this city has never
witnessed the equal of Lee Willard in
dramatic work.
The other parts carried by the mem.
bers of the company, were all ably in
terpreted, and helped to make the pres.
entation of "ITick'ry Farm something
which those who saw it, will not soon
forget.

1t is now claimed that many railway
postal clerks are throwing up their jobs
to 60 into other business as they think
they can make more than 500 to sl25
month. Maybe they can, but those
who haven't postal runs are mighty
willing to take them. The clerks have
formed a union and want eight hour
runs. The mail business is hard job,
there is no mostake about that, as the
agent Is on his feet during the entire
run and handles hundreds of heavy mail
sacks on every run.

A lady who understands advertising
says: mo lady wishes to be looked up
on as a shopping fiend, she does not care
to 90 into the store and have merchant
show all his stock in order to find out
whether he keeps what she wishes to
purchase and whether the article is sold
at a price she can afford. 1t is much cas-
ier and pleasanter to look through the
Advertisements in a paper than it is tO
bore the clerks and waste her own time.
Next to the local news items, the adver-
tisements in paper stating articles for
sale with prices, will keep much of the
money that goes to the large cities at
