Pythian carnival, it will be hum
mer. The present plans are for the
uniform rank of the Knights Pythias
lodge and the members of the fire

in the carnival.
Robin Hood" was witnessed by |
fairly good sized audience at the
opera house Tuesday night and was
one of the best attractions of the
season. There have heen a number
of good shows at the opera house
this season, but as a whole they have
been poorly patronized, and Manager
Ennis is inclined to feel somewhat
discouraged, but he can have the
satisfaction OF knowing that it is not !
his fault, for he has done everything
in his power to bring to Hopkinsville |
attractions worthy of patronage. 1t
is believed by many that one reason
the better attractions have not re-
ceived the patronage they deserved, !
was because there has been so many
shows here this season, many of them
no good, and not worthy of patron
age, thus disappointing the public.
The present season is about at close
and 1t is not known yet whether Mr.. !
Ennis will continue as manager of
the opera house next season or not.
