When Chas. Riggs and son arranged
for the production of the College Boy
they evidently had in mind form of
entertainment that would appeal to all
classes. That their original ideas and
subsequent formation of them were bas-
ed upon keen observation is known by
the remarkable favor with which the Of
fering has been received for three con-
cescutive seasons. The song and come
dy features embrase novelties that ap-
peal to every one, from the gallery to the
parquet. There is not dull moment
in the whole performance, it gives the
comedian Bernard Riggs and support
ing casts a complete opportunity to dis
play their talents. The College Boys
come to the city hall, Pembina, Wednes-
day evening, Sept. 18th.
Any live stock of any kind found run
ming at large in the streets of the city of
Pembina, not in charge Of the herder,
will be taken up and put in the pound
