THE BLACK CROOK"

The offering at Polls on Tuesday, November 10, will be "The BlacG Crook" one of the most spectacular productions that has ever been pre- sented in this city. It Is by no means new attraction, having been given it's premier in New York city during the year 1866, forty-two years ago It has enjoyed universal success. The piece differs greatly from the usual spectacular inasmuch as the pro- verbal pallets are replaced by mora up to date musical numbers, embrac- ing a large chorus. In fact The Black Crook" management has en- deavored to rejuvenate the produc- tion and surround it with a musical comedy atmosphere rather than tire some pantomime. Popular prices.

IN LEAGUE
Business Men VIII Be Represented al
the Hot Springs Netting.

The business men OF Argenta and
the lovers Of sport there are alive to
the opportunity given them to enter
the State baseball league, and that tee
desires Of the city may be properly
looked after, Henry Miller, accom-
panied by other Argenta citizens, will
go with the baseball magnates to Hot
Springs today. AT Hot Springs the
State league will be organized. While
six teams have been figured upon as a
full quota for the league, there is 4
possibility that one or more of them
may fail to come in, thus giving Ar
genta chance, and in the event all do
come in, there is a possibility Of the
quota being raised to eight, thus max
ing room for Argenta. If Argenta Is
admitted, stock company will be
formed at once for the Argenta team,
and a ball park will be constructed.
Already the interested ones have their
eye on a suitable field near the Iron
Mountain shops.-Nttle Rock Gazette.
