lieved to be superior to any bill this
season at the Court Square vaudeyilie
house.
In the line of clever dog perform
ances nothing hes ever been offered
in Montgomery to excel the work OF
O. II. Roberts and Company's leaping
bulI-terriera. 1t is extremely doubt
full II the intelligence displayed BY
these dogs has been equalled by any
animal show that has visited this city.
The feature Of their performances IL
the snap and seeming willingness OF
the terriers to run through their nu-
merous roles. leaping over four and
Eve chairs at a time. two high. and
never faltering or disappointing their
owners
Wood ana Ward also set a new
standard in the field Of hoop manipul-
alton. Several new stunts In this art
were put on last night by this team.
Their browning act was greeted with
unusual applause. The bill includes
one other act, a laughable comedy
sket CHI by stein and Earle and novel
moving pictures. the show closing with
the latter.
Performances will continue the re-
mainder Of the week at the following
intervals OF time: Matinees $3.50, 1880
and $3.50: night. $500. $500 and 1000.

If the furry of 1907 awakens the people of the
South to Industrial Epoch it. too may prove an
unexpected blessing
Perhaps as never before, press and people are
alive to the up-buildng of own section by pat

To the merchant it means saving of interest on

present stock what's better double the business on
the same investment.
Then there's the consumer, if he's to be reckoned
with, and he generally is, we IL abide his verdict
Millions of people in the South are today wear
ing RED SEAL Shoes. From thousands of them we
have long service records of from six to sixteen
months actual wear.
It's easier to sell what folks call for.
