Billy Felix's Letter.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
Everything is quiet and moving
along smoothly since the smoke of
the last primary has cleared away.
Some good men have been nominated
and some good ones have been de-
nominated.
The farmers have been busy during
this fine weather gathering their cot
ton, which is off fully one-third. A
great deal of it is being marketed at
8 and 8 cents. I am inclined to think
that if the cotton was stored in the
Standard Warehouse it would bring
better prices later. There is short
crop made and the spinners must
have it.
Postofice Inspector Kingsmore was
here looking after the interest of Un-
Gle Sam recently.
The graded school at Athens will
open about the middle of October
with Prof. Sam J. Derrick as princi-
pal and Miss Catherine Kleckley as
sistant. Both are teachers of wide
experience and I predict successful
term under their skillful manage
ment. Let all the patrons cooperate
with the teachers and make this ses-
sion the best in the history of the in
stitution.
I am glad to report that Prof. J. V.
Smith is able to be up at this time.
Our merchants have put in a full
stock of new goods; cotton has been
coming in pretty brisk; business is
booming and all seem to be happy.
The health of the happy Felix fam
ily is excellent. Billy Felix.

All This Week the Brinkman Has Had

Shaw & Clyfton, the famous song
and dance artists and comedy ex-
ponents, have made hit with Be-

large crowds at the Brinkman Family

I have ever had at any performances
since I opened the theater. I GER
tainly appreciate the patronage ac-
corded to me by the people of Be-
midi"
Shaw & Clyfton are proving them
selves genuine comedians, and they
hold their audience spellbound with
admiration of their acts. Each
night the crowd never tires of their
performance, which is new and
decidedly original, with special fea-
lures every evening. They are not
lazy but are always busy on the
stage. Every minute of the time
spent in their presence is moment
of downright enjoyment and un-
equaled fun.
'Kippy, the German cartoonist, is
simply a wonder. His stunts are
above reproach, unique, unparalleled,
unmatched. Come and see him. He
is without a peer.
William Mcintyre of Crookston
has been engaged by manager Brink

all overtures and accompaniment at
