A FINE SHOW.

A very large crowd attended the
show at the w. r. Markle Floating
Theater at the landing here Wednes-
day evening. II was probably the
largest ever seen at an entertain
ment of the kind in Darlington, and
all present showed their high appre-
citation OF the performance. Mr.. Mar
kle certainly has fine show. 1t is
strictly moral and up-to-date in every
way. The musical features are ex-
cellent. while the electrical effects
are simply grand. The boat is large
and commodious, and is elegantly
fitted up.
MIR. Markle has promised to stop
here again next season. and If he
does he will certainly be greeted by
a full house. "-Clarington, O., News.

HICKMAN soTTLlNe WORKS.

Not long since. we had the pleas
ure Of going through Threlkeld's es-
tablishment-The Hickman Bottling
Works-one of the best Of its kind In
West Kentucky or Tennessee. In
fact, the facilities of this plant has
been greatly increased within the
past year, and is credit to any
town.
A new carbonnator, with a capaci-
~ of supplying three tables has re-
Gently been installed. and othernew
machinery throughout, all of which
is now driven by gas engine power.
Two years ago one man ran the Hick-
man Bottling Works; now six are en-
ployed, and are kept busy filling
their orders. This is no small item
when we consider that the plant has
a capacity OF 5000 bottles a day. Mr..
Threlkeld puts up IA different kinds
OF soft drinks-and they are as fine
as ever went into bottles. These
goods are sold at Columbus, New
Madrid, Bessie, State Line, Wood
land Mills. Cayce. Dickerson, Moss
Landing. Hickerson, Bayouville and
about 20 other points in this terri
tory.
As side line, Mr.. Threlkeld has
bottled for II. N. Cowgirl, in the past
Is days, 1900 bottles of the celebrat-
ed REQ" another Hickman produc-
tion.
The water used in the products of
the Hickman Bottling Works is sup
piled by the city's artesian WELLS
filtered, charged and bottled without
being touched or exposed to the air.
and is purity itself. Cleanliness and
sanitation are evident to an extreme
degree-a thing much lacking in
some similar establishments. A visit
to this place will not only convince
you of the truth of this statement.
but will be interesting besides. and
Mr.. Threlkeld, the popular manager.
is always ready to show visitors
through.
Hickman should be proud of her
bottling works.
