, The show presented in the opera house
Monday night by the Mountain City
Minstrels for the benefit of the local
band, was a success from a financial
standpoint, S132 being the net receipts.
From any other than financial veiw-
point, however, the show was not up
to the standard, a redeeming feat
ure being the orchestra work, which,
considering the short time devoted to
practice, was excellent.
