 (From the Premiscot Argus, Charlottesville, Mo-, Oct. 21, 1909.)
 The Daughters of the Con- federacy will hold a Gala and Jubilee week her, commencing Monday, Oct 18th, and have made final arrangements with the Coffree Amusement Con- pany to furnish the attractions.
 This famous company neees no 1 introduction. They carry the best shows on the road. They have exhibited in nearly every town and city in Missouri and have gained for themselves a reputation of which to be proud. The shows this company carry are all guaranteed attractions, and are the best that money and frst-class performers can pro duce, no expense having been spared for their production.
 In presenting this company to you for your patronage, one thing should not be overlooked, that they show here under the aus pices of the Daughters of the .Confederacy, which should, in itself, be a sufficient guarantee of the merits of this company. Among the numerous attract ions that they carry, can be found Amaza, the girl from Madras, who showed to over four ] million people at the St. Louis Exposition and who is featured at all the leading expositions. We do not consider 1t neces- sary to go into details and de- scribe each and every individual show that they carry. Suffice to say, that they are all guaranteed attractions and deserve your liberal patronage.
 1 This company will exhibit at Brinkley ball park Tuesday Nov. 9th to 18th.
