The employees of the Verona Mining
90. will be given the Opportunity OF
securing their seats first. Should there
be any room left the general public
will then be admitted. The tickets
for the entire course of FIVE numbers
have been placed at dollar and a
half. Single tickets TO those not OF
the Verona employ fifty cents. IL is
expected that the receipts from the
sale OF tickets will pay about half OF
the expense of the course. The com

the balance. Under ordinary circum-

secured tor this part of the country on

action on the part Of the company has
made IT possible and IL should be fully
appreciated by the people Of Palatka.
