phlet
In Holmes county, Miss, alone, this
year $50 dipping watts have been built
and $4,000 head of cattle dipped on an
average of every two weeks. The
county has spent about $500 and
the estimated increased valuation OF
stock is $4,000 to 100000, The show
ing made in Holmes county can be
made in other counties of the state
and many of them are fast providing
the watts for the eradication of the
cattle tick. South Mississippi is es-
sentially a cattle raising country and
the thousands of. dollars that can be
saved and made annually by ridding
the cattle of the tick, should command
immediate attention from the proper
authorities and stock raisers in every
county in this section.

AL G.. FIELDS
GREA TER MINSTRELS
Meridian Dispatch

AL G. Field and his Greater Min
strels" was the attraction yesterday
afternoon and night at the Grand
opera house.
The house was filled to its capacity
and the audience was most enthused
over the finest minstrel production
which has ever graced the stage of
the Meridian play house.
AL Field in calling his production
Greater Minstrels" does so advisedly
as it is better and greater every year,
in fact believe that Fields minstrels
are the greatest in the world and like
old wine, they improve with age.
When one witnesses one of Fields
shows, it is hard to imagine that they
can be improved on, for every detail
/ is brought out so perfectly that it
seems that the highest penical of per
fection is reached. but each succeed
ing year greets more brillance, more
dazzling in color and song, and for
the time being, the audience is car
ried into the realm of dreams, where
sentiment, and song. joy and laugh
ter reign supreme.
The opening scene is one of the
most beautiful l ever witnessed. It is
so intensely southern, so appealing
to the people of dear old Dixieland.
In the soft light sunset. with a
young crescent moon setting in the
west, the darkies are picking cotton
and singing.
An old negro many and old Uncle
Joe grace the stage to the right, and
Groom their songs as the young ne
groes pick the soft white bolls of cot
ton.
[ AL Field is a great manager, one
of the greatest there is, in the opin-
ion of every one. He is most artis-
tic in his tastes and shows his art in
his great minstrels. He has studied
ministrelsy for twenty-six years, and
I think has graduated long ago with
honors. AL is not a great actor and
he knows it, and this year only shows
himself in a short catchy dialogue
with one of the end men, just long
enough to let the people see that he
is still ION the job" and to receive
his usual hearty welcome.
With Fields minstrel this year is
the finest set of singers he has ever
had. Jack Richards, in his song
when You and I were Young Mag
: gle" was simply superb, and many
of the others were in his class when
2 it came to singing, but hardly up to
l his standard.
2 Burt Snor is one of the finest COM
: medians in the profession and made
: such an impre sion with the theatre
= going public 4 re that his appearance
next year will be eagerly looked for
5 ward to-
e Doc Quigley is the same old Doc.
Y Everybody nearly has seen him and
l. knows his ability. Just a sight of him
e would make Chinese god burst into
It mirth
S Field always gets a good house and
s always will as long as he keeps the
E. standard of perfection he has already
n achieved.
