A. J. Powers as the solemn-visaged

the manner i'm which he cast anguish

gested latent trait of cussedness in
his composition.
Mrs. Mann and Archie Hogan as
Aunt Sue and Jimmie Brown, her
BOBBY nephew, were bowling sue
cess. Jimmie's antics in drinking
his lemonade raised the roof. About
half the crowd was actually afraid he
would choke to death and the other
half was afraid he wouldn't.

Mrs. T. w. Brown as Mrs. Moses
Brown controlled her numerous pro-
geny and regulated her husbands ex-

greatly, but brought up painful remi-
niscences in the minds of the bene-

Prof. Aygarn and Mrs. j. T. Smith
as the ''newlyweds'' rendered their
speciality with a naturalness that was
truly honeymoonish and in manner
that suggested they had both been
there before and net so very many

George Whitcomb, Earl Carlson and
Loretta Hennemann weren't so slow

practice in real life.
One of the most pleasing numbers

by Hon. Frank NJ. Eddy

That there is more undeyeloped
histrionic ability lying around loose
i'm Sank Centre than in any city of its
size i'm any part of the country was
fully demonstrated. when on Monday
and Tuesday nights Of this week the
young youngsters, the middle-aged
Youngsters and the old youngsters,
under the clever management Of Miss
b. Eleanor Mccall, of the well known
Book Entertainment Company, pre-
sented the s'Stearns County Fair" to
to delighted audience that packed
the Grand Opera House to its utmost
capacity.
The ''Stearns County Fair" is a
rolicking farce comedy of the Josiah
Whitcomb order. OF course there
was no plot to it, only suggestion,
and around this suggestion were clus-
tered sparkling specialties, tuneful
music, catchy songs and humorous
local illusions that kept the audience
on the qui yive of expectation and
the keen edge of enjoyment from the
opening to the close of the perform
ance.
The entertainment was billed to
commence at eight p. M. but as in
all amateur theatricalS. it was long
past the hour before the fun COM
menced.
Some of the actors had to rock their
grandchildren to sleep before they
came: some costumes needed finishing
touches. razors could not be found.
the burnt cork was mislaid, and the
balIy-ho man had to return home to
put the cat down cellar so it would
MT eat up the canary, but the band
played during the interim. the audi
ence was good natured and no i'm
patience was manifested at the delay.
The first number. "Bessie and Her
Little Brown Bear" was pleasantly
rendered by chorus of one hundred
tiny misses who in their white skirts
and fluffy hair ribbons looked sweet
enough to eat without trimmings.
For an encore they sang s!The Boogie
Boo The tots were we'll trained and
each Miss was a little cutter and a
trifle sweeter than any other.
Mrs. James Ingram as Mrs. Piper.
with wee Alice Fiesler as her daugh-
ter Sally made decided hit. Her
solicit rde for her lunch basket, her
worry over her lost child and the way
she laid all her troubles to "Iim" was
very natural" and true to life.
Russell Cooper took the part Of
Handy Andy very creditably and Miss
Edith Gates as his foil in the Cycling
country damsel acquitted herself like
q professional.
Henry Mann as "Boss" Jones the
manager performed his role satisfac-
tolily and if DR.. Hennemann 'sbarked"
as persuasively in front of his office
as he did for. his "Great Circus" the
people would flock inside in droves
and have all their diseased molars and
some of their sound teeth removed
without delay.
s'The ''circus" alone was worth the
price of admission. Mrs. Schleusner
as s'Mlle. Cariose" was superb. Pro-

The readers of the Banner learned
last week OF the illness of it's editor and
his operation in Shreveport on the 9Th.
We are pleased to state that since that
time none but favorable reports have
reached this Office. He has now been
clear OF fever for some days, is doing as
well as could be expected, is considered
out OF danger and is permitted to talk
and be talked to. Thursday for the first
time since the operation he was placed
IN an invalid's chair and wheeled out on
the porch. This must have been a treat.
1t is thought that he will perhaps be
able to return home before another week
passes. Mrs. Scanland is not now with
him, having again returned home yes
terday afternoon.

MIR. Castles New AutOpreSS.

Mr.. Walter Castle, of the Castle Print
ing Company of Shreveport, ever pro-
gressive, has stolen a march on his
ncighbors by ordering and installing an
autopress.
The autopress is dandy. On our
last two trips to Shreveport we called at
Mr.. Castles office to see it run and it is
ay far the fastest printing machine We
have yet seen in motion, and we have
looked upon many of them. It's best
speed is 5000 seperate sheets per hour,
which it prints automatically. And it
prints them little too fast for any one
not familiar with the machine to see how
it is done. 1t is beyond doubt one OF
the wonders of this inventive age.
This press is the only one of its kind
in the State outside of New Orleans and
it puts the Castle Printing Company in
a class by itself. Others can print, but
their machines are slow when lined up
by the side of the autopress.
Mr.. Castle is young man, full OF
energy, ard deserving of success, so faI
as we know, and we have known him a
long time. With both the autopress
and linotype, and many other labor
saving machines and devices at command
his business cannot help but grow and
flourish as long as the country prospers.
and we are pleased indeed to note it.

almost one-quarter already.
