j. c. RockweII's Sunny South
Company.

Those of our citizens who patronize
the theatre and others who, want to see
a good colored show, will be glad to
hear that the j. C. Rockwell Sunny
South Company, the colored show that
made such hit on its last appearance
here two seasons ago, will be the attrac-
ton at the Opera House, Island Pond,
Wednesday evening, October 4th.
There isn't much to say about this
company, save that it is good strong
one, composed of twenty-five colored
people, each and everyone an expert In
speciality work, who do everything
funny that darkies can do so we'll and
keep the audience in a constant state of
laughter and excitement from start to
finish. On their former appearance our
citizens liked it the best and patronlzed
it the largest of any for several years.
They say it is even better now, every
feature is new, modern, refined and up
to-the minute. 1t is absolutely clean
and during the entire performance there
will be nothing said nor done that will
bring blush to the face of the most
fastidious lady in the land. There is
plenty of fun in the performance, in
fact it is generally conceded to be one
of the funniest shows since time began.
1t is a musical performance, full OF
ginger and life, with not dull moment
from start to finish.
The organization is accompanied by
high-grade solo concert band and d
superb orchestra The band will head
the Koontown parade, which will take
place at P. M. "
The prices of admission have beer
placed at %, 50 and SOC, which, consid
ering the large company, are more thar
reasonable.
Reserved seats can now be secured
at Thurston's pharmacy.
