The Brown & POmmier Show

Brown and Pommier gave their
show in this city Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday nights of last
week and they were greeted with
good attendance for each perform
ance. They made good every claim
and gave universal satisfaction.
They have clean show free from
all fakirs and have no sensational
statements sent out in advance
with which to fool the people.
Their different performers are
specialists and have had the exper-
fence necessary to this work and
have given universal satisfaction
each season.
Messrs. Brown and Pommier
have started out well and their
friends and acquaintances here
trust they will have a successful
season, as they are giving just
what they represent and that is a
clean and wholesome show, worth
the money. Richmond Conserve

We have heard of a good many

kinds this spring, but John Maple
Of route one reports one that is
rather out of the usual. His daugh-
ter, Miss Milburne, settwenty-nins
duck eggs recently, from which
thirty healthy and vigorous duck
lings were hatched. The difference
is accounted for by the fact that
one Of the eggs was double-yOlked,
and twin ducklings were hatched
from it, both of which are normal
and cannot be distinguished from
the others.
There was a large crowd out
Wednesday night to hear the open
ing concert given in the park by
the Laclede Concert Band. The
program announced last week was
excellently rendered. and delighted

have a concert in the park every
Wednesday night through the sum-
mer, and a number of the business
men are cooperating with the boys
to make it possible. The band
stand was wired Wednesday and
eight electric lights afford plenty of
light. The ladies Of the Christian
