TO
GIVE EXTRA
ATTRACTION
OPERA STARS To APPEAR
In Appropriate Selections
Here

1t was announced yesterday by Mr..
c. c. Youmans, who has charge of the
Lyceum course here, that he would
have early in January an extra attrac-
ton on the Lyceum course. This will
be the International operate Com
pany.
This attraction is not on the regu-
lar program, consequently the season
tickets will not hold good at the per-
Torrance. But a concession will be
made to the holders of season tickets,
who will be given their tickets to this
extra attraction at reduced price.
The International operate Company
is composed of operate stars, each OF
whom has seen active service in grand
opera and light operate work. There
are five members in the company,
which will appear in Americus the
second week in January, probably.
The list of selections given by the
performers will consist of arias from
the best of the modern popular operas.
Selections will also be given from
grand opera, making the program an
unusually attractive one. The pro-
ceeds of the performance will go to-
wards aiding in equipping the High
School stage, and it is hoped that
very large attendance will be present.

SHOPPERS THANKFUL
FOR CLEAN CROSSINGS
Bad Weather Made Them
Necessary

Shoppers coming to town over the
streets of the city yesterday were
thankful for the cleaning of the cross
ings on Lee and other streets by the
city forces. After the rains of the
morning the automobiles carried a
great deal of mud to the crossings,
which made them things of dread to
feminine shoppers until the cleaners
came along.
The cleaning of the crossings as
accomplished yesterday, however, will
not last very long. The cars soon
muddy the crossings again unless the
city continues to clean them. Earlier
in the season coal cinders were placed
at the crossings with excellent effect.
Could not the city again aid the shop
pers of the city by using cinders at
the approaches to the crossings in
order to avoid this trouble. This
would be greatly appreciated and
would help at the busiest season of
the year when it will be most appre
ciated.
