the assurance that the Swain

where that the people are fond
of high class entertainment.
Swain comes this time on his an

the play-going public of Lexing-

not long ago and it took long
time for the expectant public to
rally from the disappointment
and we are prepared to state that
Mr.. Swain, too, regretted his in
ability to be with US in the year
1911. He comes now with the
full confidence Of the people that
the proprietor and the company
are fully able to make good their
claims. Remember that the
Swain Show performances begin
for the full week on Monday |
night, September %, and we are
confident that no small part Of
the big crowds that will attend
throughout the week will be
composed of the people of the
surrounding country, villages
and towns-for the fame of the
Swain Show has spread abroad |!
and keeps, on multiplying its
friends and patrons.
