The Mt. Seterling Laundry Co. =,
have recently installed and now
have in operation an American
Steam Collar Pressing Machine.

five times as was formerly done.

more rapidly than the old machine
it does it much better, and when a
collar has been run through this
machine it has the appearance of a
new one. Messrs Upton & Pol

Manager WiIkerSOn Acted
Wisely in CanCeling Show.

That Manager Wilkerson acted
wisely in cancelling the perform
ance of wine, Woman and Song"
is shown by the following criticism
clipped from a Winchester paper.
THE performance of Wine,
Woman and Song at the Opera
House Monday night proved to be
entirely too risaue for local
audience and at the end of the
first act nearly all the women left
the house. Only a fair-sized
audience was in attendance.
Devoid of good acting or good
singing but with plentiful supply
of doubtful jokes and quips, this
musical comedy would have been
more at home at the Buckingham
than in the local play house, where
one is liable to take his wife,
daughter or sweetheart"

successor to Bingen as the leading
