PRINCE OF TONIGHT
COMING ON FEB. IS

The Sheboygan Daily Journal has
the following to say in regard to the
Prince of Tonight" which will be
seen at the New Grand on Feb. IS:
If the Prince of Tonight" compa.
ny, which began its season last night
at the opera house, makes as great
progress in the next week as was in
dicated here last night, it ought to be
the hit of the season. Last nights
first performance, following weeks OF
drilling and rehearsal here, was prac'
tically fawless.
A big audience witnessed the pro
duction, as it deserved. The compa
ny responded to encore after encore
and 1t was nearly 1880 when the a
nal curtain dropped.
The company is well prepared fol
a successful tour. The settings are
artistic and pretty and with an unus
ually pretty chorus and company
wonderfully capable, the piece ough
to be great 60.

NEW YORK STORE NJ %a fSg g4Rnrr

He can't bear to see that $1,000,
which the negro proposes to hand to
him on a silver platter, go begging
for the lack Of some one to go to
New Orleans to get 1t.
Mr.. Tomlinson and the other pro-
moters, chief Of whom are Jonas
Thomas and Leonard Redding, refuse
to be worked again, and are satisfied
with the few hundreds that they have
already wasted on him to make any
further experiments with him. They
are satisfied to put the willy negro in
the class organized by a certain gen.
tleman of Biblical fame, to whose
ranks several notables have been add
ed Of late. They prefer to save the
dough for some other fakir who may
come along later and want it. They
are quite willing for Mr.. Hickman to
have all the honor, glory and mazuma
that may accrue to him from the sec
ond setto with the black.

EGGS EXPECTED TO
TAKE TUMBLE
ONE COUNTRY CONCERN PUR-
CHASED OVER 1000 DOZEN
ON WEDNESDAY,.

Eggs have tumbled four cents a
dozen during the week, but they are
due another tumble, according to E.
J. Park, of the Culleoka Produce Com
pany, one of the biggest buyers in the
county. Mr.. Parks attributes the de-
cline in eggs to the tremendous in.
crease in receipts during. the past
week or ten days. His firm on We'd
nesday purchased over 1000 dozen or
"a 900 eggs. The company paid out
about $500 in one day for this side
line product of the farmers. This is
simply one section Of the county.
Probably the county as a whole on
wednesday marketed not less than
50, 900 of $4,000 worth of eggs. It is
expected by dealers that eggs will
continue to decline and twenty cents
by the end of the week would not be
surprising.

The Amalgamated Association OF
Panama Fortune Hunters, with head
offices at CulleoKa and the tail some

Panama, has revived, and the stock
has again been placed on the mar
kets. 1t is quoted at rather bullish
prices in view of the recent dispatch
es that have arrived from that Sec
ton Of the globe.
All the furry and hot haste to grab
few shares of this exceedingly re-
munerative proposition is due to the
receipt of letter by John Hickman,
of Culleoka, from the mulatto gentle
man who is the active agent of the
association in Panama. He writes
that he has at last discovered the
pot that he buried several years ago,
and that with the $4,000 he is en-
route to New Orleans, where he wants
Mr. Hickman to meet him and get
him through the custom house. He Is
afraid that Uncle Sans officials will
search him and take the money from
him on the ground that it Is stolen
property. He wants Mr.. Hickman tc
come down and meet him outside the
harbor with an officer who will ar
rest him and take the money In
charge until after he is safely through
the custom house. He then proposes
to divide the swag half and half

for the examination Of candidates for
the postofices at Culleoka, Ashwood,
Carters Creek, Glendale, Hampshire
Match, Primm's, Santa Fe and VIII
Transport All the candidates will be-
required to come to Columbia to take
the examination here.
There are quite number of the
prominent citizens in each Of these
communities who aspire to serve I'M
Gle Sam in the distribution Of hiD
mail, and who would be glad to get
a hand just for once in the pie that
he dispenses. It has. been over eigh-
teen years since any democrat has
had any share in. it, and few there be
who do not look with longing eyes az.
the melons that are to be cut at this
time. They have long bridled their
ambitions and reserved their patriot
ism for a more. suspicious occasion,
but now that the appointed time has
come for some Of the democratic
faith to GUST their republican breth-
rem, they are waiting almost with
bated breath to get their fingers in
that delicious fruit on which the lat
ter have gotten fat. These have been
lean years for the democrats, and It
will be- with a great deal Of glee that
they will take the places of those o.
the opposite political faith.
There will be several applicants for
these jobs at each place. At one
place nearly half dozen are imbued
with patriotic desire to serve their
country. However, stiff examina-
stands between all of them and the
coveted jobs. Even after they have
passed it they must secure the en-
dorsement of Congressman Padgett
to get the place. Some of the present
postmasters will stand the test, and
will try to get the appointment.
