O'BRIEN'S MINTRELS, MAR. II.

Minstrelsy as conceived and
staged by Neil O'Brien and man.
aged by Oscar F. Hodge, went a
a long way the past two seasons
toward reviving an interest in
this style OF entertainment that
by some was considered on the
. wane. Mr.. O'Brien, who for
years has been a predominant
figure on the minstrel stage
branched out two years ago as
minstrel star on his own account.
and extremely. pleasant recollec-
tions still finger of the splendid
performance he and his associates
presented when here last season
and the season before. 1t was
clean, wholesome, lively, enter
tainment and gave full measure
of enjoyment to minstrel lovers
everywhere. It will therefore be
good news to theatregoers to
learn that Mr.. O'Brien who is now
on his third annual tour and will
appear at the Greenwood Thea
tire, Thursday, March 11th, with
a completely new equipment of
scenic surprises, new wardrobe,
new songs, jokes, special features
and almost an entirely new COM
pany. This follows out the an
nounced policy as promised by
Mr.. O'Brien and his manager,
Oscar F. Hodge, to present each
year an entirely new show from
first part to the final curtain. This
plan has been faithfully carried
out this season. All the elaborate
and magnificent stage settings,
comprising a complete and beau
tiful production, are fresh from
the scene frame. The artist has
been allowed unusual latitude and
has excelled with a first part" of
exquisite beauty. The color
scheme is fashioned after the
latest Futurist art craze, the scene
representing a fanciful and artis-
tic idea. There are five other full

many friends over the county to
enter the present race for sheriff,
| have reached the decision that

that office at this time.
Serving Leflore County as road
commissioner, which position car
ries considerable responsibility, l
feel that it would not be exactly
becoming to conduct the duties of
that position, which demands my
entire time and thought, and ac-

for the coveted sheriffs office.
In the event that l had decided
to enter the race this time /
would have rendered my resigna-

am at present unable to do.
Feeling that can be of consid-

commissionership, and being un-
able to bear the burden OF ex-
pense in making the race at this
time, | will not offer myself as
candidate for the sheriff's office
at the impending election in Au.

Approaching more than words
can tell the sincere solicitations
from friends all over the county,
whose assurance of support and
influence was most flattering, and
knowing that a splendid official
will serve Leflore county as sher-
iff no matter which of the present
array of aspirants are elected, l am
Respectfully,
