GIVEN BIG RECEPTION
TENTED AMUSEMENT ENTER
PRISE PLAYED TO AN OVER
FLOW AUDIENCE.

The w /. Swain Show Company,
which is opening its twenty-second
annual season, spread its big tent on
Hardy street yesterday and opened
last night to capacity audience. MFR.
Swain advertises that his tent has
seats enough for a whole town. This
being the case, nearly all of Hatties-
burg must have been there, as the
tent was packed, and several turned
away on account of not being able to
get desirable seats. Mr.. Swain said
today that it was the biggest audience
he ever has had since he has been
coming to Hattiesburg, which has been
eight years.
The melodramatic comedy, Belle of
the Mountain Trail" was the bill. and
it is an excellent drama, well played
by the Swain artists. 1t is a play with
a romantic story and sensational sit
uations and incidents.
Mr.. Swain has retained some of the
old fayorites from last season, and
several new ones have been added to
tn ecast. Every set Of scenery used
for the bill was brand new, and Incl
dental to the play.
The after concert was excellent, and
as MIR. Swain announced, it is place
care never visits. The "Oh, Ny Col
"" black-face comedian who is such
a favorite here, seemed to be at his
best last night.
Diavolo, the Air Rider, performed
one of his hair-raising, knee-weaken-
ing acts by deliberately falling, jump
ing. flying, riding, from a lofty pin
nacle-appearing perch, suspended
some hundred feet high to small net
receptacle contriyance below, appar-
emily unhurt or uniniured. This act
is to be repeated Wednesday and Fri
day nights.
The tramp comedy, Jolly American
Tramp" Is the bill for tonight. Tues
day is comedy night with the Swain
Company.

to the selections. While THIS was Ia

various captains and lieutenants who
had been assigned to cover the city
and report what places needed assist

was awaiting wagons, was left by the
captains, and wagons were sent at once
to load the trash.
Mr.. Swain volunteered the use of
dozen or more of his tent and canvas
men. These he clothed in new white
uniforms of the street cleaning variety,
and the white wings" were loaded
into one of the big Swain wagons and
turned over to the committee.
The men took much delight in their
work, and were able to cover a lot of
territory during the afternoon.
The City Commissioners placed
their convicts, as we'll as their wagons
and horses, at the disposal of the cam

great assistance.
Reports upon the work the various
committees have accomplished during
