Show a Success

1t has been some five years since
anything approaching it has been
seen in linton. We refer to the
Band Rrys' Minstrel Show which
held The boards at the opera house
Friday night of last week.
For a home.talent affair the show
was Al. Many a road show has
failed to please to the extent of this
affair pu; on by local people. The
hall was crowded to it's capacity.
All the seating room in the building
was made use IF, dozens of extra
chairs hnying been added to the reg
ulnr seating capacity.
The iitst part of the entertain
ment comprised mostly musical se-
lections and several of our Linton
citizens demonstrated for the first
time that they are there" on opera
stuff, many of them having never
been known before to soar above the
repertoire Of sucn as Hail, hail."
and I'VE won't go home until morn
ing" Interspersed with the musl-
cal numbers was little "hot stuff"
for ! cal people and several of those
who held down seats in the audience
found that they were there to fur
nIsh amusement as well as to receive
the same.
Culbertson & Martell. in some
character dialogue parts, and Vor-
lander. in characteristic songs,
made up the middle part of the pro-
gram. Vorlander made the hit of
the evening when he sang comic
song. impersonating feminine
singer.
The closing skit. a military offer
ing. proved most enjoyable. For
amateurs, the various members of
the cast succeed very we'll in doing
i a most difficult thing: the making
of fools OF themselves on the stage

Well. have been here more than
year. | like the country better
than ever. now know what the
climate Of the different seasons is,
and have found it very comfort
able. OF course, get lonely some.
times. and long very much to be
with you, anl especially with the
little granddaughter: but we can't
always have things to happen just as
we want them to happen. And !
am reconciled by the fact that I, or
any other old person. is much bet
ter off here than in colder climate.
As hope to ne able 20 do nothing
much for the few years left to me,
] feel that can do it here to better
satisfaction than could where |!
would have to remain indoors sever
al months of the year.
The weather here this winter"
has got down to the frost line
half-dozen times, at night. but the
days are from sixty to seventy de-
grees plus. For awhile after the
cooler weather came so much like
early fall up north-I often found
myself thinking, well. | must get
ready for winter Then it would
occur TO me that this is winter here
that is. it what they call
winter" here.
Mr.. and Mrs. Baker and their
daughter Margaret have been here
for some time. They take in all the
excursions and other functions, and
are enjoying themselves in every
way.
now have all my lots set out to
trees. and a lot more rose-bushcs
and other flowers set out in the
front yard. some of them being
climbing roses 70 shade the screened
/ veranda on the front and sides of
the house. | have pecan trees set
out for shade on the sidewalk in
front of the four lots.
forgot to tell you that the
Bakers have been out to my place
several times. and that Margaret
took snap shot nf her father and
mother. yours truly and colored
citizen who was working for me that
day: also, a picture of said yours
truly feeding chickens. But. as
the kodak is small, fear it won't
be a very good lacture. If it. is
good, will send one to you.
