young artist, May Stewart, and her
excellent company at the opera house
Wednesday night, October 20, in a
very elaborate production of the most
amusing of all comedies. "The
Honeymoon" has aroused pleasurable
anticipations among all social and dra-
matte circles Of Dickinson and neigh
boring towns and communities who
realize they have an opportunity to
see Americas foremost legitimate
actress of the younger class and also,
n of the famous comedies that has
never been produced outside of the
cities, in the west.

portunity for more brilliant costuming
or spectacular effects than "The
Honeymoon" and Miss Stewards
wardrobe alone is said to excel in
value many entire musical comedy
productions, as she will wear one or
two gowns valued at more than a
thousand dollars each. Already many
inquiries are being received by the
management for tickets for this at
traction and many of the society
people of the. neighboring towns have
made their reservation.

STARK COUNTY APPLES

Did you know that apples were
grown here and sold on the Taylor
market? Fred Pound brought some
to town this week which were grown
on his valuable farm southwest of
town. While not sc very large, they
were good sound apples and were of
excellent flavor. Mr.. Pound has
nearly 80 bushels Of these apples put
away in the cellar for winter, and
this was a poor year for fruit at
that. People are beginning to real
ize mor and more every year that
fruit of a hundred different kinds will
thrive in the rich soil of North Da-
kota, and that the seasons are getting
longer with every planting. If fruit
can be raised here in North Dakota
and it can, it will save thousands of
dollars to the state in bringing the
product down within the reach of
everyone.-Taylor Reporter.
