has been entertaining some of the liter
airy included of Milton at School Hall
I The performances of this association are
said to be very good, and the association
/ is always on the safe said. They de
mand and are paid s275 90 for this course
of entertainments, and paid in advance.
A number of persons. as guarangors, ad-
vance the money aud what they lack in
the sale of tickets in making good, these
guarantors lose. This company, or a
similar one, has been coming to Milton
under similar conditions for three years,
and the guarantors have lost money
every time. Thus it will be seen that
the people of MiltOu-some of them =
have money to give away. But we don t
see a financier, and a man who knows
what money is doing this business. 1t
is not speaking much for the merit, or
talent either, for that matter of this
company to see it decline to stand on its
merits instead of having any deficient
made up to it, AS usual the guarantors
are out agaiu this time, and they are so
heartily ashamed of themselves that they
will not tell how much they are out.
We suppose they will take a similar
course another year; yet few have re-
unless they-the guarautors-receive the
gate money" which they have not been
doing heretofore. We believe in charity,
and if our philanthropic inclined have
money to give away we have plenty of
worthy people in our midst who would
thankfully receive it, and to whom it
would be a blessing and relieve them
from difficulties and actual want.
