DIXIE AUDIENCE HIGHLY
PLEASED WITH JlGCS AND.
MAGGIE MUSICAL COMEDY

Although the house was not filled
to capacity Monday night, there was
pretty coed size audience to wit
ness the hest array of musical comedy
chorus that has been here this sea-
son in the Bringing Up Father Show,
featuring a personifcation of Jiggs
and his noted wife, Maggie.
Usually there is not much of a
plot in musical comedy, but the
Monday night show developed sur
prise in this direction, and the au-
dience was able to carry the details
through with the musical numbers
interspersed.
The chorus was full-grown and a
plentiful supply of grown-up singers
and dancers, that highly pleased the
audience, even though the crowd lost
the benefit Of their fall moneys
worth in the early musical numbers
by failure to show enough applause
for encoress Paris theatre goers
should get wise to this encore de-
tail, and get more for their money
by duly applauding the merited num-
bers; the show troupe expects it. and

WATER AND LIGHT PLANT
NOW HITTING ON ALL SIX

The city water and light plant is
again hitting on all six cylinders, fol-
lowing the return Tuesday from
Memphis of Supt w j Holman with
the repaired water pump.
Monday afternoon late there was
a shut down of the lighting plant on
account of the insufficiency of the
pump to fill the big new boiler to
capacity, caused by the extra burden
on the plant by the cloudy day nee
essitating more lights in business
houses and homes The regular
pump was out of commission, and
Supt. Holman had it in Memphis for
repairs. When it was found the
emergency pump was not sufficient
to keep the boiler filed, fearing a
bursting of the boiler and crushing
of the crown sheet, the engineer
deemed it advisable to shut off the
boiler. Another pump, however,
was rigged up under the supervision
of j 7 Porter, of the ice plant, and
by eight O'Clock the situation was up
to normal and the lights turned on
again,
