the advance Of Gen. u. S. Grant
in command of the forces of the
North. Officers from both ar
mes Will appear on the stage IN
full uniform of the time, while
the ladies will appear dressed in
the style of the period of the

shown by the southern slaves for
their former masters at the dawn
Of freedom. The play is educa-
tional as we'll as entertaining.
Don't miss it.
