CHIP AND MARY COMING
THE HENRIETTA” OPENS
GRAND’S STOCK SEASON
“The Nancy Hanks”
at Casino All Next
Week. /
Little Chip and Mary Marble are
~ coming: to the Caetno next week. That's
enough to make any theatergoer sit up
and look Interested. Little Chip is a
ehow himself, and Mary Marble has
filled many a big house without her
partner. But the two of them—well,
that's a bill that ought to pack the Ca
sino from orchestra to the roost.
'-The Nancy Hanks'* Is the bill for
this season. If It Is half as tuneful as
"Babes In Toyland" or half as funny as
"Wonderland," It should be a winner.
And the papers seem to think “The
Nancy Hanks" Is very, very good, ac
cording to press notices.
There will be performances every
night at 8:30 o’clock, and matinees
on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday
afternoons, starting promptly at 2:30
o'clock and closing before 4 o'clock,
when the baseball enthusiasts may
cross the street to the baseball park
when the game begins.
During the action of the three scenes
In the play there will be specialties In
which Little Chip and Mary Marble
will appear. Of course Chip will go It
alone for a time, and Miss Marble will
also give an Individual specialty, but
there will be a group of musical mai
dens to aid both at other times.
It Is said by critics in Richmond.
Norfolk, Nashville. Memphis and Chat
tanooga that "The Nancy Hanks" Is
one of the most cleverly constructed
farce comedy successes of the period.
It Just fits the ability and the talents of
the players selected for the production

A GEORGIA SOLOMON.
In McIntosh county, Georgia, there
was a law suit about a cow. The cow
woe dead, but the law suit went on.
It was decided by the Justice of the
peace, appealed, remanded, decided
again and once more appealed and re
manded. This went on until the rise
came back to the 'squire for the elev
enth time.
It was a Jury -case, and when the last
trial was on, the ’squire astonished the
attorney by announcing an Indefinite
postponement, saying:
This case has exhausted the whole
jury venire of the county, and you will
have to wait until the coming genera
tion gets old enough for Jury duty."
Then the litigants compromised.—

AMERICAN HUMOR.

another. "I saw 'em working on a

Novelties Cost Mors.
There to a great difference In price
between the seeds of an unnamed va
riety of flower or vegetable and some
so-called "novelty." which grower*
hare produced from the generic plant.
Three "novelties" are produced In va
rious ways, by selection, by rroeslng
the seeds, and they are sometimes de
veloped Into distinct varieties. There
are only forty-two original, distinct
vegetable families, though 818 varieties
of vegetable seed are now sold by retail
dealers.
