BUSTER BROWN AND

Blister Brown and Tige’s Big Show was to be at Robert
son’s Theatre Monday night, April 20th, fropi 7:30 to 8:30.
An hour before the show was to begin the rpom was filled,
the aisle was literally choked, no standing room, and the
crowd, surged more trying to get in. Notjbeing room for
only about one-fourth the crowd, it was announced to go
up stairs and about fifteen hundred people went up in the
, court room, the crowd hollowing for Buster and Tige to
begin, but on account of the delicate way the automatic
piano was built it could not be carried up stairs. So the
. crowd had to be dismissed, announcing that two perform
ances would be given Tuesday, one in the afternoon from
4 to 5 o’clock for the children, and one at night from 7:30
to 8:30 for the grown people. The room was filled with
children in.the afternoon and nearly full at night. It is
estimated tftat the crowd couldn't have gotten in the court
room for thenight performance, if there nad not been afree
. electric show and tne tent meeting the same night. It cost
us $100.00 to put on a Buster Brown and Tige’s show, but
everybody enjoyed it. Buster Brown and Tige’s perform
ances are known the world over. Buster ana Tige travel
- for the Brown Shoe Co., St. Louis, and tells the people
. among his many performaces about Buster Brown Blue
Ribbon Shoes for boys and girls. White House, Ideal,
Usona, Blue Ribbon, Memory Shoes for Ladies and
• White House Shoes for Men. These are perhaps the best
t known, the most stylish, the most comfortable and the
most outlasting shoes of the day.

At Alapaha Wednesday night of

by burglars, the thieves getting pro

Pait and Creech, simply unbolting
the door to enter the houses.
At F. 0. Baker’s they entered
through the window and left.him
minus a hat and rifled his pockets of
$6 in cash.
Saturday night the depot was en
tered from tne rear door and the-
express office was looted, of three
packages of clothing, and one box
of oranges, which they opened -in
the office and ate about fifty, throw
ing the peelings on the floor.
Five' suspects, negro vagrants,
have been arrested and lodged in
jail. Against two of them there is
said to be strong evidence.
Eight quarts of whiskey were also
taken from the express office, that
gave a clue to the arrested suspects.

the best school in Tift county and
with a continuation of the determin

people of that section entertained
the visitors royally.
The reporter from the Gazette
office in the afternoon was busy
looking after-his local business and,
as reported to him by Prof. Wig
gins, could not be found to be pre
sented with a beautiful boquet of
flowers by the little girls of the
school, but the reporter presumes
the honor falls on the Gazette office.
He desires, however, to thank these
sweet girls for their kind remem-

Only afew months ago, he stopped

You hear people discussing the qualities of
the different piafces °f shoes. Our best line is
the Stacy Adams. They are especially well-
known in these parts and the reputation is en •
viable. There may be shoes as good as a Stacy
Adams, at a greater price, but surely none as
good with price the same.
Our Dress Goods department Is replete with
the newest things for women. There is noth
ing in the line which is in vogue that we are
pot showing. In addition we are constantly
receiving new belts, new collars, new ties and
furnishings generally, including ready-to-wear
underwear—the kind which is properly made
and fits perfectly.

Reeds are far ahead of anything we have previ
