AMERICUS MINSTRELS.
The Stars of The City Cast Their Bril
liant (?) Raya over This Rural Region.
The well advertised show made up
the‘'best talent of Americas'’ according
to the local papers of that city, gave a
performance at the hull Friday evening
to an audience of perhaps seventy-five
people 1 A great many others would
have been present but for the fact that
they discoveied in time that EUaville
fi H d been imposed upon und remained
m home. Shortly after the curtain went
up it was very evident to the audience
that the performance was arranged for
neither ladies or gentlemen, but unfor
tunately a number of the best
had been deceived into buying tickets.
Our people have always entertained a
ve ,.y high opinion of /Vmerieus and have
p| eilse) j fp t | that we were in
close touch with her people. We
have felt that much was to be gained
from associating with those who natur
ally enjoy superior advantages to ours,
ami when it was understood that we
were to be favored with an entertain
ment by the "best talent of the town’
every one prepared to give the visitors a
cordial reception. No one thought it
necessary to question the character
the show that came in the name of
suen a reputable body as the A L I was
supposed to be. but in future it will be
deemed very important to make an
investigation before opening our hall,
which has been dedicated to that only,
which is elevating and ennobling.
It may bo that being remote as we are
from the high civilization of the city,
<>ur people have not been educated (?)
up to an appreciation of this show
gotten up by the "best talent of Ameri
cus,” but we congratulate our people on
possessing enough purity of thought to
scorn that which is coarse and vulgar.
The indignation expressed bv those who
present with their and .
were wives
daughters indicates a healthy sentiment
in our town.
We undeistand that there is much
complaint from the performers, of the
heavy expense incurred and from the
number of bottles left behind we do not
doubt that some of the bills were very
heavy, but Eliavibe is in no way re
sponsible for this condition of affairs.
It is charitable to say that some of the
young men were hardly responsible for
their conduct on the stage. Iiad they
paid less attention to popping the corks
behind the scenes we are quite sure they
would have been more considerate of
the Judies and gemltmen present.
Our people can appreciate wit and
humor, but be it said to the credit of an
EUaville audience the coarse jokes and
vulgar allusions gotten off fell fiat. But
for t tie storming of those brought along
for the purpose, a painful silence would
have reigned over the hull.

The bicycle track has been extended and
now encireles almost the entire go ovc, making
a road that is alt that, could be desired bv the
most enthusiast ic wheelmen. A little work in
the way of cleaning up the grove would give
us one of the prettiest parks in the state, and
it would require no outlay of money, only a
little time. If Capt Burton will give the town
permission to make this improvement, we
doubt not that our citizens will enter heartily
into the work.

Many cases of la grippe have lately

A man who seems to be a football on
the field of bad luck is nine times out
of ten a great deal better than those who
are kicking him around, and the follow
ing good advice from the Monroe Adver
tiser should make us more considerate
of this unfortunate class.
"Don't kick a man be cause he is
down. Many a good man has been
downed nv adverse circumstances arid
driven to dispair because everybody
seemed anxious to kick him while he
was down, when a little encouragement
and a iittie help would have mane a
better man of him than he over was
before.”
