Bearg The Kind You Have Always Bought THE BARNESVILLE NEWS-GAZETTE NOVEMBER 6, 1902 MADDUX 6c SON, Successors to Barnesville Mercantilo Cos. THE BKENNAN-SALE COMPANY. • This Superb Organization to Visit. Our City Tuesday Nov. litii. 1002. The coming of the Brennan-Sale Company is looked forward to with delight, for in this attraction we have one that has made a rep utation second to none. The Com pany has Miss Brennan, the clever little commediene who won fame with Maude Adams, and Mr. James Sale, a commedian of the first rank. The comedies to be present are bright, refined and sparkling with genuine wit, with no objectionable features that so often accompany theatrical at tractions. One of the comedies, “One Christmus Eve” is a most dainty sketch. The Baltimore Her ald has the following to say about it: “One of the most pleasing sketches presented this season. It is a decided relief to see a comedy that is well written and presented with due regard for every detail. ‘One Christmas Eve,’ by Will M. Creasy, is full of amusing situations and bright lines, and has the ad ditional merit of being produced by people who know their busi ness.” The Company will be seen here on Tuesday, Nov. 11th, 1902. Seats should be secured early as the demand will be great. - OLD FRIENDS ARE THE BEST. 1 Sometime ago I took what its known as a summer cold. I tried several rem edies, but without much relief.
