Wednesday afternoon breathed his last.

is survived by his wife and four chil

"Mrs. Briggs of the Poultry Farm"
at the Auditorium Next Friday
Night.
The Daughters of the Confederacy
will give an entertainment at the audi
torium next Friday night. “ Mrs. Briggs,
of the Poultry Farm,” is similar to
“Mrs. Wiggs, of the Cabbage Patch.”
It is full of humor, pathos and cheer
fulness. Mrs. Briggs’ unfailing faith
in human goodness, resignation to trou
ble and adversity, teaches its own les
son. Her proposal to Silas to buy an
“incubus,” which he mistakes for a
matrimonial alliance, is quite ludicrous,
and causes much merriment. With
capable, actors and a good directress,
we feel assured that all who attend this
entertainment will be amply repaid.

’fairest daughters will open the even
ing's entertainment. The cast of char
acters will be as follows:
“Mrs. Briggs”—Mrs. O. D. Gorman.
