Tho end men, Larry Mann, Paul McDonald and Jerry Jerome and Vernon Vawier had tho audlenco convulsed with lauehtor with their RnKS, stunts, quips, sonKH and various antics. AmonR the blir hits of the show J was the monologue In hayseed cos tume and hayseed dialect by timudgc- I'ot Perry, whose short act aroused loud merriment. Our steamed con tempt. If such a thing were possible would probably be more enjoyed if he had been garbed in greasy auto mechanic costume, a bunch of car rots in one hand, and an Knglish sparrow in the other, and a picture of Senator Penrose at hia feet. Other big hits were the dancing of a little three-year-old fairy girl, ac companying Herb Alford's vocal solo, tho very clever sleight of hand act of Jay Gore, the ballads by William Vawter and Fletcher Fish. and. but this is totally unfair. Next thing we will tie describing tho entire show, and killing the keen edge of anticipation and surprise of another capacity nu dience, which will witness it tonight Suffice it to say that the above briefly describes tho Klks' minstrels, and that this noon there were only less than a hundred tickets left unsold for to night's performance.

The use of harsh cathartics aggravates the trouble and makes the constipation worse. Chamberlain's Tablets are a favorite with people of middle age and older on account of their gentle action.

Notice to Orchardist-s: At a recent meeting of fruit grow ers, the sentiment for supreme ef forts to make a good orchard clean up was unanimously endorsed. The undersigned was petitioned to use every effort to get all fruit erowers bUBy Just as soon as possible and a resolution was passed, requesting a notice to be printed in the paper. In pursuance of tills, we wish to call tho growers' attention to ihe fact that the blossoming period in our orchards will be here in abo.it month or six weekc. It behooves every ono to put in every possible mo ment cutting blight In order to pre- ent a serious recurrence this spring. It seems needless for us to call your attention to the vital necessity of im mediate and determined attention to this, so the Inspection force expects your hearty co-operation. At present. Mr. Elmer Oatman and Mr. H. T. Pankey aro the Inspectors and with your aid there is no reason to anticipate any trouble in having these two inspectors handle the nltu ation. However, If the erowers them selves do not do their part, the in spection force, no matter how large or efficient it is, will be unable to handle it. Tho county court is giving their best co-operation, the Inspectors are now busy, and the county agent and the commissioner will do all in their power to aid you. It is now up to you let's get busy.
