For the pur? pose of letting the public know just who he is, Atkinson's Comedy Company has been organised to present the comedy in its most attractive features, it is certainly the most laughable play ever put on the stage. It is presented by a company of comedians who are almost unequaled. The ((Bad Boy" is a whole character io himself. It is so natural and so full of merriment that the company and the play have met with an preceden ted success. At almost^very performance people have been turned away* The Atkinson com? pany will be at Rand's Opera Honse Thurs? day, Friday and Saturday evenings, and will give a family matinee Saturday afternoon. The play is a dramatisation of the fa moos "Bad Boy" sketches of Geo. W. Peck, editor of the Milwaukee Sun, and bas been entirely re-written for this season, and is now one of the most comical and entertaining plays on the stage. Nothing but pure innocent fun pervades the piece from beginning to end there is an entire absence of any of the coarse broad jokes or so-called slang of the day. The "Bad Boy," although called bad, shows be is only a little mischievous and fall of fun, bot hse a good heart, and is Teally one of the best boys in Milwaukee.- Troy Observer. This company will appear in Music Hall December 10th. Conference Appointments. The Annual Conference of the M. E. Church, South, which met at Winnsbors last week, adjourned on Monday afternoon.
