There have been no more union de pot proceedings lately. And there is io union depot vet, either. The farmers are getting busy now, and when the farmers get busy they are the busiest people in the world. The h.-se wagon is out of business awaiting repairs on a wheel.

AT THE OPERA HOUSE. The Ferguson 'Stock Company to Hold the Boards Each Night Next Week. ' The Ferguson Stock company will open a week's engagement at the opera house on Monday night. pre senting for the first time at popular prices the comedy drama, "Down on the Farm." This is said to be one of the best popular priced attractions on the road and everywhere theyhave played recently they have received ex cellent press notices. The Greenville Daily Herald says of a recent periormance of the com pany in Greenville: "That the Ferguson Stock company is the strongest popular priced attrac tion ever seen in Greenville was proven beyond all doubt last night by the masterly manner in which they presented the four act comedy drama 'Down on the Farm.' And that the theatre going public appreciates this fact. is evident from the large au dience they have had at each perform ance. "The company opened for a nine nights' engagement, and the size of the audience has increased at every performance. aad yesterday after noon every seat in the orchestra was sold by five o'clock. "Mr. Ferguson could have used as a name 'The All Star Company' with impunity. for really it would be hard to say just what player in the cast is the star. for they are all excellent. "Between each act there are special ties by the different members of the company. not the kind which make you yawn. and move about uncom fortably in y'our seat. but' the kind you look forward to and enjoy." Laidies will be admitted free on the opening night when accompanied by a person holding a paid 30 cents ticket reserved before 6 p. m. on Monday. Sale of tickets opens tomorrow mrnmig. The Weather. Spring began to assert herself again yesterday at midday after a couple days of weather which has been cloudy and very cool.
