The olio, the public may feel assured, will be stronger than ever carried by this company on their previous visits, which includes several Euro pean novelties that are sensational. The parade of the Golfers together with the Great Barlow Hussars will be seen in their usual noonday outi ng on the principal streets of this city on the date of the performance, which is next Tbusday at the iStar Theatre for one night. Owing to the similarity in names (f this organization “The Great Barlow Minstrels” and others touring the country the management of the above company wish to notify the minstrel- loving people of this city, that. The Great Barlow Minstrels have been touring the country since the year of 1878 and have never had in any way shape or form any connection what ever with an organization that is at the present time touring under the title of Barlow <fc Wilson. The com pany referred to are but a few years old, and owing to the similarity in names, the public are cautioned, and thus enabling the public to judge for themselves as to the merits of these two distinct organizations. Sweet singers, funny comedians, buck and wing dancers, as well as vaudeville artists as good us the best, elaborate scenery, handsome cos tumes, gives one but a faint idea of what the Great Barlow Minstrels will present. The public may be assured that the performance of this season will be the best ever presented by this company. Note—I have known Mr. Coburn, the manager of the Great Barlow Minstrels for several years, and can conscientiously say that he will give Gaffney theatre goers a treat in min strelsy. He is a high-toned, honorable gentleman.—Ed. DEATH AT LIMESTONE. Our Dummy Kiiglno. The dummy engine of the Lime stone Springs Lime Co., which has been laid up about a month for re pairs, is now in running order again and has been put back into regular service. The engine recei/td a com plete overhauling and repainting, many new parts were added, and the machine is equal in quality and ap pearance to a new one.—Gaffney Led ger. This is the old dummy that used to ornament the streets of Rock Hill. —Rock Hill Herald. Our esteemed contemporary has the facts slightly mixed. Our dummy engine is no second-class affair— neither is it second-handed, as the present owners bought it direct from the manufacturers. It may. how ever, “ornament the streets of Rock Hill” at some future day. A Boy’H Wild Kide fur Life.
