Mayor's Court, John Renwick and Rosa Johnsot colored, were up before the Mayor las Thursday night for disorderly eonduci It seems from the evidence that th: couple have been causing considerabl annoyance to their colored neighbors b '.heir conduct, John is a married ma but R osa is not his wife. When it cam down to the specitic charges of Tuesda night, Nov. 18th, however, the witness* got all mixed up on dates, and no dire* evidence was adduced, so the verdit of not guilty was rendered. M<*. D( Pass represented the defendant*. Th Mayor's court att?acts almost as large crowd as the circuit court. Almost a cases are tried by jury. Field's and Hanson's Minstrels. Th* minstrel troupe that showed I the Opera House Thursday night, la? weak, gave a very creditable perforin ance and were very liberally appla\:de by thoRe present. There was a goo audience notwithstanding tho fac that the big banquet was going on t tho New Century, and a large per cent of the theatre goers were present a the banquet, many of them tried t take in both, but it was too much t do and they only got about half c each. The minstrels will no dout draw a good house when they nes appear in our town. There are twer ty o^d people in the show. Wear glad to see that, our our Opera Hon? manager is catering for first clns shows. While Union has tho repute tion of being a poor show town w think she would give very liberi patronago to first class troupes. Th town is getting to be large enough t attract good shows. Dan Packard Opera. This opera company showed WeJne! ilav night of last week (notice crowe out) to the largest audience eve seen in the opera house outside of com mencement occasions It is a first ela? show and no doubt the finest of tli kind that has ever visited Union. Thei are some thirty members of tho troup and the cap:tc;ty of our stage, oven sine its enlargement was tested to its utmo^ capacity. The singing was good uad th "Mascot" was enjoved very much b the lovers of tho opera. The troup stopped at the New Century Hotel am marie things lively around the hotel TL .. 4. 1 11 1 i ury i**m vo i? very weu piease with the reception accorded them by th people of Union, and wh expe< them to come again. Quite a littl bubble of dissatisfaction arose among number of those who had seen the sho' before when they recognized the fact thu Dan Packard, the leading character, h e laid off and put up a substitute to via his part. We hope he will not throw oJ en us if he again visits Union. Notice to Hog Raisers.
