A Good Cow puny, The Yeronce Company closed their engagement hero last Saturday night, having played five nights. It was very unfortunate for them that the three last nights of the week was wet aud disagreeable, so much so that the ladie.s couid uot come out. On Friday night the weather was so bad that the company abandoned the idea of giving a performance, also the matinee for children Saturday was taken off A farely good audience gathered to see the last play Saturday night, and all were well pleased. Many said they expected to see the actors throw off and cut the play short, as it was the last night and the crowd small, but they were agreeably surprised to be treated to one of the best plays of the week. We hope to have them come again, and hope they will have better weather next time. Their first liou.je wan thn larofpst avar scan at. a show in Union. ?' ' ' ? 4? Method Coun(s. The principal reason why com,try merchants fail to advertise profitably is that in their advertisements they do not talk specifically about the article they want to sell nor do they give prices. They must learn tho Wanamaker system. If the reader is at all I interested in an article he yrwti tti know its good points. If these are favorable he wants to know the price. If this is satisfactory he becomes buyer and the advertisement has served the seller and buyer. If no misrep. rffientation has been made the sale of this erticle may have created a steady customed the profit on whose trade may become large enough to pay for .he advertising neo^esnry to eecnr? one hundred more customers like him. Tit Alba fXeywoodThe Alba Iley wood Co., made its secon/l appearance in Union last Monday night and, although the people have had a ghow every nlnrlit for a week, a verv anod list of reserved seals were taken and an average audience was out to see in Albv Heywood one of tho finest impersonate* that has ever b^en t*een in Union. Hi* representation of the elderly lady church member was superb. In ou? of his talks he said he was not a two-'acad man, we think he was a little off in this statement. lie is undoubtedly n nmu of many faces, in fact his face if* hta fortume, backed up by ft voice over which he hal wonderful control. The instrumental music was snjoysd vary naueh by all. Especially tho violin and violoncello. Every member of tho company received an enclioro, some of tlieni being forced to'return tho second time. We must sny that our popular opera ; manager, I)r. 1. M.

I Oupont understands tho business and w<- r hope to soon s?m? something more attrac- |. five on the stage than tho loug calic" f, streamers that it lias heretofore been necessary to use to hide tho unsightly a briek wall. We would like to suggest tl while the good work is going on that a n diess circle l?e built mound the sides j, and for, say 10 feet from tho entrance, c the sides to be on a level with entrance a door and stage, and that the chairs in t< the pit or parquet Ik? elevated from fron' i? to rear.

With this s, improvement to our opera house we will h. have a pretty little opera house that the tt citizens will not be ashamed of. hi " * aj The New York Racket. U Mr. R. P. Harry, of tho New York ti itacket, is coming about as near setting M llic woods o!i 11 \v with his astonishing! v low prices as we h ive ever seen any one. Last week he just gathered up coat1-", vests and pants and piled them in front of his store, he then put a card over them with the astonishing aunouac*- fl ment that any one couhl have choice of th coat and vest foe $1.09, pants for We, 'h suit for $2-47. To say those goods sold '' is on'y to half express it, the people scon "caught on" aud there was a regular stampede made for that pile of clothing. Last Saturday ho announced that for ot.e hour he would have a pants s tie. The t,a hour was hot ween S and 9 o'clock, p. m. ec Well the crowd began to gather about 7 o'clock and they stood around, chewed tobacco, ai d swapped yarns, and selected, looked at the pile el' pants and won- v tiered how lie cou'd do it. Promply at p S the sale opeicd and then it was a Kind of grab game for an hour. The pants were sold for ?x.rctly half price.
