JAN. 7th—THE TARRY TOWN WIDOW Among the coming attractions at the Park Theatre none promises a better and more enjoyable evening's enter tainment than "The Tarrytown Wid ow," which will delight onrthoitre goers on Saturday evening. "The Tarrytown Widow" is one of the most enticing of females and her theatrical career has been one continued round of success wherever the show has been. The "widow" so delighted the people of Warren, Pa., in her visit, a week or so ago, that a return date was at once ar ranged. The "widow" has a naughty "little wink" that Ciss Fitzgerald would stay up nights to imitate. The play is a comedy with a plot which tells of the trials and 3 tribulations of the lady from Tarrytown, whom ruthless fate has deprived of her partner in life. There is a fascination about the entire play as well as about the widow" and those who relish a good clean play, with fun all the time the curtain is up. should see "The Tarrytown Widow."

"Miss Cuba Jr,»' ' Miss Cuba Jr. " the spectadar pan tomine will be presented bv local talent under the direction of Mr. and Mrs. Howe in the Park Theatre, in the near future. It will be presented as a benfit to St. Peter's Episcopal church, and as the money goes toward paying for the completion of this edifice its to be hop ed that everyone will feel interested, at least to the extent of patronizing "Miss Cub«? Jr. " The piece will contain three hundred people and will be the largest produc tion ever on the stage of our opera house. Unlike most performances of the "home talent" nature, the piece con tains a delicate plot, 110 tiresome waits ensue and the entire production has the appearance of a genuine professional show. Refinement, grace and attractiveness charactize all of the dances and situa tions in "Miss Cuba Jr." the production savoring of the "refined" throughout. The story of the piece tells of the U. S. and success in liberating Cuba from Spanish tyrany. The release of Miss Cuba Jr. " makes a thrilling climax -an original and inspiring dance by Mile Gilbey H«we the "dainty dancer" —and a climax in which nearly a thousand American flags are used. The music used in this prodnction is the verv latest New York success and will be another entertaining feature of the performance. All in all the production of "Miss Cuba Jr, will be the event of the sea son and will undoubtedly play to pack ed houses here as it has done elsewhere. Those desiring tickets and good seats will do well to obtain them as soon as they are put on sale otherwise the chances are that the house may sell out leaving a few less desirable seats. All Item of Special Interest To Farmers. It will not be necessary for 113 to tell you of the immense amount of money spent in improving our property during the past year, but especially in re modeling our "FLOUR MILLS" to the very latest "up-to-date system," for most of you are aware of the fact. But after getting everything in good working order we began a series of tests and experiments by which we fonnd that we are NOW making MORE and BETTER flour out of a bushel of wheat than we have ever been able to do be fore. This fact will be specially inter esting when we tell you that we pur pose SHARING OUR SUCCESS with yon, for on and after January 1, 1899, we will give besides bran and shorts 36 pounds of HI<;H GRADE flour per bushel of wheat testing 60 pounds. The flour we will give is our celebrated "EAGLE BRAND." We wish you would COM PARE this flour with any winter wheat flour made IN or OUT of Butler count} - . If you do so we have no fear of the results. A trial grist will con vince you of the superiority of this flour. You will find your bread whi ter, lighter and more wholesome. These are very important points and yon might just as well be getting the, best. Yonr gristing, wheat or buckwheat, we can exchange so that yon can take it home with you. We are also pre pared to chop your own grain on short notice. We are also in the market for all kinds of grain, paying the highest market price for the same, as you will find out if you call on us. The time is about at hand when most of yon will require more or less feed for your stock. When in with your grist just ask to see our goods. They are very superior to much of the trashy Western stuff. In the feed line we carry the follow ing: Wheat bran and shorts, rye bran and shorts, buckwheat shorts, ear corn, shelled corn, corn chop, corn and oats chop, rye and oats chop, gluten feed, oil meal, hay, straw,oyster shells, etc. Whenever you are in need of SALT remember we have a very choice article it doesn't get as hard as a rock. Clover and timothy seed always on hand. Yours respectfully. GEO. WALTER <& SONS For bargains in valuable and desir able residences inquire of Walker & Mc- Elvain. New, four-room house for sale.
