witnesses the erection of some new
building. As these places are erect
ed why not let one be a suitable hall?
No first class troupes can be expected
to stop here when to do justice to
themselves is an impossibility upon
this stage. There are many good
companise whd now give Wilson the
go by on account of the poor accom
odation offered them.
The s:ze of the audience on Tues
day night demonstrates the interest
that miht be taken in good shows.
It would noMoubt pay someone who
had money, to invest it in a public
building with a theatre attached.
It first class shoAS were to visit
Wilson those that are so degrading
would hardly venture to make their
appearance. '
Cannot something be done ?; '

MrJames Jones, pf the drug firm
of Jones & Son, Cowden, 111., in
speahing of Dr. King's New Discov
ery, says that last winter his wife was
attacked with La Grippe, and her
case grew so serious that physicians
at Cowden and Pana could do nothr
ing for her. It seemed to develop
into Hasty Consumption. Having
Dr. King's New Discovery in store,
and selling lots of it, he took a bottle
home, and to the surprise of ali she
begen to get bffer from first, dose,
and half dozen '-'dollar' bottles cured
her sound arid well. Dr. . King's
New Discovery for Consumption,
Coughs and Colds is guaranteed to
do this good work. Try it. Free

It has been many days since the
people of Wilson have had the pleas
ure of witnessing a show as good in
every respect as "Farmer Hopkins."
It is indeed a treat to witness such a J
performance as the one given by;

large crowd present saw the curtain
fall on the last act.
Mr. Davidson, as "Jeremiah Hop
kins, of Slabtown, Conn.," was excel
lent. His funny sayings and doings
kept the audience in a roar of laugh
ter. Miss Allie ' South wick, as "Dai
sy Li'ndon" and "Jimmy Tuft, played
her parts to perfection, going through
''trials anrJ tribulations" at last to find
a kind home, etc. ,
The other actors showed that they
we're artists of the highest ability.

detective, is no stranger to the theatre
