In its new form it will be given at Bosse's opera house next Wednesday. December 14. and should prove a magnet that will draw out a large audience. The play is admittedly one of the funniest farce comedy productions ever made and has produced more laughs during the eighteen years it has been before the publie than any other comedy known. In the cast will be Eddie Delaney, "My friend from Ireland - ’, whose excen'tric comedy and ligitimate methods are known to all theater goers. His long success in his own plays and his previous career as a member of Edward Hanyan's famous company have made him recognized as the funniest stage Irishman of today. Mr. Delaney will appear in his original character of “Mulcahy” as played by him over a thousand times. The supporting company is exceptionally strong, introducing new songs, dances medley, etc. Reserved seats at usual place. Discovered by a Woman. Another great discovery has lieen made, and that to by a lady in this country. “Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for seven years she withstood its severest tests, but her vital organs were undermined and death seemed imminent. For three months she coughed incessantly, and could not sleep. She finally discovered away to recovery, by purchasing of us a bottle of Dr. King’s New Discovery for consumption, and was so much relieved on taking first dose, that she slept all night: and with two bottles, has been absolutely cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz." Thus writes W. C. Hammick A Co., of Shelby. N. C. Trial bottles free at Page Blackburn’s drug store. Regular size 50c and §I.OO. Every bottle guaranteed. MARKETS.
