Indianaians will lie proud of this song for it will have a long and enduring place in their hearts. For that matter the song, liecause of its beautiful character, should, and no doubt will, liecome universally popular. It is handsomely published in sheet form. Price 50 cents. It may lie ordered of the publishers as above. A dollar proformance for fifty cents. Manager Bosse after a long and heated discussion with the agent of Blaney’s big farce comedy success "A Hired Girl" Co. which comes to the opera house Decemlier 27th. persuaded him it would be better to play to a house full at fifty cents each than to half a house at seventyfive and dollar prices so for the first time this season this attraction will play to fifty cents for best reserve seats, this means the best seat in the house for fifty cents and prices will be the same when the doors open the night of the proformance. This farce comedy company numbers twenty people and is headed by Chas. F. McCarty. Edith Murilla, Gus Pixley, John R. Cumpson, Mart Regan, Shuman sisters and the famous aerobatic dancers the Page sisters.
