Many farmers are renewing the contracts to raise beets next year and the committee is delighted with the 1 success they are having. I Commissioners Christ Kiclier and 'Jim Hendricks were in the city today, ! looking after matters pertaining to their work. The February session of the board will convene next Monday. Mark Lea’s Musical Comedy Company, one of tho recognized musical ! comedy companies now at the Bosse Opera House headed by one of our musical comedians Mr. Mark Lea, together with a company of active performers. An evening's entertainment of more than the ordinary merit Is given for tnere is cnorus of beautiful girls all of whom can sing. An array of many features seldom found in attraction of this kind. It has been found out by practical exeprienc, that clean musical comedy is on the same playing basis with a first class vaudeville, and many a vaudeville company has taken the musical world. The owners of this company have nothing left out of their company which in their minds would bring new patrons to every performance. Musical comedy is a seperate division of stage-land and it has come to pass that musical companies to be success- ! ful must have in their ranks men and women whose reputation are as 1 fun makers on all sides. This is the ! case in the “Mark Lea's Musical ’Comedy Company, which is to spear, here tonight. OBITUARY.
