With the high price of coffees, try a pound of our 25c mixed sample tea. JOHN EGER. S. G. Pass, who has been spending the winter with his son, Delos Pass, expects to go to his farm near Medaryville next week on a business trip. The only place in the city where you can buy 4 cans of strictly standart v kidney beans, hominy, pumpkin or saurkraut for * 25c is at John Eger’s. The 10-cent valentine social by the Royal Neighbors will be held at the Woodmen hall in the Odd Fellows building tonight. All are invited, especially Woodmen and their families. B. J. Gifford made two farm sales here Monday, sacrificing the land materially in order to procure money with which to pay taxes. John Eger bought another quarter section, paying $25 per acre for it, or that is understood to be the consideration. C. S. Chamberlin and J. W. Marlatt bought 240 acres together, and this is said to have Sold for $27.50. The land is mighty good value at twice what it cost the purchasers. The Damon Musical Comedy Co. will be at the Ellis theatre tonight. This is an excellent company and those who remember their former visits will be able to recommend them as unusually clever. The company is composed altogether of colored people, and there is real musical talent in them. There will be no disappointment for those who witness this very clever company in their 1911 performance. Mrs. John Makeever has returned from Ihcjjanapolis, where she spent several months, during which time she had a cataract removed from one of her eyes. The operation was successful and her eyesight, which was practically destroyed, was restored, and she is now in much better general health than before she went aWay. She has taken up her residence at the Makeever hotel. Her son, George Macey, accompanied her home. Dr. and Mrs. James Brady and son, of Erie, Pa., who are spending a few days with his cousin, J. L. Brady and wife, are taking a very pleasant winter trip. At New York they took a coast liner and went to Galveston, Texas, spending six days on the water. The weather was very mild and the trip a splendid one. On board the boat stateroom and board was provided along with transportation. They came from Galveston to San Antonio and thence to Rensselaer.

O. E. Bussard, of* Wabash, was here today on business relating to the farm deal he had made with “Farmer” Hopkins. Mr. Bussard had contracted to sell his farm to Mr. Hopkins and the latter had put up SSOO. After the guardianship proceedings were begun Mr. Bussard thought. he had better make a trip here to see if the purchase of the farm was going to be completed. He was assured that it would and that Mr. Hopkins would be there after tils sale, to wind up the deal. Prof. Otto Braun was here last night giving the band boys their regular weekly instruction. He also assisted Manager Don Wright in soliciting for money with which to purchase a new tuba horn, the one now in use beinq; about thirty years old and in a rather bad condition. Many of the other band instruments will have to have an overhauling this spring also and the band will be to considerable expense. As they did. not break even with the indoor carnival, soifie other means of raising money will have to be resorted to and Prof. Braun has in mind a negro minstrel to be given about March Ist. If this is given, it is probable that Fred Rhoades and Nokey Kork will be the end men and Jake Moore the interlocutor. The minstrel show will occupy only part of the evening and the band will devote part of the time to rendering several new selections. Another is also being considered.
