One of the established successes in the theatrical world Is “Sis Perkins," the rural comedy drama which will be seen at the opera house Thursday, August 24th. While the comedy element predominates, and laughter compelling situations are the rule, there is a touch of sentiment, a vein of heart Interest and a story which takes the auditor from the peaceful life of the farm to the hustle and noise of the city streets. Uncle John Foresman suffered quite a loss by the Saturday morning storm. Six head of two year old steers were killed by lightning. They were standing under a small tree and when the bolt hit the tree it killed the six out of his herd of twenty-six. Uncle John says that five of them were the best he had and the other was the runt of the herd.—Brook Reporter*
