The immense prosperity abroad in the land does not yet seem to have made its appearance here. Office seekers are a most excellent guage of prosperity. For instance the city marshal’s office is sought by no less than a baker’s dozen candidates. The salary of this office is $45 per month, not a princely salary by any means, yet all these gentlemen are willing to be sacrificed for the good of their country — and themselves.

George E. Marshall has begun action in the circuit court against Frank H. Gardiner to collect a note of $46 and interest, alleged to have been given by defendant to Ralph W. Marshall on April 15, 1898, and, plaintiff avers, was purchased by himself at full face value on April 21, 1898. The sum sued for is $50.15 and costs and attorney fees. _,By the way, a careful and exhaustive examination of Bro. Marshall’s assessment sheet for 1899 fails to disclose any such note, in fact no one was owing him a dollar on April 1 of this year, notwithstanding he claims to have come into possession of said note nearly one year ago. Are you right sure, Bro. Marshall, that it was in April, 1898, you got this note?

Uncle Tom’s Cabin never grows old. There runs through it a vein of pathos peculiarly touching and sweet. Like the kiss of a child, it conquers by the very innocence of its breath. In the character of Eva it is unique. Who does not cherish in memory some sweet angelic child, who seemed to touch this earth only as a transient visitor, which passed away with the dew of childhood’s morning, too good, too pure for us? Was there ever a child like Eva? Yes, but her name is written upon gravestones. This good old play is unique because it is the only one that portrays the character. The John F. Stowe Uncle Tom’s Cabin Co., will appear at Ellis’ opera house, Wednesday night, Nov. 8. Prices, 25, 35 and 50c.
