GEORGIA MINSTRELS.

Appearance is everything! You cannot help but be impressed with the appearance of Richards & Pringle’s Minstrels when they visit your city. No old hand-me-down*faded, wornout wardrobe. No sloppy, slip-shod parade. Instead you will see the best-dressed minstrel parade you have ever seen on your streets- Uniforms of the costliest material, built by the best tailors in the land. And the deportment of these talented colored boys is always a subject of comment in every city that they visit; and that includes all the principal ones from Maine to California. The performance given by this company, unlike many give# by their white competitlors, is strictly clean and refined. Not a suggestive word, B °ng, joke or action find a place in their program. This motto of cleanliness is doubtless the keynote of their success, for they are packing .the theaters throughout the country. There will be a big free street parade at noon, headed by the best minstrel band in America, and a concert in front of the theater at 7:30 o’clock-in the evening. Make a note of the date, at Ellis’ Theater, on Tuesday, Aug. 3. Threshing Coal— All kinds, lowest prices. COEN & Brady.
