The agricultural station at Perdue has general supervision of all farmers’ institutes and will furnish speakers who are thoroughly competent to give instruction in farming, and if there is any prejudice against farmers’ institutes in Jasper county it ought to be dispelled at once. The facts are that the station is run on the most economical plan, and wholly devoted to the agricultural and mechanical interests of the state, and it is the only school in the state where the young men of the state are taught farming. It is hoped the good people of Jasper will make these county institutes grand successes. L. Strong, President.

The Marie Sanger company, which appears at the opera house Saturday evening Sept. 21. is one of the best companies of its kind on the road, and so far, where they have appeared, crowded houses have greeted them. The piece is written for fun. and the performance makes plenty of it. In Indianapolis the matinee an dience was composed mostly of ladies and children who seemed to enjoy the entertainment. We clip the following very good notice from the Indianapolis News: When the Marie Sanger company opened yesterday afternoon at The Park, the theater was crowded, and last n'.ght by eight o'clock the theater was crowded. The performance is an operatic burlesque vaudeville acts introduced by very clever artists. Nettie Von Rieg is the star of the company, and is ably seconded by a dozen or more pretty girls who can sing and dance, and eight or ten commedians, the funniest of whom is William Gallagher. He plays an Irish Embassador, in the Golden Ball, and makes plenty of fun for everybody. The specialties are all good and several of them new in Indianapolis.
