Sharon Items.

Oats look well. Some of our most progressive farmers have planted corn. Wm. Henson is building an addition to his house. John Penwright was seen around thi6 vicinity last week. Mr. Farmer has a sawmill located on his farm one mile north of Sharon. He is also having some tile put in. Henry Wortly weilds the spade. The Lee Comedy Company billed to appear at Queen City schoolhouse Saturday eve May Ist, appeared on time. After waiting a short time, not more than three hours, for the Director to make his appearance the curtain arose and the play was soon under the way. After holding the audience spell-bound for a couf le of hours while the actors were forgetting their respective “cues” the curtain fell which was hailed with delight by all who witnessed it. Then came the colored death-like scenes awful! Sublime!? No. Didn’t feel sublime, many tried to but couldn’t. Our advice to the aspiring comedians iJ; when you go before an audience be sure.you know what to say. Rehearse your play before you stirt on the road.
