Gentry la Coming.
The society editor will probably
overlook the arrival in this city of
Mr. and Mrs. Snyder, but society
itself will not be so careless. True
Mr. Snyder docs not pretend to be
a gentleman, nor can Mrs. S. boast
the proud title of lady. Notwith
standing this handicap the couple
arc very popular in North Platte.
They are charming entertainers,
graceful dancers, clcgaut dressers,
popular everywhere, and never
gossip about tneir "naoors."
Neither was ever known to speak
harshly and their nature is at all
times manifest. They have both
traveled extensively, but never bore
one by long drawn out descriptions
of the many sights they have seen.
The children love them and they
love the children. In fact every fond
mother wishes her children to
spend an afternoon or evening
with Mr. and Mrs. Snyder. She
knows they will enjoy themselves
Immensely because this pair arc
only two of the beautiful little
animals among the 300 comprising
Gentry Brothers' famous trained
animal exhibition which will make
this city a visit lor one day next
Monday. July 1, afternoon and
night.
