Something from what takes place arround us.
You have recently seen two of North Platte's business men adopt the cash system. One of them saying-
in a circular sent out that a morchant doing business on a credit basis always has to charge a certain per cent more for the goods ho sells than would be the
case if he did business for Cash. How many of these losses have you paid for? Better trado at a store that has no old losses to covor nor now ones to make.

At the Old Cross Roads,
It lias been claimed and with ap
parent yood reason that of the new
playa produced this season, one of
the most remarkable and strongest
characters has been created by Mr.
Hal Reid in Ins latest play At the
Old Cross' Roads. Mr. Arthur C.
Alston who has delighted our
theatre patrons more than once
with his presentation of the peren
nially popular Tennessee's Pardner
purchased the play and haB given
it an elaborate scenic environment,
which was made possible by the
scenes being laid around the pic
turesque Natchez, Miss., country.
At the Old Cross Roads is neither a
. Yankee rural drama with its
X rrrosalv exairerated types of char
acter, nor a play dealing with the
hackneyed southern war theme; it
is simply a story ot tntense numan
heart interest, told in straight for
ward fashion that makes it all the
more dramatic. To tell in advance
the storv of the play or of Parepa'a
surprising life, would lose force and
interest in the drama before its
initial presentation here Thursday,
November 7th
Eatha Williams, who played
Nettie Bice in Tennessee's Pardner,
essay, the role ot Parepa the octo
roon; Jane Corcoran, who was Ten
nessee hi the same production, has
the part of Aunabelle Thornton,
the heiress to Magnolia Grove plan
tation. The other characters are
in the hands of Mrs. Charles G
Craig, Louise Vallentine, Mary
Rose, Edwin Walter, J. J. Pierson,
Maurice Hedges, Thomas Ince, F.
Moatyn Kelly ana several oiuer peo
pie 01 equal note.. .

fire department the receipts were
over $44,000. This is evidence that
the business men of Chicago ap
preciates its fire department and

maintenance of the department.

the same spirit of appreciation, the
receipts at the annual ball of the
local fire department to be held at
the opera house on the 22d will be
several Hundred dollars. Evcrv
cent ot the net receipts from this
