I feel that I must warn all you good people about the forthcoming minstrel that the fire companies of the entire* county are producing for the ^entertainment of all—young and old. If you have not had a chance to stretch your face muscles for some time you will be taking a risk if you go. iBut if you want an evening of fun and merriment don't miss seeing and hearing those masters of mirth—the end men: Bob Cook, Buddy Ay lor, Lewis Turner, Gibson Wharton, Ralph Rowzie, and Rodes Brown. You will hear jokes you never heard before, and nos"8ibly' wiir~never hear again.
All proceeds from these shows, Friday and Saturday nights, will go toward buying equipment for the fire companies in Rappahannock. Can you think of a more worthwhile cause.
