0. 9. F.
We, your committee appointed
to draft resolutions of respect
in memory of our beloved broth-
er. Geo. Starcke, beg leave to
submit the following:
Whereas, our heavenly Father
saw fit in his infinite wisdom to
take from our midst our worthy
and beloved brother on the 29th
day of January, 1912, and that
our lodge has lost one of its most
faithful members and one who
was always ready to do all he
was called upon to do either in
the lodge or in the community;
our lodge and community has
lost a faiti.ful member and citi-
zen, and his family a kind and
loving husband: and >n this sad
hour of hereavement we can only j
point to our Father above who!
can heal our sorrows and dry j
our tears.
Resolved second: That
a lodge extend to the
family our sympathy in their loss! otheis.
The Advertiser linn printed
from time to time articles ou
the question of patronizing the
home merchant versus the mail
order bouse*. This subject
1 has been discussed pro and con
with various individuals aud
we have decided to priut in this
issue two very able aud impor-
tant aitieles ou this subject.

WELL KNOWN COMPANY
AT THE OPERA
HOUSE.
On Friday, Feb. 10, the La~
serre Comedy Company opens
their two nights engagement at
the opera house, playing 'Two
Men aud a Girl' on Friday
night, "at Pike's Peak," Sat-
urday matinee aud 'The Bach-
elor aud the Lady' Saturday

Miss Sylvia Summers, the
ing lady, is au actress of
uatioual repute aud is well
known here, having played with
Mr. Albert Taylor iu a 'Mes-
senger from Mars' aud others
of his well knowu uramas.
The supporting company is
a first class one aud every de-
tail has been carefully attend-
ed to to make this the best or-
ganization ol its kind touring
the south.
The opening play never has
beeu pieseuted here. Its name
is au indication of tl.e theme
that.runs all through ihe bill.
"Two Men aud a Girl" tells
the story of two men, bosom
friends from childhood, friends
that shared everything with
each other, frienes tbat divided
their last dollar. A D'ltnou
and Pythias iu leal life. But
the girl comes into their life
and changes the even tenot ol
their ways. Unfortunately they
both fall in love with her and
from the first moment of her
appearance things with the two
partuers are all different, jeal-
ousy , bickerings, wrong
thoughts and wrong impressions
—its all there; but iti the end the
best man wins and the girl is
made happy iu the love of one
aud the friendship of the other.
There is plenty of high class
comedy iu every act. The corn-
pauy will play a bargain ma.

will produce that thrilling west-
