The public must admit that the great master work of Uncle Tom’s Cabin. by Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, trequently sketches the life of these happy people, and it 1s from this part of the novel that the management of Smith’s Double Uncle Tom’s Cabin takes the idea and make a special feature of intro- ducing these colored people into the drama, The old-time plantation scenes in songs and dance, will not be overdone, but cyerything true to life, with their own style of music and instruments.

PRAIRIE CITY BONDS. | aye | The Complication at Last Adjusted ; Satisfactory to All. | I | BONDS SIGNED BY THE COURT: | i] | As is famillarly known a_ special | ele n was held last June in old | Prairie City township to vote upon { a compromise of the railroad indebt- | edness at 75 cts. on the dollar. The | original amount ot the old bonds! outstanding which were issued in 1871 was $25,000, but ten years in- | | terest at the rate ot ten per cent. had } | accrued swelling the amount to $50,- | | 0090 | ‘The proposition at the | was to vote new three-twenty bonds bearing six per cent interest and | with them redeem the outstanding | old ones. But upon being examin- }ed into when the new bonds came | betore the cou court at its Novem- ; | ber term to be signed, it was tained that the law did not proyide | tor three-twenty bonds, and that the | error had been committed in sub- | mitting the question at the election, ; which should have een _ five- | twenty’s instead of three-twenty’s | ; The court therefore refused to sign the bonds and the matter went over | till the meeting last week. | At this term of the court there ap- peared betore it several of the lead- | ing citizens of old Prairie} | City township, with the attorney for | the bond holders and the State Au- ditot. These parties had held a meeting and agreed that it would be | satistactory for the court to change the bonds so as to read five-twenty’s in- ; stead of three-twentys, as that would j not particulailly change the pro- | position as the voters understood jit at the election, and would save | the expense and trouble of calling | another election. Upon this assu- | election | ascer- ‘ either five or twenty | and subscribing for the Times. rance the court made the change and signed the new bonds. It is proper to say that the amount | compromised in this transaction jg $34,000 of the old debt, leaving $16,000 yet to be settled when the holders of the bonds ask for it, The new bonds issued, payable ig years, are for three-fourths of the $34,000, and ac cording to the compromise redeem that amount.
