" Peck's Bad Boy "

Will be the attraction at Morse Opera house tomorrow evening. There is prob- ably no farce comedy on the road that has lasted so long and given such general satisfaction to the fun loving public as that funny play, "Peck's Bad Boy." This year the piece has been rewritten and brought up to date with new scenery, new costumes, catchy music, graceful dancers, quartets, duets, choruses, med- loys, etc. The cast this year is stronger than ever and contains many old and new favorites.

He pre- sented the property for the purposes des- ignated with the understandlug that it he used as a home for the aged of Nor- folk county for a term of fifty years, after which it is free from all Incumbrances. The property wae given outright to the organizations in ooneideration of one dollar, this latter provision heing a legal
