L L N EX1 Out of the Ordinary Is the Sangers Combinec Shows "Something out of the ordinary' is a remark that can properly Ix made of Sangers Combined Shows which will exhibit in Leesville Thursday October 26th. The big circus has a reputation for producing remarkable surprises in its arena until the public has learned that it can attend an exhibition of the Sangers Combined Shows expecting to see something new and different. There is an unusual number of features with this shovV this season. It is different to pick the best. Some will like the trained wild beasts exhibition or horse wonders. Others win preter the Kirby family, Meredith Troupe, the Riding Walletts, the Glasgow Royal Horses, the Ellite Troupe, while some will spend most of the time laugliing at the host of clowns, listening to the Julius Winslow famous band enjoying the races. admiring the animals or petting the beautiful Dublin Prize Horses. No matter which way one looks while under any one of the Sangers Combined Shows tent's, he is sure to see something out of the ordinary. STATE FAIR COLUMBIA, S. C. OCT. 30 TO NOV. 4, 1911.

Failures are steadily declining in number and aggregate losses in all sections of the country and a firmer tone is noticable everywhere. In New England, sixty mills giv ing employment to more than 100,000 men and women, which have been shut down from two to ten weeks, resumed operation on full time on Monday and the balance of those that have been idle, have arranged to start the first of the coming week. From the South and the West the news is equally cherry. In the former twenty mills that have taken hold again and in the latter 35 large manufacturing plants which have been closed or operating on a minimum basis, encouraged by the signal improvement in new orders, are once more in full swing President William M. Wood of the American Woolen Company which controls thirty mills in New England and New York, having 30,-" 000 employees, who are now working on full time; says that the outlook is for a permanent and long continued change for the better. In support of this conviction," in j which all manufacturers here now generally share, the Greenwood-Cotton Duck mills at New Hartford, Barkhampstead and Canton, Conn., wliich have been closed for ten years have been re opened and giving work to 2,000 operatives, with the promise that the force will be substantially increased in a few weeks. At North Brookfield, Mass., the Oxford Linen Mills which have orders in hand to keep them going at their maximum efficiency until well into the winter intend to double t leir force, with the installation on January 1st of new machinery or tiered recently to enable them to supply the demand for American made linen goods. With the general revival in trade which these signs augur, business is looking forward to a year of increased activity and nation wide prosperity in which every industry and every community will get its proportionate share. Coincident with this, a marked lowering of the cost of living, especially in the everyday staples of life, is predicted Negro Fair AUGUSTA. GA.
