I ft ' o SHEESLEY'S GREATER SHOWS Add to Gaiety of Trai J Week. Some of the Features to Be Seen By Visitors to the Show. The Greater Shcesley shows arrived iu town Sunday night from Orangeburg, S. C. where a mo*: plea ant week was passed. Mr. it. Lewis Berry, .Manager of tfie Evening News writes a special letter o:' commendation concerning the merits of the Attractions and the Courteous attendants and Business stuff. He concludes by saying that the Greater Sheeslfey Shows are of the best and Cleanest carnivals that have visited Orangeburg and that the shows are most enjoyable and in some instances instructive and Educational; in this he refers to the great Wild and Domesticated Animal aggregation embracing so many specimens of the Carnivorous. Omnivorous atul Herblverous world. Mr. Rollins is of the Chatauqua and Lyceum Bureau and his lectures are certainly masterpieces of Eloq uence. In the Saturday issue of The Times and Democrat the editor stops from his regular routine to say "The Times and Democrat wishes to pay vountary tribute to the orderly conduct of the members of The Sheesley (.renter Shows. Tit ir appearance and general attitude is all that one could desire in any relation. They have a lino show and every official with whom we came in contact both in a pleasure < r business way, act.d with the utmost courtesy and agreetble tanner." As this was the first visit of the Greater Sheesley Shows to the city of Orangeburg and those commendations are wholly voluntary and unsolicited they are assuredly most convincing and vitally important to thos who are strangers or skeptical in their opin'ions of such a combination. There were Seventeen Cars in the transportation of the shows to ? AAAA A AA AAA !

Governor Manning was among tho interested visitors last week at Orangeburg and in accordance with fiis wishes the flight will be made here. 'The Governor also visited tho lows and seemed highly pleased. Il. ppy Jack is mighty and weighty tier.gh and llolletta is a mitey mite. Jack holds court at one end of the lane of joy and Dolletta and her babies at the other. Jack hasn't been able to niako the streets of the city as yet because of the nature of the sidewalks and roads but he oj nes that he should be the first one to test the new paving when completed. His press agent tells some awful tales of his gastronomic feats which alone are appalling. Jack carries his own cooks and butlers who attend to his wants as they develop and they are both rapid and tireless. lie is simply fat. fat, fat, and if laughing and good nature are con ducive to weight Jack holds the belt for it all.
