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

daring of modern Hird Men, and lie

He is the most sought after man
' n the business today. Capt. Redding
does not set any particular pace
or rule for his Ariel Exploit: Hon, he
simply files, like a bird, lie soars,
j dips, races, dives. now chasing,
j Automobile racing with on poming
'trains, darts to the earth someI
'
times uncomfortably to onlookers
then soars away to the Clouds.

some of ttie liights made at night, :

Of the shows there are many and
of many different selections.
The European Trained Wild Ani
mal Aggregation is by a long margin 1
tlie most expansive in resources j
of any on the road today, with its
many features of animal wisdom.

There have been large and small
people who have offered their
heights and mites for approbation.
('apt. Redding will make his first
flight over the city Tuesday noon at
a quurter past twelve. His flight
will be made at the same hour Pri
day and start from the same place.
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

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.
What would your little girl think
it she were to awaken and find such
a tiny little woman standing at
her bedside, so snuwl that a child
of three years could carry her. Yet
itli a couple of youngsters, a boy
and a girl, both so large that mother
looks like a wee bit of a fairy.
Old Mother Goose used to tell of
. uch strange pranks and people, but
vc never expected to find a mot her
ike this one.
It would take a long time for a
wise person to find s'll about this
little woman and the multitudes
are always at the doors of her ruinutnre
theatre listening, witching ami
wondering.
lletta at birth was in length
just eight inches and iter feet were
o small that a silver dollar would
make a platform large enough for
both of them and have lots of room
> spare, and her first crib was a
cigar box. She is at this time twony-eight
inches high and weighs but
little more than a child of a year,
to be exact thirty-seven pounds.
She is thirty-three years of age

division which has just lost the veirablo
fortress constructed on the
