The surpassing excellence ot his entertainments. whtcn exceed In extent atid varl' ./ of Interesting and novel features any heretofore presented In the circus Jim?, Is thoroughly attested. The exhibitions j;1 veil under :i inainoth canvass, are anlqucIn character and abounding In startling feats, comprising over sixty distinct acts, performed In succession In the rings and upon the elevated stage. The old-tlmo circus features, such as riding, tumbling, leaping, etc., are reiniued, to which arc added such novel and astonishing nttraciions as aerial bicycling, performing Arabs, Turks. Moors, Egyptians, Mexicans and Spaniards; M ile Aline, the Human Fly, who walks head downward upon a polished plane of wood, sixty feet above the ([round; grand roller skating carnival, a oinwn cleohant and a performing white hip popotamus from the historic Nile; an equine wonder In the shape of the horse lilondin, that has reached the zenith of brute intelligence l>y learning to walk it tight-rope stretched twenty feet above the ground. A decidedly Interesting feature in tlie natural history department Is the bovine curiosity?a ^ living, healthy cow, with two distinct and fi pertectly foimcd heads, each with Its compliK mcnt of horns, eyes, ears and a mouth. This S feature alone Is a stndy for naturalists. m Many cages of wild animals, nud numer, ous trained animals, occupy the menagerie tent.

If you want your town to progro**, pull together. Differ as inttcb at you please in politics and religion, but when it comes to matters pertaining to your common interest* and the prosperity and growth of yonr town, unite and pull together. Brn. Hortgkins has "stood up In meetinc"' time after time and rear after year, and given us this advice,and It la good common en??. If your neighbor proposes a measure that Is calculated to promote the public good, don't hang back i becsaaa you didn't propose It yourself, hilt give it vonr Bin.rwipt ?n<l null tocether. Don't lay back when your neighbors are at work for your interest as well as theirs, sr.eer, and talk about **b??r heads,"" but take hold with a will and pull together. If neighbors are doing for you what you can't do for yourself, don't club Vm, but strengthen their handsand pull together. Dissension In public matters causes si-ctlonal feeling that works Incalculable harm to any community and that will require years and years U> bridge over. That town succeeds best, the citizens of which take pride J in it, works for Its Bnceesi?. ench In h's own war, but L all pulling together, encouraging new comers and new enterprise.
