THE HERALD MUST LIVE. Again we beg to remind our friends that all notices relating to money-making enterprises, for church, school or any other cause, are charged for as advertising at one cent a word. All cards of thanks, for any purpose whatsoever, are charged for at the rate of one cent a . word. It would save us a good deal of trouble and embarrassment if yon would just count the words and send the money along with your "copy," as it hardly pays ns to keep books on these little items. Yet in the aggregate they mean a considerable loss to the paper if not collected, and they are so easily overlooked. Shoots Wife, Kills Self.

The "Sanger's Combined Shows present along with their comedy department this year, numeious prominent jesters, commonly called "clowns;" Delfugo is the principal jester, and associated with him are 45 kings of the clowning world. Along with these funny chaps, others also assist with comical antics. When intermingling with citizens on the street none of them would be suspected of wearing the loose robes of a fool, but when they are in the ring with their makeups on, they laugh and the crowd laughs with them. A jolly lot, and they have certainly helped to unload at least temporarily the cares from the minds of thousands of people. Clowning is an art of itself, the best clowns are born, not made. The fun making department of the Sanger's Combined Shows is fully up to the high standard of its other departments; in fact, many a person will testify to the statement that the clowns with this show are worth the price of admission. Their work is appreciated, as the present strenuous life of most people causes them to relish a little pure nonsense now and then. Everything in all departments of ? ? a ni iLt'n the Sanger uomDinea onuws iuio year is positively new, refreshing and up-to-date. Sanger's Combined Shows is the only big circus coming this way this year. The big show will exhibit in Bamberg Tuesday, October 24th. F. H.
