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.

r WEEK
Business Booming
Again
1 New York:?Convinced that the
pendulum of business is ready to
swing back to good times, representatives
of the great manufact
uring enterprises o? the country
> with headquarters in this city, have
j ordered the wheels of industry, si?
lent now for many months, to again
hum with the song of work
A canvas of the situation at
( home and abroad, they say shows
that conditions are steadily improvi
ing and that all business, both big
and little, has reached the end of
the period of depression, which
made necessary the heavy retrenchments
in expenses and curtailment
of production that marked the
spiing hiiu summer montns.
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
