Tin: Lkdgf.k has some doubts about the newspaper clippings furnished it by the advance agent of any show, but the advance agent of Walter L. Main’s .-iiiuvv was so gentlemanly and impressed us so favorably that last week we published a notice furnished by him. This week, however, we take pleasure in clipping the notice of the Charlotte Observer, the show having appeared in that city last Monday: ‘•Main’s show is good. There was not a poor actor yesterday on the sawdust. The trapeze work was ihe best seen here in years, the tumbling <Vas fine, the statuary beautiful, the clowns funny, the riding good, and the chariot races exciting. “John Ludlow was introduced as the greatest and oldest of clowns, and on his appearance was greeted with a hearty round of applause. He made a happy little speech, express ing his pleasure at being alive—not withstanding the fact that the Asso ciated Press had buried him—and of being again in Charlotte. He loved North Carolina, he said, and in con nection with this remark paid a giow- ing tribute to the great son of North Carolina, Zebulon B. Vance. Said he: ‘May his name and fame he never forgot.’ At the mention of Vance’s name the audience hurst into applause. “Lowlow is the same funny Low- low. His hits yesterday were clever. No one to look at him would take him to he f)G years ago. He is a drawing card to any circus. No man in the country has more friends, and as long as there is a piece of him left everybody will go to see him. .••The band that accompanied the show is one of the best ever heard lure. The music yesterday was worth the price of admission. “All in all, Main’s circus is good. The performance yesterday all the way through was first-class. ••Lust night the tent was again filled. It looked like everybody in town was there. The performance was up to that of the morning in point of excellence. “Main and Lowlow will always draw well. ft ^ c.; Is the cry of every one who enters our Great Store of Bargains.

We had some fun in this part of the city last Tuesday evening that we wish others to share. Last Mon day Hr. M. W. Smith left at V*’. T. Thompson’s shop on Rutledge street with his buggj .. whip, which disap peared. On the doctor’s return the whip could not bo found. Tuesday morning the doctor called in passing, and was informed that the whip was seen in the hands of a black hoy driv ing i’rof. W. F. McArthur’s team. During the day Mr. McArthur dis charged the boy and employed a new driver while Dr. Hrnitli was out in the country. So, on his (Smith’s) return, when, us ho came into the Smith’s Ford road, he saw McAr thur’s team and driver some distance ahead. The decision was soon made. Smith would drive up and capture his whip, l>o> included. The driver in the frightened manner in which he was pursued. So there was music in the air. The hells on the doctor’s buggy chimed as they hud never chimed before. The wagon roared and leaped like nu ambulance on its way to a field of carnage. Rutledge street was soon reached. The team of mules made a fine exhibition, and Shoes which you know are Cheap or we would not Ret x them in.
