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.

Sherifi Smith Missed His Game.
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

in pitiful tones, rang out from tlie
chimney corner:
