A circus Is a wonderful thing. This Is a fact that we will not have to ar gue and bring forth musty books and documents to prove, for it is admitted as true by the masses. Everybody must go. Why, we don’t know. If we can use slang, ’’you can search us.” But they do go, so that is sufficient w suppose. At least they don’t stop to reason why and the show doesn’t mind, and as they are the ones inter- esiced we don’t suppose we ought A o kick. Nor will we. We will cut this short right here by saying that every body, including pa, ma and the baby, takes the show In. They don’t go, for the word “go” doesn’t exactly express what we mean ’;o say. They take It in. ‘‘Taking it in” translated into the ’“Queen’s English” means getting to the circus any old way for the getting i.here has nothing to do with this, tale, as It is a small matter how they get there, for, as the story fellows say, ;hat is a different story, for we hold that the taking in can’t commence un til they get within the ropes and, strictly speaking, ai'e at the show. Pa, ma and the baby have arrived and are drinking lemonade and eating burnt peanuts. Do they know the peanuts are burned? No; of course they do not. Are they nor at a circus. Are they not enjoying themselves regard less. Whether or not the peanuts are burnt is a small matter. Besides, peanuts and red lemonade, there are several other courses that we must FROM THE FAR WEST. At the firs; meeting of the new town gkj but hey are there nevertheless. council one of their most important steps was to reduce thy salaries of the municipal officers. The follow ing reductions were made; The sal* ary ot the mayor was reduced from $700 to $600 per year; the clerk from $600 to $400; the treasurer from $300 to $50; superintendent of electric lights and water works from $1,500 to $1,100 per year; aldermen from $100 to $60; overseer of street force from $40 per month to $30 per month. Another act was to Snake it a rule to fine aldermen for non-attendance at meetings of the council. The Wake Forest Glee Club and Or chestra deligbed a large audience in the beautiful auditorium of Limestone College on Thursday evening. The dub is composed of a clever set of young fellows who made themselves ve-- popular during their short stay in the city.' The performance they give is a pleasing one. the chorus and work of the orchestra is very good. Mr. Poteat possibly deserves especial mention as he appears to be a young man of musical ability ami his pres ence hdps the performance consider ably. Much local Interest was added Gaffney was honored by a circus a few days ago. Oh, no ;it wasn’t Bar- num and his world-famed troupe of performers. It was another. We have forgotten the name but we had never heard of it before. That ac counts for our poor memory on tnat •qore. Buster Brown went. He simply went. He didn’t go with the intention of taking it in but simply to see what he could see, and as far as his mission wa s concerned the trip wa;> a success* ful one, for he saw many wondeirful things. He missed most of what the spieler called "The Big Show," but what he did see of that could hardly be graced as a “big show,” spelt with capitals, as the spieler stated express ly It must he spelt to convey the cor rect idea of its elegance and magnifi cence. The feature worthy of mention and which attracted the most comment was one which anyone without fear of being accused of prevari cation might class as a star; at least he played many parts.

T„ Mar. 12, 1906. Editor Ledger: As I have been in the big Indian Territory for some months, and find it a much better country than I expected to find it, I though that I would write you a few facts about the coun- tn r . Two months ago I landed in the city of Mannsville, J. T., “the Queen of the Washtal Valley,” where I am at present residing and as I find the country, town and people all that any one could wish for I will remain here, and I can unhesitatingly recommend this country to my friends of the old country as a first class field for in vestment, and the mradise for the farmer and for the benefit of any of m ' old friends who wish to come to this country in the near future. I herewith chronical a few facts re garding the country, setting forth its many advantages, as a farming country and a place for safe invest ment over the older countries. But be fore 1 begin with a genera 1 dec-crip- tion of the country, I wish to ad”e yon a lucid descrlpton of our beiuGfr’ little city, which but four years ago sprang forth as a flower from its bu t. and today it is a thrifty little city of twelve hundred people, and I do not sa/ too much when I say they are a social, generous and accommodating class of people. Today the town has as fine a class of business men as can be found in any country and it is with satisfaction that I state that you can buy from them anj be courteously treated and get anything desired, for we have the following businesses rep resented which will prove to you that we are living in a city of great advan tages. and not in a village of Indian wigwarms. We have one National bank, capi tal stock $25,000, six general stores, stocks ranging from three to ten thousand dollars; five grocery stores'* two restaurants; two hardware; one furniture store; one meat market; one racket store; one saddle and har ness store and two cotton gins, with a capacity of one hundred bales of cotton per day, and besides we have a weekly newspaper, which has had much to do with th© progress and wel* fare of Mannsville. The Mannsville Real Estate Agency is one important feature of this town and its manager has not lost any time in working for the up-building of the town, and I can honestly state that the above name concern has the wel fare of the town and country at heart and every statement made by them will be correct and visitors and pros pectors will receive courteous treat ment from them and when writing for information about the town and conn- »NEWSY LELLER FROM WILKINSVILLE, MOVEMENTS OF THE PEOPLE OF LOWER CHEROKEE.

Herbert, of Alabama, and Hoke Smith, of Georgia, retired. The renewed talk of cabinet changes, the renort that Secretary Taft may be appointed a justice of the Supreme Court, that Secretary Hitch cock may retire in the summer and that Secretary Wilson may give up the Department of Agriculture most any time has led to considerable dis cussion of the name of former Senator John L. McLaurin. of South Carolina, . for the place in the cabinet. When he was in the senate Mr. MCLaurln was noted for the broadness of big**/ views. He coined the phrase “Com- V mercial Democrat,” meaning the Dem* oorat who wag broad enough to rise above party environment and look af ter the South’s material interests. President McKinley offered the Sen ator a place in the Philippine com mission, and President Roosevelt of fered him a place on the Court of Claims. At that time he refused to accept any post because he desired to be free to identify himself with the industrial development of the new South. Mr. George Von L.
