Show and 8 e es Wonderful things.
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

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

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

give is a pleasing one. the chorus and
work of the orchestra is very good.

mention as he appears to be a young

Gaffney was honored by a circus a
few days ago. Oh, no ;it wasn’t Bar-

have forgotten the name but we had
never heard of it before. That ac
counts for our poor memory on tnat

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.

Former Gaffney Citizen Writes of
Prosperous Indian Territory.
Mannsville, I. 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-
