A cirrus in Kingstree never tails to draw a crowd and ihe Uobinsor. shew last Thursday was no exception. From every nook and corner came eager sight-seers and betore U o'clock io the morning more people were gathered here than have been seen in town tor many a day. As usual ob such occasions the colored population was in the majority, but a great ms.nv of them did not go into the circus. A. fairly creditable parade was given in the morning and the side-shows reaped a harvest of di.mea until the big tent performance began at 2 p. m. In one of the smaller tents the "hoochiecoechie" was in evidence, and a more indecent and degrading exhibition has probably never been witnessed in Kingstree. We understand that the town authorities ordered this performance sup pressed, but tht fakirs in charge would not be downed. Thp gamblers, too, plied their arts to some effect and gathered in more or less com from the way-farer. As to the main circus rantus opinions have been expressed. The menagerie was certainly replete with many fine specimens of animals and birds, and a; to the pageant ot Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, one would be wanting in a ppreciation not to admire it. The herd of performing elephants gave evidence of careful training and perlornio'l some really remarkable feats. Altogether the SHOW was IrtlllV ucuw, uo no, and we believe gave general -aiisiaclion. About 1500 people compose i the audience, but more than twice that number catne to to Wll. / mi Electrocuted at Florenc?. George Turbeville, detective and deputy sheirff, well known throughout all this country, was killed lust night by leaning against an electric light post down which ran an exposed wire. It was thought he had died of heart failure until one ol the crowd around the body touched the same wire and was badly burned. A WORD TO BUYERS.
