One of th 3 most unique, at tractive, side-splitting, original and grotesque entertainments of the coming Fair, will be a whis tling match between Bob Flowers and Elisha Vickers.

Marshall, who live near Mr. Vicker’s resi dence have entered complaints with the police to protect them from the mid-night practice-ser enades of that gentleman, while Mr. Jno.

While thrilling aerial and i arenic acts as well as sensational equestrianism and hippodiome track events are absolutely es sential to all big tent show’s, their performance would fall flat were it not for the clowms. Primarity the majority of show going enthusiasts, not to men tion the small boys and girls, visit the canvis cities to be amused and the salaried jesters must see to it that none are dis appointed. Realizing that a goodly share of the success of the entertainment depends upon the funsters. Cole Brothers, whose united show's will give afternoon and evening performances, at Douglas, Ga., November 7th en gaged for this season as unpar alleled a coterie of world famous clowns as money can hire. There is a veritable army of these jolly fellows, whose sole work is to provide wholesome laughs and amusement for all classes and all ages. From the time the main tent doors are opened, an hour before the first acts enter the end of the pro gram, the great hippcdrcrr.e track swarms with harlequins and mirth reigns fast and fu rious. Buster Brown, Simple Simon, Mose and all the other comic supplement characters arc there as well as more than a rcoi c of them. If ;< j <V no! >. ish to enjoy hale ai d !on tv jollity it will be advisable to remain away from the Cole Brothers United Shows. On the other hand, if you are suffering from an attack of the blues a certain and per manent cure is assured if you attend the performance.

There is something wrong with a small boy who keeps his face clean. Two women like to start a fuss and then leave their husbands to light it out. It doesn’t take much of a do mestic storn to sour the milk of human kindness. Even when a man knows a woman’s age she never thinks In* thnks she looks ic. When the opposing attorney offers to compromise it means that you have a good case. Nothing swells a man up so much as to have a pretty girl ask him for information. A watch should always have a guard, otherwise it’s apt to be stolen in an unguarded moment. The man who gets blue over trifles is apt to alter the color scheme by painting things red.

There is neither sense nor jus tice in raising the postage rate on second class matter, which includes newspapers and maga zines. Purely advertising sheets should be excluded but all print ed news and magazine matter is for the benefit of the masses. They should have their reading as cheaply as possible. Then if the thousands of tons of franked government matter were count ed and a reasonable rate only paid to railroads for carrying the mails, the ledger would show a balance in favor of the cash drawer. No change should be made in the . present newspaper rate. way of doing Tt.
