The Circus Next Tuesday.
Next Tuesday is national, state and
county election day, and it is going
to prove right smart of a circus. The
national head liners of note, are Wil
son and Hughes. Wilson has been
around the circuit before, some four
years ago, and made quite a reputa
tion as a hare back rider and acrobat
of artistic skill, and his performances
have been described as specimens of
attractively beautiful drawing cards.
His performances always been criti
cised, but no one i n or out of the
profession has been able to suggest
how they could be improved upon. And
Uncle Sam, the ring master, announces
Wilson’s entrance into the ring “as
the darling, daring denounces of
Wrong, that defies danger in defence
of right and principle.” Turning to
the audience, with a profound bow,
Uncle Sam continues: “This Wilson
has never failed to / up t,r u i
hoop, over a bar, ag\ .st v. bur: cr
any other dangerous obstacle in his
path in all the past four years.
Crowned heads in Europe have wit
nessed his wonderful nerve in all his
acts, and while some have censured
him, the majority have applauded his
skill.” Br-r-r-r-h! Screamed the
band. Bang, Bang. Ladies and Gen
tlemen,” cries Uncle Sam, as he makes
a lunge at the two animals shooting
around the ring. “The gentlemen
straddling these two slow going steeds,
is Charles Hughes. You have never
■seen or heard of him before, and neith
er has any one else except those of
his own state. You will notice, ladies
and gentlemen, that the animal under
his right foot is an eichant, the cele
brated g. o. p. elephant, under the
other is a hull moose. Both of the. c
animals are very trickey, trained by
Roosevelt, and the motion of the rider
is up on one side and down on the
other. Mr. Hughes i; a. rival of Wil
son, has a good many fault to find
of his riding, but, ladies and g ntlc
men, he may beat Wilson around the
ring but he will never make as fine a
record with the general public.” “Now,
ladies and gentlemen,” cries Uncle
Sam, “you have before you, a double
herder, two promising riders, in a
whirl-wind act. These performers are
known to you, they are Charles Stew
art and John Paulk, of your county.
Stand back, there, don’t come too near
the ring! There’s danger. See how ,
gracefully Stewart comes around the
track, he’s been over the route sev
eral times and is confident of success,
but in the last performance he failed
to clear the bars. Watch, and see
how he goes this time. Now, up he
goes! Did you notice, ladies and gen
tlemen, that he is slightly pigeon
toed, but he makes a good jump, and
he catches square or. his toes. All
good riders catch on their toes.” Now,
notice this other rider, and as he is
on his first round, to help him out, his
name on the program is Sir Jonnie
Paulk. He is well made, his head sets
square on his shoulders, h e has a good,
bright eye, fearless and confident. He
is slightly bow legged, and his body is
built so solidly in connection with his
legs that it is difficult to guess wheth
er he carries his heart in his left or
right thigh. But he carries it some
where, that is sure. He is a new rider
but a very popular one, and in his
trial performance received IT more
points than his competitor, some
weeks ago. There was some dispute

concludes the performance in the big
show, ladies and gentlemen; as you

nothing to do but sit in their respec

country is safe, and the prices will be
satisfactory.
—Whenever you nee our old sow

—Murriel Peace and Mary Stevens
came to see me last Saturday. I
gave them seats just outside the door,
and tried to get them to talk to me,
but they wouldn’t. They were too
busy watching the passing throng to
see when a certain fellow with a white
cap passed. Girls make all kind of
conveniences out of me.
—Bri. H. Meeks was in town last
I Monday. In this day of big crops,
prosperity etc, I was in hopes he
would fatten up some, eating fine
victuals at all these big dinners, but

seems to be getting thinner and looks
hungrier. But he is a good man and
preacher and is forgiven,

if Cassie wasn’t a girl I’d say it was
a doggone lie.

Wednesday of last week at her home,
and afterwards went on a trip to Sav
annah, but are at home again. And
that Miss Mary Neugent and James
Corbitt were married on Friday fol
lowing, at Willacoochee. Both happy
pairs of wedded people have my best
wishes. There’s nothing in life like
getting married.
—Last Sunday Jim Harper, over
here at Hazlehurst, wanted to come to
Doulas, and he didn’t have the money.
He looked around for some one with
an automobile to bring him, and made
arrangements with W. T. Patrick of
that place to bring him over in his
car for eleven dollars. When they ar
rived in Douglas, Harper didn’t have
the money, but would make arange
ments, borrowed Patrick’s overcoat
and forty cents and went off. He
didn’t come back, so Patrick got officer
Davis to go with him and they found
Harper at Hayes’ boarding house in
bed. He was put in jail and a warrer.t
sued out for cheating and swindling.
