Llttlojohn’s Fair Shows—hero this
week for tlioir eleventh annuul visit, by
the way—havo furnished tho usual round
of high-class amusements for our pooplo.
The popular little man with the popular
.big shows was oxpoctod to havo been
badly crippled as a result of having been
dolugod at - Carlisle during the recent
cloudburst thoro. However, he came up
smiling, nnd so do his pdtrons, since his
shows are not only unusually onterfain-
ing, but have that characteristic feature,
cleanliness, which appeals to everyono.
The fact that thoro are no graftorB or
camp followers adds to tho quality of
entertainment furnished, as well as tho
pleasure of knowing you are again in
tho Littlejohn shows. Richmond is tho
final show point in,Kentucky for tho Lit
tlejohn sliowrf for the presont season, nnd
tho outfit will be placod aboard a special
L. & N. train Saturday night nnd sent
to Nownan, Ga., for tho opening of tho
county fair there on Oct. 0.—Richmond
(Ky.) Register, 24th ult.
Sheriff Brewster took a little jaunt
Into tho country n few days ago to got
a breath of fresh air, and in tlio course
of his rambles his keen Scant lad him to
n house occupied by a negro named Wndo
Boll, a tenant on Mr. E. R. Potts’ place
in the Third district. Ho found there
two or three gallons of corn whiskoy, and,
searching further, ho came across parts
of a distilling outfit concealed under
a mattress on the negro’s bed. Caught
thus red-handed, so to speak, Boll un
bosomed hlmsolf and led the officer to
an ojd dry woll situated about midway
botweon his houso and the house occu
pied by Ed McGivens, another negro
tenant on the place. Here were found
the missing parts of the outfit, snugly
concealed in an excavation that had been
made in the side of the well near the
bottom. Bell disclaimed ownership of
the still; but hie knowledge of its where
abouts, and his possession of a goodly
quantity of ite product, are matters that
will require somo explanation when he
is haled' before Judge Post.

interests in Carroll county. He is sur
vived by his wife and four children, viz;
Mrs. B. F. Boykin, Mrs. Mario Bradley
