Speed in the horse is desirable
quality, but when poor broken down
animal is whipped and compelled to do
a mile in three minutes, when he can
not easily go the same distance in four
minutes, it becomes, abuse. If those
who are engaged in this business, would
do it only on aoeek days, and somewhere
else beside in the main street of the vii
lage, it would look better and be better.
CHARLEY BEEDLE's BELL RINGERS
G. C. Beedle, our friend and townsman,
has just organized one of the best, if
not the very best troupe of musicians,
that ever travelled in this section of the
country Beside himself and his wife
Mrs. Emma Bailey Beedle, he has pro-
cured the services of six eminent musi-
clans, each of whom is as noted in his
profession, as are Mr.. and Mrs. Beedle.
Not only are the members of the compa-
ny excellent bell ringers and players on
brass and stringed instruments, but they
can do some of the sweetest singing ever
heard in this vicinity. Mr.. J. Pringle,
an excellent comedian, assisted by other
members of the troupe, will introduce
enough of the mirth provoking to salts
fly the best lovers of fun. We are sure
that nothing vulgar or silly will be per-
mitted where Mr.. Beedle is manager.
Charley has had very costly and ele-
CANT carriage or. chariot fitted up for his
troupe, which with the six beautiful
horses, with which it is to be drawn,
will form in itself q show we'll worth WIS.,
ting We understand that Mr.. Beedle
will visit some of the towns in this vi
cinity before he starts on his extended
tour Mr. A. T. Leach is his advance
agent, and we hope to see him in town
soon with his paste and his bills, as we
have long wished for an opportunity to
enjoy the singing and the playing of
band of excellent musicians, where the
performance was not rendered disgusting
by the stale and vulgar speech so COM
mon to travelling troupes. ED.
