Spirit of Jefferson. [volume] (Charles Town, Va. [W. Va.]) 1844-1948, 1874-12-15

qulsm, mesmeristn, and jugglery are among
the best ever exhibited here, and ChiriskIs
wire>walking, aud feat on the slack wire, are
superior to anything yet witnessed by our
people. There is grace and refinement
about this entertainment in striking contrast
with the cheap shows which advertise much
and perform little" And more attractive
than all are the useful and costly presents
given out each evening, which form most
interesting finale to each entertainment See
advertisement and small bills.
PERsoNAL-We had the pleasure of
visit last week from our old friend, Isaac
Fouke Esq, of Charlestown Mr. F. is in
the successful practice of his profession in
the several courts of this judicial district and
has always been noted for loyalty to the in
terests OF his clients. We hope friend F. has
long ago forgiven us for helping poor debtor
who had his head in 'chancery," to elude his
argus eyes.
We had call on last Friday from our tal>
ented young friend, Frank Beckwith, now
practicing law in Charestown Mr.. B is one
of the most energetic young men in the pro,
fession, and any business entrusted to the firm
of Green & Beckwith will always receive
prompt attention.-Ndr. Statesman.

Too LATE ! Though the Advertisement
of our neighbor of the Court House Square,
Mr.. e. +. Beller, giving in brief catalogue
of the many new and beautiful Holiday Sou
venirs just received, is too late for our pres
ent issue, the eager, anxious crowd in
specting his shelves and windows betoken that
he is none too early to supply the demand that
is awarded. If his motto be that the first to
come are the first to be served, we have a
good prospect of curtailing his Catalogue"
by the time of our next publication.
