capital order. We have not had the
felicity of riding over the road lately.

THE COMING OF THE GREAT SHOW.
Old John Robinson'S Great Worlds
Exposition. one Of the most reliable
organizations in America, will visit
here on Tuesday, October 20.
The show is undoubtedly among the
best known to the amusement public.
From the Pittsburg Di&patcA, we clip
the following:
This vast combination has taken
the citizens Of Pittsburg and Allegheny
bv storm. Vast and appreciative au-
diene,, crowd the pavillions at each
entertainment. The exercises in the
arena are among the best witnessed in
Pittsburg. Stickney and Wilson, and
the great menage act Of Miss Emma
Lake, are witnessed with admiration.
and are worthy the enthusiastic and
fattering reception accorded them. In
fact the entire circus is decidedly good'
and is patronized in accordance with
its merits. The menagerie is composed
of the very many specimens Of rare
animals, and the gigantic amusement
enterprise is well managed and con-
Quoted. The company remain but two
days longer, giving four of their really
pleasing entertainments. John Robin
son is keeping good his promise made
the public of giving them one Of the
best exhibitions possible, and it is no
wonder tha5 nis show is literally pa
tronized."
Newberry, Oct. Goth.
PERsoNAL.-A pleasant visit was
made us last week by Col. Walker, Of
the firm of Walker, Evans & Cogsweli.
Col. w. has been making quite an ex-
tended tour in enlarging his business
acquaintances, and has been quite sue
cessful in receiving orders.
We were gratifed with visit from
the Senior partner of the celebrated In
dian Girl Segar house, Mr.. Perry. This
gentleman has visited all the upper
Counties of the State, and has made
himself personally known where before
he was known principally through the
smoke of his segars.
Mr.. Calnan, one of the proprietors of
the Columbia Hotel, and late from
Gienn's Spring, paid Newberry a visit
last week. We judge that his brief
stay here among the many friends
whose acquaintance was made during
the summer at the Spring, was very
pleasant. The Cornet Band gave him
a serenade on Thursday night at Post
Master SCOTS residence, where he taber-
nacled, in acknowledgment of which
compliment he responded in few ap-
pEODi lstlS tSlUd1 hS. &A4OlIICL OViSI 1Oill
the band, and another call, brought out
Mr. Scott with short speech. After
which rush was made up stairs where
segars and liquids were set out. We
understand that some of the party form
ed themselves into a mutual admiration
society, and sat up until two o'clock in
the morning.
MORE LIGHT.-We are almost dis
posed to be in good humor with our
selves and the rest of mankind, and to
praise the progress of the times gene
tynly, at home and abroad, since our
lann g. Intendans and good city fathers
,mn uo kind enough to give the peo-
y o,,u A.s . flown more light on
