Dan Castello's Circus failed to put
in an appearance last Thursday, and
many were the expressions Of bitter
disappointment by the fun-loving peo-
PIE OF Osccola and vicinity, but the
greatest disappointment was felt by
those of our accommodating tradesmen
who furnished supplies to the advance
bill posters, receiving therefor "ordcrs
Tor pay" on the ticTct agent. Barring
their losses, it is a great consolation 10
know that we still have some four Or
five hundred dollars in the county that
would otherwise have gone into Cas-
'ellos pockets.
"A slight attack of "sPirit of I'M
provemcnt" has seized some Of our cit
izens. Drs. Pettey and Steele are both
having houses built the former on the
'ot opposite Dr. felts, and the latter IN
the lot adjoining Mrs. Cooke's;a a els
tern is being excayated by Mr.. Good
rich a well by W. P, Hale; chimneys
and aues by different parties all over
town sidewalks and other minor alte
rations and Improvements a9 njiHiiRm.
The Osccola Literary and Dramatic
Association are having lumber hauled
with which to have an addition built to
the Dri3er schoolhouse, to obtain more
room for their stage and auditorium |;
two colorcd restaurants are in full
blast; one ditto dance house and yet
the people won't be happy until they
know that Tildcn and Hendricks are
elected.
