Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1873-1877, 1876-08-31

Nor a word now days about the Car
son Agricultural Society; not any talk
about prairie schooner navigation with
Columbus; not any breath of encourage
ment relating 20 the proposed Methodist
school here. Are our business men and
capitalists paralyzed? Arc those whose
| all is staked on the fortunes of this little
city, content to GO to sleep and let the
means aud chances of success slip away
from Us? Look at Reno. The enter
prise of that place puts US of Carson to
shame. Their FaiiA is second in i'm
portance to the great State Fair at Sac
ramento. As to natural advantages
Reno is not to be compared to Carson
| But her wide awake citizens are always
| at work They never rest. are pevar dis
couraced, never backward or afraid to
spend their money for the good of the
town. Until those of US who are able to
do SO, show a disposition to initiate this
kind of enterprise. our Agricultural So
ciety will languish, our schemes of ad-
vaDcement will fail and our town will
suffer from a too frequently recurring
depression. Let's wake up and do
something.
WHAT THE ELEPHANT DID.-The
veracious chronicler of the Chronicle
of last evening says that one of the
elephants attached to the circus, while
parading the streets yesterday, in
passing q barber shop reached out
with his trunk and tore off the BARRIERS
pole from post to which it was
nailed, and with flourish threw it
up on hOUse-tOp a few yards farther
en-. The barber rushed out, feeling
quite insulted, bat made no effort
whatever to whip the elephant. Some
men will stand a great deal.
THE LONDON GRAPHIc.-We have
received from the publishers the Lon
don "Graphic for August II. This
is in many respects the most sa:isfac-
tory illustrated periodical ever issued
from the English press. The illustra-
tons are clear and clever specimens
of the wood, cutters art, the letter press
is really beautiful and the paper-Of a
delicate buff tint-is very superior.
The present number has several
sketches illustrative of the war in east
ern Europe, besides some London
scenes of u very interesting character.
DEACON RICE ia still emulatiug the
ways Of old LEAK Walton. and catching
all tn trout that can be tempted to nib
BILE at his hook, in Hope Valley. He
writes that his health is greatly i'm
proved by his jaunt, and that he may
possibly return home by next Sunday. A
diet of mountain trout sauced with
mountain appetite is calculated to make
most any man improve in health.
ABOUT half past six O'Clock on Tues
