 The Guy Family. The Guy family are advertised in another column to give an entertainment at the Town Hall ID this vil- lag3 next Saturday evening. We have ob- served the fact that our exchanges have spoken very highly of this entertainment, and we have no doubt whatever but all who sttend next Saturday evening will be de- lighted with what they see and hear. Our village has been amply favored with shows through the winter mOrths, and by some too. if they possessed merit it was difficult to discover. and our people are not to be censured if they give little heed to them, but this Guy Family entertainment we feel 1 fully persuaded is meritorious show, and will probably draw a very full house. Read what the advertisement in another column says about it..
 The Circus at "Tne Falls. ."-Our old friend Mir. c. H. Scott jr., the press agent for the VanAmburg menagerle and circus, which is to exhibit at Falls Village, Friday of next week, called at our office last Thurs day evening while we were away. We are very sorry to have been absent. MT. Scott is very popular among newspaper men and we shall always be glad to extend 10 him g welcome to our sanctum. The circus and menagerie which Mr. Scott represents is the same that visited this town something like year ago. only it is said to be larger show, and gives more entertainment for the money. It will be remembered that the show here last spring was regarded as the most orderly aud best conducted circus ol menagerie that has visited this place fol years. Every man connected with the show was quiet, orderly, ard gentle manly, attending to his duties with no un seemly haste or bluster, and the whole en tertainment seemed to satisfy everybody peri ectly. It is presumed the attendance at Falls Village next week will be large.
