Americas Notes.

MONDAY, May 8.
Cole Bros show at Emporia on Satur-
day was the best have seen in ten years.
The concert was bore. The bareback
riding was very poor. The balance of
the show was good Capt. Bates and
wife were all they are advertised to be.
Mrs Bates had a baby-one belonging
to some one in the audience-and it
looked mighty ''wee" in her arms. The
performance by the sisters on the
trapeze was splendid-when the young
lady was standing with one foot on the
trapeze and the other pointing to the
MONDAY sun, 1 noticed the man that had
come just to see the sacred cor, was pay
ing close attention TO the girl. The or
der was the best we have ever seen at a
circus, and we attribute that to the pres
ence of so many of the good citizens of
Americas. 'Tis curious-the reasons
that took some of our people to the show
DIR. T. A. Wright went to take me and
see the show. Sam Bell is buying cat
tie and went to see the SACRED cow"
DR.. A. B. Royal went down, but didn't
attend the circus. A G. Sackett and
wife went to let the children see the ami
mails. Adams went because he was Rich
and wanted to take his 'gurl." Cum
ningham might have stayed at home, as
he had Show(alter) of his own. Will
Davidson and sisters and Lille Swim
went 10 see the procession and hear the
music, under the cGnUds Mrs Hill went
to see the circus. Willard will give
Bonds that he and his ladies went down
to call on friends, and-all went to the
show. A. B. Tressler and Andy HInch-
man went to see the show-didn't have
any other business. l went becauseEI
had SeOmp" and wanted to be there,
and believe u good show is agoOd thing,
and if there were twenty little Kenos l
would send them all.
