THERE seems to be a general break in the
city markets; wheat has fallen and 10 cts.
per bushel, corn or 4 cts. and produce is
also quoted as in sympathy with the gem
eral decline. A speculative tendency has
had more to do with forcing up prices
than small supplies.

SHows.-The past week has been pro-
litc OF entertainments: among them was
the tent and gorgeous paintings showing
the big snake, the little man, woman
without legs, and the educated pig-all
Tor ten cents. But somehow it did not
astonlsh the natives" and at the end
OF week the proprietor felt indignant
that town the size of Smyrna did not
yield him as much revenue as the villages
OF Blackbird or Townsend did in one dav.
Every night he ground out from his hand
organ
Where, Oh! where is my little dog gone,
On! where Oh where can he be;
W TN MS tail cut short and his ears cut long
On! where Oh! where is he"
and various other patriotic and sentiment
tai tunes, but somehow only few curious
boys and girls were persuaded to enter
the mystic enclosure. At the end of n
week, on Monday, he struck his tent for
Lelpsic, where he expected to find a more
appreciative people.
IHE entertainment given at the Town
Hall on Saturday evening by the Hyer
Sisters Combination was universally pro
nounced one of the best ever given in the
Hall by any travelling company. The
troup numbering sixteen persons includ-
ing the orchestra, showed superior merit
In everything undertaken. The chief at
traction was in the singing, but in the
dramatic representation Of "Out.of Bond
age, or before and after the war; there
was enough of absurdities and stage
comlcalities picturing the true life of the
negro on the cotton plantations and merr-
ing INTO freedom to amuse intensely. The
singing of the Misses Hyers and the
defamation of Miss May Reynolds showed
a culture Of very high order. The i'm
preston made was so favorable that under
a pressure for another presentation in our
town, by an arrangement made with
several OF our citizens they will be here
again on this night week, "Wednesday.
when they will no doubt be greeted with
a crowded house.
