The Zig Show of the Sells
Brothers,

This splendid, popular and most hon
orably conducted Menagerie, Circus.
Caravan and Museum, rumors of whose
coming have already created much COM
ment, is, at last, positively announced
to give afternoon and evening entertain
ments in Aberdeen, November 18th.
This stupendous combination of leading
Railroad Shows is meeting, this season,
with patronage so extraordinary that the
management have been frequently com
PEELED to give three exhibitions day, in
order to accommodate the immense
crowds in attendance, Excursions are
arranged on the different railroads, from
all points within a radius of fifty miles
from the place of exhibition, and the in
stances are rare when the trains do not
come in crowded to their capacity with
visitors. Their tents, although the great
est both in number and magnitude OF
any show travelling, are frequently found
inadequate to hold the people. and, in
order to give the varied programme in
detail, and without emitting any of its
features, the Management find their
many acres OF canvas TO be an absolute
necessity.
Hours can be spent probably passing
through this wilderness of tents over
flowing with the wonders of zoology, and
with the curiositles of science, art and
nature. These vast pavilions contain the
immense meDagerie of Gagged wild beasts,
catalogued in which are many that are
new to America, and none of which are
other than the rerest of specimens. Ar
aquarium, with Its huge tanks and re
servoirs of fresh and sea water, filled
with living Sea Lions, Sea Elephants
Sea Tigers, Hippopotami, etc. The
largest collection of living wonders evel
exhibited; museum Of animate and in
animate curiosities; an immense herd O
Elephants and Camels. including tn,
smallest full. grown elephant ever known
and which is not one half tho size of tn,
ordinary elephant newly born. In thi
tent are, also, pair of Woody Elephant
from the Malayan Archipelago, the onl.
ones ever imported. In addition to whicl
another mammoth pavilion is devoted t.
the grand Circus and Hippodrome, il
which the most brilliant eeuestrians
gymnasts and athletes of the day will vi
for the mastery.

Having heard some complaint in re
gard to parties being unable to pay their
taxes with jury and witness certificates
drawn at the current term of the Cir
cult Court, since the first of October,
this reporter repaired to the Court
House for an investigation of the mat
ter, with the result that the correspon-
dence below will show. 1t is proper
here to say that the fiscal year ends on
the first of October and certificates, in
former years, issued after that date have
not been receivable for taxes until the
following year, or, in other words, in
the fiscal year 10 which they belonged,
but as it is quite probable that there
will be surplus in the County Treasu-
ry after the collection of taxes for 1888,
there is no reason why they should not
be received now, and the matter is so
regarded by the Tax Collector and Coun>
ty Trersurer. This will probably inter
fere to some extent with parties who
may have contemplated nice little
speculation in that character of script:

ideas of the obligations of the lawyer,
and the finest conceptions as TO the pro-
prieties of his conduct. He was not sat
tsiied with The mere victory of a trial, but
loving the law for truth itself he sought
TO thread its darkest labyrinths.
His character is not less to be admired
/ in its moral aspect. He was man Of
large and refined sensibilities. From the
diguified and calm reserve with which
/ he habItually bore himself the observer
1 would have pronounced him apparently
apathetic, yet there weled within his
heart feelings as gentle. as warm and
| pure as ever nestled in wOman's bosom;
at the same time he was Possessed of
susceptibilitieso OF emotions of such power
as heroes alone can feel or know. He
was fond of his fellow-meS. He often
sought occasion to miugie with the good
| yeomenry of the country; he admired
them in their simplicity and purity of
character, while engaged in their indus
trial pursuits unrestraiued by the con-
ventionalties of fashionable life. But
| tnat characteristic winch contributed
most largely to his eminent success in
| life was his uuremittiug energy:
He waited for no favorable tide of ad-
ventiiious circumstances TO watt him TO
fame and fortune. Entering life as Il
merchants clerk, in few years, by his
sobrlety, integrity and industry, he was
enabled to accumulate the means with
which he prepared himself for admission
! to the Bar, in North Alabama. He, very
soon after, removed to this State, whrrc
he at once rose to prominence in his pro-
| fessioH among competitors, many OF
Whose names, like his, now adorn the
historic page of our country. In what
ever field of labor, whether IN the halls
of legislation, at the Bar. the Bench, or on
the battle ground this man was called to
duty, he achieved signal success. And,
while to-day. we eutwine garlauds in re-
c0gution of his noble deeds and the
many virtues that adorned his character.
let ii be accounted rs his browning glory

From his life let us learn this moral
That fortune fayors him who dares to

The receipts of cotton in Aberdeen
since Sept. 1st, this season, have been
larger than in any year since the war.
The counties of Webster, Calhoun,
Chickasaw and Clay on the West, and
Lamar, Marion and Walker, in Ala
bama on the East, have been repre-
sented in our market this season, to
say nothing of those on the North and
South Of us. Our receipts to date are
already nearly half as great as they
were for the entire season of 1923
although only little more than two
months has passed. A good cotton
market and lively buyers are the kline
of incentives that attract the produ
GERS of the staple and purchasers o
supplies.

The following remarks were then made
Inv q I Ruphouau ESQ

The following remarks were then made
by G. j. Buchanan, Esq:
Mr.. CHAIRMAN beg to be permitted
ers, to the memory of our late distin
guished professional Brother. 1t has, ct
all periods of the world among enlight-
eued nations, been esteemed praiseworthy
as well as Statutory, for the living to hon
or the worthy dead; certainly no occasion
has ever occurred in the annals Of our
| community that more appropriately de
manded the plaudits of good men than
that of the present, while we consider
| the life and character of SAMUEL j.
| GHoLsON. He was OF the very best type
of man, and by the inherent forces Of his
| character he made for himself name
that deserves TO be transmitted to pos
| terity with the highest encomiums Of
praise. 1t is interesting as well ns i'll
structive to contemplate his character;
| he was possessed Of IL striking individual
| ity; intellectually he was literally
endowed; his mind was clear, vigorous
and comprehensive in its grasp. He took
hold of his subject in its obvious light,
and always endeavered to see and deal
with facts and principles just as they ex-
listed. The obstacles which he met in his
course, he sought not to avoid or remove
but to surmount. The same fair and
chivalrous spirit which characterized
him in martial combat animated him in
contest in the forum,
He was man decidedly positive in
his charact r, deliberate and cautious
yet dong nothing by halves. He had
two intellectual habits which must have
made him highly intelligent, interest
ing, aud useful man even without tn,
aid of books; these were his habits of OBJ
servation and reflection, His mental i'm
pressions were distinctive, which M
doubt contributed greatly TO the retsn
tiveness and accuracy ot the memor,
for which he was so well known by hi
associates at the bar. He was fond o
