The Art OF Advertising.

Coles Circus, billed for this place on
the 9th of August, has evidently made
the art of advertising an exhaustive
study. A complete system has been
adopted. Tuesday GRAPHIC reporter
visited and was shown through their
advertising car by their gentlemanly
agent, Mr. W. C. Boyd, and their meth
cd Of doing business explained. Their
plan is first to send ahead their gener-
al contractor with two assistants who
make all necessary preliminary ar
ran0ements, distribute programmes,
etc. Five days later comes the adver-
Using car number one, with press
agent. etc, and large force of bill
posters to bill the town and surround

number two, to complete all unfinished
business, post bills. and replace those
that may have been destroyed or defac-
ed. Six days later comes "Bugle

keep the great show fresh in the minds
OF the people, and then five days later
comes two more Programmes" with
new bills and announcements. The
daily expenses OF this great aggregation
is over three thousand dollars and for
bill posting alone one thousand pounds
of the very best flour is used.

1t is rumored that cholera has
reached London. If such should be
the case this country will probably be
reached before cold weather. A strict
quarantine ought to be established at
once.
$50 far, the authorities in St.
Louis have failed to even attempt to
enforce the Sunday features of the new
Downing law which went into opera
ton on the first of July. The obser-
vance of the Sabbath is so novel and
foreign to the thoughts, habits, and
customs of the St. Louis man, that he
requires time to post himself before at
tempting it.
Mormon missionaries are caus-
ing lots of trouble in some of the rural
regions Of the south. and in some dis
tricts a shot gun Quarantine" has
been established, while in others threats

(GRApHIc Correspondence
DEAR GRApH1c:-After an absence Of
six weeks, l find myself once more in
old Clay and quite a bundle of old
GRAPHIcs awaiting my return. The
new story is splendid.
There is NOT much news to report
this week. The Doctor promised that
he would send all items of interest to
the GRAPHIC in my absence, but | am
rather inclined to think that his fre-
quent visits west have occupied about
all of his spare time.
The crops are very flattering at the
present. II il continues seasonable
there will be an abundance of corn
raised this year.
Oats are very fine. The hay harvest
will be good.
Can some one tell us what has be-
come OF Buffalo Bill.
We promised the readers Of the
GRAPHIC that on our return we would
give them the particulars of our trip.
On July the 1st we chartered the hand
some and magnificent steamer, Maggie
Harper, for an excursion up Salt river
On the 4th of July, according to adver-
tisment, we hoisted anchor at Rlgdon's S
Landing and glided smoothly over the
bosom Of the placid waters of the beau
tiful river, but owing to the low
bridges, we did not make much head
way until we passed point lookout.
There all on board thought that the
trip would be made without further
trouble. But, alas. Our good boat
struck a sawyer which disabled her for
the trip, leaving US not far from the
city of Greentop. We managed to
reach that city in time for the north
bound tram.
The accommodating ticket agent
sold us tickets at halt rates and assured
our party that we should have first
class coach. We did not have to wait
long, the iron horse snorted and in a
few minutes the train was at stand
still. then such rush for seats never
saw before. We were not many hours
IN finding ourselves IN the beautiful
state Of Iowa, where you could see vast
fields OF golden grain swaying to and
and fro to gentle breezes. Our pen
cannot do justice to the beautiful land
scape that were visible to ou: sight.
After twenty-fcur hours of travel by
rail we found the entire party of ex-
cursionists anxious for rest, but we
were informed by the conductor that
we was now IN Dakota, the train pulled
up to long platform and the brakes
man shouted out Greencastle. This
was our destination. To be confined
IN next week. ROSE BUD.

What They Did and saw on the
Fourth Of July.

Minneapolis Tribune, July 5, 1881
Never in the history of Minneapolis
has any amusement enterprise enter
tanned so great number of visitors as
yesterday attended w. w. Coles most
excellent circus. State fairs, civic hol-
idays and military reunions have fire.
quently called forth vast gatherings,
but the attractions presented by Coles
circus surpassed all previous efforts in
exciting the curiosity of the commune
ty. The management advertised three
performances, but the crowd was so
great at the first two exhibitions it was
found necessary to give third per.
formance at four O'Clock In order TO
accomodate the thousands who were
unable to get even standing room at
the first performances. At night the
great tents were packed from center to
circumference and a perfect sea of up
turned faces witnessed the fourth per-
formance, while several thousand were
turned from the doors. Many late
comers-of course with girls on their
arms-ofered sums ranging from two
to five dollars for admission. 1t is es-
timated that full IL, 900 people were
in attendance at the night exhibition
and 40 900 tickets were sold during the
day. No show that ever visited Min
neapol:s has been patronized so we'll as
this. In point of novelty, variety and
supreme perfection it has no worthy
rival and certainly no equal; hence it
is easy to account for the unusual in
terest made manifest by the public.
The exhibition, throughout, is far the
superior of any show ever seen in the
city. The acts IN mid-air are phenom-
enal and soul stirring, especially SO the
performance of little Alma, the "human
fly" who walks head downward upon
suspended ceiling, with perfect ease
and assurance. The serial bicycle act
and the leaps and fllghtsof Nestor and
Venoa are equally sensational and full
of reckless situations. The perform
ing Arabs, OF whom so much has been
said and written. fulfilled the man
ayers promise. The riding Of James
Robinson, the leaps of Frank Gardner
and his corps of fathletcs, the perform.
ing elephants and horses, the roller
skating and bicycle experts on the
elevated stage were interesting features
of this mammoth show. In the menag-
erie are gathered many curious things
heretofore unseen-a baby camel, a
baby kangaroo which had as yet never
ventured to leave the pouch in its
mothers breast, white peacocks, polar
bears, and greater than all was the g.
gaEhc elephant, Samson, whose re
mendous size has made him the theme
of spirited contention,

There has been great change for
the better in corn in the past two
weeks. On rolling or high ground it
Is doing well and looks thrifty.
The potato crop is good, and there is
now an abundance of the earlier kinds
ready for use. This is the first time
for many years that no bugs have at
tackled the vines. Had you noticed
the fact?

The wife of Geo. Conkle, one of the
old settlers OF east Salt river, died very
suddenly last Wednesday, llth, of Chol-
era Morbus. She attended the celebra-
ton on the 4th at Brashear, IN her US
ual health. On the following Sunday
she visited one of her sons, but COM
planned of not feeling well, and while
there grew rapidly worse, so that it
was with fficulty she reached home.
Mr.. Church, one of the carpenters
who was building school house for
district number 2, fell from the build
ing and fractured two or three of his
ribs, besides sustaining other injuries.
This is the third time Mr.. Church has
been laid up from cuts and bruises,
within year. We hope he will soon
be able for business again.

tive feature of the town. =
The trade of Brashear, We lean, is
gradually widening Its territory north,
south and east.
The town contributed largely toward
building the raised-road~ay across
Salt river bottom, and We are glad TO
learn that their liberality and enterprise
is being rewarded by large trade from
as far south as the i'm mediate neigh.
borhood of LaPlata. in Macon county.
OF the trade Of Brashear we are not
prepared at this time to give statistics,
leaving that for some future letter from
our reporter at that place.
However, as an indication Of its ex.
ten. we will mention one article,alone,
as reported by single firm. Mr.. ].
NJ. McCreery handled IN the last year
over twelve hundred dollars worth Of
eggs, or eleven thousand dozen.
The population Of Brashear has
nearly doubled in the past two years
and is now estimated to be four hun.

In this enumeration Of the business
houses Of Brashcar, five have omitted

of the information was gathered hastl.

rwo.LEccED Pests.

Ed. CRApHlc.-I wish to call the
attention of the farmers ofAdair coun-
ty to what seems to be growing evil
which is often the cause of the loss to
them of many hard earned dollars. 1
speak OF the farmers in particular, as
they seem to be considered the legiti-
mate prey of sharpers and scoundrels
of all classes who expect to earn their
bread and butter any other way than
BY hard work. There is a long array
of these sharpers that might be mem
toned all the way down from Fund
W." swindle in Chicago to the miser-
able pedilers of soap receipts and
vendors OF brass jewelry. The time
of the year has now arrived that we
may expect to be visited by countless
numbers of these fellows who will claim
to be working to the interest of the
farmers, all eager to sell some new in
vention or offer some unhea.d of farm
machinery which will lay all others in
the shade for which they ask fabulous
prices and which when tried are often
found to be utterly worthless except to
stand in some fence corner for hen
roosts. The habits of chinch bugs
and wire worms are well known and
this. knowledge often enables the farm
er to combat this pest with at least
partial success. But not so with these
swlndlers forno sooner does one scheme
to extort money from the farmers fail,
than another is tried and when they are
found out one place they go TO anoth-
er, and thousands of dollars are annually
gouged out of the unwary in this way.
1t is firmly believed by some farm.
ers that more money is lost in this way
than there is by all the noxious insects
on the farm. There is but enc or two
ways cut of this difficulty, that lnow.
The first is to buy nothing but well
known articles, which we may need, of
well known and reliable men, and when
these smooth tongued gentry come
around say, ''no'' at once. In most
cases this is all that will be necessary to
nd ourselves of these leeches. But
there are exceptions to all rules and
so there may be in this. Occasionally
there will be one of the fellows who
made desperate by the confnements
and privations of a long winter and the
present dull times will not take no
for an answer and will refuse to leave
the field. In case of this kind it
would be we'll for the intended victim
to be provided with a dog, with well
known weakness for calves incased IN
patent leather, and a shot gun that is
good shooter, and then act promptly
and at once. Tell him to git and then
if he don't 60 try the dog, if that don't
work use the gun at short range and
my word for it he will leave and never
return, and you will never have cause to
regret that he did 60. This remedy
we assure our readers will work when
all others fail. But ALWAYS act prompt.
ly and at once. Don't allow him time
to talk or all will be lost, and another
victim will be heard to cry swindled,
and the swindler go on his way rejoinc-
ing with another scalp in his belt.
