ous habits and unmarried. lie lives

He came to the city the first of last

the capital prize and several parties
who knew of his good luck, went 10

to buy his ticket, but he "smelled a
mouse" and held on TO ii. We are
glad that our capital prize fell into
such worthy and appreciative hands.
S. II. Barrett & Cos circus gave
two performances in the city last
Thursday TO packed tents. The lar

noted for its length, but there were
no especially attractive features. The
performance was pretty fair enter

Gus and when you have seen one you
nave seen all. This one differed from
most Of them in the politeness of its
managers and agents and in the ex-
cellent order maintained. II had the
usual side shows and concert. In
The latter a LOT of silverware was CIV

lottery, though the explanations were
rather vague. The show made mon.

with due observance of all the usu
al conventionalities. They wanted
to play u joke on the old folks anC
their friends, they said. They lief
home to go to the Hopkinsville fail
and didn't intend to make it known
ON their return that they had beer
doing anything more than guilelessl,
