Fursman 4 Co.'S Great Allied Shows.

The popular cry of low prices is answered
by the celebrated show, with the above title,
which is to exhibit at IrOnton, Thursday,
April 30th. This show, while it has greatly
augmented its attractions, has reduced its
admission price to twenty-five cents, and. as
it is the first big show to make this reduction
its patronage will only be limited by the ca
pacity of its canvasses. But Fursman & Co.,
have not only made this reduction, but they
have greatly added to their already large
show, and have engaged such notable per-
formers as the D'Alma Family, Millie Toina,
the celebrated high-wire artistic and running
globe performer, MILE Madelaine, the orient
al juggler, and Mile Georgia, the female
Sampson. They have also combined with
their other exhibitions an extensive Museum
Of living curiosities, many Of them never be-
fore exhibited.

Ed. Register-Being in Ironton visiting

termediate and Principals classes of Prof.
Scott's school. Having spent great por-
ton of my time in the schoolroom, l feel an
interest in Literary advancement, and must
say for the Ironton school that l consider
that both teachers and pupils acquitted them
selves in a laudable manner. My acquaint-
ance with Mr.. Scott is quite limited, but my
idea is that he is the right man and in the
right place, with good corps of teachers.

ives. Virginia at The new orisaa. wsfld,l


Col. Phil. Pendleton, the Commissioner
for West Virginia atthe Worlds Fair and
Cotton Exposition, at New Orleans, has
written letter to 9 friend here, in which
he urges the necessity Of the Legislature
providing for the expense OF the repre-
sentation Of this State there. He says:
tUnless the Legislature makes an appro-
priation to meet the expenses here now,
as well as those hereafter to be incurred
in the event that the Exposition lasts
over another year, which Is now almost
certain, / shall be obliged TO abandon the
matter and return home. This would be
q most notifying thing, and do vast in
Jury to the State. There Is not another
State that has had so little money, for all
this work and tho expenses incident TO 1t,
as the State OF West Virginia. The 700
upon which the work has been done so
far was contributed by the Exposition
not q dollar has come from the State.
1If the Exposition is continued over
next wintsr It will require at least $l2, 900
to enable me to keep up with the other
States. They will all enlarge their exhib-
its. Some OF the Commissioners have re-
turned to their States to attend to getting
increased appropriations. Pennsylvania
has lust passed one, on the very first day,
| / believe, OF It's meeting, Of $4,000, to
meet the costs up TO the first OF June.
Her Legislature, unlike ours, meets every
wear, and here comes in the necessity for
making an appropriation sufficient TO
carry over to June, 1885. l have not yet
