FoREPAUGH & SAMwELL's Carnival
of Novelties and Trained Animal Show
combined under Mammoth Tent
will exhibit in GAINESVILLE on Monday
and Tuesday, November LIST and End.
This show comes to US with the best
recommendation of the press and the
people who have attended the perfor-
mances. Their entertainments are
pleasing and very attractive in every
particular and will doubtless receive a
liberal patronage from our people. In
attestation of the merits Of this compa-
ny we reproduce the following from the

A very successful two weeks engage
ment of the Forepaugh & Samwell car
nival OF novelties and trained animals
has just closed. This show came to us
heralded as carnival, but our citizens
had no idea of the real value Of the en-
tertainment until their first visit, end
then, upon every occasion, they would
be found making their way toward the
tent. At every performance Mile.

ing and graceful act ON the single tel
egraph wire stretched across the inn
mense tent. Her equilibrium is per-
feet, and to see her walk through the
air With perfect ease, lay down, walk
blindfolded, wheel a wheelbarrow and
ride bicycle over the wire caused re-
peated applause. Mile lola is a per-
iectly formed beauty and was the envy
of the ladies. Prof. Samwell's trained
ponies, dogs and goats are well worth
five times the price OF admission. Ey'
cry act within the circle or stage is real
ly meritorious. The entire show il

Miss DRoMGooLE's new book, "Sunny
Side OF the Cumberland" will create a
sensatson among the reading public.
The press of Tennessee feels a just pride
in the success OF one whose work is
spoken OF by competent critic as one
OF the best of recent additions to South
ern literature.
The American, in critical review OF
the book, says of the young authoress {:
Miss Will Allen Dromgoole is we'll
known to Tennesseans. Her spicy and
attractive letters from the mountains
have been read with more than passing
interest by the readers OF The American
and of the papers into which have been
copied many of the pathetic, amusing
or descriptive passages. The announce
ment that she was engaged on book
was received with interest, and much
curiosity has been manifested to see it.
1.-THE Sunny Side of the Cumberland"
was an attractive title, and all who Will
Allen or had read her letters awaited
the book impatiently. An advance
copy has been laid on The Americans
table and has been critically examined.
The writer of this notice has believed
in Miss Dromgoole's success from the
first, and yet as he read the book and
gathered IN the amount of labor spent
on it, how we'll and faithfully it had
been done, he was surprised. The book
is absolutely new in theme and original
in treatment.
