The members of Wallace & Co.'S circus
are models OF propriety in their deport-
mcnt. The company arrived in this city
on Sunday morning and all day long
they were about the city, quiet and Or
derby, free fl ON any vulgar desire to at
tract attention and in every particular
acQuitting themselves in the most gen.
tlcmanly manner. The city was as quiet
us though circus was not within a
hundred miles oft. This gratifying fact
was widely commented upon.
The state board of health telegraphed

brought into that country by an immi-

ported to the state board. DR.. Hewitt, the
state secretary, visited GAINESVILLE on
Friday to give the matter his personal
attention.

buttons, collar buttons, earrings and
even little Goldies' money box contain
ing some silver pennies. The watch and
jewellery vas especially priced as presents
from friends and relatives. Vernon Bur-
CESS was working in the field and seeing
them leave the house FASTENED to investi-
gate matters and seeing what they had
had done mounted a horse and started
in pursuit. He was joined on the way
by Mr.. Stiles and the tramps were over
hauled about three miles northwest of Mr.
Loves, but they had evidently hidden
the articles, for although a thorough
search OF they persons was made they
were not found.
MORE THAN WAS PROMIsED-Wallace
& Co. gave this city an excellent circus
entertainment on Monday last, and the
exhibition was especially gratifying
from the fact that the company more
than fulfilled expectations. The parade
in the morning was one Of the finest, if
not superior, to any ever witnessed here
before. Two features in particular ex-
cited most favorable comment-the
splendid display of horse flesh, the equal
OF which was never before witnessed
here, and the excellent music furnished
by three separate and independent
bands. The horses were indeed beauti-
full both those used for the rougher work
of hauling the vehicles in the parade, and
the ring horses. They were as fat as
seals, showed the best of care and groom
ing, and alone were we'll worth seeing.
The thoroughbreds used in the ring were
as beautiful as one could immagine ty-
