When the tongue of trade is coated,
when the eyes and limbs Of the clerk are
dull and languid, when the raging fever

French & Co. s circus was in Keno
sha on Monday, the 10Th, and gave two
very creditable performances. They car
ry very fair array of animals in their
menagerie, but their circus was good.
The trapeze work and the rubber mans
contortions We're especially good. No bet

performances at the top of the balanced
poles and wire walking were also good.
| Their tents were packed at both perform
ances, but if they come again they will
need larger ones to hold the audiences.

! The programme, as given in the TELE-
GRAPH COURIER of last week, was carried
out fully The stage was decorated very
tastefully with flowers and mottos. The
exercises presented a pleasing variation
from the usual style Of graduating essays
and orations. Charley Yule made the

showing the different parts of the eye and
explaining various optical matters. Mrs
Emma Farr then sang a beautiful vocal
selection. Louis M. Ward then took up
| ''The Southern Question" and urged that
the negro be given his full civil, social
and political rights in the South. He

clearly, concisely and thoughtfully and
his delivery was very good. Harry
Plummer,s exercise was an essay, with
''The Cooper Union" as his theme, and it
was very interesting essay. Miss Alice
Kearns' essay, "reminiscences of the
High School," came next and was very
