Mt. Vernon and the Circus.

Where fow people are gathered to-
gether it is more than probable that the
|. j. man will be there or thereabout.
On Wednesday Sells & Renfrox's Enor-
nous Railroad Shows exhibited at Mt.
Vernon and a crowd OF course was there
TO |. j. man was there also. People who
have the opportunity Of going to circus.
es as seldom as the Rockcastleites do are
not supposed to have much business in
their heads when the band begins to
play and the monkey and clown get in
their funny business, but notwithstand-
ing this, the tinerant newspaper man
got the attention of portion OF ire large
crowd, and besides adding a number of
new names to his list, was fortunate
enough to drop goodly number of
shekels into the |. j. Golfer. There is
not surrounding county that gives the
"0ld Reliable" better or more liberal
support than Rockcastle and it is need
less to say that it is duly appreciated.
The show was first rate and was at.
tended by nearly every man, woman and
child in the town and county. Most all
OF the features advertised were present
ed and il there was dissatisfaction OF any
kind did not hear OF it. The usual
''shel-game" and "three --card-monte"
man was there, but business was evi.
IDENTIFY dull for them. Francis Curtis
dropped twenty" with them and
squealed, but when an officer appeared
the 'shell-game man. was 'out OF sight"
Mr.. Curtis is man Of about so years,
but it seems that he has not had quite
enough experience yet. Perfect order
was observed during the entire day aud
it was one that will not soon be forgot
ten in MI. Vernon.
DIR. s. @. Davis, prominent republi-
can, who, after much persuasion, took
the INTERIOR when was there 6 months
ago, says that he would not now do
without it for ten times the price. "You
give it to us republicans pretty tough
sometimes" said he, "but have always
found that what you say is true. Send
the paper On and may be l will send
you name or two in a few days. /

ocracy does stick out even in the adver-
tisements."
The post-office here is being sought
for by Mrs. Cleo Brown, ]. l.. Brown
and Jonas Mckenzie. The latter are
both good democrats, while Mrs. Brown
comes from democratic family and is
the widow OF democrat who, during
his life, fought hard for the cause. Any
OF them would fill the office with much
credit.
A. Pennington, who has recently TAX
en- charge OF the Joplin Hotel, is pleas
ing the travelling public to a letter. A
good, clever man and right man for the
place is he.
Nobody enjoyed the circus more than
did genial James Maret, who, by the
way, is our splendid correspondent at
Mt. Vernon. He took in the thing from
beginning to end and was very melan-
cboly, it is said, when he was informed
that there would be no night perform
ance.
Several new houses have gone up here
since l was in Mt. Vernon last and more
are spoken Of this spring. II the town
should, perchance, get hump on itself
and bloom out into future great, that

Mr.. f. b. Smith, who pilots the Signal,

not all, Of it. +. Q. w.

OF the company which is to give con-
cert at Walton's Orera House, May LIST:
The New York Stars gave the public a
magnificent concert. The violin was
played almost to perfection. The flute
was heard as it may seldom be heard in
Augusta; slso the cornet. A celebrated
pianist sat at the piano. An impersona-
tor, whose falsetto voice was a marvel,
and which stamped him as an artist OF
high merit, WAS seen and heard. The
vioinist, Miss Flora Drescher, pupil OF
Jacobson, played with wonderful power
and delighted her hearers, who gave her
three encores with every appearance on
alton. Seldom has such good, rich, re.
sonsnt violin playing been heard in Au-
gusta. Mr.. Dewey Heywood's flute had
almost kind OF witchery as he played
it. No lover OF the flute should have
missed him. Mr.. W. Scott Haywood
played mellow, rich cornet with ex-
quisite technique and decidedly pleas.
ing effect Mr.. Mills, the piano accomIa
mist, was one OF the best. Mrs Homer

tors upon the platform and his imper-
