The Great Wallace Shows have
come and gone and left n favorable
impression upon the people e Maury
County. Wednesday was the day
for the exhibition at this place, and
such a crowd as usually comes to
big crcuses was in town. The show
fulfilled all its promises made in ad-
vertisements, and to say that all
who attended were pleased would
but do simple Justice to the show.
Probably the best feature of the
whole performance was the acr obatic
feats of the wonderful Nelson fam
lily, although the trapeze performers,
bicycle riders and other features
were good. Other towns need not
fear this show coming into their
midst on account of the yellow
fever, as they have been exhibiting
in Ohio and Pennsylvania, and Co.
lumbia is the most southerly point
they have touched.
