SUN BROS SHOW.
Neat, Clean and Attractive-the Best
IS Cent Show Travelling.

The Wooster Republican saws this
of the Sun Bros. Show, which will be
in Henderson on Wednesday. Oct
18th:
To-day was Sun Bros. Circus day in
Wooster, and while the show had but
little reputation here, it drew a much
larger crowd to the city than was ex-
pected. The spread OF canvas is by long
odds the cieanest, neatest and prettiest
ever pitched on the fair ground. Every
thing about the outfit is new, and pros
porous air pervades everywhere. The
parade ct l O'Clock was creditable, the
bandwagon and animal cages, sub
stantial looking and attractive. while
the music by the band and the gaily-
caparisoned horses made very good
impression.
The performance given was as u whole
quite satisfactory and well worthy of
patronage. The strongest features on
the program were the four highly trained
stations; Juggling act Of Geo. and Gus
Sun was the best ever seen here. and
pleased the audience immensely; Mardo
Bros. in the posturing and acrobatic
tumbling are very clever; Ferris and
Treranion, aerial artists, made very
good impressions; besides some tumblirg
and a ladder act. The menagerie while
small, is attractive and clean. All in all,
the show is well worth the small admis-
sion fee charged.

Hear This Side.

A newspaper occupies two fold
position in a community, for it is
both a private and public enter
prise. Private, in that its income
goes to the support of individuals;
public, in that it stands forth as the
exponent of the people and voices
their needs, their achievements, the
daily happenings of their lives.
But some fall into the error of
thinking that paper is public prop
erty, because it closely touches the
public life, and only the editor knows
how often he meets this class, one of
the most difficult to handle and the
hardest to satisfy.
In NeWspaperdon,, an editor who has
built up one of the finest newspaper
businesses in North Carolina, has
an article on this subject. Speaking
of the difficulties that meet him in
his work he says:
"My greatest difficulty in journalism is
to make reople understand that news
paper is not public property, that it does
not belong to the public, but is q private
enterprise, under the control of it's owner
and manager. People insist on using the
columns of paper at their own will, and
are angry if they are refused admission
on their own terms. They dictate as they
would not think of doing to any other
business men. and cannot understand
that their demands should not be acceded
to regardless of the policy or the interests
of the paper in question '-Wilson Neus.

You'll Find 1t in This.

When people turn aside from the
ordinary duties of daily life to look
for recreation, they want some good,
pure, wholesome entertainment that
will not only rest their tired minds
and jaded spirits but amuse them as
we'll. This they will find in Wash
burns Combined Ministries, at Cooper
Opera House next Wednesday night.
With its superb organization Of peer
less comedians, high class specially
artists, coterie Of sweet singers, in
imitable dancers, augmented orches-
ira, magnificent stage setting and gor-
geous costumes, the great aggregation
of modern MINISTRIES forms in its en-
tirety the most expensive aud dis
tinguished array of foreign and
American minstrel talent and spec
tacular effects ever brought to this
city for the editication and amuse-
ment Of our funloving public. The
most positive assurance is given by
the management that nothing is said
or done to mar the most fastidious
person.

Court Week.

This is court week-the regular fall
term of Vance Superior Court. Judge
Hoke is presiding. That is to say
that the business of the court is being
dispatched in q business like manner.
There is no undue haste to be sure
but at the same time there is no I'M
necessary delay and drag in Judge
Hoke's court. His Honor's charge to
the grand jury was able and COM
prehensive, direct and clear cut as
all his deliverances are, and was a
subject of favorable comment. Judge
Hoke has presided at Vance Court be-
fore and he is no stranger here. And
speaking for the bar, court officers,
jurors and others who are brought
into contact with him the GOLD LEAF
expresses its pleasure at having him

the Superior Court bench than VIM.
