Wednesday morning on its three
81 ecial trains of seventy-four cars,
ana crowd was on hand to greet IL
and watch the interesting spectacle
of unloading it.
The Parade.
At early morning the crowd began
to arrive on trains, wagons, and by
every other means of lOcomotiOn,
and soon the streets were filed with
a surging crowd to witness the man
mouth street parade. Several extra
trains were run from Mt. Pleasant
and other points on the NJ, F. u s.,
and trains on the other roads were
filled to over1owing. The aged and
young, the rich and poor, the white
and black-all were here to see the
show aud have day of thorough en-
joyment.
Man, woman, boy and girl to-
gether thrilled at the magnlficence
of the parade. There were bands
and music of all kinds, from drum
corps to the "steam fiddle" as a
colored boy termed the time-hOnored
calliOpe. There were armOred
knights. mounted on thorOuehbreGs !;
fair equestriennes and jockeys on
sleek aud spirited steeds, and right
here it will not be amiss to say that
the display of horsetlesh has never
been excelled or even equaled in
this city. The horses were all in
good condition and seemed fully in
spirit with the occasion, nOtwith-
standing that every day is circus
day with them.
There was herd of elephant
not merely two or three, but u
"herd"-scores of palatal animal
dens, hundreds of attendants in
resplendent dress, and all the other
things which go to make up a first
class parade.
The Performance.
But all of this was merely a
promise of what would be seen at
the show grounds Wedne day after
noon and evening. The perform
ances were attended by vast audi
ences, numbering thousands, and all
seemed delighted with the panorama
of acts devised for their entertain
ment While in general appearance,
circus will always be a circus and
must necessarily live out some of the
time honored circus features, yet
this show has introduced many new
acts in the nature of novelties tina,
are at once pleasing to all. Fol
instance, a troupe of sea lions and
seals give an exhibition that il
! simply marvellous. They sing songs
play musical instruments, fire guns,
juggle fire batons, and do many

LaGuardo, Tenn.

On the 1Oth inst, my niece, Susie
Elder, was thrown from a vehicle and
sustained injuries that caused almost
total paralysis of the right hand and
arm, and only slightly less of the left
hand and arm, thirty-six hours after be-
ing hurt. Her suffering was 50 great
and her condition seemed so critical
that DR.. Brown Goodwin, d. o., was
called and found the trouble was caused
by dislocation in the spinal column.
This he soon corrected, and in less than
an hour he had her free from pain, and
80 she could use her hands and arms
freely without pain. She had been un
able to raise her right arm for twenty
four hours, and had had no sensation of
feeling in the hands for two or three
hours before he came. She has i'm
proved steadily ever since, and seems to
be entirely relieved of the trouble.

 "I sold some old suction hose that was not of any service, for which I got 8. To get rid of them, the firemen had burned some of them. For the last fourteen years the fremen have been selling these old things.
 'I bought a SOW and four or five pigs from T. c. Mcdonald and put them at the Southside department They were fed slops. l never fed them at all. I had boy there who fed them. l bought corn for them several times and occasionally when buying for the city I would get mill sweep ings for the hogs.
 q bought an old frame house from MT Fox which stood where his store now is, and had it hauled to the Southside depart ment. l had two negroes build servant house at the back of my residence, and while it was being built I sent my COW, which had been in the back yard over to the department yard. She was there about two or three weeks. On one occasion heard one of the fremen say the boy had fed some hay to the COW, and l told him never to do it again.
 Some Of the firemen did some extra work around the department for which gave them two or three extra days and they may have done some work on the house during this time Mir McLemore told me if 1 would get some paint he would paint my house, and I thought it was a pretty good proposition. He lost no time from his duties while painting the house. 1 let him go to Opelika and did not dock him for the time he WAS gone. 1 did not allow him the time in consideration of the work he had done on my house.
 Tn 1897 I told Mayor Evans that I wanted to build stable in my yard in which to keep the horse and buggy, and that 1 could use some lumber that was at the Southsde department. I also told him it would cost nothing to build it as 1 had some men who would be willing and glad to do the work. He said it was al right and told be to go ahead and build it. By keep ing the horse there I was enabled to get to fires quicker Later an addition was built to the stable. l never used a piece of city lumber in my yard fence.
 Some of the firemen carried some lum- Der to my residence across the street from the Southside department to put over a cistern while it was being blasted out. I was not present at the time. It was taken back to the department and there used.
 Other Matters
 'The fence at my present residence was built before the stable.

The theatre going people of this city have often seen Mir Davis at the several play-houses here as leading man for Phil Peters, Charles Cogh- Ian and Frohman's Lady Ursula Co.," His initial performance was marked with the firmness of the accomplished man, as we'll as an experienced actor of magnetic pres- ence and vibrant voice.
