The crowd in town on Saturday was
the largest seen here in many day.
About noon, it was almost impossible
to walk along the sidewalks on Main
Street. The day was a good one for
our merchants, some of them saying
that trade was as good as on Christmas
eve. The crowd was very orderly
one, and no unpleasant incidents occur
red. Of course there were few ar
rests made as usual on such days.
The furniture and fixtures for the
new savings bank will soon arrive and
be in position. Mr.. Kicker said this
morning the bills of lading had been
received and he hoped to have the
bank fitted up very shortly. In the
meantime, the bank is carving on its
regular business which is very good
for the short time the bank has been
established.
The show windows on Main street
are quite lastly decorated this week
with the various wares the merchants
have for sale It is said that goods
we'll displayed are half sold, and if
such be the case, cur merchants
should have no trouble in disposing
of some of their goods. The dressing
of show windows is an art, and when
well done adds much to the attractive
ness of business street.
The member of the county board of
control from whom information was
obtained in reference to the application
for tourist hotel privilege by one
of the hotels, inadvertently made mis-
take in the facts. The Hotel Sumter
did not make an application, while the
Nixon House did. The mistake was
due merely to a slip of the tongue. 1t
is said today that petition will be
presented to the next meeting of the
board asking that the action at the
meeting on Monday be reconsidered
and that the state board be requested
to grant the desired permit. There is
no probability of the petition being
granted, however, as the board is said
to be opposed to granting privileges

iment among this seasons special
features are the greyhound tandem
races; the five pony tandem races;
chariot races; the wonderful perform
ance Of the smallest elephants in the
world. This is beyond doubt the
most marvellous elephant act ever In
troduced into tented amusements;
Alexas, the only framed African zebra
in the world. the wonderful perform
ances and acts of the seventy beauti-
full shetland ponies, and the new and
novel department. This is an act that
you never saw before. 1t is absolutely
new. A monkey, even in his native
unframed state is a well-.pring Of fun
to every man, woman and child. How
much more so then. by the cunning
aid Of man, they are taught to per-
form acts that are ludicrous in the ex-
IRENE and tricks and antics whose
provocation to laughter is irresistible.
For comicality and diversity Of absurd
tricks the multitude Of monkeys with
the Norris & Rowe's shows are beyond
the power Of language to describe.
