The Circus.

Wallace Brothers circus drew alarge
crowd to Denison last Thursday.
The performance was first class and
the parade one of the best ever seen in
Denison. The world of Graft" was
entirely too well represented, however,
and every kind of fake game was
running. The "sixty Cent? wagon
was running where fifty cent tickets.
were marked down to sixty cents and
we are sorry to say it did good busi-
ness.

good show was married by these obiec-

their people from being taken in by the
