hoolnson's circus, The parade was one
OF the finest that ever passed through
our streets. This is the 18th consecu-
tive season that John Robinson has
amused and entertained the public. 1t
! was an immense affair, requiring 40
cars IN all to carry animals, parapherna-
liza, etc. In the procession no two
wagons were alike. The menagerie
was complete, collection of wild AMI
mails such as seldom seen with circus
There were about 100 horses. The
spectacular representation of King
Solomon's court was full OF interest.
Over one hundred musicians; dancers
and warriors took part, giving an ORR
entail splendor under calcium lights
very attractive. The six elephants
performed many wonderful feats, and
the we'll trained pigs were amusing.
The trapeze and acrobat performers
were extra good, while the funny
clowns gave humor and enjoyment to
the vast crowds that attended afternoon
and might. Notwithstanding the big
crowd, there was good order and the
marshals and extra police had nothing
to do, 1t shows what prohibition will
do, If barrooms had been in existence
here, we would have had vastideal of
drunkenness, fights and arrests, Some
of the showmen said they hadn't struck
a town where they had such perfect or
der as was observable here.
The Atlanta Journal is making up
money to build monument to the late
lamented President Mckinley Won't
the Journal also help the ladies of Ma
rletta to raise money to put our Con-
federate cemetery in decent condition,
headstones to their graves? Do we not
owe something to our Southern dead?
The war has been ended over thirty
years and these graves have been neg
lected save what our ladies have done,
There is no government to build
monuments and keep up our Confeder-
ate cemetery. Where is the boosted
Southern chivalry, devotion and patri-
otism? Does not charity begin at
home? Come now, Mr.. Atlanta Jour-
nal and Constitution and help raise this
much needed fund for our Southern
heroes.
| The United Daughters of the Confed-
eracy announce their intention to have

yelled in 1903. The organization now
has $685. 900 of the fund required, and
purposes to raise $40, 900 more.
Rev. Sam Small delivered speech
on State prohibition, in the courthouse
on last Friday evening to large audi
ence. Mr.. Small is a fine orator and
made fine speech. He thought local
option had reached its limit and that
to effectually close out the barrooms in
the wet counties, it was necessary to
have State prohibition, and to this end
it was necessary to elect men to the
general assembly who would carry out
the wishes of the people.
! FAIR NOTIoE.-Parties intending to
give anything for the county exhibit at
the Atlanta Fair, will please notify Mr.
Gid Morris or myself no later that the
28th inst, as we are getting so many
things that, although the amount of
space has been increased to 1000 square
feet, we won't have room to put much
more. John A. Manget.
