A NEW CIRCUS FOR US.

For the first time in it's histo- ry, the Great Wallace Show will visit Monticello this season.
 The date is Thursday, Nov. 19
 This is about the only protni- nent city in the country that the Wallace circus has not visited duringi its seventeen annual tours of the country. For some reas- on or other We have not been on Wallace's map.
 The Geeat Wallace Show is in the very front rank of tented shows, and it's splendor and magnitude upon its coming visit will be all agreeable revelation to those of our citizens who are not versed in the show business. The Wallace circus IS a fine show, big one, and it IS almost safe to say It IS the most popular ana up to date circus on the road to- day. It has a large menagerie and museum, including some un- usual features, and in it's circus proper there are from five to eight acts at one time on the stage and in the three rings.
 After the Great Wallace Shows exhibition here on Thursday, Nov. 19, when we will become well acquainted with the Wal lace aggregation and 1t with our city. it is safe to say that each will become popular with the other and that the Wallace cir GUS will always be sure of large crowds whenever 1t visits here
