 May be you don't know Punch" Wheeler? If you don't you have little information on the show business.
 Punch" Wheeler Is one of the old est men in the business department of circuses and travelling theatrical pro- auctions in this country. He Is now the personal representative of Lew Dockstader, the minstrel man.
 T haven't been in Montgomery be- fore in about twelve years" said Mir, Wheeler 'I think I was the advance man of Lights O London" the last time I was here. Since you have got ten rid of the old fish market around on Monroe Street, and have paved your streets, Montgomery is certainly talk ing on a city look. It's one of the oleane and best appearing little cities have visited this year, and I've been to lots of 'em.
 In recent years Mir Wheeler has con fined his operations to New York city. He Is getting old and Mir. Dockstader is his warm friend. He says 1t does him good to go over the Southern cir cult again and meet his old-time friends although he finds that many of them have passed away.

Two Great Conventions,


 T was impressed greatly said a business man, with the earnestness of purpose and the apparent sincerity of the men who gathered in Montgomery this week to attend the convention of the horticulturists and the cane grow CTS.
 The proceedings of these two con- ventions, as published by The Adver- tiser. were read with profound inter- est by every man who keeps up with what is going on towards the material advancement of our State. l believe these two conventions will result in great good and give an impetus to the movement to diversity the crops of the South.
 'The way that Montgomery took care of the delegates, I am sure, won their admiration.
