The Southern Railway caused the
patrons of the line between this city
and Mobile quite a surprise yesterday.
The surprise was in the shape of two
real nice coaches being put on the aft
ernoon train which leaves here at 4:25
o'clock for the Gulf City. these coaches
will be used in the future on the after
noon train from here to Mobile, and on
the morning train out of Mobile to this
city.
In the past the coaches on this train
have been dirty and in need of paint.
but the new coaches are nicely uphols-
tered and have high back seats. The
interiors of them are handsomely paint
ed and have large mirrors. The out
side of the coaches are also nicely
painted and they are fresh from the
factory.
1t is stated that within the next few
days three other handsome day coaches
will be shipped from the snops of the
company at Knoxville, which will be
used on the local trains out of Selma.

The city marshal has been going
after the automobile drivers that OF
late have been showing symptoms OF
the speed malady and In nearly
every instance almost immediate re-
lief has resulted. Only few
minutes in police court are required
to drive away all desire for more
than ten or fifteen miles an hour.
In many cases a permanent cure has
resulted and the MARSHAL hopes that
by the time he has had every owner

Greeley last Thursday and was about
all there was to show for the visit
OF Colorado's millionaire senator
Mr.. Guggenheim came to Greeley
largely to look over the State Nor

ing it was to consult with President
Snyder about the donation Of a
building to the institution similar to
the one Mr.. Guggenhiem gave to the
School OF Mines a couple Of years
ago.
The senator spent a good share Of
the day in company with Fl. c.

real and most important developnei =
Of all will begin In this county
people here are slow to aoap.
themselves to the close and crowded
conditions of the east. Few men
here think that they can farm less
tba, l6o acres at profit, when as i
matter of fact they are only skim
ming the surface OF the possioliie'es
NJ the soil. They will gradually
find that they can to advantage cut
their 100 in two and still make Just
as much money. A little later the
eighties can be cut In two WIN
practically no decrease in the net
income and had they the patience TO
make farming or gardening really IN
tensiye they might still make an
other cut.
This is not theory but is what the
people of the old countries have peeh
doing for years and years. what
would a farmer here think II ne
should one season raise forty tons OF
sugar beets to the acre? That would
pretty near mean $50 an acre clear.
Yet, that is Just what they are doing
over across the pond and have been
doing it for years and the soil Is just
as good now as 1t was years ago.
But such crops cannot be raised on
big tracts under one mans manage'
ment. because he cannot look after
all of it properly.
Now just keep these things in
mind when anyone tells you that l6o
acres is the least man can farm
with profit here.

i've feet gap in that side of the

expected that this hole will! be closed

COURTESY SHOWN PATRONS
Manv Features of Exceptional Interest
and Much More to See Than the
Billboards and Parade Would
Indicate

OF the big Sells-Floto shows that
will exhibit at Greeley Wednesday
June 26, the press and public unite
in praise. No circus ever organized
has received so much laudatory news
naper criticism. The Butte, Mont
Daily Standard says:
The Sells-Floto show has come ana
yone. At both performances yester-
day there was a large crowd; IN 1act'
the large tents were comfortaoiy
filled and all present seemed to enjoy
the show, which is we'll worthy OF
the patronage of the public. Inc
Sells Floto circus and menagerie Is
remarkable for several features. 1t
has the best fed, best groomed ana
finest looking live stock OF any show
that has ever visited Montana. 1t
has we'll selected menagerie and
one of the best troops of performing
elephants living. In every depart
ment there is an apparent STUDIED
effort to please the public and thrift
and enterprise are plainly In evil
dence. Th employees assist ladies
and children and show every possible
courtesy to patrons. This is very
new and novel feature and phase OF
circus life that Montana people are
not at all accustomed to.
with the show there are about
.,,.., al 1a,,De Thoy aro ovport nan.
tomimists, dancers, acrobats and in
fictitious entertainers. They work In
groups around the rings and are
garbed in grotesque patterns Of the
costumers' invention. All Of the
clowns with the Sells-Floto shows
are funny and it frequently happens
that the audience forgets the per-
formance in the big rings while
watching the odd and peculiar pranks
of these funny men. Some Of their
tricks are old and some new, but all
are good. 1t is the best bunch OF
funmakers that has visited the city
since the days of the old-fsshioned
clown who was almost the whole
show.
While the menagerie Is not the
largest in the world, it is plenty
large enough, and in many respects
the best ever seen here. There is a
group of polar bears, one of the
largest lions in captivity, tigers,
camels, uromedaries and many rare
specimens of animals from different
parts of the earth. The menagerie
is an important part Of the big show
and contains many features of excep-
tional interest.
The equestrian acts are of the old
fashioned order, but good to see.
There are some excellent bareback
riders and one of the aerial acts is of
the hair raising order.
Different from other circuses, the
Sells Floto has many more acts than
either the billboard, paper or parade
would indicate. II is good show. ~
