Monterey LEFT"

There were many disappointed boys
and girls here last Tuesday. About
noon a more or less imposing ag-
grepation drove up the Franklin
road. halted at the lower end of
town, and the small boy was soon
agoq with interest and excitement
as he declpbered the letters on each
wagon-"Loudon and Suttle Show"
It turned out, however. that Mon
terey e,as to be passed by, not be.
cease she was SO small, but. most
likely, because this is the home OF
the vigilent tax man. and old Vlr-
GINA digs pretty deep into the
pockets Of the show people. Then.
too, it leaked out that one perform
ance had already been given in the
county, that no license had been
called for or paid, and the prospect
of being called upon for both coun-
ty ard corporation license was prob
ably too much to face in the alb
sence of any ad. ertising or reputa-
ton either.
Any way, they passed US by,
though every small boy in the
place would rather have seen the
government-national, state, coun-
ty and municipal-go to the bow
vows for lack Of revenue, than
to have missed the performance,
whatever it might have been.
The outfit consisted of some four
or FIVE wagons, and went from here
to warm Springs. At least they so
stated and left in that direction.

The hawk, which is regarded as
the fleetest and most keen-eyed OF
the falcon family is seldom caught
mapping or taken by surprise,
hence two Instances, recently com.
ing to our attention, are worthy OF
mention:
Mr. Samuel Warner, while coming
to town Sunday morning, saw a
hawk sitting on stump not far
from the roadside. Seeing he was
not observed, Mr. Warner slipped up
close enough to strike it with a
stick, quickly and carefully thrown.
Upon examination he found a large
splinter of wood piercing the birds
breast, from which, no doubt it
was suffering.
The other case referred to is that
