Storm Breaks Up Circus.

The heavy rain storm Monday
evening completely broke up the
Al. F. Wheeler show, compelling
an abandonment of the evening
exhibition, the management of the
circus fearing the wind and rain
would wreck the tents and place
life and limb in jeopardy. There
was but small crowd at the after
noon performance and the side show
exhibition was just drawing to a
close at eight o'clock when the
storm broke and everyone was
ordered from the tent, the main
exhibition tent not having been
thrown open to the good sized
crowd that was assembling. There
was a general scurrying for shelter,
and an abandonment of the show
grounds.

Successful Fair At oxford

The largest crowd in the thirty
eighth years of its existence was
present at Oxford Fair on Friday,
it being estimated nearly 10000
persons were on the grounds. In
every other way this years fair
was a tremendous success. Every
department surpassed all record for
entries and quality. The exhibit
of farm machinery so far surpassed
the expectation of the managers
that the space originally allotted to
it had to be doubled.
While the proceeds of the ex
hibition have not been made public,
it is confidently expected that
enough will be cleared to enable
the managers to entirely remodel
the present grounds and put. them
into first class condition.

Missing since Saturday j. Austin
Clay, the 11-year-old son of Jacob
Clay, was found drowned in Elk
River, near Clay's Shore, Sunday
morning. When the little fellow
did not come home Saturday night
for supper his father started a
search for him, but he could not be
found. The discovery of a string
of fish in the water gave the
searchers a clew, and the river was
dragged and the body found. The
little fellow was subject to fits, and
it is thought that he suffered from
one while fishing and fell over
