The Circus

The circus has came and gone and
Elko has resumed it's usual quiet. The
parade yesterday had one amusing
feature worthy of notice. An old man
and woman, rugged up rs hayseeds and
driving Il one-horse rig, attempted to
but into the parade Mt the freight house
and was stopped by the parade marshal.
The old lady began to cry and several
parties went to their assistance, not
dreaming that the old farmer was the
chief detective of the show and the old
lady was a detective. They attracted a
big crowd that listened to their tale of
woe until the procession passed and
they fell in behind and drove to the big
tent. All the time the old couples eyes
were peeled for pickpockts.
The show attracted a big crowd to the
tent in the afternoon and all seemed
to be pleased with the performance.
The old farmer and his wife, logged
out in their best, kept themselves busy
inside of the tent.
The main circus was clean and good,
But of all the frauds that ever visited
Elko, the concert" after the perfrom
ance was the worst. 1t was Il clean cut
steal of the first water. Fully 800 peo.
pie remained to see the concert and all
acknowledged themselves full-grown
suckers after it was over. They took
their medicine good naturally and
many of them took in the side show to
see the wild man eat his dinner of raw
meat. Suckers are born every minute
and but few of them in Elko ever die.
The attendance at the night perform
ance was very light. After the per-
formance, the tents were pulled down
and the equipment loaded and the big
show pulled ont for Wells.

settlement of Welshton, ten miles be-
low Ocala, now only a memory and a
place in the pine woods devoid of
pines and operated the eating house
there for the Florida Southern rail-
road, now the A G. l. Through the
