SHOW DAY..
Magnificent Display of New Sights
Promised by Sun Brothers.

1t is a matter OF record that the
Sun Brothers Greater Progressive
Shows, have received fair portion OF
success in the Amusement Tent
ed Field.
Ever since the inception OF this
show some seventeen years ago, It
has been going along in a modest
way never using any bombastic or
Boosting manners. however giving
tie public a first class, clean and
always original show and invariably
exhibiting many OF the animal fea-
lures procurable. These elements
togethr with the policy of not allow
ing the introduction OF anything with
an oft-color, has given the Sun Bros.
much enviable prestige.
The show will come here by spec
ial railway service and will exhib-
1t at Louisa, on Saturday. July 25th,
performances will be given, matt
nee and night. at two and eight o.
clock p m.
The horses with this show are one
OF the predominant attractions. II
is an old saying that good horses
make a good show" The Sun
evidently had this in
mind when they arranged their show.
