There was turrible big show in Bing- vile all last week eald the "Injun Medi- cine Show" This show arrove in town , from the co seat on Monday morning and got permishion from the town se- lecktmen to give their show every night for week on the publick square and in return for granting permission to give ,-this show the town seleektmen each got Ia bottle Of medicine free grattis for notthink It must be a awful soft snap to be town selecktman in Bingville. We'll, this show was composed of 2 gents. One was a big heavy set man who cald hisself Doctor Brown. He was a magnificent looking specimen of manhood with long curly hair reaching down to his shoulders and a long black nustach and wore big diamond pin in which he said was worth fifty thousand hurt persons eyes to look at it. Tother might say and every night all week he blacked up his face and sung songs and danced iigs and got of jokes and told stories till them as lissened to him laffed fit to bust theirselfs.
 EsVCIy llkHL PIOlut dt p. HI. kIlC show wagon would drive from Cy Hos kins barn where the two fellers kep their hosses and as for them they slept and ct at Cy's house, to the Publick Sq., where they would stop and begin their show.
 Bingville folks thort this was one of the best shows which has visited our midst for several years and they turned out every nite in full force. Word that the show had came to town spred like wild fire and by the middle of the week folks from miles around was driving in to see the performance, Young fel- lers from Bingville took their best girls to the show and everybody en- joyed it and was sorry when the time come for the show to leave town which it did last Satterday nite. Prob ably the reason the show was so pop lar was becus no admisshun was charged
 Ahns after the chap who was all blacked up had sung a song or two the doctor would open up trunk wich he had in the wagon and sell some medisine which he had with him for little or nothink. He explained to the crowd that he wasn't trying to make any profit on this medisine but was simply employed by the Honk-a-Tonk Medicine company which he worked for to interdooce the medicine to the publick. He said that the company he was workin for was losing money on every bottle of medisine they sold, but that was none of his bizness and he calkilated that the company fig gerd that if they could once git folks to try their medicine and find out how awful good it was for every i'll which the human flesh is heir to then the publick would continue to buy it as , long as they lived and take same for whatever ailed them and thus the company could afford to almost give away the medisine at first. This sound l ed reasonable to most everybuddy present and as result 9 awful lot of medisine was sold during the week. E~lgville folks who is full of health and aint never had sick day in their 1 lives bought bottle after bottle of it for use in case of a emergency for as Doctor Brown said, You can't never tell, ladies and gents, when you will be took sick. You may be in good health today and tomorrow you may ! be laying grooming on your sick bed. If you have a bottle of this herc' ton ick which I hold ;n my hand in your home you can laff at sickness. This is called the Honk-a-Tonk Magick
