Y The medicine show which ha
t been tenting on the right of wa
t here the past week terminated thei
engagement last Saturday nigh
with a voting contest. Your CORE
= spondent attended the show on
night earlier in the week and wa
led to wonder how an aggregate
numbering about dozen person
travel and keep the exchequer i
. good shape on the amount of none
they were taking in. Our peopl
|, did not fall to the medicine gam
g very much and the total amour
: taken in from that source could nc
n have exceeded a few dollars pc

e a throw a big house does not brin
e much revenue. AS we said before
we were filled with wonder. Blu

e bit silver set for seventy five knock
n ers on the last night, our wonde
|. was changed to amaZement. It wa
t surely a neat job and had sellin
gold bricks beaten before the draw
g No doupt in more popular burgs tn

n brought considerably more tina
e what it did here. The people evt
W IDENTIFY work on the assumptio
o that Barnum was right when b
said that the American people deal

e sucker is born every minute an
It some minutes produce three or fou
etc. This show is billed for Share
If next week and we would respectful
ID ly ask the Sharon correspondent {
this weekly to kindly tell US ne1
I'd week just how much the silver 81
" brought there, in oader that we ma
I'd determine whether or not the sucl
r ers are more plentiful in that pa
ID of the county than here.
