WATER CIRCUS COMING
SOUTH FIRST TIME.
One of the Attractions at the Missis-
slppi State Fair at Jackson Will
Be Innovation In Way Of
Entertainment.

Many Mississipplans Of the old
school have vivid as well as fond
recollection of the old cross-country
circus-the ones that moved from
town to town over the country roads
by wagon, elephant, tiger, monkey,
clown and all. All Of us are familiar
with the modern circus that travels In
magnificent trains from city to city.
But here comes the water circus"
This is new one on all of us.
Yet this very same attraction will
be seen at the Mississippi State Fair
this year in all its glory and novelty.
According to Secretary Mcdonald,
who has been successful in securing
this startling attraction, the water
circus" Is d wonderful aquatic spec
tacle shown in a huge tank containing
$4,000 gallons Of clear water, where
thirty male and female experts per-

Editor Sheriff in Harness Again.

On Sept. 1st, Sheriff R T. Quin,
who, when elected. laid aside the
stylus, shears and paste-pot on the
McCUmb Journal. again took
charge editorially of that sprightly
sheet, relegating Bro. Austin TO
the mechanical department. a
position he can fill with as much
facility and attractiveness as he
did the editorial tripod. We well
come Bro. Quin back to the fold
of the Fourth Estate, and while
he may not have as much time to
devote to the paper as he would
like during the serving of the re-
mainder of his time as sheriff. we
feel confident he will fill the dual
position of editor-sheritf with a
vim and devotion to duty that has
ever characterized him. \

nounees that arrangements have been
practically completed for marking
the trail through the Humboldt val

placed at all cross roads along the
trail and at intervals where the road
runs a long stretch without an in

agreed to furnish the posts, and it is
understood that the matter has been
laid before the commissioners of
Washoe county, with the probability
of favorable action.
