MURPHY SHOWS CLOSE
WEEK IN GREENEVILLE

The Murphy Shows close weeks
engagement in Greeneville tonight.
Good crowds have been in attend
ance most all week, and especially
since Wednesday, as the weather the
first part of the week was very dis
agreeable. There has been splendid
order during the entire week. The
large crowds have all been good natur
ed, jostling around and enjoying the
many attractive exhibits and having a
good time generally. The Murphy
Shows have proven to be all that was
claimed for them. The management
is to be congratulated for having col
lected together a bunch Of features
that are free from immortality, free
FROM the usual coterre of grafters
and sharks that are usually found
with aggregations of this kind. The
Murphy Shows have done all they
agreed to- do, they have measured up
to all expectations. The high dive
act by Miss Quincy in the afternoon
and evening has proven great draw
ing card for the shows. 1t is an act
within itself well worth coming miles
to see. It is the best free acteof this
character ever seen here. The Muir
ply shows have given satisfaction and
they can play a return engagement
here any time they want to.
