cess of 40 over the record of Ken

period did not miss more than one day
at time. She began laying the 9th

again on her job Of filling the egg
basket. Mr.. Downing has a number of

kish and Egyptian features, the Tur-
kish marriage, ETC., and last but not
least that freaks of all freaks, Betty,
the Alligator Girl. That girl who was
born in Georgia twenty-five years ago,
and has skin just the same as an
Alligator, then for the children there
is the Merry-G Round, and the ride
to the clouds in the Giant Ferris
Wheel, and that ride of all rides, The
Whip, the most fascinating and inter-
esting ride that has ever been con-
ceived. You must ride on the Whip
to appreciate it. There is a full line
of high class concessions where one
will find Kewpie dolls, baby dolls,
glassware, candy and souvenirs Of all
kinds and descriptions.
The music is furnished by Millers'
Concert Band, which will give up town
concerts daily, and in all the celebra-
ton shold go down as one of Mays
ville's best weeks from an amusement
viewpoint.
The Barkoot Shows are the Oldest
Carnival organization in America, and
by adhearing strictly to business
methods at all times have built up a
reputation surpassed by none, per-
centage of all the business done will
be given to the committee of Odd Eel
