BIG STREET FAIR IN JEANE-
RETTE NEXT WEEK

Lagos Great Empire Shows
will appear in Jeanerette all next
week when a season of riotous
amusement is promised. Twenty
railroad cars are required to
transport the organization which
is the largest to tour TIE ST., te this
year.
Lagos Shows bear a splendid
reputation and have received the
highest praise from both press
and public wherever they have
appeared. They have gotten
away from the old style street
fair ideas and are presenting this
year everything that is new and
novel in the amusement world.
One of the latest riding devices
that have been added is the larg-
est portable " Whip in the coun-
try. This ride is the most sensa-
tional and fascinating Coney IS
land has ever produced and a trip
on the "Whip" is sure to be re.
plete with thrills. The Old
Plantation Show is in every way
the equal of any Of the largest
travelling minstrel organizations.
This attraction consists of eigh.
teen high class performers. Lack
Of space precludes description of
all shows but every one Of them
is of exceptional merit and we'll
worth more than one visit.
Frequent changes of program in
all the shows will be made and
something new presented nightly.
