The Great Wallace Shows have come
and Rone, and with them, no small a-
mount of Southern Oregon money.
A
very large audi<*n<*r witnessed the after

places the Wallace Show* aliovr par with
anv other show that ever exhibited in
Ashland. The ring |H»rformancv* were
good example« of animal intelligence,

completely “carried lhe |«oph* away”
was the hipjaidrome raring.
No sham
indeed, but genuine trials of 8|>ced, ami
this part of the entertainment was well
worth the price of admission.
No finer homes were ever seen here,

The men with the show* were courte

The management was composed of
gentlemanly, business-like men, who
will always leave a favorable impression

If vou need water onlv when the wind

a small fraction of the water in your

water at any time, and up to the full ca

RATHER AMUSING.
An amusing little incident connected
with circus-going was brought to our
notice last Saturday. A man, or |»erhaps
“fellow ’ would letter express it. went
into one of our leading grocery stores
circus morning ami obtained a sack of
flour “on time.” He then sold the Hour
for money to go to the circus. Just how
the |M-rson w m> ¡»ought the Hour got into
the show, we were unable to learn.
In
the production of such actions, lie the
demoralizing effects of a circus. for some
|M*oph* will always go to a circus if it
take " the last cent they possess.
