Robinson's Circus was in full
blast in our town two days—Wed-
nesday and Thursday last. The
equestrian exercises of the 'troupe;
the feats of jugglery and agility
by other divisions of the perform-
ers, the wit and practiced vag-
aries of the clown, and though
last but not least, the swell of
muse—now martial and quick;
anon, mellow and solemn, in uni-
son with the changes of program-
me, ak of which, with the bright
galaay of fair faces presented in
the gallery gave to the rare oc-
casion an enlivening interest, more
easily felt than described.
The ‘menagerie’ concern was
Meagre, only a half dozen zoolo-
WEgieal speciments were presented;
and the fact that ‘nobody didn’t
see the elephant’, depreciated in
a great measure, the otherwise
laudatory feats of the circusmen,
and thinned the audiences on the
second day’s performances.
‘ The ezhibition of the Red .Giant
and a skeleton elicited much in-
terest from the eager throngs who
witnessed it in a side show; while
young Robinson —— personating
Madam Woorland, ascended the
tight wire, with cautious tread
and nicely balanced gait, as he
reached the terminus of his route
while—
"Still they gazed and still the
wonder grew." — “won’t she de-
scend again?’’—the madamoiselle
turned around, bowed, and in-
stantly disappeared and sunk on
the opposite side of the main pavi-
lion. On the whole the circus is
greatly superior to any that made
an appearance here as yet. G - - d
speed the wagons."
We notice the following quaint
. ngtice from Dr. Jas. Smith to
k Abis delinquents.
B VJ*"" To All Whom It May Concern:
Today we salute Henderson and Rusk County on its
sustained, permanent growth during the past ten years,
with gratitude that the growth in population, business and
industry has been on a normal, healthy basis rather than
on the unstableness of “boom” energy. Physically, mor-
ally, financially, and spiritually Henderson will continue
to grow, basing its advance on substantial and worth-
whileprojects which prove of material worth to every citi-
zen of this locality.

“scrap book”, evidently having its
origin in the early Eighties, and
which has been in our possession
for many years, we find two clip-

otherwise unidentified as to date

original Henderson Times, giving
documentary evidence of a news-
