The coming of Anderson Cos Circus and Menagerie a well known show in this vicinity had been heralded for many miles around, and the consequence was that every body and his sweetheart was early oh the ground to see all that was to be seen. It is not our custom to resort to the puffing of shows, but this must be an exception, for in our humble opinion Anderson and deserve a handsome notice from our hands, lack of space tho', necessitates our mentioning only the leading features in this issue. The street par-ads in the morning proved an interesting feature that was universally praised.

It was one moving mass of gorgeous brilliancy from the superb band chariot to the concluding cage, opened on each side and 6nd in which were a quartette of ferocious looking lions and bengal tigers with their trainer sitting nobly in their midst. The collection of animals was unusually large and some of the finest specimens ever ex hibited were included in the number. The circus performance was participated in by a corps of arenic artists that are sim ply par excellence in their various acts of skill. The riding waa first class iu every particular, the gymnastic exercises were thrilling and artistic, while the acrobatic feats were faultless.and the trained horses elephants, ponies and dogs were marvel, ous indeed. Come again Mr.

Anderson, and we will do you proud. "Speaking of says Mrs. Par tington, "some can bathe with perfect impunity iu water as cold as Greenland's icy mountains and India's coral strands but for my part, I prefer to have the water a little torpid." J. 0. T.

A t'A UDi To Our Friends) and All Who Do Mire to a spring or arm Wagon, Established in 1800.1 If you intend to buy anything in our line this season, you should first decide hetween the cheao. shabby work that the country is flooded with, which has no oth er reputation than its low price, and nrst-class, honest work which has a reputation and is known to every one as being the cheapest in the long run. The best evidence of the superiority of our wagons is they are made of all first-class Indiana aud Wisconsin timber which is all selected by ourselves and kept in stock at least 3 years before ironed.

We are both skilled mechanics ourselves, and superintend our own works, and will warrant every wagon to give entire satisfaction. Uur wagons are all put together by hand, and by as good skilled mechanics as can be found in America, and we are happy to state our wagons took the first premium at the Fairs at St. Joe for the past 3 years also one premium at tho great St Louis Fair, and one at the Maryville. Fair. We have tho largest wagon factory in St.

Joseph, and sell at" lower prices than any other establishment in the North-west, considering quality. We call the attention of the public especially to our new, patent, Platform Spring Wagons, something new, desirable and valuable, it is, no doubt, the boss of all platform spring wacons for "streneth and neatness. We also call the attention of old friends, and the public generally, to the fact that we are now manufacturing' a cuperior article of spring wagops of all kinds, just tho kind every farmer needs, and before buying, it will be money in your pocket to call and examine our work aud get prices. We are prepared to furnish Farm lor Spring Wagons as low as first-class work can be produced anywhere. With our facilities we can offer better bargains and selections than any one else.

I'anninK, Fanning still lives The half "dozen dweliiugs, as many families, two stores, grist mill and four old bachelors, who are continually mourning for a help-me-to-eat, are all here.

Bradley and Edwards, wear their usual happy smile. They evi dently see golden opportunities in the tare; and so does 'ye local' if our land own ers will only invite enterprise.

To be plain, the growth of our village depends upon a proper and economical disposition of town lots our general prosperity is certain when that end is attained. There is noth ing to prevent Fanning from being the boss town between Troy and White Cloud. Aside from this, we have a rich surroundr ing country fairly developed, and an m- telligent well-to-do class of farmers of whom we may justly feel proud. Our re-resources are ample to support four or five good bnsiness firms, and we can easily swell our number from about 50 to 300 or 500, in from two to five years, if our town property holders will judiciously advertise inducements, to prompt persons of stamina to locate wifh and aid ns in building up our beautiful town JOTTINGS HEBE AND THERE.

Let all the farmers and their families attend the Harvest Home Picnic, at Troy, next Thursday. It is expected that Governor Mitchell will be present and make one of his best speeches. Advertisers should bear in mind that the season of trade is at band that will justify liberal advertising and. therefore send in their orders to the ''Leading paper" in the county. Now doii't "yon other three fellers all get up at The Republican friends of Leland in this locality are not satisfied with the Manhattan Convention.

Leland is defeated for Congress, we apprehend his true friends will not be forgotten, ahd that candidates for Senator, and those upon the State ticket who have been unfriendly to him, will find he is neither sick nor dead.

The "Crooked" Marshal, of this city. is "old business. He was inquiring of a colored man, what the foreman of the Bulletin was doing in this city. We would recommend the Mayor to put ice on that Marshal's head. The editor of the Chief could; find the time to go to Topeka to go on the bond of a man accused of forgery, but he was rather busy to attend the Manhattan Convention, when a man from his own party, and from his own town was a candidate before that convention.

Charley Brown has resigned the City Marshalship of Troy, and Mr. Fouler has been appointed to take the place.

On next Thursday we expect a large crowd iu Troy to attend the Farmers Hsr vest Home. It will be a big day, and if the weather is pleasant thousands will be present.

Mr.

Waters, Chairman of the Demo cratic Committee ef the First Representative District, calls a Convention at Highland on the 24th instant, to select delegates to the Leavenworth Conventions on September 4th. As the County Ceutral Committee has suggested in a call, Severance as the place, we fear there may be confusion grow out of these calls. Democrats of Iowa, Wolf River, and Union Townships had better see to it that there are no mistakes made, and thereby avoid trouble in the State and Congressional Conventions. On Wednesday night last Mr. Ed.

R. Sheldon, clerk in Cooper's drug store, met with quite a serious It eeems that about ten o'clock some of the boys about town got on a little jamboree and went to the Ptore and wanted in. Mr. Sheldon and Mr. sleep in the store and had retired for the night.

They won't instruct Institutes or teach public schools. No, sir! One intends traveling, and we presume the other will ran fr Congress. We fear the labors of the Institute will be broueht to a spesdy termination, and that the teachers now attending it will be eajer in the search of rotten stumps, where they may find glittering gold, and jewelers toold.
