The audiences were not as large as last year. The entertainment provided was of a high character and Is a better 25 cent show than has ever come to this pl'tw, Some disappointment rests with ili people who attended the show lust year, first because they did not show all in the afternoon that was on the program. In the first place the man agement did not advertise a menagerie and it should be known that at the af ternoon performance last year there were so many people that some of the best attractions had to be omitted. While the attendance ihUyear could not have been satisfactory to the man agement, the entertainment provided was worth more than the prtce charg ed for admission. The exhibition of the trained horses alone was worth more than the price of admission Welsh Bros., on account of too large a crowd last year were compelled to omit some of their best attractions and hence a (treat many of our people were disappointed. This year Welsh Bros. and those who remained away were disappointed. The circus people do not propose to give up coming to Mid dleburg as they propose coming back next year. And as they have redeem ed themselves, they are entitled to full houses and we believe they will ge them. All those who saw the show this year will welcome them back next year. Haupt. On Saturday morning the remains of James Haupt, who died at a Norfolk hospital after an illness of several weeks, was brought to his home here for burial.

As was stated in last week's paper by a communication from "a mcmlicr of the executive committee" that they had taken steps to have the 'school to school visitation in the near future. It is hoped that all olllcers of their rc sM'ctive schools will interest them selves in this matter so that we may assist one another in getting out of a rut that retards the progress of the school or be assisted by some other school to assist us. This is a stepping stone to the House to House Visitation that will be pushed later on. All Sun day school workers should prayerfully work for the betterment of their re spective schools and to that extent would better the schools throughout the county.
