A Circus Comes to Town. Wednesday. April 15th. Sparks Circus came to Farmville. The parade came through town and past the school. It is hard to tell which enjoyed it most the training school children of the college girls. High street, in front of the college building was a mass of human beings. This cr>wd did not assemble in vain for the parade was excellent. There were ladies and gentlmen riding beautiful hn'.,es; great painted wagons drawn by prancing steed contained a variety of wild animals: large elephants and striped zebras exhibited themselves, and of course there were many clowns. A steam piano and a hand or two, played regular circus tunes, and venders peddled balloons, devils and birds. The circus gave an afternoon performance which was rather good. There were three rings and at the greater part of the time, something was happening in each. In the middle ring, the wild animals performed, lions, tigers, polar hears, leopards an.l seals. In the other rings, hogs, lainars. monkeys, ponies and horses acted. Beautiful girls did all kinds of stunts. They swang in rings, turned cart-wheels. rode horses and ane gave an act with doves. Two Japanese hoys performed wonderful balance experiments. The circus ended with a fox hunt, which took place around the entire track. Some animal, (perhaps a coon) was led around, followed by a pack of yelping hounds, (lose behind, ivhicl' raced the huntesnieii and women in red jackets. This was one of the most thrilling ails oi the entire circus. Between different stunts, the downi acted and a line of queer looking figures riding still queerer object [, rode around the track. The circus was certainly worth see ing. and anyone who missed it, miss ed a lot of fun.

There was not a single girl in school who was not dismayed and sorry when she heard that Audrey Chewning would have to leave school. Audrey has not been well for some time, in spite of this, she COUtinued her splendid work and had a ready smile for everyone. The doctor however, has at last had his way, and Audrey is resting up this term. We shall certainly miss her and her place is almost beyond filling, however "Every cloud has a silver lining" and this one proves no exception to the rule. As a result of Audrey losing this term, we hope to have her all of next year, instead of only part. We are missing Audrey and all wishing her a speedy recovery.
