On Wednesday, October 30th,
Goldsboro will be invaded by Sells
Brothers' big circus with its attend
ant side shows, peanuts and lemon
ade, and the small boy will 'be in his
glory. This is the first visit to this
city of Sells Brothers' gigantic shows
when everybody can attend, and this
is what you will see :
Three big circuses in three seperate
rings, fitty cage menagerie, huge ele
vated stages, gladiatorial combats,
royal Roman hippodrome, gala day
sports, Australian aviary, African
aquarium, Arabian caravan, spectacu
lar pageants, and trans-Pacific wild
beast exhibit, matchless in the mighty
majesty of its magnificence. All
other shows positively outclassed.
The great show ofthewoild. After
witnessing the sublime and over
whelming deluge ot delights the pub

absolutely nothing else left in the
realm ot amusements that posesses
any merit whatever. Remember

exhibition. Special excursion rates

The Crop of Tobacco of 1895.
The great crop of tobacco has been
raised in Eastern Carolina this year,
and in the sections where it has been
raised, the farmers have paid up their
debts, unloading and paying oft old
mortgages, and everything has a pros
perous outlook. Every farmer in
Craven and Jones county has now the
golden opportunity to help, them
selves by each farmer planting a few
acres in tobacco in 1896. j
The territory for raising fine bright
tobacco is mainly confined to Eas
tern North Carolina. Not only the
United States but ail Europe use our
fine bright tobacco. There is no
chance to overstock the market with
good tobacco. New Berne Journal.
