GREAT VAN AMBURG SHOWS.

-----

    The splendid reputation of the great Van Amburg  shows is so firmly established that none will doubt the genuineness of the promisis (sic) made, and no one will be disappointed.  This year the show has been enlarged so as to rank with any tented organization on the road.  Thousands of dollars have been spent in improving every department.

    It costs about $2,500 a day to run such a big circus.  There are 570 people with the show, besides 83 advance agents and bill posters with the advertising cars.

    The Van Amburg shows will exhibit in Marlin Friday, April 12, benefit Confederate widows' at Austin.
