Mullins, of Demossville, left at our office a copy of the old Falmouth Independent, dated April 10, 1876, which was mailed to his father, the late B. M. Mullins, who was a subscriber of the paper.

The Independent says that circus day passed off quietly with the exception of a few altercations and numerous drunken men. It was a quiet day considering the quantity of whisky drank, and the wild character of specimens who were on a bender. Much credit was given to the town marshall and efficient police force for holding the town on its feet. Uncle John Robinson's great circus and menagerie was given a rousing welcome on April 17. Pendleton county fully sustained her past reputation as a circus town. The circus was good and the management took $1,000 out of the community. On Sunday evening about two-thirds of Falmouth's population assembled at the deport to witness the unloading of the circus.
