Nathans Circus.

On Friday, July 18th, the combined
shows of this company, under the
management of Mr.. A. NJ. Nathans
are to exhibit in our village. The
show is said to be one of the most
meritorious now on the road, and
among its people we notice one or
two of the best performers who last
year travelled with the Barnum folks.
The name of Elise Dockrill is familiar
to all circus loving people as the finest
equestrienne living, her bare back
four and six horse specialties being
unique in character, as no other liv-
ing equestrienne attempts even what
she daily performs. The Buffalo Er-
press says as follows regarding the
coming affair.
1.-The tornado which leveled the
tent of Nathans & Co.'S circus at Sus-
pension Bridge on Tuesday, wrought
such destruction with canvas that it
could not be repaired in time for the
afternoon performance yesterday. By
evening, however, everything was
in ship.shape order, and in spite of
the threatening weather the tent was
well filed. 1t is the circus that Mr..
Nathans prides himself on, not the
menagerie. The latter, if somewhat
small, is very we'll selected, and af-
fords pleasant study. The preform-
ance in the ring gave the best of salts
OF orb SnlIAr,,
much applause been heard in circus
tent in Buffalo.
While few new features are intro
duced in the ring, all the performers
are first class-many of them stand
ing at the head of all others in their
specialties. A better or more grace
full rider than Madame DockreIl can
nowhere be found. Daring she is,
too. and last night gave an exhibition
of riding which could not he surpass-
ed. Mr., Fred Barckley is also an ex-
cellent rider, and his bare. back act
called out prolonged applause. Two
of the Ashton Brothers and Messrs.
Smead and Moulton gave a fine ex-
hibition on the horizontal bars, and
the three Ashton Brothers exhibited
some startling feats of strength. The
DE Bar Brothers are good contOrtion-
lists. Prof. Relnhart's dog circus is
very entertaining, and the other acts
all seem to please-generally being
first-class. The veteran Col. Dan Rice
made neat speech, in which he
promised to don his old motley and
to-day appear as clown, along with
Carroll and Lynch.
All in all. the circus is good one
and the performance may be classed
above theaverage. Performances will
be given at and P. NJ. to-day, and
a big crowd seems assured on both
occasions should the weather prove
favorable.

WE called in at Martins Store one
day last week to see how the boys
were getting along, and found them
busy among their great stacks Of
goods. There are boots and shoes, in
endless variety; there are fannels, dry
goods, and dress goods; there are silks,
satins, velvets, plushes, embroidery,
and everything in the way Of beauti-
fu goods. In fancy buttons, they
have surprising variety of beautiful
styles. In fact, anything in the way
Of dry goodsand fancy goods, you can
find at Martins. We cannot find room
for even a partial description. Just
call in and see these beautiful goods.
You will not have to stand around
and wait, but you will find prompt,
gentlemanly and obliging clerks ready
to wait upon you, on sight. Call at

Would it not be a good idea, now that
the rush and hurry of the campaign is
over, to make an attempt to resuscitate
the Jackson County Literary and Music
al Association, or to organize anew?
These meetings were the grandest ever
held in the county, save and except the
County Sabbath School Celebrations, and
both have been dropped.
Jackson County has sufficient array
of musical culture to make up an excel
lent programme. and the town has ample
facilities for accommodating all who
might come. The old tent is still service
able, then we have the big Jones Hall,
where the music would perhaps sound
much better than in the tent. The mu-
sical portion of the meetings heretofore
held, were especially attractive, and we
believe it would not be difficult to arouse,
among our musicians, such an interest as
would make musical gathering highly
successful.
Then the County Sabbath School Cele-
bration ought to be held next year, with
out fail. These gatherings did great good
in arousing young and old, alike, to a
sense of duty, in studying and teaching
. and living, ways of Righteousness. Let
us all take an interest in these matters.

A Pithy Sentence.

A well known statesman of this coun-
try once said when summing up the
events of a life time: youth is blum
der, manhood struggle, old age regret"
He might have added many more Won
ders, but they are not necessary, for his
aphorism expresses much. Yet it is a
well known fact that the above could not
be said of life were all classes aware what
great remedy Peruna is, and what
wondrous cures it has performed. For
the ills of youth it is a wonderous spe-
cific. The worry and tear of manhoods
struggle for existence enfeeble his system,
and he needs such a tonic, and when old
age comes on with it's feebleness and
regrets for failures and mistakes, the
great remedy, Peruna, can still be used
with good effect, and if given a fair trial
will accomplish wonders. 4oct2t

County Military History.

tory of this county, and turned over the
manuscript to the historian of the Inter
State Publishing Company. 1t makes
over fifty pages Of l. 81 cap PAPER, aud is
a very concise compilation of material
matter, and viii occupy about 25 pages in
the History of the Lower Scioto Valley"
Considering the limited time, and the
very limited space allowed in the book, it
has required considerable outlay of
money and great labor, to prepare it. Ma
terial for history is hard to collect now,
nearly twenty years after the war. Mr..
Miller only receives enough to cover ex-
penses. The labor has been gratuitous.

He had great patch over his left eye,

that he was cut and bruised upon the
body. This is the man spoken of in an
