Another Circss in Rising Sun.

Posters ale up announcing Sig.
Sautelle's circus in Rising Sun
Friday, Oct. %. The tents will be
pitched in Briscoe's meadow, near
the station. The following extract
is from the Vineland, IN. j.
Journal:
"The circus has captured the
town. Old and young thronged
the streets at noon today and gazed
with admiration on the handsome
ponies, fine chariots and fat horses.
The parade was voted a good one
and the management a very cour-
teous one, so it is very probable
that there will be big turn out
tonight. 1t is seldom that a trav-
cling show comes with such splen-
did testimonials as Sautelle's has.
After the parade the daring Capt.
Pierre appeared on the top Of a sky
scraper ladder and dived off to a
net below. When about half way
down he turned over very grace
fully and allowed himself to strike
the net on his back. 1t was great
feat and was loudly applauded."

Gold Times of the Eighth District.

w. w. Davis, j. d. West and
James Z. Haines have purchased
AZ acres of land from Charles A.
Grubb at lakewood. The tract eX-
tends toward Bald Hill and popular
rumor says it is rich in the prec-
ious metals. The parties paid Mr..
Grubb $1,000 for the tract and he
doesn't appear to set much value
on the gold and silver it contains.
The parties who purchased the land
say they are going to convert the
timber into barrels for holding
market truck, cabbage, lettuce,
potatoes, &c. This kind of barrel
is made of what is known as shaved
stuff, prepared by machinery for
that purpose. The logs are cut
off barrel length and put into the
machine which turns the log on the
knife which slices the stick into a
roll like a breadth of carpet, about
the third of an inch thick. This
roll is put under another machine
that cuts it into slaves, which are
left connected at one end when the
material is easily convertad into
light barrels, held firmly in shape
by an iron hoop at each end. The
barrel completed costs five cents.

A few weeks ago the editor was taken
with very severe cold that caused him to
be in most miserable condition. 1t was
undoubtedly bad case of la grippe and
recognizing it as dangerous he took im-
mediate steps to bring about speedy cure.
From the advertisement of Chamberlain' S
Cough Remedy and the many good rec:
concentrations included therein, we con-
Guided to make first trial of the med:
ieine. To say that it was satisfactory in
its results is putting it very mildly, in
deed. 1t acted like magic and the result
was speedy and permanent cure. We
have no hesitancy in recommending this
excellent Cough Remedy to anyone
afflicted with a cough or cold in any form.

Those who believe chronic diarrhoea to
be incurab1e should read what Mr. P. E.
Grisham, of Gaars Mills, La, has to say
on the subject. viz: 81 have been suf-
ferer from chronic diarrhoea ever since the
war and have tried all kinds of medicines
for it. At last I found remedy that
effected cure and that was Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera,and Diarrhoea REM
edy." This medicine can always be de-
pended upon for collie, cholera morbus,
dysentery and diarrhoea. 1t is pleasant
to take and never fails to effect cure.

The number of professional dyers in
India is fast diminishing. Aniline
dyes and cheap European goods are
killing their trade. They are being
compelled to turn their attention to
new handicrafts, just as French com
petition and the vagaries of fashion
caused the ribbon-makers of Coventry
to seek a new livelihood in the manu-
facture of bicycles. .Aniline dyes have
made every man his own dyer. Former
ly, the complicated processes by which
Indigenous dyes were prepared made
the dyer a specialist Nowadays. any
body can dissolve the chemical pow
ders sent out from Europe and color
his own clothes. The anime dyes are
more brilliant. and, to the native, they
have the superlative merit Of cheap
ness. They are not so fast, and they
lack the delicacy Of color which, iudg-
ing by the specimens annexed to the
monograph, distinguish the Indian
dyes, but their gaudiness makes them
more popular. and so the fate of the
native dyer is sealed. Silk dyeing. cot
ton dyeing and carpet dyeing are all
declining. The fault, it should be add
ed. is to some extent due to the con-
servatism of the native dyers them
selves. They persistently adhere to
their crude methods OF preparing their
dyes. and show n lamentable lack of in
genuity in preparing new Designs
