Hours 0f night are shrinklng'

Nature from her to!p0r

Winters icy letters
From her iimbs she shakes
All her pulses quicken
With returning life;
Fading are the traces
or the wintry strife.
Hearts are growing lighter
With the growth Of days;
Ewes are brighter shining.
Tongues are tuned To praise
Gladly do We listen
To the robins tr'il;
All the senses qulVrr
With eXpectant lhrlli
Thought goes rushing forward
To the blossom time,
To the Zephyrs waited
From a warmer CLINE
Fancy scents the fragrance
Or the rose unborn;
Fond anticipation
Paints the blushlng MORN

Sooner nights depart;
Brighter CLOVIS tue sunshine,
Cheering every heart
Golden is the promise
Or the joys IN store,
Pleasure softly whispers
Tales ne'er heard before. Eek.

CLYDE RUSSELL
In Trouble Again, and There are
Others,

1t was only to be expected that the
crowd incident to a circus would have
some law breakers but there were few
er of that class of people doing busi-
ness Saturday than is usually the case.
1t is to be hoped that the rain which
struck the show at Wellstpn drowned
them all out.
The criminal act of the greatest i'm
portance which was apprehended was
only the theft of a watch which only
rises to the dignity of petit larceny.
Clyde Russell thenews butcher, seems
bent on being kept before the public
in no very enviable light either He is
now in Jail awaiting a hearing on the
charge of having stolen the watch. 1t
is alleged that he went into the shoe
store of H. Kestermeier, Jr., and asked
permission TO write note. This was
granted and he was directed to the
desk After he had gone out it was
noticed that silver watch was miss
ing which had been hanging near the
desk Marshal Dye was notified and
from the description given him, Rus
sell was arrested and taken to the city
building to study up an excuse while
waiting for trial. The hearing will
probably be held Monday morning.
The watch was found in Stossmeis-
ters shop.
officer Weyrich, assisted by one oi
the special officers OIL the day, arrested
a man who was somewhat under The
influence of bit too much liquor.
Officer Knox picked up man by The
name of Preston from Vincent ant
loading him into buggy transferred
him to the city prison. His friend!
wer making an effort to get him out il
time to take him home on the specia
Saturday evening.
Special officers Meister. and Ra!
picked up Sam Null, who was yer!
much intoxicated, and will give him al
opportunity to get the Mayors price oI
his inebriation.
Officer Roney gathered in two of tn
erring ones and left them to think i
over at the city prison and answer tn
Mayors guilty or not guilty" whel
the time comes.
These were all the arrests made III
to seven o'clock Saturday evening an
considering the number of people il
the city, we think it shows very fiat
tering condition of affairs.

Improvement Notes.

Front street presents a very tidy ap-
pearance to the passengers on the
trains entering town. AS one looks
out the car window on either side one
can not fail to be impressed by the
splck and span cleanliness of this bust
ness street.
The Court House yard is in painful
contrast to the well kept Jail yard op-
posfte.
The ladies have been assured by
Mr.. Garrison that he will cut as much
grass as possible in Mound Cemetery
before Decoration Day. Il has been
proposed that a small section of the
cemetery. where the permits for lower
ing or leveling the graves have been
obtained, be put in order and thus
serve to indicate what the final result
will be afer all lot owners have been
interviewed. Nothing can or will be
done to any grave without the written
permission of the lot owner. This the
ladies wish to have clearly understood.
In all cases where the lot owner has
deep sentiment In favor of keeping
the graves in his lot just as they are,
the ladies have no other idea than thA
of respect for this sentiment. The re-
port that people are to be forced into
having the graves lowered is entirely
erroneous.

The Circus.

tiiO VII Ouot
John Robinsons show, that old re-
liable Buckeye institution, was with
us yesterday, and presented two per-
formances to two very fair houses.
Rain, that despoiler of the circus
mans happiness, caught the big show
at Wellston, and the watery action Of
the elements nearly drowned them out
80 much so, that there was very
heavy dew on tue outfit when il struck
our classic precincts.
Marietta is a fairly good circus town
and this one brought in the people
from far and near, so that the streets
were in a highly congested condition.
While the show is not tremendous in
its proportions, yet in 10Th menagerie
and circus there was much to interest
the people. The riding was particular
ly good by both men and women, and
there were some excellent feats of bal
ancing-particularly one where a man
make himself gracefully comfortable at
the top of an unsupported ladder
Some trapeze work was also very fine
The Robinson show is the Oldest on
the road, having been born in 1924. II
is now under the management of the
original John Robinsons grandson
John G. Robinson, and is owned by the
Roblnsons entirely. Many of their old
people are with the show, including
John Lolow, who clowned 1t for years
but who now does the part of that
wisest of all wise and serious men
King Solomon; Edw Cullen and o. H
P. Scott, general factotums, are also in
evidence, as are also Dan Dale, treas
urer; F. B. Wilson, press agent; "Bill'
Dutton, equestrian director, and Harry
Green, very clever Rube. The show
has 4S7 people connected with it, 25(
head of horses, so ponlss-one oi
which is but four days old
A tented show is particularly al
American institution; and Robinson'i
being a product of Buckeyedom, is o
especial interest.

When a young woman sits down and

ing children and loving husband In the
foreground. At that moment she may be
facing death. Matrimony and motherhood
hold out no happiness to the young woman
who suffers from weakness and disease of
the distinctly feminine organism. The wo-
man who suffers In this way will be weak,
nervous. sickly, petulant wife, an incapable
mother and an unamiable hostess. Not
knowing the truth, her acquaintances will
not understand that she is deserving of
pity rather than reproach..
Any woman may be strong and healthy
in a womanly way IL she will use the right
remedy. DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
Is the best Of all medicines for weak and
ailing women. II acts directly on the de-
lioate and important organs that make wife
hood and motherhood possible. II makes
them strong, healthy and vigorous. 1t
banishes the dangers that surround ma.
ternity. II insures a healthy baby and an
ample supply of nourlshment. Thousands
of women who were weak, sickly, nervous
invalids, are now healthy, robust wives and
competent mothers of healthy children, as
the result of the use of this medicine.
