worthy cause-that OF raising funds for

PALMER PROBABLY ESCAPED.

Sheriff R. w. Randy returned from Swifton Thursday morning with boy giving his name as Jim King in cus- tody, who was thought to have stolen the $100 in gold from Dr. Pepper and others.
 The boy was searched and nothing found; and as the men who had been robbed failed to identify him, he was given his liberty and fare back to Swifton.
 The boy wanted is named John Palmer and as the sheriff's blood hound traced him to the railroad switch near Campbell, where railroad men affirm a bum answering tthe de- scription caught north bound freight, the chances of ever securing the young crook are regarded as slight.

 William and Herbert Hurley spent Sunday at home, the former returning to Newport Sunday and the latter to Sulphur Rock Tuesday. MT.

Thirteen year old Claud Langston concluded last week that he would like to ''get out" and 'ssee the world.' He was not seen nor heard from again until Monday when he returned. From the expression of his face it may be safely inferred that he will remain at home in the future. Rufe Roberts took his newly re- paired buggy on trial trip to Tuck erman Sunday night.

THE CIRCUS AND WILSON'S.

Those who know say that every act of the Great Wallace Show, which vis it's this city on Tuesday Nov. 4, is an extraordinary one, and that there is whole show.
 Every number on the program is a feature, but great stress is laid upon the Nelson family, as the amusement caterers of the world consider this groupe of premier acrobats to be the finest ever known. Their act is in describable. For twenty minutes they are busy every second giving con- tinuous performance of a hundred of most intricate and difficult feats ever accomplished, and it is all done with such rush that a light headed person may become dizzy with watching them.
 For three years B. E. Wallace has had bona fide cash deposit of $10,0O0 posted to back his challenge to the world to produce any act equal to that of these justly celebrated aero bats. The Nelson family act is truly a phenomenal one, and they are with out superiors. From the broad-shoul- dered, sturdy grandfather down to the five-year- old tiny, curly headed grand daughter, they are all natural adopts in acrobatic work. The female members seem to be the hardest work CTS and best artists and get the most applause, with the exception of the little tot, who is brought from the dressing tent in a "carpet bag"
