In the last issue oof the DEMOCRAT
there was an article headed, "a
Grand Entertainment" and goes on
to say it was one of the best ever held
in this county. 1t was good. but as
to it being one of the best we will
have to be showed. We wonder if
the writer of the piece. has attended
every entertainment in the county.
A good entertainment is all right, but
when it comes to such small school
having such a lengthy program. it
takes altogether too much time off
their books. Such a program takes
at least two months hard study and
practice

F? You are disloyal to your town and
country if you patronize peddlers and
mail order houses. In addition to.
disloyalty you display short sighted
policy that will injure you financially.
Peddlers are birds of passa &c; they
come and go; if their wares are not as
represented you have no redress; they
tear down instead of building up
home market. Money sent to mail
order houses and spent with peddlers,
would add a half to the business of
your local merchants. would enable
them to- carry larger stock, employ
more help and sell goods cheaper.

been made an offer or $1,000 a week TO
come 10 this country to compete with
some OF our best mat artists He is
twenty-four years old and FIVE feet eight
inches in height, and weighs 21O pounds
He can take two 50-pound dumbbells in
either hand and turn ten forward or
backward somersaults. alighting each
time in the same place. covered with a
handkerchief. II IS nothing for him
to take a 2s-pound dumbbell in either
hand and jump his height. II is said In
wrestling match with a heavy police
man in London he lifted the officer by
the ankle and held the squirming piece
Of humanity at arms length. bowed and
thus carried the man off the stage.
Hackenschmidt IS a monstrosity OF
muscle. He lifts a $50 pound dumbbell
with case and throws II from one hand
to the other. This young Russian was
educated for the priesthood and speaks
FIVE languages
