ENJOYABLE MISSION Meeting

There was music-vocal and
instrumental, solos and duets-and
1t was all so splendid as to call for
spontaneous applause and numer-
Ious encores. Misses Lena and
Lottie Clawson, Emma Stanford,
Miss Katie Goodwin, and others
made this portion of the evenings
entertainment one long to be re
membered with pleasure. And
then there was something to eat
there always Is when the good
Baptist ladies have their meetings.
There was an abundance of 1t. 1t
was so palatable that vast quaint.
ties of 1t disappeared, and yet
there was much remaining. Each
one present voted Mrs. Clawson as
one of the best of the many ex-
cellent providers of delectable
dishes In that circle of good cooks
Three new members were added
to the circle at that meeting. All
who went want to 60 again; all who
stayed at home are sorry they
did not 60 too. MIS-. Clawson may
be certain that the next time her
latch string Is out, there will not be
q vacant chair In the whole circle.

of gravitation are overcome by
mans dexterity. The Liliputian
pony exhibition was fine, the hand
some little animals displayed re-
markable intelligence. The riding
pony was also remarkable feat,
and was the first performance of
the kind ever witnessed In this city.
Miss Inez Scott, the "iron jaw" dis
played remarkable strength In the
suspension and whirling act. She
possesses more strength In her jaw
than most OF men have In their
arms. The performance on the
slack wire by Miss Senole, was
something ont of the ordinary and
made great hit with the audience.
There was some very graceful
and daring bareback riding and
aerial work. The funny fellows
were very much In evidence with
some new conceits that appealed to
the disabilities. The band Is de-
servable of mention, as 1t was equal
to any similar organization on the
road. The music rendered was all
high class.
In the side show there were more
acts than are usually found In this
adjunct of the main show and those
iwho visited 1t found much to at
tract and hold their attention.
lSome of our sports or would-be
[sports, tackled the get.rich, quick
Igames that are always to be found
with an up to date circus. AS a
result they were a few dollars the
wiser long before the show was
lover. A man from Back Run was
1.-THE first victim and his name was
Buck, and he had every appearance
of being old enough to have known
better than to even attempt to
"buck" up against circus mans
game with the hope of beating 1t.
As consequence, the venturous
"bucking" OF Mr.. Buck, was the
means of him losing two crisp
"buck" bills.
All the towns and villages on
both sides of the Ohio river for
many miles around were represented
at the circus Saturday and every
body seemed to enjoy the occasion
immensely. 1t was also pay day
with the Carter Oh company, and
the large army of employees that
always assembled here on that date
to get their checks cashed and do
their shopping, availed themselves
Saturday of the opportunity to at
tend the shows. The best OF humor
and order prevailed throughout the
day. The circus Is at Parkersburg

Walter L. Main's great shows
exhibited here Saturday afternoon
and evening. 1t was an ideal day
for q circus. Jast warm enough to
bring out the crowds and cool
enough to make every thing comfor-
table under the mammoth canvas
The show appeared to possess the
same degree of attraction for the
young and old alike. There Is
something about the sawdust and
tinsel, the blare of trumpets, the
silded chariots, the bareback riders,
the clowns and the multitude OF
circus features, that tugs with
irresible force at the pulse strings
and silences the stereotyped
objections that "they are all alike. "

pal streets of the city. The para
phernalia made a very creditable
appearance when the lateness of the
season Is taken into consideration,
the parade was the best given
by any show that has visited Sisters
Vile In recent years. One very
amusing feature was the automo-
bile, which was pushed by horse.
1t made a great hit. The horses
were magnificent equine specimens
and all were In fue condition. The
horses are source of much pride

stock himself and devotes consider.

Rev. Hatch's
Farewell Sermon

Probably all of the membership
and good attendance of the friends
OF Rev G W, Hatch. were at the
Baptist church last evening to
listen to his sermon of farewell.
His text YVES most appropriate,
the theme being, "For when I
came among We I sought to know
nothing but Christ and Him cruel
fed" Rev. Hatch during his
pastorate of three and a half years
here has strengthened In every way
and made lasting impression for
good. He has the respect and
friendship of all who have known
him and his departure Is sincerely
regretted by his church and by the
people of this city.
The OIL Review has nothing but
the most kindly feeling and pro-
found respect for this deeply re.
ligious, unassuming and cultured
christian gentleman. As before
stated, we sincerely regret that
Rev. Hatch Is to leave. He
has accepted call to the first Baptist
church at Edinboro, Pa, near TO
the old home of both himself and
wife. We wish him all possible
success In his worthy calling.

THE reason Americans like the way the inspect

that with me. They depend their powers of
