ThE CIRCUS PAR lDE.
Norris & Rowe Promise to Make One
 This Season on a Grander Scale.


 When the circus trust annouuc- ed last season that they had de cided to omit the circus parade, 1t was thought by a large mum Der of people throughout the country that the declaration meant all circuses would in future omit this attractive feature. It IS stated positively 5y the agents of Norris & Rowe that their show is one that will not omit the cir GUS parade. Norris & Rowe Go not belong to the ''circus trust" ana when they were approached by member of the ''combine" urging them to omit the parade in future on account of the ex- peuse, the young western show men emphatically declined. Their contention was that the parade was as time honored au institu- ton as the very circus itself and as long as the public found en- Joyment in the street spectacle they would continue giving it.. This season, to show their an tal onlsm towards the big "circus trust' they have involved a free street display on a more liberal scale thap ever before. The long line of dens and cages containing the wild beasts will be thrown opeu; the costumes of the riders are new and picturesque. Camels, Hams, elephants, dromedaries, etc, will be lead in the process sion. Beautiful new tableaux- floats and handsomely carved wagons will be shown. There will be four bands of music on big new carved bandwagons. There will be speclal big wagon containing the host of clowns and other fun makers. All the thoroughbred racing stock will De exhibited, in fact every essen- tial 10 the making of a glorious free street spectacle will be shown on the morning of the day of ex- hlbition in this city. The parade will serve to show, iu some small measure, how greatly the Norris & Rowe circus has enlarged over that of last season

s. Sleeper Has Decided to Make His New Hotel the First Three.Story
 Brick in Mena.

The new hotel building going up on the corner of. De Queen street and Port Arthur avenue when completed will have the distinction of being the first three story brick building in the city.
 Mir.

Contractor Pullz is now getting out the frames for the third story ard the brick and other material for this change have been ordered.
 This change of pluns shows Mir. Slecper's confidence in the future of Mena and will prove a profitab ble investment.

Government Sues for Timber Payment

The government has filed a suit against Fred A. Smith to recover the sum of ESQ, the value of some timber purchased by 5 nth from a man who cut it from government land.

There is anol her like suit pend- ing against Smith to recover something like $500 for timber purchased by him from tres passers on government land.- Fort Smith Times.
