GREAT CIRCUS
is COMING
Sells FlotO will Visit Chickasha Mon
day August IS

A sudden downpour Of rain or a
long continued drizzle will have no
effect on the patrons Of the great
sells-Floto Shows when it exhibits
here. The reason Of this will be arr
parent to everyone who sees the huge
tents that will be erected here for the
performance. They are all construct
ed Of "mercerizel7 ducking. This
marvellous invention for the water
proofing Of material has been in use
Tor rain coats, but up to this year has
never been used for tents. People
who have used mercerzed' cloth
l.loo lv- Il sheds water, and was the
knowledge Of this that caused the
Sells-Floto shows to have all their
tents made Of this material 1t is
quite a stride in advance Of other
shows, but is only in keeping with the
progressiveness Of the management Of
these shows. Beneath these tents
spectators can sit in comfort and ease
during the heaviest Of rains and be as
as if in the finest theater in the
country. This is only one Of the many
novelties that have been added to
these shows this season.
1t is respectfully suggested that
the children attend the afternoon ex-
hibition where ample is given to view
the large meagerie, likewise avoid
ing the night crowds. Uniformed ush-
ers will attend to every want Of the
little folks and care and attention
paid to ladies and children is the first
consideration of the management.
The only big circus that will visit
here this year is the Sells-Floto shows
and the date is Monday, August the
18th.

General Robert E. Lee.

Many persons are not aware
that Gen. Robt. E. Lee, the lead
err of the Confederate forces in
the Civil war, was born after his
mother bad been laid in her cof-
fin, vet this is fact. For years
Mrs. Lee had been subject to a
peculiar form of catalepsy and
she fell into such deep sleeps at
times that it was somtimes i'm
possible to distinguish between
the trance and death.
On one occasion, after an I'M
usually long trance, she was pro-
nounced dead by a physician who
was not familiar with her condi-
ton, and actually placed in cof-
fin. During the funeral service
the sexton was alarmed by hear
ing muffled cries and the sound
of beating coming from within
the coffin. A dozen hands tore
off the lid, and Mrs. Lee was
found alive, tho half suffocated.
A year later Robt. E, Lee her
Youngest son. was born.
Had her trance lasted a few
minutes longer, the greatest and
purest character since Jesus
Christ, would have been lost to
history Was it Providence, or
