Every Seat 4 Good One.

/ Cole Brothers World Toured Shows
which will be here Sept. 2S, enjoy the
proud distinction Of being the one show
that spares neither money nor ex'
perience in caring for their patrons
They have taken advantage of every
modern appliance to do this and in every
possible way have considered the com
| fort and safety of the thousands who
visit them. The old time worn circus
seats have been abolished and in their
stead, roomy backed seats with easy
foot rests. Every seat is so situated
that an unobstructed view can at all
times be had of the three rings and ele-
waited stages and no act is given that
cannot be seen from any part OF the
huge tent Less than one quarter of
the seating space is reserved and this
grand stand section is provided with
individual chairs, all of which are
mum bered and only tickets sold to cor
respond with these numbers. At no
time is standing room sold. To see
that every one is provided with seats,
there are over fifty uniformed ushers in
attendance whose UNDIVIDED attention is
given to the patrons and ladies and
children may attend any of the per-
formances unaccompanied by escorts or
chaperones and feel assured that they
will be courteously cared for. The uni
formed attendants in the menagerie,
horse fair and other departments are
under orders to answer all pertinent
questions politely and intelligently and
patrons may at all times seek informa-
ton knowing it will be furnished them
willingly and politely. At night the
tents are all lighted with the showss
own system of lighting, and are made
as bright as when lighted by the sun s
rays. Not only is this true as to the
tents, but the streets leading to them
and the grounds surrounding them.
The show carries its own corps of ex-
perienced detectives who work in con-
nection with the local authorities to keep
characters away from the
show grounds. This show is absolutely
free from all games and gambling de-
vices and patrons may feel as safe when
N attendance as when seated by their
OWN tiresides.

Accidentally Killed.

At Terrell last Friday afternoon a sad
accident occurred in which a young man
named David Brewer was horribly in
iured and from the effects of which he
died early Monday morning.
1t seems that Mr.. Brewer had been
blowing in field near his home. Com
pleting his work he attempted to mount
the animal, a mule, for a ride to the
house. The mule became frightened
and Mr.. Brewer fell, entangling one
foot with the gear, and was dragged
several hundred yards, being badly
bruised and mangled.
He was about % years old and was
a brother of D. A. Brewer, agent at Ter
rell. He leaves young wife, having
been married only few months.

The Right Way To Farm.

Exhibits of Agricultural Products will
make one of the strongest features OF
the fall fair at Union City September
80 to October 2, 1909. Country ex-
hibits and individual exhibits will be in
Agricultural Hall from all parts of this
section. Corn, grain, hay-in fact
everything raised on farm will be
shown, and it will show others what they
can do. The section has an advantage
over any other part of Tennessee when
it comes to natural conditions for agri-
culture. The one crop idea is now in a
fair way to be abandoned, and when it
is, prosperity will make its permanent
home in Tennessee. Don't forget to get

Moses, Prince Of Egypt. .

Moses, one of the most notable figures
OF all history, is the central figure in q
new biblical romance by Henry Thorn
Hum, entitled Moses, Prince Of
Egypt, which will be seen at the
Reynolds Opera House Friday night,
Sept. "a.
The great history of this man is one
fraught with deep romance and with
great consequence to the world. He
was the son of Amram, of the family of
Kohath, the son of Levi, and of Joche-
bed, of the same tribe. AT the time of
his birth there were two other children
in the home. One of these was Miriam,
who was a half-grown girl, and Aaron,
boy of three years. The story of how
Moses was preserved from death and
found by the daughter of the Egyptian
king as she was bathing is known to
all people who are in any manner fa-
mlliar with biblical history. The history
of the life of Moses during his forty
years at the Egyptian Court is shrouded
in silence, for the most part, but Mr..
Hum, the author of the play has been
able, through arduous research to bring
to light some of the story of that time,
and he has woven it together in his
drama with telling effect.
The story has to do with the early life
Of Moses in Egypt, and also with his life
in INDIAN, where he met and won Zippo-
rah, the daughter of Jethro. After
Moses was in INDIAN, Egyptian spies
came and tried to apprehend him, but
hey were driven back and away from
INDIAN. The play takes the salient
eatures in the life of the great man,
md is filled with dramatic situations and
With unique scenes.
The virile young actor, William
emile, who for the past few years has
,een playing Edmond Dantes in Monte
1risto, +" is creating something of SEN
alton with his delineation of the part

Are our merchants prepared to meet
the competition, constantly growing

course the bargains at home are better
when you consider that the home mer-

the chance to return goods that are not

forgets this trade has to be drummed,
and the only efficient drummer for the
home merchant is the local newspaper.

probably different meaning for each
of these types OF individuals and yet

1t is something not found in amy ad-

ITO the farmer industrial education
means education that will fit the boy
to become a more effective farmer and
that will present Inducements to him
to remain upon the farm; % the
manufactures II means training that
will give him skilled workmen and
more efficient foremen and superin-
+, tendents; and TO some OF them II
means the kind of scientific training
which fits one for the research work
for the discovery of new or improved
industrial processes. To the profess
sionai man 1t means rather indefinite
broadening of educational opportuni-
ties; to the student of education II
may mean any one or all OF these
