The law directs that the Fiscal Court
should call the attention of the public
to chapter-94 of the Acts passed BY
the last session of the General Assem-
bly,. AS the enforcement of this law
is absolutely necessary for the construc-
ton and maintenance of the turn pixies
and dirt roads in the County, think it
proper that our good citizens should
know as soon as possible what the law
is.
First That they may not be guilty
of the violation of the act.
Second:-In order that they may give
every possible aid and assistance to the
properly constituted authorities in their
endeavors to construct and properly
maintain our public roads
1t is impossible for the supervisor of
the roads or the Fiscal Court to accom-

of the public roads without the cordial.

Prof. McDougle at Somerset.

Last week Prof E. G. Nc Dougle, Of
the State Normal conducted the Public
County Teachers Institute at Somerset.
The regular enrolment Of teachers
reached 203 with several honorary
members and scores of visitors. Great
crowds attended the night sessions.
This is the largest single county teach
ers institute in the State, and the teach
ers were unanimous in calling Prof.
McDougle back in 1911
The Somerset Times among other
items commencing the weeks work
had the following complimentary para
graphs: Supt. Barnes introduced Prof
McDougle, professor of Pedagogy in the
Richmond Normal school,. who was to
have charge OF the institute. The
teachers are indeed lucky III having
secured the services of such a learned
man. The Professor is an ideal man
for an institute. with his keen Irish
wit, he keeps the glad-we-are-her feel
ing among the teachers, while with his
ability as scholar, he is constantly
giving them bright thoughts that will
aid them in the schoolroom. About
sixty teachers, who at different times
have been in his classes at the Normal
college, are present.
Tuesday evening, Prof. McDougle
lectured from James Russell Lowell's
popular poem, "a Vision of Sir Laun-
fal'' which delighted the audience, and
many local people besides the
teachers were present. This was given
by special request and it proved sur
prise treat.

John Robinson Coming.

There is certainly no travelling enter
tainment in America, perhaps in the
world, which presents exhibition SO
varied, so attractive and so multitudin-
GUS as do the John Robinson Shows
Since the days of Noah more complete
menagerie has never been seen. Tradi-
tional, poetic and enchanting scenes
never before equalled or witnessed in
the gorgeous arenic display.
Every act in the monster program is
a revelation to the beholder. The finest
specimens of horse flesh in the world,
the highest aerialists in the circus pro-
fession, the champion riders, both male
and female, the finest specimens of the
cutest ponies in the world the grandest
Specialties ever exhibited; the funniest
clowns on earth are with the John
Robinson Shows.
Almost every circus claims to a show
that cannot be duplicated, and an ag-
gregation of performers the like of
NhlOh OduuOb Oc DAOuSllt lOSSlu6Is Dul
the fact is that every circus of any con-
sequence has double force and double
equipment
There are really two circus troupeS
which have to travel about. The leap
ers are liable to injury. A sprained
ankle will put one of the best performers
out, and there must be a man to take
his place. Possibly the substitute will
make as great hit as the regular.
Even the performing horses have their
substitutes.
1t is fact not generally known that
the John Robinson Shows carry two
complete large canvases. In case one is
destroyed by fire or storm, another must
be ready to put up. When a failure of
performance entails loss of from 80
900 to $780, 900 for expenses, the matter
becomes serious.
The big shows come here Thursday.
