RINGING
Shows Are to Be Down at
Fairmont Middle of
Next Month.

\ Ringing Broters' Circus and newly
added 100000 spectacle OF Joan OF
Arc" will exhibit in Fairmont on
Thursday. May 16.
/ The spectacle in itself is an at
traction that should bring thousands
of visitors from the surrounding
country. 1t is beyond question the
greatest production OF It's kind ever
seen in America.
The worlds most skillful scenic
artists. costumers, property-makers,
chorus directors and stage managers
were engaged to mount the produc-
ton. A stage bigger than a hundred
ordinary theaters was built and made
portable SO that it can be conveyed
from town to town and erected each
morning in the main tent. Thus the
circus proprietors have made it pos
stble for those who live in contribu-
tory towns as we'll as in the large
cities 10 see this magnificent wordless
play with its cast OF 1,2O0 characters,
ballet of 300 dancing girls, grand
opera chorus OF 400 voices, 600 horses
and a train load of special scenery,
costumes, properties ami mechanical
devices for producing such stage eff
fects as thunder. lightning. storms,
fires, and the sound of battle.
In the old market place. OF Rouen
France, there now stands monument
by which the French of today have
sought to redeem their part in the
execution of Joan of Arc, who on
May 80, 1881, was burned to death
on the false charge of heresy after
having delivered her country from
the English and having restored the
crown to Charles VII. History re-
cords but the meager facts OF this
strange heroine of eighteen years.
who led the armies OF France victor
ious through English invasion. and
then. deserted by all. even the indo-
lent monarch whom she preserved.
died by the cruelest torture known
with the name OF the master upon her
lips. Unsung in poetry the name Of
this simple peasant girl has come
down through the ages to be revere
as that OF saint, and whose wonder
full powers and whose bravery are
verify believed to have been of divine
inspiration.
On the triumphant incidents. the
victorious engagements, the final de
feat of the English armies, and the
coronation Of Charles VII, ali
achieved by the frail Maid of Orleans
has been founded the inspiring spec
tacle which gives Ringing Brothers
circus a new significance and makes
an attraction such as, the world in
searching for amusement has never
before found.
The regular circus program is more
than ever attractive. It's company Of
S75 foreign artists, its double menag-
erie and its new street parade will
prove a great surprise to those who
attend from this city. The event is
one that should not be missed.

'fMr. White is young man OF
unusual ability and energy. He
possesses high ideals and is perfectly
honest in all the relations OF life
II nominated for state senator he
will make a strong cadidate before
the people, and, if eelected, he will
serve the district with fidelity and
ability"
