There are many more big acts. Now
city and freshness are the keynote of
the performance and there are fifty
clowns to keep the audience in con-

The great feature of the show is of
course the newly added spectacle,
"Joan of Arc" with a trainload of
special scenery, costumes and stage
properties and cast of 1900 char
acters. There is also q ballet of 300
dancing girls, a chorus of 400 voices
and an orchestra of 100 solists. This
is the greatest dramatic and spectacu-
lar production ever presented in
America, enacted on a specially built
stage bigger than hundred ordinary
theatres. 1t is made portable so that
it can be erected in the main tent each
morning. This great entertainment is
given as an Introductory to the regu-
lar circus performance and entails no
extra charge of admission.
"Joan of Arc" tells a masterful
story from French history in a thrill,

wonderful illusion of tons of special
scenery and stage devices. In the

Jonesville News Letter.

Jonesville, Oct. 14.--The rain last
night was gentle and bountiful and
will help some of the late crops and
vegetables if we don't have killing
frost when it clears up.
There was a good deal of cotton put
on the market here last week and of
course this put some money in the
country, but the farmers are discour-
aged on account of the short cotton
crop and the decline in the price.
Farmers would have been very well
satisfied if the price had kept up to
eleven cents, but today it is only 1Oh
cents with downward tendency.
While our crops are sorry it is en-
couraging to read of the large cereal
crops that are being made this year
in the United States. The report has
it that it is the largest cereal crop in
the history of the country and if this
large crop can only be distributed over
the country there will be food enough
for us all.
l have heard it often how we'll the
people in the country lived in the old
en- times and what good country din
ners one would find in the country
homes. Well right here / want to saw
that the same good living is still in
evidence in the country home yet, the
good country dinners are. to be found
in all the rural districts. 1t was my
pleasure to attend an old folks meet
ing by invitation yesterday at New
Hope church. The meeting followed
just after the Sunday School services
and was much after the order of the
old time Methodist class meeting.
Talks were made by Messrs. j. w.
Scott, B. w. Whitlock, M. c. Gault
and myself, and the services were to
my mind just the thing that would be
helpful for all our churches. After
the meeting closed I was taken in
charge by my friend, brother and
comrade, j. w. Scott, and escorted to
his home near by the church where
one of the sumptuous old time country
dinners was served and where every
thing about the home was in it's place
and how l did enjoy such hospitality
in the rural, quiet, peaceful home.
There were no passing trains nor town
hustle or noise. No crowds going to
meet the train at the station or gath
ering around the post Office or the
drug stores talking politics. When I
was over in Georgia a few weeks
since, in little town, I said to my
host, who was my brother-in-law,
How many inhabitants have you in
your town." and he replied: "I don't
know, but we can find out this evening
by going down to the depot when the
train passes and count them, for they
will all be there" Well, 1 didn't let
on, but thought that his remarks
suited some places over here in
South Carolina.
Mrs. Sam Moore, Mrs. yYalte..
Query and two Misses Vernon, all
from Wexford, were the guest of Mrs.
Geo c. Wood last week. They were
in attendance upon the Woman's Mis-
sionary union at the Presbyterian
church.
The board of school trustees of our
graded school were the guest of Mrs.
L. j. Foster for tea last Friday even
