that Juvenars Stadium Shows

and the finest swing ever seen.
The shows are splendid, Mr..
Juvenal, the manager, sees that
all his people are courteous to
the public. He invited all school
children in the big show free the
first night, and after doing some
of the most wonderful acts In
feats of strength and science.

the evils of cigarettes, liquor and
courtesy that was masterful and
left a lasting impression on their
young minds. Mr., Juvenal is a
Baptist minister, and if he
preached as good as he talks to

shows are benefit to town in
stead of a nuisance, as most

Bought An Automobile.

Entire Board Of Supervisors Of
Sharkey County Indicted.
Rolling Fork, Miss, Oct. 90
The entire board of supervis-
ors for this county was indicted
today by the grand jury for mis-
feasence in office. It seems that
they had been buying things
for the county without advertis-
ing for bids, according to law.
Among the things charged In
the Indictment is the buying of
an automobile. They were ar
rested today and gave bond. 1t
is not known yet whether they
will be tried at this term of
court or not. The indictments
and arrests were quite a surprise
and have caused lot of com
ment.-Commercial Appeal.
Had they not bought the Auto
MOBILE 1t would never have oc-
CURED to the grand jury that
they were violating the laws of
the State. Our board adver-
tises the letting out of bridges
and roads, but not for county
supplies, such as records. court
blanks etc. The trouble that
arise is that the laws that are
given officials are disregarded.
Business is run rather loosely,
surely not as a good business
man with his own money or
property.
