SUN BROS. CIRCUS
HERE NEXT MONDAY.

Strange sights and still stranger
animals wilfOe among the many
things that will be unloaded when
the big show train of the Sun
Brothers Worlds Progressive
Shows arrive in Hickman next
Monday morning.
This is the date of the appear
ance here of this well known a.
musement enterprise. Long be-
fore dawn the railroad yard will
be the center of attraction for
the younger generation of town
and many houshold will be
startled from its peaceful slum-
bers at an unseemly hour by the
tinkling of the alarm clock un-
der the pillows of the small boy.
In fact, a few comfortable beds
will be left undisturbed through
out the entire night, their usual
occupants preferring TO remain a
wake and thus run no risk of
missing the opportunity of wit
Messing the arrival and unloading
of these great shows The Sun
Brothers Shows for this season
have an all new equipment and
brand new plethora Of acts and
performances in all its depart
ments, in fact ii can truthfully be
said that it is an all new show.
The only recognizable thing of its
past seasons is the adherance to
their old time policy of never
allowing at any time or place any
gamblers, sure thing men, conf
dence games, fortune tellers, dane
ing girl show or anything In the
nature of "a roper-in-device. These
issues have never been tolerated
with this show nor will they ever
be countenanced. Two complete
performances will be given here
during their engagement and the
assurance is made that both Per
formances will be presented with
out any curtailment whatever.
Many new and novel free outside
exhibitions are offered this sea-
son and are said to be of an I'M
usually entertaining and thrill
err character.

AN APPEAL.
From State Campaign Chairman
J. @. Cantrill To The Demo-
Gratis Of Kentucky.

As you are doubtless aware 1T
takes a large amount of money
to pay the absolutely legitimate
expenses of a campaign. Even
the matter of postage is a big
item and TO prepare the cam
paign matter and mail il TO the
voters require a small army of
stenographers and typewriters.
The postage, preparation and
stationery of a single letter to
every voter i'm the State costs
$4,000 and all of them will have
been written to several times be-
fore the election. Besides there
are many other expenses that
must be met such as office rent,
office force expense, travelling
expenses for speakers, etc. The
Democratic party has no large
contributors to rely upon, no Wall
Street, no railroad managers. The
expenses of the campaign must
be met by the people as will
not seek the contribution of a
single corporation in the State.
President Wilson, supported by
a Democratic Congress, has a
chieved more in the last three
and a half years of control than
was ever before achieved in ten
times as many years by any adj
ministration. Its useless to enum-
crate the list of splendid laws
that have been passed on the
statute books which have vitaliz-
ed the nation. The people owe it
to President Wilson and to them
selves to retain him in office to
continue the good work he is do
ing.

turned to the cell in Henrico County
which he has occupied for the last two
weeks He will be removed shortly
to the penitentiary and later to the
death house in which he will spend
his last few days in life.
The crime was one OF the most bru-

ter that section had been aroused by
the outrage every foot OF territory
between Blackstone and Petersburg

found escape futile. he came out oil

automobile to Richmond. He con-
fessed his guilt shortly after his cap
ture.

porter tells of another luncheon he
attended given to the Russian Journal
lists. To his surprise, every one of

Hitch For Wjr@ Eere@,

There are numerous methods OF ut
taching wire fencing TO concrete posts.
Some makers place staples or wire
loops in the green concrete: others
make holes In the posts. The former
method Is not desirable because the
fastener cannot be located exactly
where the wire of the fencing will
come when the post is set in the
ground. Then. too, the fastener will
eventually rust or break OF and will
thus injure the looks Of the post. On
the other hand, holes through the posts
weaken them, and therefore this meth.
cd Is I'm general unsatisfactory.

way of fastening a wire fence to a con.

Officials were quick to see in the
incident that an opportunity had been
created for Germany to withdraw Its
ambassador on the ground of the so
called affront to the government. This
might beeloud the issues that has been

The responsibility of the severance
of relations would thus be fixed upon
the American government and the

placed upon the basis of maintaining
the honor of Germany.

The United States government is in
possession OF this information and 1t
Is for Federal officials to make these
names public. In fact. the govern
ment has obtained a great many more
facts regarding the Mexican and Ger
man publications than it has revealed.
Why has the United States suddenly
taken the offensive and in the face of
serious development in Mexico had
Captain Won S'apen indicted? The
underlying reason IS that the Federal
