cart-wheels, flops, and every kind of
locomotion involving these principles
They put their act on in whirlwind
style, and keep up the excitement by
series Of desert boots and calls. In
their pyramid building they are won
ders, and their act Is one OF the very
best that has been put on here for a
long time.
The big tent show will be staged
every day at $50 ana every evening
at 8:15 o'clock, The show deserves
a good patronage during the entire
week.
Change in Attractions.
The committee this morning decid-
ed to change RAMA and Arno, the
clowns Of the tent show to the plat
form on Main street and to put Cor
don and Revini inside the big top.
This act will add greatly to the
vaudeville show inside, and will give
these artists chance to do some
extra work. They have ring act
which they can put inside the big
tent, and will add to the merit of
the program.
Rama and Arno had an accident
with their paraphenalia last night,
and only put on part OF their show.
The committee believes it will be a
better show for the street and will
add considerable comedy to the free
acts. The men will work on the
platform between Seventh and Eighth
streets.

We passed q summer without
bathing beach or new park site II
Nauvoo and now we will pass win
ter without an interurban railroad
running through this old town.
Mr. and Mrs. Roy Argast returned
to Chicago last Saturday after a two
weeks visit with relatives in Nau
VOC.
Grandly and freely we testify tina
there is no lovlier town on eartf
than Nauvoo and after each visit U
1t. one feels more sharply than before
the fairness, the crudeness and tht
lack OF charm OF the cities. But ths
cities are for the people who nave
made their pile"
Donald Beger and wife, the newly
WEEDS, have returned to Nauvoo from
their honeymoon trip.
Chas. Koechli and family OF Nau
VOC, have moved to TT. Madison
where their son and daughter will at
tend school during the winter.
Clyde Brugger IS no longer con
nected with the Nauvoo Independent
force He will leave this week fol
San Francisco, Calf. and will go te
his brother who is linotype operator
and learn the secrets of this kind Of
machine.
1t will not be long now until the
country weeklies will say pay up
Pumpkins taken on subscription.
Many from out Of town transacted
business In Nauvoo last Saturday
Quite a number of people from
Nauvoo seem to think that anything
a trained nurse eats, does or falls
for must be o. X. So many OF them
have been in the Keokuk and FIT
Madison hospitals.
Nauvoo's city council members met
in regular session last Monday
evening.
Herman Berger, Jr., has had the
rooms in the building next to J. M
Schmidt's saloon reprinted and pa
pered and opened restaurant. l,
now presents a pleasing appearance
and inviting to the hungry public
He no doubt will get his share OF
patronage.
1t is said that the young rabbit
crop in Nauvoo and vicinity is large
and there will be lots of sport shoot
ing the cotton tails this winter:
Harry Hudson and wife will oc
cupy the Selwyn Wyies farm IN
Sonora township next March.
Geo. Buckert of Nauvoo will be
one of the petit jurors IN the circuit

there this month.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Pitt OF Tulsa

their home city to Nauvoo in thei1
fine, large touring car.
Have you put them on yet?
Nauvoo is making progress. We
have not had case of infantile par

scrap of paper?"
Morris Seigelmeyer who is engaged

H.. came to Nauvoo to spend last
Sunday with his mother and friends.
Now we have October and the
month has five Sundays and Hal
lowe'en.
Looks like as if we might have a
touch of Indian summer.
Nothing is ever accomplished with
out enthusiasm; this applies both to
people and the Nauvoo interurban
line project.
This weather does not carry an
indefinite guarantee. Get your coal
in before you need it. But it is safe

An unusually good program Is Offer
ed in the big tent at Fourth and
Johnson streets as the big attraction
OF the Keokuk fall festival. A good
sized crowd saw the opening shows
Yesterday. The tent was two-thirds

one which was enjoyed by everyone.
The seating arrangements In the tent
are very satisfactory, and 1t Is pos
sible to see and hear from every sec

The program opens with Liberati's
band, directed by that famous band
master, A. Liberati. The band IL

1t is extremely interesting to watch
the veteran director talk to his men,

The opera troupe. composed of five
women and three men sing three se-

Their singing is quite a feature of the
program. They are accompanied by
the band, and directed by Liberati.

TALK GOOD ROADS
AT MEET MONDAY

} Little Rock, Oct 14.-Another meet
ing of the Arkansas Association of
Motor clubs, will be held in Little
Rock Monday, the opening day Of the
Pulaski county fair, for the purpo Sc
of adopting a constitution and partic-
ipating in the fair.
|. The motorists Of Arkansas have
formed this association to work foe
better roads, better marking of the
roads, to secure legislation that will
improve the roads or conditions OF
motorists, and to promote closer re-
|lationship between the automobile
owners of the various counties by Wis
it's from one county club to the other.
. Another reason for the organization
of the state association is for the en-
tertainment Of visiting motorists, who
are touring thru Arkansas. They fig
IRE that if these tourists are shown
the principal points of interest, and
the resources Of the state are explain
ed to them, they will spread the Cos
Ppel over the world, while they would
only go on their way with a bad taste
/ in their mouth, if shown no attention
whatever.
When the organization is perfected
Monday, an effort will be made to
organize every county of the state,
and have that county or city organi-
cation affiliate with the general state
convention.

FARMING BY CORPORATIONS.

a. G. Wells, noted British writer,
ONCE wrote fantastic tale that at
tempted to forecast that in the future
all persons would live in the cities
and towns and that farming would
be done by great corporations.
There is no suggestion of this pos
sibility in Jefferson county. There
may be drift to the cities or to Pine
BLUM. but it is not SO noticeable as
to occasion alarm.
Ann as for big corpoi atoms taking
to farming-this isn't at all probable.
There will have to be more money
in Il. Corporations are by nature toe
conservative to go farming. The risks
that soil-tillers must take are too
great the risks of the wrong kind
Of weatherC, poor crops, low prices.
Corporations have a better time OF
It staying in the cities, fixing the
prices at which the farm produce is
70 be bought, and fixing the prices at
which il is to be sold. There's where
the, money lies! Mi

ESCAPING ILLNESS.

A local physician said the other
day that most of the illness in Pine
Bluff is due to stomach trouble; and
stomach trouble, he said, mostly
Games from decayed teeth; and devay-
ed teeth come from failure to use
toothpicks and the toothbrush after
meals; and this wouldn't be necessary

we concluded that the best way to
avoid stomach trouble was not to eat

DIRECTION TO IMPROVEMENTS.
EVERYBODY is in favor of community
improvements until it comes to paying
for them. In fact, ii it were not
for the cost, Pine Bluff and other pro.
gressive cities would have everything
It aeeds.
Il is necessary for community tc
combat this spirit on all sides In
order to forge ahead. And withal, il
is q good thing that Checks and
balances" as regards improvements
exist. If it were not SO, unwise ex-
penditures, based on dreams Of mu-
nicipal perfection, would be quite the
rule.
But there are some improvements
over which there should be no divi-
sion Of thought, just as some things
are SO necessary about residence
orr mans; personal appearance that
an attitude of parsimoniousness there
to would be regarded as foolish.
Among those who object to ex-
pending money in g municipality un-
til public opinion and dire necessity
forces them are railroads. The man
ner in which even the greatest and
richest railroads oppose new sta
tions, bridges and other essentials is
well known. 4
Corporations must be forced to act
fair and square, however. Town i'm
provement and Identification is one
Of the vital topics in the history OF
present-day American municipalities
and nothing should be permitted tc
stand in the way of sane, logiea
development along these lines.

So are the opponents of Amendment
No. IL. The adoption of the amend

help lots of districts by permitting
them to add to their revenues. The

Locating Orchards.

In many counties in Arkansas farm
| ers are now planning to set out
new peach or apple orchards, either
| as new ventures or to take the place
of old ones. Unfortunately, thousands
/ of peach orchards are almost ruined
because of neglect of the owners to
spray for the San Jose scale and other
troubles. They are now learning the
lesson Of spraying and will save many
acres by this work.
The location of an orchard is i'm
portant, first as to soil, slope and
general lay of land. Orchards should
not be located without due regard t.
the future spraying as this is abso-
lutely necessary. Orchards need good
soil, land should be almost or quite
free from stumps and big rocks that
would interfere with the spraying ma
chimes or the wagon.
Then the distance from the railroad
station is too important to be over
looked. Fruit must be delivered to
the distant market in good condition
and there i must be delivered to the
home station in good condition Peach
orchards should not be too far from
the station unless reads are unusual
ly good. Six miles in Arkansas
should usually be the limit for haul
ing peaches for distant shipping. Or
chard men should be boosters" for
good roads.
Farmers who. want to put out new
orchards should write to Professor
W. H. Wicks. college of agrie 1ture,
Fayetteville, for plans and sugges-
tions.
