GENTRY BROS. COMING
 TO PRESCOTT SOON

That smiling April skies have in- augurated the thirtieth season of the Gentry Brothers Famous Shows is a matter of local pride, for these eXh- Saturday, Sept. 29th, are the. ever increasingly successful products of enterprising and public spirited men of our own community.
 For over a quarter of century the name of Gentry has been heralded far and wide as the sterling mark of clean, progressive and diverting tent ed amusement. During those years, Arkansas people, and especially those in this community have watched the Gentrys build small but meritorious attraction into what is conceded by the most conservative to be "The Greatest Show on Earth for Chil- dren." Arkansas folk have taken an honest pride in the Gentry Shows and in the Gentry circus ideals. and well they might, for these shows and these ideals have been good, worthy and wholesome.
 Each year has witnessed some ad- vance in some department of the Gentry organization and this season will witness more improvement and elaboration in these celebrated shows than has any previous one.
 Gentry Brothers have gone about to surprise the home folk this season and it can be stated that the exhibitions will prove a revelation even to those persons most familiar with them.
 Thirty years of alert and discrim- mating showmanship have climaxed in the assembly of an arenc program, that must stand as a classic in point of Advertisement, novelty and cumu- lative entertainment, program that sparkles with the freshness of the un- expected. the beautiful and the unique

Old Man Makes Living Gathering

The other morning early, during q
mild shower, we stepped from our front
door and looked down the gloomy

Ing an umbrella and leisurely walk
Ing toward us, stopping every moment

Ohio State Journal.
We watched until he approached in

osity could stand 1t no longer, and so
we went out and asked what he was
gathering, when he held the bucket to
our gaze, and in 1t was gallon Of fish
worms that he had gathered from the
