s. s. Wilson Finds Parcel Post Boon
 to Mount NebO Visitors.

Mr. and Mrs. Sextus S. Wilson and baby have returned from a summer sojourn at Mount Nebo, Arkansas.
 The advantages of the parcel post to residents of and visitors at Mount Nebo are demonstrated by Mr. Will sons experience. He sent by express to Dardanelle one package, the charge being $1. That was reasonable, but the bus operators are in league, and it cost MT. Wilson as much to get the package hauled five miles from Dardanelle to Mount Nebc as it did to have it transported from Pine Bluff to Dardanelle. The postoffice being on top of the Mountain, MT. Wilson has found it convenient and economi- cal to divide bis luggage into sepa- rate packages and send them by par eel post
 The charges of bus operators a; Dardanelle are working to the detri- ment of the railroad and express com panies, says MT. Wilson, causing those familiar with the situation to trave in their own automobiles. and thus avoid payment of the eXorhitart fees

WOMAN CLOWN COMING WITH ROBINSON CIRCUS

With the John Robinson circus which comes to Pine Bluff for exhi- bitions Monday, September 24, is pret- ty Rose DeMarr, the only woman clown in the United States She heads the Robinson clown contingent of fifty, and woman-like, takes most of the applause.
 Two years ago this freak of the sawdust arena was plain Rose Daugh- erty. She lived in the prosaic viii lage of Selma, Ind. and fed the chick ems, attended church socials and watched the fast Big Four trains slip by the little village frame depot with out stopping.
 She was just small town girl. Then romance knocked at the doors of her heart with the coming of husky bill posters who hung lurid posters announcing the coming of the John , Robinson circus to Muncie, six miles away. A peculiar thrill ran up and down that country girls spine. She just knew something was going to happen. And it did. Rose went to the show with her parents and all the villagers who were not lame and blind.
 Big Fred DeMarr, the boss clown, was there in his grotesquc makeup Rose winked at him and he winked right back. After the show the man and the maid met and it was case of love at first sight.
 Three months later the circus clos ed it's season and DeMarr journeyed to Selma. He had a long talk with Rose and another with her parents 1 A minister was called in and DeMarI took his sentence with smile.
 Then he made clown out of his wife,
