London. Oct. l3.---The Germans
have landed troops on the islands

These Islands AFFORD an easy access
to the mainland over small interme-
diate Islands at a point that Is about
200 miles from Petrogrsd.
The situation ON the Russian front
is full Of important possibilities. The
landing OF German troops at the
head Of the gulf from which point
a railroad runs direct to Reval. the
Russian naval base on the Gulf Of
Finland and from there to Petro-
grad. is looked upon as one OF the
important moves OF recent months.

ROsEDALE DOES HER BIT
FOR WAR LIBRARY.

The daily papers are full of re-
ports from the War Library Fund
campaign now in progress through
out the United States. This fund
is to be used entirely for the pleas
ure and benefit of the enlisted me,;
of our army. 1t is absolutely
essential to provide reading Mat
ter for the soldiers, and this War
Library will prove great blessing
to our lonely. home5ick boys, and
serve as a relief to the great strain
each and every man is under.
Rosedale was asked to contribute
to this. fund at the rate of S per
cent of her white population. We
are glad to state to our readers
that Mrs. Walter Sillers, Sr,, who
was appointed by the State Direc-
tor of this fund to collect for Rose
dale. reports having sent our as
sessment of $4,000 on to head
quarters in Washington. A record
of names of contributors in Missis-
sippi will be filed in Historical
Department in Jackson. The name
of every cne giving Sl.0O. the
price of a book, will be inscribed
on fly leaf of book in the War
Library. SO that every one giving
the price of book has a chance
te provide pleasure for the soldiers.
In letter from Mr.. Davis, State
Director, he says if every town in
Mississippi was as prompt and
willing to give their pro rata as
was Rosedale, that the raising of
the amount assessed to Mississippi
would be more than realized. We
hope every town in Bolivar county
will respond to this call by the
Government for our soldiers.

GREATEST CIRCUS
is C0MIAG SOON
Barnutn and Bailey Show Will
Positively Exhibit in Green
vile on Octoberi 10th.

There is going to be a real circus
day this year-a Barnum & Bailey
circus day. Advance guards of
the greatest show on Earth an
nouncs that this seasons rohte
carries it close enough to be visited
by everybody in this vicinity.
Thirty acres Of tents will be set,
and the big show will be exhibit
ed in Greenville, October 10th.
4 wonderful new program is
ptomiced, and is claimed that this
season the monster entertainment
has more and better things to show
than ever before. Starting with a
magnificent pageant entitled +,
Aladdin and His Wonderful
Lamp" the circts will occupy
three hours or more with events
in air. on platform, and in rings,
and in the huge hippodreme sur
rounding. Not one moment will
be lost in all the spaces of the
vast enclosure.
The opening feature is the first
attem pit at Chinese pageantry in
the history of American cireuses,
and it has been described as the
most gorgeous presentation ever
attempted. The story of the genie
slave of the magic lamp is too we'll
known to need description here
However, it may be we'll 10 call
attention to the possibilities for
display in coloring and magnif-
cent settings in the Chinese locale,
+, and to the fact that Barnum &
Bailey have spent 81, 100000 to
reproduce all of its glorious posi-
bilities.
The circus program, which fol-
lows the pageant, is made up al
most entirely of names and acts
new to the American public, the
cream of all continental circuses
having rushed to the big shows
European agents for booking on
account Of the closing of most of
the big foreign circuses. There is
complete Chinese circus. replete
with thrilling aerial acrobatic feats;
the famous Hanneford family,
champion riders of Europe. will
display their wonderful skill;
Signor Bagonghi. the dwarf bare
back rider. described as the eques-
trian comic of the century. will
thrill and convulse with laughter;
Pallenberg' wonderful bears will
ride on high bicycles, skate and
perform on the trapeze; there will
be more clowns than ever before,
aud in the menagerie will be seen
many new specimens of wild and
untamed animals. There are a
dozen of new baby animals in the
great zoo.
There will be more than one
hundred acts, and TO name and
describe them would occupy too
much space.
The parade. which is entirely
new, will start from the show
grounds as nearly 10 o'clock in the
morning as possible. 1t will be
three miles in length and there
will be six bands. three calliopes
and steam piano to create musie
for the marching throng.
