Rev. Bruce Nay has declared that
the birthday celebration of last Fri
day, when he and Mrs. Nay were the

the best one he has ever enjoyed.
The event was staged at the home Of
Mr.. and Mrs. E. B. Grigsby on South
GrGant street. Ostensibly, spend
the-day and sewing party for the
Loyal Daughters society, invitations
were quietly extended to other adult
classes of the church to join in a
cafeteria dinner, so that company
of sixty were assembled at the dinner
hour. A long table spread on the
back porch held the delicious foods
and at either end were smaller tables,
one for the dishes and one for the
cold drinks and dessert.
Two doors facilitated the passing
of the guests to and from the porch
and they arranged themselves COM
fortably about the house and porches
as soon as served and had most de-
lightful time.
An address of appreciation for the
work of Rev. Nay as their pastor was
given by Mr.. ]. F. Davis. Following

MAGNIFICENT STREET I.
DISPLAY One OF MANY
FEATURES CHRISTY BROS

The circus is one of the big things
of America that has made the travel !.
ing observer pause and think. The
marvellous system which achieves the
building of we'll ordered village and
population of one thousand in the
hours of early dawn each day, and
packs up and Fe-estabhshes itself
miles away for the next breakfast,
has attracted, the serious study Of .
military chiefs and other leaders of
great bodies of men, and huge RlSea+
ness institutions. 1t is this mATVs
Gus management that draws multi
tudes of people to the train yards to
witness the unloading Of Christy
Bros. big five ring wild animal shows.
The great caravans are unloaded
with dispatch, and the circus man

mendous equipment upon the show
lots glide gently and efficiently into
the place allotted for individual duty.
It takes special trains to carry the
Christy Bros. colony from town to, !:
town. Everything must be spic and
ready for the daily parade, starting
from the circus grounds at noon
The several hundred horses that take
part in this big spectacle are freshly
, groomed every morning, and the
! thousand or more men, women and
children are alert and contented
, looking in the gorgeous pageant.
This street display rises above all
other efforts of the kind for fasci-
mating detail, magnificent display and
extraordinary length. Most circus
! parades are firing affairs, because OF
! the unkempt expression of people
and things The horses are apt to
be slow-moving and worn, and the
people,, as rule, strongly suggest
the idea of strenuous times. At last,
thanks to the able management OF
the Christy Bros. Shows, this is
changed, and the morning OF circus
day a procession winds It's way over
the business streets of the town that
is worth much inconvenience 20 see,
and that is altogether superior 70 any
thing Of the kind ever organized be-
fore.
Hundreds of graceful women riders
modishly gowned; expert men riders
mounted upon blue-blooded and high
stepping equines; scores of open ami
NAL dens; merry groups Of oriental
mins⪕ oddly dressed clowns; sol
t der types; fairy-land ideals; resplen-
dent musical vehicles; gorgeous tab
leau floats; students, flower girls,
dancers; rough riders, Indians fash
ionable carts-in fact, this street
pageant is the most munificent and
magnifed display of circus glories
ever brought forward by amusement
enterprise. This feature alone costs
the management of the Christy Bros.
Shows million dsAars, and h an
imposing demonstration of their ire
mendous resources and determined
ambition to make this circus institu-
ton the greatest on earth.
! Two performances will be given
here at two o'clock in the afternoon
and eight o'clock in the evening on
Friday, September 18th.
