Gentry Bros. circus, free to the cir
Gus loving public, is the mammoth
street parade that passes through
the downtown streets at noon. Five
bands, two calliopes, beautiful tab
leau wagons, open dens of wild ami
mails, and many other irresistible
features are included in this gor-
geous spectacle of stupenduous
pageantry.

prise have always made the Gentry
Bros. welcome visitors 10 this COM
munity. This marvel, super show
of 10000 wonders, represents an In
vestment of three quarters of mil
lion dollars; two railroad trains arc
required to transport Il from city to
city; three rings and two elevated
stages are used in the main tent;
500 people, 800 horses, 400 wild an
imals from all corners OF the world;
two herds OF performing elephants;
80 aerialists;60 acrobats;30 clowns;
so riders of educated high school
horses-these are few of the at
fractions with this famous circus
founded and operated by the Gentry
Bros, since 1887. The program of
the Gentry Bros. circus is entirely
new this year, as it has always been
the custom of the Gentry Bros. nev-

artists twice. Chief among the
great aggregation of artists are The

Will some one over there in Bris-
tol township please take a clap
board and beat upon the side of
John Bells house, and wake him
up, and tell him that we have re-
ceived a letter from his old school
mate Burt Dye, who now resides at
Torrance, Calf
During the past few years we
have been quite lax about visiting
schools, particularly the closing day,
but last Friday, by special re-
quest, herculanean effort, some
what tardy, as of old, too late for
dinner, yet, we got there. We were
on the ground but a short time un
til the old enthusiasm for the sports
began to rekindle and in a short
time we were back to where MAUD
Muller raked the hay" Our school
here, for the need of much better
name is called "Circle A." being
the old Smith and Renrock schools
consolidated, yet it hasn't the en-
rollment that either one of these
schools had so years ago. There
are some reasons for this and one of
them is that the injunction given by
Theodore Roosevelt in his day, has
not been needed, but We'll let the
reader guess what that was.
We were very much interested in
the address given by Atty H. E. Fos-
ter of Seattle, before the Genealogi-
cal society of that city, and publish
ed in the Democrat recently. One
of the interesting features was the
part that the state of Ohio played
in the national conventions by offer
ing some good presidential timber
and then delivering the goods.

plicity of laws, but the moral law,
