SPARKS CIRCUS
TO SHOW HERE
MONDAY, OCT. 13
Peanuts and pink lemonade will
soon be ripe and the odor of new
mown saw-dust will penetrate the air.
The Sparks Circus, on its 33rd annual
tour, has already been in fourteen
states and sixty Canadian cities since
April Ist, will exhibit here on Mon
day, October 13. This city may then
blink at the fascinating splendors of
a m : le-long street parade, revel in the
surpassing delights of a collossal new
pageantric spectacle and tremble for
the safey of gracefully daring per
formers in rings, stages and a wilder
ness of aerial apparatus.
The time-honored custom has been
to distinguish each successive year’s
circus as “bigger and better than
ever before.” The phrase has been
so trite, however, that the Sparks
circus hesitates to repeat it, despite
the conviction that it adequately de
scr'bes this season’s entertainment.
Monotony, routine and repition hav e
been so completely eliminated that
old-timers will rub their eyes in
astonishment.
A mammoth private car carrying
the advertising equipment and a crew
o r twenty billposters, arrived last
night from Vidalia. Today the city
and all parts of the surrounding
country within a 25-mile radius is.

Nineveh’s Pathetic Ruins.
Past Mosul the river Tigris rolls its
ancient, almost legendary, waters and
opposite on the left bank, the dream
of antiquity continues undisturbed.
There in the blazing sun or in the
shimmering Persian moonlight, lie the -
ruins of Nineveh, the last and greatest
capital of the Assyrian empire. The
wall of the disappeared city still stands
to a height of 50 feet and is 12 miles ;
in circumference. Close by the bank
of tlie river are the still imposing re- i
mains of two citadels. - !

BAPTISTS HERE
TO TAKEPART IN
RALLY ATALBANY
ALBANY, Sept. 30.—Thursday af
ternoon and evening will be a big oc
casion for the Baptists of Southwest
: Georgia, when a big rally will be held
j at the municipal auditorium here in
the interest of the Baptist 75-Million
Dollar Campaign. A number of
Americus and Sumter county Baptists i
are expected to attend. I
The rally will begin at 5 o’clock
in the afternoon when there will be 1
i a laymen’s meeting at the auditorium, 1
; and a woman’s meeting at the First
I Baptist church. Mrs. W. J. Neel will
i have charge of the woman’s meeting,
' while speakers at the men’s meeting
will be Messrs. J. H. Anderson, Ely R.
Callaway and U. T. Smalley.
From 6:30 to 7:30 there will be an
adjournment for lunch.
At 7:30 the big rally of the day
will occur when Dr. George D. Truett,
pastor of the First Baptist church of
Dallas, Tex., will speak. Dr. Aren
C. Cree, state director of the cam
paign, is also on the evening pro
gram.
Dr. Truett is recognized as one of
America’s greatest pulpit orators,
standing at the head of the list among
the preachers of his denomination in
the South and measuring up to any
of the other denominations. His ap
pearance here is sure to be the cause
of thousands gathering here Thurs
day afternoon and evening.
The meeting here is one of many
being held in all parts of the state in
the interest of the tremendous cam
paign the Baptist denmination now
has underway. The meeting here is
a regional one for the entire South
western portion of the state and Bap
tists throughout this section are urg
ed to be here that day and hear the
great leaders in their church.
Local Baptists are making elabor
ate plans for entertaining thousands
of visitors here that day, which prom
ises to be the biggest day in the his
tory of the Baptist church in this sec
tion. The meeting had to be arrang
ed at the early hour set because Dr.
Truett and other members of the
party must leave on the 9:05 train
that evening.
The roster of speakers contains
many men and women noted in the
work of the Baptist church, besides
Dr. Truett, and it is believed the ral
lies here will be largely instrumental
in this section’s doing its full part in
the 75-Million-Dollar Campaign.
James W. Lott, publicity director
here for the Baptist campaign, stat
ed today that it was desired that as ■
