WONDERFUL MIDWAY AGGREGATION
Johnny Jones Exposition Shows at the Southeastern Fair Pro
vides Amusement for Everybody
An amusement organization that
requires eighty cars to move it is
bovnd to contain a variety that was
ODlrnown to comparatively few years
Mgo and it may be said without fear
of contradiction that the Johny Jdnes
Exposition Shows which will furnish
the entertainment «©n the Midway of
the Southeastern Fair, October 12-21,
la the greatest of all carnival organiza
tion and also the cleanest from every
standpoint.
Jt has been the aim of Mr. Jones
through hte successful career to only
permit in his organization such shows
and attractions as are fit for every
body to enjoy. This array has a be
wildering number of freaks, novelties
And sensations in more respects than
•pe, but they are all clean and satisfy
the curiosity of respectable people or
they would not be shown. There are
twenty-five different attractions some
•f them being star features and never
fcetord exhibited at a fair in the south.
One of the big attractions is Essie
Fay’s society horse show with her
wonderful performer, Arabia, one of
the greatest equine, stars iu the world,
doing things that are very human.
There are also circus features that
can only be seen in large organiza
tions, including trained lions, tigers
and elephants with one lion who rides
horseback. Alongside this big
menagerie is the Wild West of Dakota
Max, the most complete show of it?
kind that is traveling today. Rough
riders, cow girls, bucking broncho*
with all the flavor of the round-ups ol
thfc great west of the past.
Other features are Etta Louis
Blake’s Superba; Consul the Great and
Lady Betty—those great apes which
have created interest and wondei
wherever they have been shown,
Stella, The Midget City—Jenson th<
great Magician—Serpentina The Fa'
Folks Chautauqua-^ver the Falls—
The Midgets — The Modern Siamese
Twins with an aiitodrome where Mile
Marie rides at the rate of a mile a

Then there are the rides—the Whip

Ferris Wheel, with the permanent
attractions of Lakewood Park, Which
include the new dancing pavilion
Giant Coaster, Old Mill, Four Ahrfeasi
Carrousel, Bug House, Circle Swing
Walking Charlie, Rifle Range and Os

The foregoing provides such t

admission.
NEGATIVE MAN NOT POPULAR
Habit Some Have of Always Looking
on Black Side of Things la to
Bo Deplored.
Is there a negative man among
ytur acquaintances? They are quite
common, and if there is one in your
circle you are fully aware of his ex-
istenae.
What is a negative man? He is
the man who always sees the nega
tive side, the black side, the deplor
able side;, the man who remarks,
"Did yon ever see 6uch a miserable
exhibition?” Or, “Did you ever hear
of such a tomfool tiling?” Or “Did
you see in this morning’s paper that
bullheaded statement?” and so on,
indefinitely.
The negative man is so from tem
perament or from habit or a mixture
of the two. It surely is a habit with
some people, and the habit is not
hidden beneath a bushel.
The dyed-in-the-wool negative
man must be very uncomfortable
company for himself to judge by his
customary conversation when with
others. One such negative man for
a period of two weeks was not heard
to open conversation with an affirma
tive remark.
The negative limn may not be
wholly tiresome, he may in fact be
.ci v amusing at times, hut. his negn-
■ncss is his dominant character-

Aboard President Wilson's Special
Train—From toe Capital at Washing
ton to the far Pacific ooast the Presi
dent of the United States hae tour
neyed on the most nnusaal expedition
ever undertaken by a obtef executive
of the nation.
To discuss national questions, many
presidents have toured tike land; but
Mr. Wilson Is laying before America
a question which affects the whole
world—the question of whether or not
we are to join in the League of Na
tions; whether we are to forget our
former Isolation and share with the
other peoples of the earth the reepon
ethtlitlee of maintaining civilisation
and preventing, as he eaye wo can do.
future warfare.
Between the capital and the coast
the president made fifteen speeches
and half a dozen brief talks. All of
100,000 fellow citizens listened to him.
Several millions had the chance to see
him, and apparently everyone wanted
to see him, from those who thronged
the streets of the cities and towns
where he stopped, to those who tame
to the rallslde or stood at little flag
stations In remote places, knowing
their only reward could be a fleeting
glimpse and a wave of the band.
He has met and talked to all typeB
of citizens—to men big In the busi-
ness, financial and professional worlds,
to tanners and mechanical workers,
to Indians and cowboys and foreign-
born herders and rangers, to eoldlers
and to mothers who lost soldier-sons
in the late war.
What do they all tell him? unani
mously they say they want peace
definitely settled, they want no more
wars, they want the League of Na
tions, and most of the American peo
ple, it may be fairly said, tell the
President they want the League just
•s It Is, without the reservations or
amendments which certain senators
have insisted upon. The majority of
citizens say to those 'who interview
them on this tour:
'Woodrow Wilson guided us rightly
hefbhe amid during the war with Ger
many. We entered that war, every
one egreee, to end all won. He says
the league can do that' 'We“want'to
do that, so let us keep on trusting him
and get the league' Into operation as
sobn as possible.' Forget politics."
Most Americans encountered on the
tour have forgotten politics Repub

of Conditions That Existed During
the Stone Age.
The Sahara desert was once well
watered and tortile, and hunters
from the Sahara plateau, moving
gradually down through a rift in
northeastern Africa, located where
Egypt now lies, according to Dr.
James Henry Breasted, professor of
Egyptology and Oriental history,
University of Chicago.
Doctor Breasted said that this all
happened about the time of the
Stone age. Egypt was then one huge
lake, but it gradually drained out
into the Mediterranean, leaving the
Nile valley. Here the hunters were
afforded every natural resource and
founded a civilization which out
stripped Europe. It was about 4000
to 3000 B. C. that Egypt bad a
stable government controlling mil
lions of sonls.
The grain of Egypt was 1000
years older than any found in Asia,
says Doctor Breasted, and cattle un
doubtedly had their origin in Africa.
The Stone age founders of Egypt
early developed from hunters to
farmers, and used the oldest metal
instruments made by human agency.
They evidently discovered the metal
there; and a system of writing was
evolved in Egypt thousands of years
before Christ—Detroit News.

“I heard his brother 6ay he was a

We are nothing but Americans, Mr.
President.” ' ' /' ' ,,
Mr. ‘ Wiison’s argument* 'tor' the
league, briefly summarized, are those:
There can be no peace, either now
or In the future, without It. There
can only be a regrouping of nztlone
and* new "Balance of Power," which
la certain to lead to war. There can
be no war In the future, with the
league in existence, because-no single
nation would defy' the united reef of
zbanktad', an'd if'lt It could be
brought tO'terme try’ an economic
boycott, and without the use of arms.
There con be no reduction in the
coat of living until the league la es
tablished, for nations will not go
ahead with peace time production ua
til thtey know that peace la definitely
assured and that production of war
material la no longer neceesary.
There can be wonderful proeperlty,

These declaration of the president

Brides Appeared In Scant Attira to
Protect Husband From Liability for
Her Debts—Various Expedients
to Preserve Modesty. ~
BRUgor, Maine.—A Bengor lawyer
attending court In the ancient town
Wises sset, Lincoln county, recently
went rummaging In the Colonial court
records of the ploee end In the course
of his reading came across the official
registration of g “amock marriage.”
Not knowing what a smock mnrrlage
was, the lawyer looked farther, and
got considerable light upon a strange
custom prevalent In England a cen
tury or more ago and also to some ex
tent In the American colonies.
Smock marriages were wedding*
where the bride appeared dressed In a
■white sheet or chemise. The reason
for such a garb was the belief that If
a man married a woman who was In
debt he could be held liable for her
Indebtedness If he received with her
any of her property; and also, that If
a woman married a man who was In
debt, hla creditors could not take her
property to satisfy tholr clslms If he
hsd received nothing from her at
mnrrlage.
In England, says an nntinuartan,
there was at least one case where a
hride wfis clothed In purls natursllbns
while the ceremony wos bring per
formed In the grest church at Birming
ham. The minister nt first refused
to perform the ceremony, hut. finding
nothing In the rubric that would ; exp
ense him, he finally married the pair.
To carry out the law fully as the
people pnderstood it. the ceremony
should always have been performed as
It was In the church at Birmingham,
In the case noted, hnt, modesty for
bidding. vsrlous expedients were used
to accomplish the desired end without
the unpleasant features.
Sometimes the hride stood In a
closet end put her handtihrough a hols
In the door; sometimes she stood be
hind a cloth screen and put her hand
out at one side; again, she wound
about her a white sheet furnished by
th* bridegroom, and sometimes she
stood In her chemise or smock. Event
ually, In Essex county at least, all Im
modesty wbb avoided by the groom
furnishing an the clothes worn by ths
bride, retaining title to tbe same In
himself. This he did In the presence of
witnesses, that he might he able to
prove the fact In ease he waa sued
for any debts, she might base con.
tract ed.
A marriage of this kind occurred at
Bradford In 177S, and ihe following Is
