MERCER, July Fourth has gone by and our town had a quiet one as mostly all the people who could went to other points where the Fourth was observed. The writer and some others took Conneaut Lake for their outing and all were highly pleased- wilh the day spent at Exposition Park.

The management tins gone to great expense to make the grounds beautiful and comfortable and I do not know of any pleasure resort where you can go and receive better treatment. It is a place where one will not be annoyed with drunkenness or rowdyism. I only saw one or two persons the whole day that I thought were under the influence of liquor while the order was first-class notwithstanding the crowds present. While in the clerk of courts' office the other day, I saw two applicants for marriage license who failed from the fact that one lady was under age 'and did not have the consent of her parents or guardian along with her. The other was the father of the lady wanting to marry and as they did not have the lady's application in writing and sworn to he was also refused.

It would save trouble for all applicants to observe the requirements ol the law, namely, that both parties must go before a justice of the peace or appear in person before the clerk of courts, sign a proper blank and be sworn to same before the clerk can issue the license. If either party is under age their parents or guardian also do the same in giving consent. A great many of the jurymen and those here last court had many good words for the judge in the matter ol disposing of business. The judge is de termined to give all a fair show and save the county expense. Treasurer Graham is now receiving checks.and money at his office and will up to August 31.

Many of our people were in Greenville, July 3, to show their children the animals and some were compelled to take in the circus, also for the children's sake.

Fonrteen Tlioiiftund Attended the Grout Featured. Thirteen thousand, eight hundred and sixty five tickets were sold at Greenville for the great Barnum Bailey show Wednesday of last week and the opinion is generally expressed that Barnum Bailey is the largest and moi' comprehensive amusement enterprist that shows under canvas. It is a reliev to go to a circus and not be trodder, over by peanut vendors and lemonade sellers, peddling their goods in the an clience. The Barnum Bailey shot allows nothing of this sort and it is hoped that the reform will take in the ticket scalpers next. The ethnological congress, an entirely new and novel feature this year, is perhaps as inteiesting as any department in the big show.

In it were strange people from nearly all partsofthe workl.brought together to show the customs of their various countries, their dances, religions and ceremonials. It is an educational feature as well and the student of the human race can find a hundred strange subjects there to interest and entertain him. The menagerie the most completennd comprehensive ever shown in this city. The new girufle, the finest specimen ever imported, is now with the show, having joined it in Ohio a week ago. The only living gorilla is there, and her almost human actions attract throngs about her van.

The little tiger cubs, five weeks old, also attracted many visitors. The trained elephants were alone worth the price of admission. The bareback riding was the finest ever witnessed. William Showles, champion of the world, and William Demott, by many considered his equal, performed some wonderful feats. The Meers sisters did come marvelous riding.

The aerialists, the Dillons and the Dunbars, were first-class. Louis Golden's high dive, from the dome of the tent into a pool of water feet deep, was the sensation of the show. KKNNARD.
