EUROPEAN ARTISTS WITH j
GENTRY BROTHERS
How Continental Performers
Are Engaged By This Popu
lar American Institution.
W len the average American is
j see ;ng a place near the stove
in .. inter the agents of the big
tented shows are working in
dustriously engaging acts for
l the season which comes with
j spring. This part of the amuse
j ment world is one with which
i the public is not familiar. A
I little look into that cranny,
j proves interesting.
November marks the closing
j of the season for tented attrac
j tions like Gentry Brothers All
j Feature Shows, which will visit
j this city next Saturday. Septem
1 her 20. When the last wheel of
j the trains stop at winter quar
ters, the organization of the
show for the succeeding season
begins.
Trainers get busy framing
new features. A showman
whose judgment has been dem

rope. He makes a careful can
vass of the music halls and
vaudeville theaters. For months
he is acquainting himself with
the novelties that are delight
ing audiences on the other side.
After deciding which of the
thousands of acts he sees will
most delight the American
show patron he makes engage
ments. Many performers who
have pleased royalty are
brought to this country to be
come a part of Gentry Brothers
shows.
This season Gentry Brothers
present, in addition to their
world’s famous animal actors, a
score of performers that are
seen this season for the first
time in America. Gentry Bro
thers All New Feature Shows
are indeed all new. If you see
them here next Saturday, Sep
tember 20, you will recognize
them in name only. (Adv.)

Little Rock, Sept. 19.—David
A. Gates, of the State Tax Com
mission, is in the city from his
tour of the state, and will go to
Pine Bluff to morrow to con
fer with the Jefferson County
Board of Equalization. He re-!
ports that he finds nine out of
ten of the county judges, and
about two out of three of the
Boards of Equalization ready
and willing to co-operate with
the Commission in the equaliza
tion of taxes.
In some counties, however,
he has found conditions very
discouraging. In Calhoun, for
instance, he found that all lands
improved and unimproved farm
lands and cut-over lands, have
been assesseduniformilyat $2.50
an acre, regardless of their val
ue, and timber lands at about
$6 an acre. This year the as
sessor attempted to rectify this
discrepancy and increased the
assessment of farm and cut-over
lands to $4 or $5 an acre, but the
Board of Equalization came a
long and undid his work by pla
cing it back at the old figure.
Young Man Wounded.
H. M. Snapp of Magness was
in Batesville Wednesday en
route home from Jamestown,
where he had spent several days
hunting. He and W. B. Tate
of Jamestown were hunting to
gether when they were joined
by A1 Yearin, a young man of
| the vicinity.
In some way Yearin’s gun
went off and the load struck
him in the wrist nearly shatter
ing his arm. Mr. Snapp and
Mr. Pate managed to get him
j to Jamestown, where his wound
I was dressed, but Mr. Snapp
