The following letter, taken from the Religious Herald, Richmond, Va.. will be of great interest to the many friends and relatives of Dr. Roper In this coun ty. Dear Herald: You are always glad to hear the news. It is now our privi lege to report one of the best meetings this church and community has ever had. Brother L. M. Roper, of Peters burg?, came to us the first week In September, for eight days and nights preached the gospel with unwonted tenderness and power. He captured aM our hearts from the very start. Ev erybody was Just simply charmed, and I have n>>t heard one single adverse criticism either of his preaching or his manner. The pastor counted himself specially happy to have him as a guest in our home. His unaffected courtesy, ('brist ly bearing and happy blend of dignity and good humor make him a welcome guest in any Christian home. My chil dren were particularly fond of him. and it would not surprise me if he makes missionaries out of more than one of them. Results of the meeting: Twenty-five additions, backsliders reclaimed, the church greatly revived, and the whole community deeply stirred. I predict that as Dr. Roper's evange listic gifts become known in Virginia he will soon have more work than he can do. My people do so many nice things for me that It is hard for me to give an account of each separate kindness As an illustration, they made up a nice purse for my expenses to Virginia Beach. Fraternally yours. J. M. Pearcy. Newsoms ,Va? Sept. 14, 11112. HOW'S THIS? We offer One Hundred Dollars Re ward for any case of Catarrh that cannot M>e cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. F. J.

RingUng Brothers' Circus and new ly added $".00,000 apectable of "Joan of Arc," will exhibit In Greenville on Wednesday, October ?3rd. The spec tacle In Itself is an attraction that should bring thousands of visitors from the surrounding country. It is beyond question the greatest produc tion of its kind ever seen in America. The world's most skillful scenic ar tists, d:>stumers, property-makers, chorus directors and stage managers were engaged to mount the produc tion. A stuge bigger than a hundred ordinary theatres was built and made portable so that It can be conveyed from town to town and erected each morning In the main tent. Thus the circus proprietors have made It pos sible for those who live In contribu tory towns as well as in the large cit ies to see this magnificent wordless piny with Its cast of 1,200 characters, a ballet of 1100 dancing girls, a grand opera chorus of 400 voices, G00 horses and a train load of special scenery, costumes, properties and mechanical devices for producing such stage ef fects as thunder, lightning, storms, fires and the< sound of battle. In the old market place of Roen. Franc e .there now stands a monument i by which the French of today have sought to redeem their part in the execution of Joan of Arc. who on May HO, 14111, was burned to death on the false charge of heresy after hav ing delivered her country from the English and having restored the crown to Charles VII. History records but (he meager facts of this strange hero ine of eighteen years, who led the mules of France victorious through English invasion, and then, deserted by all, even the indolent monarch whom she preserved, died by the cruel cst torture known with the name of j the master upon her lips. Unsung in poetry the name of this simple peas ant girl has come down through the ages to be revered as that of a saint, nnd whose wonderful powers and whose bravery are verily believed to have been of divine inspiration. On the triumphant Incident? the victorius engagements, the final de feat of the English armies, and the coronation of Charles VII, all achiev ed by the frail Maid of Orleans, has been founded the inspiring spectacle which gives RingUng Brothers' circus a new significance and makes an attraction such as the world in search ing for amusement has never before found. The regular circus program Is more than ever attractive. Its company of 'M~> fornten artists, its double menag erie aiiu its new street parade will prove a great surprise to those who attend from this city. The event is one that should not be missed. 1l-2t (Advertisement.)
