tOBINSON MADE GOOD
ALL PROMISES
BOW WAS DP TO ITS BILLS AID
DISCOUNTED THEM BY FAB
The Paducah, Ky., News-Demorat
of September, 12, 1909, says:
Thousands of people crowded the
reat tent of John Robinson's circus
aturday, both afternoon and night
crformance being given to probaly
the largest crowds which have
itnessed a circus performance in
lis city. And none went awav disppointed.
Startling claims and
i unused were maue Dytne managffel
lent in its posters and advertising,
et there was not one which was not
llfilled to the letter.
The show was a marvel. The usal
circus elevation had been imroved
on, and John Robinson's cirjs
went out of the general rut ar.d 1
lowed some things which were
ifferent. The aggregation has
iree rings and in every one of the
ree there is something going on !
'cry minute from the time the par
:ipants file around the rings at the 1
art of the performance until after 1
e concerr, with which the circus 1
osed. '
Feats which would be thought be- '
>nd the realm of human cndeavoi '
ere pulled off one right after the 1
her and the immense crowds were (
;pt guessing what was next alter- (
itely with gasps over what was (
)ing on then. Animals actually 1
iman in their intelligence acted
eir parts, and seals, ordinarily stu- '
d animals, played hand ball with
ch other, riding on ponies around s
c ring the while. Horses cake- 1
ilked to the music of the excellent *
nd, bowed to the audiences, or s
swered the commands of their f
liners and riders wi h an intellince
lacking in a gco 1 many indi- s
duals. Elephants, gie..i ch.rx.sy ^
asts. did jigs and two steps on t
p of small banels, cr walked on c
eir hind legK as ti.eir trainers c
oose. The antics of clowns caus- s
peal after peal o laughter to
rst from men, women aid chile:
while daredevil ba lidtrs,
spangled in tights, did impossil.lt
ngs on the backs or their flying
reds.
The strongest man in the world
ted fourtced men on a platform a
his back, tossed a 750 pound r
imbell about as he pleased, or jug- s
;s it with four men hanging on to
e ends. Taken all in all, it was a a
eat sight for both the big people c
10 came with an excuse, to the f
Lie people who came as excuses, a
d not a still minute in the kaledio- t
opic pictures permitted to look
ide.
The features of the dav were, of
lurse, the daredevil dive of a highpaid
artist from the top of the
nt to the ground, coming down ^
rad first and striking an inclined (
ane which righted him, and the ;
rong man who permitted a heavy
luring car to run o\er him lor the 1
mefit of the crowd. The slack
ire walker who walked up toward
le top of the tent on his unsteady
>pe and slid down on his toe and
eel was likewise no slouch as a
ir iller.
After the performance the crowd
ized at the wild and rare animals
i cages outside. The John Robson
circus deserves every modicum
[ success, which it is attaining.

the two Arctic explorers, Dr. Cook ^
and Commander Peary. Almost to a t(

Clerk of the Court Prank W. Shealy w
decided that it would be interesting
to test the opinion of those who daily
visit his office from the different jj
sections ot the county. ^
He placed an election box on his ^
desk, bearing the following label:
"Who reached the North Pole, Cogk u]

He was struck on the shoulder and as 0

the brakes on the tender, resulting in 0
instant death. a
Mr Hughes a resident of this place
and a most trustworthy rnginer WoS
in charge of the engine thrt killed Mr

blameless in the matter.
MrDorn wasonc of the county's
most useful and prominent citizens. c
He was a trustee of Furman Univer

baptist church, and the leoal repres- c
entative of the Twin City Power Co. 1
His death is a distinct loss to ihe 1

The verdict of the coronet's jury ,
