RASCALITY REBUKED.
Dishonest Advertising Denounced
How Texas has Always Been
Imposed Upon.
AFFAIR WARNING!
let the People Demand What is
Promised. or Prosecute the
False Pretenders.
A FAIR WARNING !!

To the Community at Large:
For MANY wears have carefully watched
the almost criminal custom, the UNFAIR
and wholesale exaggeration OF every circus
that has visited the State of Texas, ana
deem it duty TO come squarely TO the
front and openly denounce the deep-dyed
rascality which has so long been practlced
upon the people. To the shame of mana
gers generally, be 1t said, that Within tue
mast five wears no show has ever visited
Texas in the same degree OF .attractiVehess
as it exhibited in the northern states. ~
has been the universal practice oil all SHOWS
contemplating u tour OF Texas or the south
ern states, to not only reduce its expenses
in every particular, but actually dispense
with nearly every redeeming feature or at
traction. Shows have been purposely cut
down." reduced and robbed OF four hltns
of their former worth tor a tour OF THIS
State, on the plan and argument tnat any
thing will do Tor Texas" And this is the
solemn truth. Over advertising has been
