THE CURIOUS No. 4
Its Many Wonders-Its Connection With
the Old Reliable John Robinson's
Show, Which Exhibits at Bir-
mingham Thursday, Oc-
tober 20, 1899

There are four cardinal points, four
Winds. four quarters of the moon, four sea-
sons, four figures in the quadrille, four
rules in arithmetic, four suits of cards, four
quarters to the hour, four legs for fur
nture, most animals go on four legs We
have four incisor and four canine teeth and
our forks have four prongs. All animals,
when butchered. are cut into four quarters.
The violin, greatest of musical instruments,
has but four strongs. There are four great
continents Every great railway has four
tracks. When we grow old we have four
eyes. Every room has four corners and
four sides. Every question has four sides
the inside, the outside, the right side. the
wrong side. Yet there Is only one show in
the world that has been in existence four
score years, and during all that time has
never changed title. There are four John
Robnsons. The veteran founder of this
great show-his son John, his grandson
John and his great grandson John, all d.
rect lineal descendants and all named John
Robinson. 1t is the only show in the world
that has four rings and four charm
ing female champion equestrians and four
graceful male champion bareback riders.
In addition to the champion riders as
above mentioned, there are over 100 artists
who appear in the arena, and over twenty
clowns, headed by the famous Lowlow,
and in all, over 400 salaried people with this
big show, and it should be mentioned that
four railways, viz the L. and N, the A. G.
S., the C. of G. and the X. c., M. and B.,
have all decided to sell round trip tickets
at greatly reduced rates so to enable the
masses to see this, the famous Old Reliable

CUNNINGHAM WILL :
= -
ASK REELECTION
viii Again Stand as Candidate
for Senate.
0'BRIEN WILL STAND ASIDE
He Will Offer for the Lower House,
Where He Has Served Before
An Important Move in
Local Politics

Robert Masterton Cunningham, the sena-
tor for jefferson and the president of the
senate of Alabama, will be candidate for
reelection to succeed himself in the SEN
ate of Alabama.
Francis Patrick OBrien, the sheriff Of
jefferson county, will be a candidate for
representative of jefferson county in the
lower house of the general assembly of
the state.
These facts were develpode yesterday. and
are possessed of more interest than can
possibly pertain to the premier county.
They are of state interest
President Cunningham is one of the most
conspicuous figures of the state. For four
years he has been senator for the first of
the sixty-six counties
For two years, and as we'll as at this
time, he has been president of the senate,
and under the constitution and the law,
the man upon whom should fall the honors
and the duties of governor should there
arise vacancy in that high office. For two
years he has been regarded as a, candidate
for the governorship in the regular order
He has put from himself that cherished
ambition, ard, according to the present
purpose of things will ask the democrats of
Jefferson to chose him again as state
senator
Sheriff O'Brien served his county for sew
eral years as a member of the lower house,
and he will again ask for that honor.
1t was understood that Mr. O'Brien would
ask for the senatorship. That impression
upon the public mind was constantly held
by Mr. O Brien himself to depend upon the
wishes of the president of the senate
The president of the senate is understood
now to desire to be returned to the senate,
The sheriff of jefferson therefore elects
to become a member of the house as ne
used to be. E
IN effect these matters We're determined
upon yesterday and are of far-reaching
Importance.
1t is known that the political struggle In
Jefferson for the Jefferson county vote for
United States senator will begin actively
within the week beginning this day.
