The city of Charlottesville is no
longer in the circus belt, and it has
been years since a first-class circus has
pitched its tents in the Athens of In
diana. Some years ago, SO tits said,
the city officers attempted to impose
an exorbitant license fee, which the
circus management would not pay,
avoiding the penalty by camping just
outside the city limits. Crawfords-
vile then found itself on the circus
blacklist. 1t now realizes that not
only do the people want to see a good
show, but that good show is a good
thing from a business point of view;
and the white flag is huttering.
