The Ringling Brothers
 Big Circus Has ArriUed

will leave the show grounds at 10 o'clock this morning. This firm is re- sponsibie for making the usual circus parade look like something worth while. They put into 1t novelty. va riety of feature and positive attraction. Shapely horses. well groomed riders. scores of open animal dens. good bands. tasteful tabieau floats. extraordinary numbers of elephants. pert ponies. dron clowns and many other similar fea- lures give 1t distinction and bespeak an organization of the highest class. A twenty camel team, broken to har- ness and driven like horses is strik- ing novelty in this years pageant.
 This is the twenty-ifth anniversary of Ringing Brothers in the circus business, and the ring acts are mostly European novelties and sensations.
 Fully two-thirds of the performers are appearing in America for the first time. The show has always presented an exceptional list of feature acts fin which refinement and novelty have been leading characteristics. In fact. the tone and individuality of Rtngling Brothers big show have earned 1t the distinction of first place in the circus world.
 There are acrobats from Persia. rid CTS from Italy and France. gymnasts from England and Germany. and spe- cialists from twenty-two countries of the world. A man reverses the order of nature and walks on his head; two brothers use the narrow back Of a speeding horse to perform startling acrobatic feats: gymnasts twist and revolve three and four times high In the air. while swinging to 6 far-away purchase; horses play football, and wear and take of human garments and go to bed like @ man; pigs climb lad ders and shoot the chutes. and do other unpiglike things; elephants act out in pa ntomine funny skits; horses. dogs and ponies start a new chapter in animal training-but there are too many unconventional and featured acts fin the bill of 100 numbers to partic- ularize In newspaper space.
 Of course, there is thriller and in this instance 1t is tingler for fair, Le Belle Roche. a young French woman, sits at the steering wheel of heavy automobile, which shoots from the top of the tent down Q steep track, and at an upturn in the sus- pended incline. about fifteen feet from the ground the machine is tossed high in the air and turns two somersaults before slambsnging into distant spring platform and spending its en- ergy in the racing track. Those who crave emotional excitement will get a heaping measure in this curdling act.
 Ringing Brothers will open a down town ticket office today in the Ex- change Drug Store. and sell tickets at same prices ask ed on the show grounds.

 The most important circus in the world today. the one which has made the name of Ringing Brothers house. hold word, is here today, for parade this morning and performances this afternoon and tonight. The great show travels upon eighty-fve cars. split up Into four special trains. All the cars belong to Ringing Brothers. the railroad furnishing only the mo- tive power. The first special carries the commissary department, many or the workmen, baggage horses and pa rade wagons. The trains began arriv- ing from Tuscaloosa long after mid night. and the work of unloading will begin at daybreak this morning.
 Before the average reader Of The Advertiser has had his morning coffee. the wonderful circus city of Ringing Brothers will be established at the familiar show grounds. and thousands of young and old will be hurrying to- ward tho scene of the strange settle ment,
 There are 1900 people and $50 horses with the big show. and the splendid system of providing food and shelter in a different place each day for such a travelling army has caused the United States Government to detail officers for It's study. MT. Webb. steward of the snow. was in Montgomery yester- day buying the best in fresh vege- tables and meats. The wOrkmen of the show toll out of doors most of the day and night, and develop appetites that require a lot of food to satisfy. For breakfast this morning there were ordered 750 pounds of pork chops, 25O dozen eggs and 500 loaves of bread. Ii also takes 150 gallons of coffee and sixty-five gallons of tea for this meal. This department of Ringing Brothers circus, like all other features, Is unique, and has inspired much admiring comment.
 Numerous agents were here yesterday buying enormous supplies, arranging for the parade. and seeing that the show grounds are dry and firm The tents are claimed to be perfectly water proof. and the lighting of the tents Is a spectacular feature, even extending to separate lights for the menagerie cages. The Ringling collection of wild animals Is known to be superior, and this Illuminating consideration will add to the appreciation of the general public.

 Captain smith hesitated, rapidly turned over the leaves of the blotter' and remained silent.
 Call the next case!' And the court raised It's flute like voice an octave.
 Captain Smith remained silent.
 "Whatsermatter; ain't got no cases7'
 DO YOU mean to tell me that the great police force of Montgomery holds up for my inspection one lopsided booze comedian. and calls the same a days work?" The judge did not seem to quite catch the situation. He f1ngere1 his ledger excltedly, nervously bit his fingernails and looked bewilderedly about the court.
 The strain was a bit too much for Captain Smith and he departed at jog trot through the back door. Po- liceman Sikes followed, and Cantey ran after Sikes to discuss an important matter with him. The few negroes in the room got up uneasily from their seats and slunk out. The room was empty except for the Judge. A while he sat abstractedly looking out of the window. The sash was up and htful breeze blew on his pale. set face. the muscles drawn tight In cruel. hard lines.
 After a long time Sergeant Happy came in on tiptoe and closed the win dows. but so softly that lit'.e white sparrow that had flown to tie window sill was not frightened. Hour after hour the broken man sat gazing on into his past. pausing at the events that marked milestones In his lire: Then silently the massive head fell forward on the folded arms and he was left alone with his bitter sorrow.

 ready Being Sought by

while there will be only few changes Ih the oncial personnel at the county court house with the beginning of an- otner year. there will be minor places 10 nil and the plum hunters are al- ready busy.
 II may be said definitely that Dave w. Crosland. Superintendent of the Cty sanitary Department will be ap- pointed Deputy Tax Assessor by Nor gan s. Gilmer. the new assessor of the county who will succeed A. H. Eubank Tn that office on January lB Mir. Eu- bank will retire from public life on that date.
 During pr. Eubank's term of office MT. Gilmer served as deputy assessor. fte was nominated to the office of as- sessor in the primary election and was elected November g. Mir. Crosiand aided MT. Gilmer in his campaign. and It IS well settled that he will be named as deputy. Neither MT. Gilmer nor MT. Crosland have announced the fact officially.
 With the departure from the city hall of Mir. Crosland there will be a vacancy in what is regarded in city politics as a good office. The salary or the superintendent of the Sanitary Department pays si,500 annually, and the officer is appointed by the mayor VI SouTse mayor Teague has not inti- mated who he has in mind for the place If, indeed. he has been advised that there will be a vacancy.
 It is gossip about the city hall that either Gaston Troy or Jacob Hinderer will be the next superintendent of the department. Mir. Troy is a clerk in the offce of City Engineer Gilchrist and MT. Hindered is a sanitary inspector. There may be other applications for the place before the appointment Is announced.
 new county Board of Revenue will go into office in January The clerk ship of the board is an office that car ries good salary. Major S. T. Vest colt has held the place several years and will probably be reelected by the incoming board. It was said yester- day, however. that there would be a number of applicants for the office.
