Despite the fact that the strike be

E. Haag, proprietor of the Mighty HaaR
Shows, which exhibit in Middletown on
August 22d, is considered the Circus King
below tie Mason and Dixon line, has de-
cided in his sixteenth transcontinental
tour to come north of the Mason and

The invasion will be watched by jealous

dom, and big novelty is in store for the
northern people as they will have a
chance to see the southerner as he really
and truly is in all phases OF his life, as the
show is managed, directed, owned and all
departments are people by southerners
only.
There will be real southern beauties rid
ing blue ribboned Kentucky bred horses;
the southern colonel will be in evidence,
with his wide brimmed white hat, to
gether with the Eyes sah' that has made
the southern famous.
Mr.. Haag also claims to have the finest
sixteen head of Kentuckey mules, which
are world wide renowned, and will be of
great interest to horsemen of this section.
Taking it all in all great treat is in store
for the public wherever the Mighty Haag
