so. The city council say it's so and w.
H. Norton, the advance agent of the

he emphatically says it is true that
Ringing Brothers show is going to be in
our city on the Oath Of August. Do you
get it? Ringlings' are going to be here.
Now is the time for the small boy and
the big boy, too, for that matter, to begin
saving the pennies and the jitneys for
the big attraction. It may be hard on
Manager Leen Of the new Ruby for when
the small boy begins to consider whether
he is to take in the moovies OF wait for
the big show the best pictures on earth
have about as much chance as that
proverbial SNOWFALL, in his estimation.
The advance agent of the company
was in town recently and made arrange
ments as to water and the necessary
license fee. The big tent will be pitched
at the Fair Grounds as the Ball Park
would not be large enough to accom-
