SHOW CANCELS BECAUSE
OF DIP LAW IN COLOUITT
Robinson's Circus Refuses to Again
Dip Its 700 Head of Stock.

Rather than to have its 700 head of
stock dipped for the second time
against cattle tick infection the John
Robinson circus, which was scheduled
to show in Moultrie on next Friday,
has cancelled its engagement. The
management of the show states that
after the first dipping in Jacksonville,
Fla, they should be assured by gov
eminent inspectors that they would
pass Inspections at Moultrie. The APP
pearance of few ticks on the lower
