Notwithstanding the lwat and dust
last Saturday a large crowd came to
town to witness the show. The
crowd wus variously estimated, some
say there were 3000, while others say
there were more. We estimate , the
crowd at 3500. This was the most
people ever before seen in Dunn.
The street parade took place at
10 :30, and the performance at I. :30
The ring riding was very good ins
deed and the trapee performance as
oiKd as we eyer witnessed. Taken
altogether it was as good as any
show for the admission fee.
They left for Mai ion, S. C, about
7 :30. We hope they will pass this
way again.
