Bag of Gold Will be Given Away— Results Not Encouraging. The American Legion bazaar and circus which opened here Tuesday night will close tomorrow night, at which time the ba. of gold will he gven away to the holder of the lucky number. i'ne attraction was booked by the lo cal post of the American legion in an effort to make money for the Mem orial fund, but on account of the dis continuance of the wheels of chance, the cold weather, the faijure of the. show people to heat the tent and] change their program, it is considered a flat failure. The legion-luckily dilj not guarantee anything financially and Will not lose any-money on the; proposition, but had everything been done as was planned there would have been possibly severe! hundred dollars added to the fundi The circus acts were fairly good, but grew very monotonous to those who went every night expecting to see a change in the program. A good number of season tickets were sold by the memlers of the iegion and girls who were trying to sell the larg est number in order to win a prize, but efforts were relaxed after the closing of the gambling devices and the repeated programs. The purpose of the legion in bring- ; ing the attraction to Lumberton was a good one and it wag hoped that a < good bit of money would be made, and it is no fault of the legion that the circus was not presented as represent ed.
