Dowitie Brothers
Show Pleases Large
Crowds In Asheboro
Put On Two Performances Here
Saturday—Show Carried On
Chevrolets.
Randolph county folks were treated
to something new in the way of a
show in Asheboro last Saturday when
, Downie Brothers Wild Animal Circus
i' rolled into town loaded on 76 Chev
. rolet trucks, all hitting on four and
; performing in a most acceptable man
j ner to the show folks. Andrew
, has for forty-seven years been oper
.: ating shows of one kind or another
> throughout the United States. These
, have included train shows, wagon
! shows and all others in the category.
■ But, best of all, the veteran show
‘ man likes the motorized show. He
’, doesn’t have to depend on train
| schedules and the missing of connec
tions. When his show is through at
! one place, all there is to do after the
t loading is to crank up the 75 Chewies
. and step on the gas. The Downie
Brothers have been able on account
of decreased cost of transportation
[ due to the use of trucks to reduce
. their price of admission to the low
price of 25 and 50 cents.
■ Despite the fact that hundreds of
i Randolph county folks had seen John
i1 Robinson’s Show in High Point and
i Barnum Bailey and Ringling Brothers
■ combined shows in Greensboro only a
• few weeks before the coming of
i Downie Brothers to Asheboro, large
. crowds greeted both afternoon and
■ night performances. The streets were
lined for the big parade which was
staged at the noon hour on the prin
cipal streets of Asheboro.
Perhaps no more enjoyable circus
has visited Asheboro. It wasn’t the
biggest circus Asheboro folks had
seen, but it was the first and largest
that has come to the town in many a
I year. There was something going on
all the time in the three rings under
: the main tent. There was about all
| one could take in during the time, and
the acts were exceptionally well done.
; Some of the wild animal acts and the
work done with trained domestic ani
mals was of a high type. In the
Morelos family, including two broth
| ers and three sisters from Mexico, the
circus presented one of the most cap
able groups of performers seen here
! at any time. Antonio Morelos, the
! big star, thrilled with his wire work,
I doing the unusual feat of turning a
j somersault on a tight wire without a
I fault. ,
There was a cheerfulness, an ap
j parent cleanliness, about the show
that made friends, and manage
ment and employes alike seemed
bent on doing their level best to
| please. j
Poultry Shipment
Last Thursday, two thousand
pounds of live poultry were loaded on
a truck in Asheboro by Randolph
farmers under the supervision of
County Agent E. S. Millsaps, Jr., and
cash was paid for the poultry when
loaded. This was the first co-opera
tive shipment of poultry that has been
made from the county for some time.
The county agent is authority for the
statement that more poultry is being
sold in the county now to traveling
husksters than ever before. It is said
by purchasers of Randolph chickens
that poultry obtained in this county is
generally above the average in quali
ty of that obtained elsewhere. This is
believed to be one reason why chicks
en buyers are so active in the county.

the school, college and public libraries

everything that is said about heredity
were true this world would steadily
go to the dogs. As it is, it is growing
better and it is improving because
there is a continual crop of new
babies entering into it and humanity
is always starting again.
No matter what your father or
mother or great uncles were, there
fore, you should not be downhearted.
Dr. Johnson once asked a woman to
marry him and she replied: "Sir, I
cannot because my condition in life
is not equal to yours. Besides, I have
two uncles that have been hung."
He answered "As far as position
in life is concerned, r-—
equal, and as far ,
concerned, while I have no uncle
have been hung, I have seven
tives that ought to be hung."
