L AND IN TWO COUNTIES
Twelve to fourteen thousand per
sons saw the performance here Fri
day afternoon of the John Robinson
Circus, in Kinston for ths first time
in several years. That was tho es
timate of tho press man with the
outfit; the seating capacity, nominal
ly around 10,000, wa3 increased for
tho occasion, but still some of ths
circus-goers had to take to the
ground. The crowd at night was a
groat deal smaller. "We got them al
in the day," said the circus folks.
The show was very good. Robin

be sent in, and there was nothing on
vhich the cagrs might bo loaded,
j The customary grand entry opened
the show. It was as spectacular as
the averago. A double squad of
horsemen pulled off a clever act, cut
ji ig some intricate figures and rid-
'""j ing with more dash than marks the
offered "M" i jjnarv equestrian act in this day
't il time. A dozen w.dl-trained ani

Once upon a time Norman Jones,
serving in the National Guard at El
Paso, returned to camp after a stren
uous 15-mile hike foot-sore and leg
weary. He had not been long in act
ive service and his shoulders, back
and limbs felt the after-effects of
marching.
' Remembering Sloan's Liniment,
Jones applied H to the sore spots
and went to bed. He writes: "I
arose the next morning feeling finej
in fact, I had entirely forgotten'about
the hike and went out for a four
hour drill in the sun as spry aa ever."
:. Private Jones passed ''the experi
ence along, and many a boy on the

muscles, rheumatic twinges, etc., by
the uso of Sloan's Liniment. '
