As you may know, The Courier Herald completely cha...

   Taking a Stand in Dixie  Rufus Kelly didn't take too kindly to Yankees.  You see, one of them shot him in the leg and it commenced to hurt very powerfully.  It got to hurting so badly that the ol' doctor had to cut if clean off.   So, when about thirty thousand of the blue coated "Billy Yanks" ...

 Well, Almost  It wasn't the circus of P.T. Barnum and James Bailey or that of the Ringling Brothers, but everybody loves a circus.  Oh my why not?
