Carnival Gone Broke
A carnival has gone broke in Hickory. Several days ago a bunch camped on a vacant lot near South avenue, agreed to pay a rental of $5 a night, and defaulted. The concern paid only part of the city taxes, none to the county, allowed a printing bill to remain unpaid and the members, including snakes, almost starved to death. Instead of sewing the bunch up here, it was decided to let the whole shebang out of town and this was moving day. Where the carnival is going was not known.
