The Georgia Enterprise November 27, 1868
     We are informed that a serious row occurred in Covington, yesterday, 
between JOHN ROBINSON’S Circus Company and parties of that place. One Negro was 
killed, and a showman mortally wounded. The Company struck tents and left for 
Atlanta immediately. We will give the particulars in our next issue.
MADISON AUDITOR, 21st inst.

     The “Auditor” is entitled to the thanks of our community. The statements 
are strictly correct, except the wounded showman and the Negro killed. That is 
to say, on the 20th, JOHN ROBINSON’S show was exhibited here. Persons who did 
not belong in Covington did drink some liquor, and some reckless shooting 
resulted in slightly wounding one Negro. No one was killed, neither were any of 
the showman hurt, and there, was no row between the showmen and any parties 
here. Friend Auditor, thee had better get thy Covington items from the 
ENTERPRISE, if thee would have the satisfaction of publishing the truth.
