Quite a large delegation of our citizen:
went up to Kansas City during the week, t.
attend the fair. On Thursday morning thu
Narrow Gauge train was overloaded with
passengers, and several persons who inten
ded going, stayed at home on account Of tn,
crowded condition of the cars. The n. q
seems to be doing an extensive passenger
business, considering the length of line, ane
the size OF The towns on the road. We wist
it success in every department.
The LAST day of the fair passed off NOR,
quietly than we expected. Not q fuss o
any kind occurred during the day till afte
the close of the fair, when two young mel
engaged in a fight, but it was of short du
ration. friends interfering and sspsratIn
the comOsttants. Generally the closing da
is celebrated by quite a number of youn
men getting drunk and conducting them
selves In q bosterous manner but last Satul
day was as quiet as any OF the precedin
days.
Geo. w. Heaford. assistant general pas
senger agent of the Missouri Pacific railroad
is now acting general passenger agent, il
place of E. A. Ford, resigned, who has az
cepted the same position upon the Iro
Mountain road. Mr.. heaford Is very popu
lar with those who know him, and the tray
cling public Is largely indebted to him 10
many Of the conveniences which they hav
enjoyed under the administration OF MI
Ford.
Read McCausland Il Bedford's advertise
ment in THIS issue Of the paper.
Some twenty years ago, more or less, "
heard q preacher lamenting the lack of zei
among his flock and wondering why so fe,
could be induced to turn out to church.
wag standing near asked permission to Civ
him q secret that would insure him a flu
house on every occasion. "Well, let's hes
it," said the good man. "You just Civ
notice that the services will conclude with
tight-rope and gymnastic performance +
house Will be full" Wonder if it woul
not be a good idea for the pastors of OIL
churches to act upon the suggestion.
"When the Register begins to push th
"torgan," infantile cries are heard" is goo
