CALLAWAY FAIR.

Mr.. EDITOR: A recent number of
the Mexico LEDGER states that ''Wm.
q. Lee of that city complains of the
oppression of the Fulton Fair direc-
tors for charging him SIC for space
during fair week for displaying his
pianos and organs. The Association
did not charge for room to display
other articles and we think it would
have been just not to have been so
rough on Lee. He did not ask for
premiums only for ROOM"
To the casual reader the above
might convey the idea that the Board
of Directors took advantage of Mr..
Lee and oppressed him by charging
him SIG for the space he occupied,
which was IA by 80 feet. 1t lis due
the Board to state that Mr.. Lee was
informed several days before the fair.
that he would have to pay for the space
and privileges asked for. and it is safe
to say that he would not have come and
paid the price ifhe had not thought his
business would justify it. The booths
and lemonade stands occupying
not more than one-fourth the space
MI. Lee did, rented for from SIG to
$40 each, and money was made at
all of them, and if Lees business did
not 'tpan OUT it was no fault of the
Board, and he had better come to our
fair next fall and secure booth space,
ut the same price, and sell watermei-
ons, popcorn and lemonade. We
could then guarantee success to hlm'
1t is not true that the Association did
not charge for o to display Other
articles, the declaration of the LEDG-
ER or any other man to the contrary
notwithstanding. Nothing of the
kind was permitted without paying
for it.-Fulton Telegraph.
We don't deny that Lee knew al
the time what he was going to pay,
and he did know that his business
would justify it, or he would not have
come. His business did s'pan out
just as be expected. He went Over
TO display some Of the best pianos
ever in Fulton, and that far he ''pan
ed out" VIZ ask YOU how mucl
do You charge for the room taken NJ
by the exhibit of wagons, plows, ant
other implements. We did not say
before that Lee had a just right t.
complain, but we do say so now
Why, you charged him as much 70
his display of pianos which added
much to the attractions Of your fai
as you did tor your various wheel
of fortune which took hundreds O
dollars out Of your county and wer
no honor to your fair.
