The Turner'S Fair which closed last eve

has ever held. The attendance was very
large and, considering the hard times,
something unusual, number of prizes
were awarded and some lively ballotting
for some of the articles, especially the easy
chair. for the most popular huntsman,
which was won by S. r. Porter, the vote
standing: Porter, 225; Harms, l65; L.

drawn by the holder of ticket No. 3, but
who he was nobody seemed to remember.
1t is safe to say he will be on hand, how
ever. The china set was not raffied off as
anticipated. The fair was pleasant one
throughout, and those having it in charge
deserve credit for excellent management.
