The Coe FAIR

The Coe fair was success socially and
we trust also financially. An ARGUS re
porter accompanied Deputy Sheriff Silvis,
Circuit Clerk Bowman and other digna-
taries to the far on Friday. George Gen
ung was smiling at the entrance, greeting
one and all in his pleasant way. We were
on the grounds but short time when We
missed Sllvis, but finally found him in the
Judges stand, where he had been called
by general request 20 decide who should
be entitled to the blue ribbon in the la
dies driving exhibition. Meanwhile the
reporter took in the sights, shook hands
with old friends, and listened to the mu~
steal notes Of the Port Byron cornet band,
under the able leadership of G. G. Coyne.
He was surprised TO see Brothers Schall
and Swisher in friendly intercourse with
Brothers PearsOll and Genung, as but
few short weeks before they were at dag
gers drawn over the COe school district
fight. But our surprise vanished when
we learned that the difficulties between
them had been amicably settled, and that
without bloodshed. 1t was sort of vic
new district will not be interiered with,
but they did not gain their point without
some concessions. Taken all together the
brethren did wisely in burying the
hatchet when they did.
But to the fair The afternoon found
large crowd on the grounds. and every>
body seemed TO ENJOY themselves either in
looking at the exhibits. chatting with
friends, watching the races and ball
games, or winning cigars by throwing at
the rag baby. ExeMayor Mott, Deputy
Internal Revenue Collector Henry, and
his predecessor, Capt, Beardsley Valen,
tine Dauber and Other Rock Islanders too
numerous 10 mention, made their appear
ance and Joined in the fun. Silvis still
held the position of Judge, and he, with
his colleagues gave good satisfaction.
Two little fellows entered for the BOYS rid
ing contest, and the one that did not win
the premium fine ban jo-- was ready
to cry, when the deputy sheriff tossed
him So gold piece from his own private
purse, and told the little fellow not to be
discouraged but TO endeavor to do better
IN the future Either the money or the
words OF wisdom braced the boy up won
derfuily, ami he disappeared from the
track in boyish glee.
John Streckfus, of this cily, captured
the trotting race, after five holly contest
ed heats, with his fine stallion, the two
first being taken by Aliens horse, of Port
Byron. Johns friends claimed that he
was holding bis horse at first, and told
him to send him for all he was worth, as
they had their money staked on him.
After this he seemed to trot better, anys
way winning the next three heats.
