We give up foul columns of our

ment of the Lafayette county fair, to be
held at Higginsville, August 1929. 1t
is u custom to print the premium list,
and we do so now, though at some in
convenience to ourselves, because it is
the very strongest appeal that can be
made to possible exhibitors. We hope
it will be closely scanned, and that the
liberal premiums offered will attract
more exhibits, and better ones than
have eve yet been made. The reunion
of Gen. SLelby's brigade, and other old
soldiers, both confederate and federal
will begin the fair with a grand attend.

The Post thinks the people of this
county are tax-ridden and oppressed.
Would to God it had been to the fore
when its party organ and party leaders
where defending and unfolding the
reckless imposition of these taxes. The
1ntelligencer mourns a gallant and
high minded editor, whose life was
sacrificed in the endeavor to stem the
torrent. 1t overlooked and over
whelmed the people of the county, and
they are but just getting their heads
above the flood. 1t does moi lie in the
mouth of a republican newspapr, for
partisan purposes, to pretend to be
shocked at the state of things which it
implicitly attributes to democratic
management. Under republican con-
troll II debt and taxes grew larger and
larger. Under democratic care both
have been largely reduced.
