THAT HORSE PREMIUM.

The object of our picnic fair was for
a mutual benefit to its patrons. An
executive board was selected consist
ing of one from each township with
several members at large Officers
Were. elected, superintendent ap-
pointed, all with view that certain
amount of work from these chosen few
might result ia q successful fair.
The most sanguine expectations of
these favored few were more than
realized, with no admittance fee, with
no entrance fee, vast gathering Of
interested citizens came, with baskets
overlooking with refreshments, tables
laden with products and pens filled
with fine stock.
A. fsa0 did the work of perfectjng the
arrangements, including :.the pleasant
task of presenting subscription list
to our citizens, who put up for the
necessary expenses, and offered many
special premiums.
Had our patrons all been like our
friend Mcdonald, the member of the
executive board from Deer Greek
township, these favored officers would
have received mountain of thanks
Tor their work. This gentleman the
member of the executive board from
Deer Greek township, was never
known to put in an appearance by let
fer or word to assist matters along, but
the last day, in the afternoon, comes IN
with his.Clydesdale horse and attempts
to show in the ring without having
entered, that he might have the chance
of making his annual "kick." There
being only two thoroughbred Clydes-
dale on the ground, the one being reg
ularly entered received the LIST premi-
UNI; the other, having no entry ticket,
was sent out by the judges. The Soci-
ETY., on learning of these facts, and that
the horse was worthy, and the premi-
UNI being only ribbon, intended a
courtesy in granting Mr.. McDonald's
horse premium, which. I presume.
gave him another chance to "kick."
All Fair arrangements make mistakes,
and crowding what should have been a
four days. Fair into two, the Secretary
taking entries until noon the last day,
we congratulate ourselves on SO few
mistakes, and believe we have, with
few exceptions, a common sense public
to look ever these mistakes.
Could there be any plan devised by
which such gentlemen as our friend
Mcdonald could be crowded into the
front and made 10 bear the burden of
Fair business, they would find out with
all their bluster that they don't know
it all. A. g. JONES,
Secretary.

Editor Register:
Invent to a Harrison and Morton
pole raising on last Friday, at the resi-
dence of Mr.. Samuel Baxley, and
there being no representative of the
REGISTER present, thought a few notes
of the occasion might be acceptable.
On arriving at The place we were met
by Mr.. Baxley, with that genial hospi-
tslity SO prover5ia, among gentlema n
of the old Virginia school
and on going into the house
found bis sons and sons-in-law, and a
large number of his neighbors, enjoy
ing themselves around dinner table
spread with all the luxuries of the sea-
son; prepared in the style that Vir-
ginia matrons know so we'll. After
dinner We proceeded to raise a pole 95
feet high, under the superintendent
of MIR. Merchant. When the pole was
raised banner bearing the names of
Harrison and Morton, and large flag
Were run up. with three cheers given
for the flag, Harrison and Morton and
the Bailey boys.
Mr.. Foust delivered speech on the
general issues of the day, and by the
way, one of the best speeches we have
heard during the campaign.
Mr.. Baxley says he voted for "Old
Tippecanoe" and carried log cabin in
the campaign of 1910, and is..still young
enough TO take his place in the line and
vote for "Young Tippecanoe". His
six sons, J. W.. J. r., A. r., G. IS.
T., and JIM, are chips of the old block,
and will march and vote with him.

many accidents might be prevented by q mo-
