The first annual fair of the Barber
County Driving Park and Agricultural
Association was held on the Shelley
place, adjoining the city of Kiowa, on
Friday and Saturday. October 10Th and
Goth. Only abont two weeks notice of
the proposed exhibition was given, but
this proved sufficient to bring out a
creditable display of live stock, agricul-
tural products, poultry, implements, flo
raj exhibits and in fact everything
usually found on exhibition in coun-
ty fair. The grounds were hastily put
in order, and the accommodations for
those in attendance were as good as
could have been expected considering
the short time employed in the work.
The services of the Silver band, of
Medicine Lodge, were secured, and this
organization furnished good music dur
ing the two days.
The racing, decidedly the most en-
PERTAINING part of the programme, CON-

The crying sin of the day is dishonesty. One
hears much of it in public life; but as we have
said BEFORE there is too much of it altogether in
private life. Its cause is to be found in the want
of sefcontrol in the indulgence of tastes and APP
petites. Reckless. extravagant living is at the
bottom of it all. If this living had any true foun-
dalton in any hearty desire for any desirable
thing, there would be more hope OF amendment.
But when one comes to see what things ill-gotten
gains spent upon, the outlook is sad one
dress, display. amusement, costly things bought
just because they are costly; wealth won evilly
merely that it may be spent and wasted foolishly;
| these signs of a time which is not pleasant
thing to contemplate. If man loves any one
thing. say rare books pictures objects of art
of any kind, or music, science of any one thing
in which he would be rich, he is willing to be poor
in every thing else, no matter though his choice
be an unwise one according to the best standards
of choice, he will yet have a motive which will
help to keep him upright. But for those who love
none of these things, but simply desire them be-
cause itIs the habit of time; because Iikepamper-
ed children they must needs cry for whatever they
see just out of their reach for them is needed the
wholesome self discipline which will teach them
to let alone whatever does not belong to them.
The beginning of this self-discipline is at home.
Parents must teach their boys and girls the great
lesson of doing without whatever cannot be fifty
theirs. There need be no niggardly restraint. but
in some way the first lesson for childhood should
be that of earning its pleasures. To get whatever
it Graves as soon as it asks for it the worst kind
of training a child can have.-Firesde Guard.

Sunday Services.

The morning services were opened by our choir
singing selection of their own. followed by sing
ing by the audience and prayer by the chaplain.
Rev. Albert took for his text the 4Sth verse of the
5th chapter of Matthew BE We therefore perfect,
even as your Father which is in heaven is per-
fect.' The subject considered was, 'How to tuild
pose to call attention to some one who was per.
feet. but to point out line plain and simple, along
which all may move. and build character that
will stand the test of time and eternity. In order
to build such a character it is necessary to first
have proper appreciation of ourselves. Such
an appreciation is not what many have egotism
or sef-esteem. but a proper estimate of inn
mortal characters Mans physical nsignificance
compared with the vast universe, was con-
trasted with his spiritual significance when it is
contemplated that he will exist when all the phys.
zeal forces of nature are more. Man thus
viewing himself realizes his immortal greatness.
1t is the will that places nearer God We are
apt to shape our lives by what people say Of us,
but this is not the proper standard. 1t should be,

right. The child is often taught to act in differ

which we would fear to have the whole world

Second, should have good thoughts The
mind in childhood was compared to blank sheat
of paper I'VE begin to write upon it when we
begin to think If our thougts are pure our acts
will be pure. The mind feeds on what we think
about, and characters are formed by the
course of our thoughts The subject OF what can
be accomplished from small beginnings. was clear
ly shown and many examples pointed out among
whom Lincoln, Edmund Burke and Adam
Clark showing there is no limit to the possibilities
which lie within our reach
Third, in addition to having proper apprecia-
ton Of ourselves, and occupying minds with
good thoughts it necessary to have the religion of
our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. No right char
acter can be formed and maintained without it,
1t is by the aid of Christ alone that we may hope
to become perfect After earnestly entreating
all to seek the assistance of Christ the Savior of
mankind, we were dismissed.
