Mexico has one of the best inter-
state fairs in the country, and the
success of their recent exhibition
attests to the truthfulness of the
assertion. On the opening day
FIVE hundred horses were on the
grounds, to contest for the various
premiums offered for speed, and
show animals. Its success IS in
a large majority due to the citizens.
A man does not dare to say a word
against the town, for fear he will
get "cut to the quick" by some of
her patriotic citizens. 1t is the
spirit that ought to pervade the
atmosphere in Bowling Green, and
thankfully we can say it is rapidly
becoming that way. Never say a
word against your town; talk it's
