GREATEST IN ITS HISTORY.

Raise the Record.
A Fine Days Program Witnessed
by an Overlooking Con-
course of People
Vinita is lin it.
tFrom wednesaay,s palIyl

The fair opened this morning
with a crowd that surpasses any
opening day the Vinita Fair ever
witnessed. Exhibits in all de-
partments are flowing in. The
long line of wagons, carriages,
buggies and other conveyances
that were seen coming in from
every direction at an early hour
this morning gave ample evidence
of complete success, for generous
attendance means generous dis
play of exhibits.
The officers of the day, heads Of
departments and all concerned
seemed busy.
More and better stock in all
lines are already entered than at
any previous meeting. The fruit
and vegetable department is full
to Overlooking. Floral Hall will
not begin to furnish room for
making a proper display Of such
articles as are shown there. Fruit
exhibits are being piled around
on the floor in almost any
fashion on account Of scarcity
of room. The stalls are all full and
new ones are being hurnedly built.
Some horses are being given quar-
ters in the livery stables in the
city. Our efficient secretary, L. l..
Crutchfield, seems determined to
accommodate all. The way from
the ticket Office to the main en-
trance is blockaded and another
gate is needed badly. Notwith-
standing the dust and heat the
crowd is a jolly one and all seem
to be having good time. Verify,
we are Sin it'' this time.

Great care should be exercised

prevail.

swept over her at my words and look, so
her beauty suddenly vanished. Her
