A Grand Fair.

The Columbia H. & S. F. E. Company
has made arrangements to hold grand
fair in Robbins opera house from March
18th to April End, next. 1t will be an
elaborate affair, in fact one of the best the
company has ever held. As au addtiona
attraction a first class entertainment will
be given on the stage of the hall each
evening. The fair should be literally
patronized. The Columbia boys are
among the most popular of the town and
have established reputation for being
among the most willing and effective
volunteer fire fighters in the region. No
opportunity should be lost to give them
encouragement in their noble cause.
Praise at the time service is given is we'll
enough, but that does not help pay the
expense of keeping the fire apparatus in
order and feeding the horses. Every
citizen of the town, especially the prop
erby owner, should be prepared to con-
tribute substantial aid to the volunteer
fremen with the same willingness and
liberality as they display when paying for
anything else to preserve their properties
and homes.
