The Newtown bee. (Newtown, Conn.) 1877-current, 1898-09-09

JAOO&Ib III Hu1bG plAOs
A STROLL DOWN THE FAKIR ALLEY
when all was in operation disclosed the
usual number of skin games, fakes, etc.
Some peOOle contend that these games
where an ignorant farm hand steps up,
TO make his fortune, and drops
all the money he has with him instead,
led on by lot of pals of the game, is
all right and necessary to the happiness
of the fair. Perhaps it is-but thank
goodness all people don't think alike. 1t
looks more like highway robbery. There
are some honest games, but beware at
the country fair what you play. There
were eating and drinking tents, temper
ance of course, as usual, and the eating
tent of the Methodist church people
seemed to do thriving business. Pa
irons certainly got their moneys worth.
