THE BIG FAIR
AT YALE, SEPTEMBER 20,
II AND 22.
The Largest Crowd and The
Best Attractions are
Promised.
Are you Coming to the Biggest and
Best Fair Ever Held In TaIe7

Are you Coming to the Biggest and
Best Fair Ever Held In IaIe7
Interest now centers in the coming
fair, which we can assure everybody
will be the biggest and best ever held
here. We are not saying this to get a
large crowd here and offer them moth
ing for their money. but as fact not
to be disputed. Officers and business
men have this year taken hold of this
thing with determined will to have
no more snide fairs, but something
that the people will appreciate and to
bring the standard of the fair up to its
long lost glory. Therefore, shoulders
were early put to the wheel, money
was raised, scouts sent around the
country to engage the best of attrac-
tons, to induce the farmers to make
an extra effort TO bring in their blood
ed stock, grains, vegetables, etc., and a
list of attractions has been put up
which will positively and without fail
bring full and grand success to the
fair.
The Port Huron Woodmen Light
Infantry will be present through the
fair and on the second day at 3 p. NJ.
will give military drill on the
grounds, which will certainly be a
grand feature. Music has not been
neglected but the Port Huron and
Sanilac Centre bands have both
been engaged and will furnish plenty
of music besides giving a concert each
evening. A mammoth business mems
parade will come off each day and will
form an interesting sight. The time
for the parade will be at 2 p. NJ. on
second and third days. A drawing
match with teams weighing 2500 or
under for prize of pair of 81
blankets will be held on the second
day at ii A. M. and on the third day
another match for similar prize will
be held at the same hour with teams
any weight. Another happy event will
be the presence on both days of Capt.
JoeWalsh and other Santiago heroes
who will probebly be willing to haye
their arms shaken off by an admiring
host. Another attraction not to be
sneezed at, and which we don't have
chance to witness every day, will be q
genuine wedding on Thursday at 2 p.
NJ. No one will be willing to miss this.
Also for lovers of base ball game has
been arranged for the forenoon of
Thursday which will not lack in
interest.
Col. Harvey, from Port Huron, will
be another attraction, as he will have
with him the horse he used at Santiago.
Who is there that will not be satisfied
with this list? We know of no fair
which will offer anything better, and
we want one and all to come and prove
for themselves that Yale this year is to
do herself proud.
Many Port Huron people have signi-
fled their intention to be present and
one may meet any number of old
friends. Come and make Wednesday
and Thursday two great gala days.

were completed, even to the placing OF q
mortgage for $12, ,O00, 600 on the present
mileage TO secure funds for the extension,

marked to his wife that he wanted to talk
with her and asked something about
whether his granddaughter was up yet in
confused kind OF way, and then fell
over on the bed dead.

will be taken TO San Francisco on to-
nights overland for burial. that the last
respects may be paid his memory by
those among whom he labored so long
and faithfully and by whom he was un,

nobility of his character and his worth
as Christian man and citizen.
DIR. Gibson recently attended the gen
eral assembly of his church in the east
and was in Albany on his way home
seeking rest and recuperation. He had

was packed afterwards, when a very live
