MISSOURI STREET FAIRS.
No Matter Who Originated Them, They
are All Right-The Mexico Ledger
Had Something to do With This .
Enterprise in Missouri.

1t does not make any material diff
ference who originated the Street
Fairs in Missouri, they are a success.
The first two Street Fairs held in Mis-
souri, were held at Mexico and Hanni-
bal on the Same days. The Hannibal
Street Fair Is due to the push and en-
terprise of Hon. John A. Knott, Of the
Hannibal Journal. Correspondence
in the LEDGER office will show that
the Hannibal Fair was started after
the arrangements for the Mexico Fair
were well under way. This did not
keep the Hannibal Fair from being a
brilliant success.
The first mention of Street Fairs in
Missouri was made in the Mexico
LEDGER and grew out Of the fact that
in our National Editorial Association
the editor of this paper came in con-
tact with men from other States, who
knew that Street Fairs were o success,
and that some of leading citizens
thought the enterprise could be made
q success. The Mexico LEDGER is very
modest and willing to yield to those
who are anxious to be the "original
Street Fair editor, OF the original
Street Far promoter" We simply
state the facts In connection with the
following from the Moberly Monitor,
one of Missouri's most active and pro-
gressive papers, the city editor OF
which is Col. Wilson, brother of E. 8.
Wilson, of this city:
"Mexico has the first Street Fair in
Missouri and the best.-Mexlco LED
GER.
"That Mexico is holding q great
Street Fair there can be no doubt, and
no one 10 disposed to rob her of any
credit therefor. Her success appears
all tho greater when the fact 10 known
that the enterprise was conceived and
carried into effect by q very few en-
terprising men, who had to contend
with lethargy on the part of the peo-
pie of the town and the lack of funds.
As we have stated before, Mexico
raised q fund not much larger than
Moberly spent for attractions, and
that she has made such q magnificent
display with 90 little money 10 indeed
splendid tribute to the men behind
the enterprise. The Mexico Fair 10 q
success, and great crowds have been in
which 10 also remarkable
when We consider the fact that the
Fair is Invested of all carnival feat
ures and there has been no effort to
cater to the love Of fun. 1t is a purely
agricultural and industrial exhibit.
We predict that next year there will
be no trouble to raise money for q
Street Fair in Mexico. The people Of
Mexico are like other Missourians,
they "have to be shown" But this is
not Just what We started out to say.
We can understand and excuse the
Mexican enthusiasm, but We really
cannot allow the claim made by the
LEDGER to 60 unchallenged. Mexico
has not the first Street Fair in Mis-
souri,. Our venerable n~eighbor, Han
ntbal, shares the honor with her. But
what difference does it make? These
two towns may have the honor of the
first Fairs, but Moberly will have the
best Fair"

The Poultry Display.

The display of poultry at the Mexico
Street Fair was one of the leading
features and attracted a great deal Of
attention. The poultry industry in
Audrain county is prospecting and all
of our farmers are taking an interest
in this matter. The management Of
the Street Fair employed a special
Judge, r. ]. Finley, of Macon City,
Mo-, and the awards gave splendid
satisfaction. The good results grow
ing out Of the poultry exhibition alone
+ worth all the expenses of the
Street Fair.
