The Evans people had the crowd
there, but the Fair itself was per
feet shake down. To call it Fair
is a misnomers 1t was anything
but an exhibition of worth and
merit. Our boys all got away from
there Friday night and all of one ac-
cord in bold denunciation of its
management, and delcare their in
tention of never going back. The
races amounted to nothing. all in
terest dropped out of them Mason.
county horsemen went there with
good flesh at great expense but
were not even allowed start.
Everybody wanted to see S. N.
Parks horse in the race, but after
all were on the track ready for the
go, the race was declared off. The
officers learning their mistake came
around and offered Mr.. Park SIS
for an exhibition race against the
best time made on the track. They
misjudged the size and character
of our people. The paltry sum
was speedily rejected. Park would
not let them look in his stable for
suoh sum. The whole Fair was
gotten up to knock down, drag out
and filch the pockets of every man,
woman and child on the ground.
Fired with indignation, intensified
by the heat of the day, the situa-
ton grew desperate, and for time
storm clouds were threatening. A
poor crippled fellow who had con-
tracted with, to give balloon as
cension was unfortunate in having
had his balloon take fire while in
hating it and it burned up. This
stirred the directors up again who
declared tho poor fellow had done
it purposely and instead of paying
him, tried to run him off the
ground, as many as twenty or
more officers following him with
clubs and rocks, until public senti.
mont brought them to their feet
again. Had it not been for by
ISLANDERS the boy would have suf-
fered personal harm. Suffice 10
say they allowed him not cent for
either damages or board. They
will not get him back. There were
many who went there only to see
his ascension-the Fair company
got the benefit of it of course. The
directors acted like lot of rough
potato peelers from up the hollers,
that never knew what Fair is.
If the people up that way will
como down here this week they
will see Fair as is Fair and how a
great exhibition can be conducted
in manly open handed way with
both profit and pleasure to every
body.
About one month ago my child,
which is fifteen months old, had an
attack of diarrhoea accompanied by
vomiting. / gaveit such remedies
as are usually given in such cases,
but as nothing gave relief, we sent
for physician and it was under his
care for a week. AT this time the
child had been sick for about ten
days and was having about twenty
five operations of the bowels every
twelve hours, and we were convin-
ced that unless it soon obtainedre
lief it would not live. Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy was recommended, and /
decided to try it. 1 soon noticed
