It VIII be Better than a Fourth Of
July and Funnler thana
Three-RlnQ Circus.
Premiums Offered In Everything
and Everything Will be
Absolutely Free.

United States at this, the dullest
time of the year, it is the village of
Lamberton. The greatest activity
is manifested in all directions.
Everybody is working, everybody
is hustling, everybody is talking
talking about the Free Street Fair,
which will be held there the goth
and Both of this month. The work has
been very SYSTEMATICALLY divided,
and everybody has his work and his
place, and everybody is doing his
work and keeping his place. The
ladies have been given charge Of the
fancy and culinary departments and
they are giving their brethren hot
race in the way of getting ready.
Some people claim that women can
never work together in harmony,
but if you hear any one say SO just
direct him to Lamberton and his
mind will soon be disabused. In
fact, everything is blooming and
prosperous, and a successful street
fair is now assured if we have good
weather and good health.
The officers of the Association are
as follows: Frank Clague, presi-
dent; H. G. Warnke, vice-president;
A. NJ. Clark, treasurer; L. Redding,
secretary, Albert H. Emerson, cor
responding secretary; and as
executive committee, w. G. Starr,
A. J. Goddard and Pliny Terry.
But unless the committees should
have aided as they have, and unless
the citizens should have come for
ward as they have, these officers
would have had hard time of it..
They are all practical men and they
were selected with care, but unless
they had gotten the money they
could not be as boastful of evident
success. Money is the great ques-
ton. You can't run street fair on
promises and tomorrow forth
comings any more than you can run
a county fair on 5000 State aid and
credit. Lamberton business men
know this and have already sub
scribed 5000, and more coming right
along. They are all satisfied. Pros
poets are good. All they need for
the days is good weather and fair
wino.
The work has been very nicely
divided. Two separate committees
of ladies have charge of the fancy
and culinary exhibits respectively
Mrs. w. G. Starr being chairman O
the first and Mrs. John Street of the
second. Both committees have pre-
pared their premiums, and are
working hard to get their country
| lady friends to come in with theil
handiwork and dainty dishes. The
fancy work committee offer premiums
for everything from rag-carpet t.
Valenciennes lace; the cookery com
mittee gives prizes on anything
from the historical bareback to thu
airy angel food The most expert
enced and tender bachelor of The
village, with the assistance of two
ladies, form the committee OF
Babies. They are all manifest
ing an unusual interest in all little
: cherubs, which has never beer
noticed before. They give prize:
on everything from the fattes
yearling to the cutest and brightes
six-months-old phenomenon. Geo
Doster, one Of the safest and mos
determined bachelors, is chairman
of this committee Address him i
you have anything in his line TO
