The fact that similar friction existed
In other States was also noted. and

The Holly Fair.

The citizens of Holly may well feel
proud of the showing which they
made at the fair last Thursday aud
Friday. For town aud farming
community only three years old, We
do not believe it could have been
equalled anywhere else in the coun
try. The association only took hod
of the matter about two months ago,
but the energetic and thorough uan
ner in which they did their WORK,
proves that the members were hust-
iers of the most approved style.
Over one Thousand visitors from
the county and outside points visited
Holly during the two days, and all
we're enthusiastic in praise of the fair
and the town and its people. The
largest delegation went from Lamar,
and many of our citizens went down
the first day and remained over until
the close.
The displays would have done
credit to an old settled farming com
munity. The agricultural display,
including all kinds of grains, alfalfa,
melons, vegetables, fruits, honey, etc.,
without end, filled the big barn of
the Amity company to overfowing,
and was the chief attraction. 1t was
so fine that Fred Mohl, who Of course
had bunch of land seekers on hand,
had no trouble in selling land to all
of them.
In the stock display the sheep and
hogs were the especial attraction be-
ing greatly admired by all visitors,
but strange to say the cattle, of which
the country ought to make the best
display, was nothing to brag about.
The poultry exhibit was excellent,
and the horses fair.
But the chief pride of Prowers
county is the large and healthy stock
of babies, and this was the most pop
ulsr exhibit of all. The three unfor-
tunate men, who had to choose the
handsomest baby out of the twenty
or thirty lusty youngsters on exhibi
ton. were wise i'll taking to the woods
Immediately.
There was long and interesting
program of races for each day, and
it was much enjoyed by the specta.
tors. The two races in which the
most interest was centered was the
cowgirl race, which was contested by
seven cowgirls, and the five mile re.
lay cowboy race The track was in
splendid condition.
The only accident which happened
was in the cowgirl race Miss Ingham
from Amityville was thrown from her
horse on her head, and remained in
an unconscious condition until the
following day, but we are glad to
state is now reported to be all right
again.
The Holly people say they wish to
make the fair county one, and want
Lamar to have it next year, and the
proposition is now up to our people
to accept or turn down.
