THE WELDON FAIR.
Big Success and Great Crowds in
Attendance-Special Features and
Free Amusements Provided by the
MANAGEMENT.

The Weldon Fair came fully up to
expectations last week. The ex-
hibits were very good in most of the
departments and the special attrac-
tions were Of high order and I'M
usually interesting and entertaining
to the large crowds present. The
racing was fine, some very fast horses
being entered.
The free entertainment provided
was ahead Of anything seen at fair
before. There was Wild West
Show, breakneck riding, standing
Roman races. chariot races, balloon
ascensions, etc. Thursday afternoon
two ascensions were made, both as
good as ever seen in those parts. and
this feature was greatly enjoyed by
the thousands present.
The weather was good and the
crowds large. The fair was success
from every point of view and the
management and the visitors were
highly pleased. Great credit is due
President Enry and Secretary Green
for the splendid success they made of
the fair this year and the good time
given the visitors. In addition to
the fair proper abundant free enter
talnments were provided and the
amusements were of high order
much above the average of such
things.
There were numerous side shows,
some good, some Indifferent, none
altogether bad, but the gambling fea-
lures should have been excluded.
The three shell men (anothor form of
the three card monte), the prize pack
age men and game of chance men Of
Whatever nature, are no part of an
agricultural fair and ought not to be
allowed to ply their nefarious games
of fleeing the ignorant and gullible
people who frequent such places.
The ten-cent fakes, the side shows
and other features of the Midway are
not in themselves Objectionable. In
fact, it would not be fair in the
estimation Of some people, if they
were not there, but the gam blers
ought to be kept away.
We had the pleasure of meeting
many Of our friends and greatly en-
joyed our visit to the Weldon fair.

The clear gasoline should be poured off

had abandoned the pumps and were climb

The captain, weak from anxiety and
equally discouraged, shook his head and
begged the men to work a little longer.
They refused and dashed themselves to
the rigging. Then Mrs. Kelsey rushed out
of the battered cabin. Waving hand to
the men, she cried
For Gods sake stick to the pumps.
Help will surely come. ! know you're
not towards. Come on, now!
She went to work herself and her cour-
ageous example gave the men new life
They sprang to the pumps and worked
with superhuman energy, but even this was
unayailing and the Ward was settling
down when the Norwegian steamer The

distress signals flying on the Ward and
ordered a lfeboat out. 1t was stove in

For two hours they strove to reach the
schooner and take off Mrs. Kelsey and the
others. When they finally made fast to
the schooner the captains brave wife lay
limp in the cabin. her strength gone. Sine

back undertaken. After hours of labor
all were rescued ana cared for on the
steamer.
