EDITOR ADVOCATE:
l notice in your paper of last weeks is
sue the report of an interview between
Mr.. w. B. O'Connell, President of the
Mt Sterling Street Fair and Carnival Co.
and your reporter in which the former
SAYS: I" 1t is wonder the Fair Company
made anything, as the graft was so
great of those who furnished any mater
ial, or did any work for them, in the con-
struction of fence, platforms, etc. He
also said "t the use of lumber and cost of
constructing fence and platforms, cost as
mnch as house and lot" / presume he
meant in Smithville, for l am sure he
would not take any such price for his
10 vacant lot on Sycamore street.
The Fair Company asked for bids on
the construction of 400 lineal feet of
solid plank fence feet high, and receiv-
ed quite a number of estimates on same.
When they ascertained the bid of the
Star Planning Mill Company was the low
est they came to me with an article or
statement accepting our proposition, bet
inserted I ,25o #. of fencing instead of
|, 200 feet. told them our bid was low
enough on the original proposition, but
that we would make them donation OF
the so feet extra; and when his advance
man of the .Bostock-Ferari Company
came and made out bill for the plat
forms, which amounted to about 400 #.
we made them a proposition on that
-amount of lumber with nails necessary
for putting up same, and eight carpent-
ers for one day only, as their leading
show man" said he could do all the work
with that number of men in one day, and
they accepted the proposition as soon as
their "boss man. told them he paid more
for the same material and work in Lex
inyton. We counted the one days woIk
at Sr6, but instead of using them one day
they used them over two days, costing us
more than double what we counted.
| Still we took our medicine like little
men" and made no kick or presented any
extra bill. 1t took $4,000 feet of lumber
| for the whole outfit, all of which is DAM
aged and 5000 feet cut shorter than SIT
| lengths and have sold over 2,ooo feet for
wood. 1t cost $40 to take it down and
take the nails out.
Yet Mr.. O'Connell insinuates that ev-
erv one who furnished any material OF
| did any work were trying to rob the Fair
Company. The truth is, the showmen
made him believe at the time they con.
tracted to come here, they would only
want a few small platforms, about or
10 feet, but when they come to put them
up they wanted about IS, the smallest 1c
X IS and some of them 35 x as and made
of pinch lumber. Now that is what gave
Mr.. O'Connell that terrible case of dys-
pepsia and threw him off his base so he
had not crawled back the day he had the
| interview mentioned. AS to his steering
clear of us next year, please inform him
that if he is fortunate enough to hold that
great office another year of which he is
so proud, he need not worry one min
ute about any of the men who furnished
the lumber or worked on the construc
ton of the platforms running after him
for job, in order to graft him.
Respt. Yours,
w. T. TYLER.

pecially enjoyed by the grandchil

the features of the afternoon. When
