THE CHEAPEST PAINT

IHE CHEAPEST PAINT
The economy in using
Devoe ready paint is in re-
suits more than price. It
covers more and lasts longer
than lead and oil, two to
one; ten to one of some paint.
Use Devoe; and figure cost
by the square yard, or year,
not by the gallon; it's the
cheapest paint made, figured
that way.
Ask the nearest dealer for Devoe;
insist on having it. Our pamphlet on
painting free if you mention this paper.

BIG FAIR NEXT WEEK.
Big Crowd, Good Time, Great Success

The largest, best and most successful
fair ever held since the organization of
the society will be given next week.
Every ot1icerand superintendent of the
various departments have great conf
dence in the co operation of the people
and everything at present tends to
show and lead them to believe that
their hopes are not greater than will
be the success of the fair Already q
goodly number of horses, cattle, hogs
and sheep have been entered and stalls
and pens engaged. The class of stock
to be exhibited is as good as can be
produced and compares favorably with
the best stock of the state. The ex-
hibit of farm products may not be
quite as extensive as in the previous
years owing to the excessive dry
weather but regardless of all difficult
les and drawbacks, the people of the
county can afford to share in pre-
senting good exhibit. as there are
fields of corn, wheat, oats and etc.
equal that of any year; and to keep up
the reputation of the county, EVERYONE
should make an effort in this DEPART
ment and see that large and credit.
able exhibit is made.
In the speed ring there is no cues
ton but that all lovers Ct good horses
and good races will be pleased beyond
their expectations, as already some of
the stock have been entered in the
races.
We will not attempt to give all the
special attraction, which the society
have arranged to interest and amuse
the people, they will have to be seen to
be appreciated.
Tuesday morning the grounds will
be dotted and fairly covered with tents.
shows, booths, stands, swings and
such other adornment as 90 to make
up good and successful fair. Every
officer and uperintendents with cour-
teous assistants will be at their post of
duty early, ready and willing to do all
they can and hope to look after the ex-
hibition in such a way that every one
will be fully satisfied. If any one is
neglected or overlooked it will be un-
intentional as the fair is for the peonle
and is theirs, SO come early, make vo1r
entries, look at the exhibit, visit with
your friends, see the amusements
watch the races, have good time and
go home happy, having done YOUR
share to make the fair success.

The two-year-old county race is Gre
ating quite an interest for the coming
county fair. There are seven colts en-
tered and each expects his colt to get
solne pace hoping at leasC That he
won't be the seventh man. All are
mere colts yet and may be too nervous
to get past the Judges stand. Joe Moon
has fine colt and if he don't lose it's
head hopes to come out in the lead.
Marion Jenkins of Brayton thinks that
if the others are not too fast he will
surely win. Harp Wilson and F. Rice
are both sure of second place at least
and if their colts don't go crazy to win
q heat apiece to show that their steeds
are alright. Will Dryden thinks the
others may get in mix up and he will
come out on top. Jim Hunter rests
easy on the fact that his colt can beat
any colt that can't beat him. So with
confidence and expectancy they all go
into the race expecting to win but
willing to abide by the results.
