In quiet but very effective way
the officers and the friends of the
Lexington County Fair Association
have been industriously at work
making series of arrangements for
ths successful pulling off OF the
County Fair which is to open on
Tuesday morning, October 21st ult..
and continue fer three days, closing Oh
Thursday evening the 23ed OF the
said month. The management has
made every possible arrangement
consistent with the limited means at
their command to provide suitable
and attractive amusements for the
entertainment of the visitors and it
now remains the duty of the people
OF the county at large to unite With
them in the efforts they have made
to make the fair the best one yet
given. This they can do at little
or no expense to themselves and
without the loss of time. There is
not a farmer in the county but what
has scme meritorious article that
would be an attraction in itself and
at the same time reflect great credi'
upon the farming reputation and
pride of it's grower. There are but
few, if any stock raisers who have not
some animal that will compare very
favorable in point of blood and build,
with those of any section of this
broad land of ours. The ladies in
their various industrial pursuits in
cident to their sex, have State wide
reputation Of being experts in the
several branches of household and
domestic avocations and these can
contribute largely BY exhibiting
samples of their handiwork 20 the
success of our own enterprise, which
appeals to the merits ofits exhibitions
as we'll as to the patriotism and
county pride Of the people Of Lex
ington for that liberal support and
patronage that will enable it to faith
fully perform the functions of en-
coursging agriculture, assisting man
ufacsure, ennobling labor and hasten
ing the dawn of that era OF pros
perity and internal development for
the accomplishment CT this much to
be desired end We all should labor.
Let Us all 60 to work at once and
not cease our labor until the success,
of the fair is an assured fact.
The teachers attending the Sum-
mer School met with the committee
on entertainments of the Fair Associ-
alton in the court house one night
last week, and the following pro-
grsmme was adopted for the enter
tainment OF the visitors during the
fair and to promote its success.
First, on Tuesday of Fair Week,
there will be an invisible parade con-
sissing of about so young men dress
ed in every conceivable fantastic way.
They will parade through the streets
as we'll as upon the grounds.
On Wednesday the special feature
OF this day will be the School children.
On this day the admission to school
children will be 10 cents each, and
for teachers Is cents each.
Thursday will be the biggest day
of the fair and the feature will be a
Baby Show, and the baby winning

FUNERAL OF MIR. BOWERS.-The funeral Of Thomas Bowers, who died suddenly Monday forenoon, was held yesterday afternoon under the auspices of the Eagles and was well attended by the members of that fraternity and his many personal friends.
 DEATH OF MRS. FANNIE JOHN SON.-Mrs. Johnson, wife of General Royal A. Johnson of Tucson, died night before last at Cincinnati. She was on her way home from visit with rela- tives in New York, where she had been for the last six months. At the time of her death she was stopping with her sister, Mrs. Volney Elston. The remains have been taken 10 the former home of Mrs. Johnson at Syracuse. N. Y, for burial. She leaves, beside her husband, daughter, Mrs. Emma Fay Tor, wife of MT. Charles Taylor of the office of the surveyor general.
 A MERRY GO-ROUND.-There was a great chatter amid which there was much yelling in the rear of the county jail yesterday shortly after noon. Peo- pie from all that part of the town quickly gathered under the impression that a jail break was going on. At first it could not be seen what was i'll progress There was only a blur on the landscape, out of which was heard a great deal of swearing in the Chinese tongue Whatever it was was going round and round. The spectacle finally resolved itself into two horses. a wagon and a Chinese driver. The biz Tn one of the horses mouth had broken and the Chinaman was making the best possible use of the other. He could not prevent the team from running away with him: that is, he could not control the movements of the horses to his OWE satisfaction, but he could keep them from going any place. The ground in that vicinity looked as if a horsepower threshing machine had been in opera tion there.
 ELKS' MEMORIAL.-The annual memorial. service of the Benevoi 'f and Protective Order of Elks has be- come an esta blished custom in this city. Though nearly all societies have their annual memorial day and observe it sacredly. no local society has taken so much interest and gone to SO much eX- pense as have the Elks to make the observance of this particular event an occasion of note. The purpose of it is not to parade the order before the world in a vainglorious way. but to impress the world with the truth that the mem ory of honorable members does not per ish with the snuffing of the candle oi life. The programmes for these Occa- sions have been universally entertain ing in that only the best of music and the most carefully prepared addresses are given, calling attention on this day above all others to the cardinal virtues on which the foundation of the order | securely rests The memorial service for this year will take place in Doris l theatre next Sunday afternoon at 1 o'clock and invitations are now issued
 to the many friends as well as mem | bers of the order

IT'S A BIG CONTRACT.
Receiver Of the Tontine Savings As
;. ISOLATION Has Job on His Hands.

Receiver Of the I ontine Savings As.
= ISOLATION Has Job on His Hands.
Concerning the affairs of the Ton
tine Savings Association. which had an
agency in this city and which has a
number Of members here, the Mime
apolis Journal says:
George p. Flannery, receiver of the
Tontine Savings Association, the 'dia-
mond contract concern dissolved by
Judge MCGEE, finds his hands full, as
the business was one OF great magni-
tude. It will be some time before he
can make statement of the assets
and liabilities, but he intimates that
the assets will be much larger than
the public might expect.
"The business is greatly involved
and Mr.. Flannery has not yet mastered
the. details. One of the first questions
was as to whether the holders of ma
tured contracts were entitled to any
preference as aginst others still max
ing payments. Under the system of
the Tontine association patrons were
required to pay $1,25 per week. These
contracts, at the option OF the holders,
matured in 80, As or 60 weeks. Most
OF the investors elected to take the CO.
week option. In that time they would
have paid in $50, and each one was en-
titled to a fawless, commercial white
diamond Of two carats, worth 5000.
In case they did not want the diamond
they could take $3.50 in cash. OF course,
1t was impossible for any legitimate
investment to earn 100 per cent in so
weeks, and to redeem the contracts as
they matured 1t was necessary to in
crease the membership. The fund for
redemption would, however, be aug
mented somewhat by "lapses.' AS
was plainly shown in Judge McGee,s
memorandum the greater the number
OF contracts outstanding the greater
would be the number of new members
required to meet the obligations. The
growth OF the association would neces-
sarily have to be by geometrical pro-
gression and only by this sort of an
"endless chain" scheme could 1T con-
tinue to do businesses. The chain is
now broken and Mr. F1annery has the
task Of picking up the loose ends.
Those whose contracts have ma
tured insist that they are entitled to
the full amounts or for such a pro
rata share of the assets as may come
In the hands of the receiver. Mr.. Elan
merry will ask the court for instruc-
tons
Suits will undoubtedly be brought
against tho five directors to recover
the dividends declared by them with
such unfailing regularity. 1t is con-
tended that they illegally appropriated
$1ss.000 of the funds to their persona,
use under the guise Of dividends, and
under the order of the court the re-
ceiver is to recover as much of it as
spossible"

the Y. N. G. A.
Plan to Demonstrate Benefits Of
Indoor Athletics and Stimu-
late Interest.
Exhibition Well Attended at
Finkle's Hall..Local Athletes
Participate.

Quite a good-sized crowd was present
at Finkle's hall Thursday night to VIII
ness the exhibition of indoor athletics
given by the gymnasium team of Iowa
College. The Grinnell men We're brought
to the city by Secretary j. II. Telling
ham. of the Railway Y. M. c. A., and
Mr.. D. v. Mitchell, assistant instructor
Of gymnastics at Iowa College, who mas
had charge of the winter classes in the
Y. NJ. C.. A. here. The object of the ex-
hibition was to show the members OF
the local class what good training could
develop in the way of indoor athletics,
and to stimulate an interest in physical
work.
Professor Walter Davis. who has
charge of the physical culture work In
Iowa College, accompanied the team to
the city and was on the floor thruout
the evening directing his men with the
assistance of Mr.. Mitchell, who had
charge of a few Of his class who gave
a short exhibition in the high dive and
elephant walk after the college men had
finished.
The work of the college team was OF
q high order and was decidedly pleas
ing to the spectators. One of the most
difficult features, altho perhaps not APP
peaIing so much to the audience, was
the giant swing on the horizontal bars
by Joe Walleser. Mr.. Walleser is one
of the best gymnasts OF the college and
last Saturday was accorded second hon-
ors at the meet of the Intercollegiate
Gymnastic Association at Madison,
wis. In company with Mr.. e. A. Rule.
who has just finished his seasons work
as physical director of the State Uni
versity Of Iowa Y. NJ. c. A., and comes
here to remain until after the summer
camps with the Railway Y. NJ. G. A.,
Mr.. Walleser and c. G. Benson, another
Iowa College athlete, gave a pretty ex-
hibition on the bars. Work on the
necked vaulting horse, in tumbling and
other lines formed an exhibition that
made up nice evenings entertain
ment.
Mr.. Mitchell, in closing. gave an ex-
hibition of Illuminated club swinging
that was very pleasing.
