Preparations in Progress For
Great Festival.

Prospects for a good fair were never
better. Preparations of the grounds
for this annual gathering of the people
are now in progress and will be con-
tinued up to the time of the exhibition.
The art hall is being repaired and re.
modelled and will be put in the best
condition that it has ever known. Ad-
ditional stall room will be provided by
the time it is required and the stock
pav1llions will have the necessary re-
pairs.
The entry list in all classes promises
to be exceptionally good. The year
has been fruitful one in all direc-
uons and more exhibitors have signi-
fed an intention of coming to the fair
with stock and field products than for
many years
Secretary Ed Pritchett has been
busy with all the departments of the
work and part of the new interest
that is being shown in the fair is due
directly to his personal effort and I'M
firing work. He is doing everything
he posslsIy can to make the show a
good one and. if the weather is favor
able he will be rewarded with the big
c~1S Ae-AA NAeAl N4@C tAty At1S huOhA lOI
many years.
The track events this year viii be a
feature of the weeks entertainment.
Some of the best horses in the state
viii be in the city to compete for the
purses that nave been hung up. All
classes are filling well and the list of
entries is running well along. This
is a guarantee of starters enough to
make the races of greatest interest to
all lovers of fine drivers.
Remember that next week is fair
week. Tuesday is the opening day
and for four days the great festival
will be in full blast Make prepare
lions to go and to take some one with |
you.
The conditions prevalent at the time |
made it impossible to hold fair last |
year, but what was lost last season |
has been more than made up this year. |
Everything is at its best and it is |
thought that the showing made will be
ample nough TO make up for the losses
of last season.
Wednesday, the second day of the
fair, is children's day and the Gentry |
Dog and pony show will be on the
grounds as a special attraction.

The soul is safe in heaven.
Dearest mother, we must lay thee
In the peaceful graves embrace,
But thy memory viii be cherished
Till we see thy heavenly face.
