Business Men Decide to Give the Peo.
pie Great Show This
Fall

The Business Mems Association of
Denison has decided upon the holding
OF great Carnival next September.
1t Is to be no cheap John affair, the
hutchie-kutchie feature is to be cut out
but it will .e a genuine sky-scraping,
soul.inspiring street fair with all the
best features that go to make this form
of entertainment so popular,
There was some discussion before
the question was decided and there are
still some who doubt the wisdom of all
the expense entailed in giving street
fair worthy of Denison. The question
having been decided, however, every
one is now going into it heart and soul.
That is The Denison way; that is the
way that lands Governors and Con-
gressmen and Carnegie libraries and
all sorts of good things for Denison.
other county seat towns look like thirty
cents Mexican as they watch Denison
go by 1t is d little hard sometimes to
yield to the wishes of the majority, but
next time you may be with the majori-
ty and then you will expect the other
fellows to yield as gracefully as you
have done.
To 60 back to the street fair. Denison
will hold one. 1t will hold successful
one. 1t will be free from improper
features. The gambler, the prostitute
and the thug will be told to move on
and it will be clean show for clean
people. 1t is proposed to have the
business streets lined with booths at
which the various merchants will dis.
play the best goods and will give
special prizes for the different things
the farmers of Crawford county pro-
duce. There will be prizes for the best
corn, the best wheat, the best potatoes,
the best bread, the best vegetables and
the best live stock. The REVIEW is
planning on series of baby shows,
open to all the youngsters in the coun-
ty. There will be prizes for different
ages so that no mamma" can com.
