OLD FASHIONED COUNTRY FAIR

The country fair and cattle show
has gone it's way. Our ancestors
would turn in their graves were
they to know of this state of affairs
as for over century the good old
harvest festival has been second
only to Thanksgiving. Early fairs
were naturally primitive entertain
ments, covering shows of the best
of blooded farm stock, contests be-
fore the plow or hauling of great
rocks or drags by strong oxen well
schooled by their farmer owners. In
the one big hall on the old fair
grounds there always were prize
pumpkins, enormous in area and
weight, ears of corn of all varieties,
plates of grapes, pears, apples,
bottles Of preserves, prize cakes and
pies, exhibits from grandma's hand
of knitting and darning, embroidery
by the girls of the household. The
housewife prided herself on her
splendidly turned out loaf bread.

President Merritt N. Willis of
the Levy Court. who recently IN
derwent an operation in Philadel
phia, has returned to his duties in
the Levy Court. Mr.. Willis has
displayed keen regard for the in
terests of the tax payers in his work
as the head of the county govern
ing body. The court yesterday di-
rectedi its attorney toproceed against
two collectors who had not settled
with the county This action illus
trates that the present Levy Court
recognizes that its duty is to the
people and that Office holders over
whom the court has supervision,
must give strict account of their
stewardship. Through such admin
istration as the present body is CIV
ing the county, the tax payers may
hope for a further decrease in the
tax rate and for substantial i'm
provement in public property.

City Charter Discussion.

The charter committee of the
Board of Trade and the City Coun-
cilmen continue their discussion on
the subject of a new city charter.
Last evening they considered the
duties of the Mayor and of City
Council. These discussions should
result in good to the city, which
can very well experience some i'm
proVement in administration. Yet
after all is sai1 and done, effective
administration depends more upon
the efficiency aud patriotism {, the
citizens in office, than upon pre-
scribed regulations.
