good will; readiness to do good to

serious objections to changing the

of the fair yesterday being fully
carried out, and prevented msny
who would otherwise have attend
ed, IL was the banner day of the
exhibition. Fully 5000 people
were In attendance, all OF whom
were delighted with the exhibits,
the racing and the sights In gener-
al. Had the weather been more
favorable there would have been
at least 10000 people present. The
weather has been threatening al
most throughout the week, which
naturally kept many away.
As the Review Indicated.
1t was just as the On Review
predicted 1t would be, that the
twenty first annual fair of the Ty-
ler County Association, would be
the best In the history of the or
ganization. The streets of Middle,
bourne and the fair grounds were
one living mass of humanity yes,
terday from early dawn until late
In the evening. One had to weave
and Intervene through the I'M
mense crowds In order to gain any
point In the town or on the
grounds. All roads leading to
Middlebourne this week, especially
yes erday, have been lined with
vehicles of every conceivable de-
vice. Many people remained In
Middlebourne over night to witness
the last days program, and nur1er
Gus others would have stayed but
could not get lodging in the town.
1t was by tar the largest crowd
ever before assembled at the capital
of Tyler county. Everybody was
In the best of humor and bent on
having a jolly good time. 1t was
similar In many respects to an old
fashioned family reunion. The
motto of each Individual In attend
ance was "eat drink and be merry"
Balloon Ascensions
The. balloon ascensions were a
grand sight and were among the
most pleasing features of the great
exhibition. The aranaunt went
higher yesterday than at any prev.
ious day during the tair, and was
witnessed by thousands of anxious
people. A lady and a gentleman
went up together and 1t was the
most successful ascension ever be
fore witnessed on the grounds, the
balloon going almost out of sight.
In fact they went to such height
that many persons became alarmed
thinking they could not cut loose,
but both landed safely upon the
ground.
Fine Racing
The racing yesterday was of a
very high order and was equal In
many respects to the speed con-
tests seen upon the track at our
State fair, and was admired by one
OF the most enthusiastic crowds
ever before assembled on the
grounds. The grand stand was
taxed to Its utmost capacity, and
the waving of hats, handkerchlefs
and flags by both young and old,
was a beautiful sight to behold
Our people generally are great
lovers Of horse racing, and that
they are thoroughly familiar with
the rules regulating racing was
evinced yesterday. The running
races In the afternoon were fine

LAST DAY OF FAIR
Thousand People in Attendance
The Races and Exhibits the Best
The Fat Girls Were Great Draw
The Closing Day

and enjoyed by everybody to the
utmost degree, A number of very
fast horses were entered In this
contest, which was by far The bes.
ever before pulled off on the trackt
Fine Stock Exhibits
The stock exhibits far excelled
any previous display yesterday, and
consisted of a general variety OF
thoroughbred cattle, sheep, hogs
and horses and some handsome
premiums were distributed today
among our progressive farmers.
We note with much satls fiction the
rapid strides that the farmers of Ty-
ler county are making In this d.
rection. There Is nothing that can
equal the standardized animal,
and we hope every stock raiser
throughout the length ard breadth
oi our county will continue to I'm.
prove their stock until perfection
Is accomplished In this important
matter.
Lavish Display
The floral hall never contained a
more artistic or lavish assortment
of exhibits than at the one that IS
Just drawing to close. The mer-
chants and other business men of
this city and Middlebourne were
represented, and their magnificent
display attracted great attention
and were universally admired by
the large throng of people. Their
enterprise cannot be too highly
commended, and We hope next year
to see numerous other business
men fall In line In this direction.
The Fat Girls
The, two fat girls, the argest of
which tipped the beaM at 6S3
pounds, excited much curiosity and
were the greatest drawing cards on
the grounds. The largest one Is
unable to walk without assistance,
as her limbs will not support her
great weight and she Is so feshy
she cannot dirk from tin cup or
any small vessel.

The Fat Girls
Commendablc

Avery commendable feature of the
fair was, that no gambling or games
of chance were permitted on the
grounds. The Association cannot
be too highly praised for their wise
action In this matter, aud we will
venture the assertion that 1t Is the
only fair In the State of West Vir'
ginia where gambling Is not tolerat,
ed The way innocent people were
buncoed at the Wetzel county fair,
was outrageous and disgrace to
both the Association and the citi-
ze1s of New Martinsville.

Flatterins Success

All.those who attended the clos
Ing day of the exposition were high
ly pleased with the program rend-
cred. While the attendance was
not quite so large as Yesterday
there were nevertheless, very
good crowd of enthusiastic people
present. The day was An ideal one
for an outing of the kind. A cool
breeze continued almost throughout
the day, which added materially to
the enjoyment of the occasion.
It can be truthfully and con-
scientiously stated that the twenty
first Anual fair of the Tyler County
Exposition and Fair Association,
was a hattering success in every
sense of the word and reflects great
credit on all those who are con-
nected in any way with the organ,
ization.

WHY THEY PUSH.
7. h. Thomas Recommends and Pushes
MI-O-na, the True Flesh Forming Food.

1T Is a pleasure to sell a medicine,
when my customers come in after
wards and tell me how much good it
has done them said +. ii. Thomas,
the enterprising druggist, 10 an Argus
man, land that is why l like to sell
and recommend Mi-o-na. the flesh
forming food and cure for stomach
troubles.
Il started its sale in Rock Island
by giving a signed guarantee bond
with every purchase to the effect that
if Mi-o-na did not cure Indigestion and
all stomach troubles and build up
good. sound, healthy flesh, l would re-
turn the money. This caused a lot of
talk and so many people were inn
pressed by this offer that my clerks
have been busy selling Mi-o-na ever
since.
Il have so much faith in this prep
aration that l am going to guarantee
it, and will return the money to any
purchaser of Mi-o-na' who tells me
that its use has not caused a gain in
flesh or who has been troubled with
Indigestion since using it,
Anyone who is thin, weak and I'M
bles whatever. is invited to leave so
cents on deposit at my store and take
home a box of Mi-o-na. with the I'M
derstanding that if it does not in
crease the weight, regulate digestion
and cure dyspepsia, the money can be
withdrawn on demand without any
questions.
Il do not know but what l would
be willing to pay interest on the de-
posit."
I. ii. Thomas has tried to make his
guarantee as plain and simple as pos
sible. Everyone who is annoyed by
thinness, who is troubled with indi-
gestion, or who feels weak and run
down, should take advantage of this
guarantee offer on Mona. as he is
willing to assume all the risk and pay
for the medicine himself if it does
not cure.

privileges. The astute men at the head
of the concern saw possibilities of de-
velopment on banking lines not ap-
parent in the manufacture of chemicals
and decided to make the business a
banking one. To retain the privilege
however, 1t was necessary to manufac-
ture chemicals, and so then, as today,
an admirable pretense was made of do
ing this. In the fine establishment OF
the great Chemical National bank on
Broadway a little shop is apportioned

nal treatment is an endless, hopeless
task. Some simple wash or ointment
is often beneficial when the skin is
much inhamed or itches, but you can t
depend upon local remedies for perma-
nent relief, for the blood is continually
throwing off impurities which irritate
and clog the glands and pores of
the skin, and as long as the blood re-
mains unhealthy, just so long will the
eruptions last. To effectually and per-
manently cure skin troubles the blood
must be purified and the system
