(From Fridays Daily Herald }

Today marks the end of the Maury
County Fair, after four days of success
that surpassed the most sanguine expec'
tations. The attendance today has
probably surpassed the 5000 mark and
the average for the whole fair has
been larger than at any ever before
held 10 this county. The record made
is one of which the association should be
proud, as it is seldom surpassed.
The grand stand is packed and jam
med this afternoon. the open space in
front is crowded, Floral Hall is we'll fill
ed and large number are scattered
over the grounds.
A gloom was cast over the assemblage
by the sudden and sad death of Mr..
Thomas, but an effort was made to car
nv out the programme as originally in
tended. The directors held meeting
early this morning after Mr.. Thomas
death and considered the advisabilIty OF
closing out of respect to his memory. 1t
was clearly evident that this could not
well be done. The crowd had already
begun to assemble Visitors had made
their arrangements to be here today and
could not stay over or come back tomor-
row. But most important of all exhibit
tors and contestants had all arranged to
enter contests today and an adjourn
ment over until tomorrow would have
meant the practical end of the fair. Mr..
Thomas would himself have doubt
less said to go on with the fair could
his will have been known.

was well pleased with our fair.
The Guest House turned away more
people than there were already in the

could accommodate no more. There
will be scattering, however. tonight
and tomorrow.
There are many visitors here today
from Pulaski, Franklin and surround
ing towns.
Mule races are of more interest to
many than the contests of the thorough
breds. A mule when in running
race, is liable to do almost any old
thing except run. The instinct of self
preservation is stronger in mule than
probably any other animal. Who ever
heard of mule hurting himself through
his own fault. If horse had been in
the quandery in which an old gray mule
found himself yesterday the horse
would have been hurt. The mule SHE'D

stand. The horse might have broken

thing left for him to do was to stop
short his run, and he stopped it within
the space of about four feet.

When old age comes on, catarrhal dis

is their safeguard. Peruna is the only
remedy yet devised that meets these
cases exactly.
Such cases cannot be treated locally,
nothing but IN effective systemic REM

what Peruna is.
