HOLSTER is a first rate farmer and
during the past summer, when his
duties as college athletic coach did
not require attention, he set out and:
cultivated five and half acres of po--
tatoes near Beioit. The man who had
participated in more than one hot

who had won more than one ball
game with home run over the fence,
and Who had later coached on to VIC

good old blue overalls and set his

He kept the potatoes free from weeds,

As result of his hard summer s

And that is more than nine out of 10
college coaches can show for their

period of three or four days, though it
is freely admitted that it is u guess
pure and simple. Should decision
not be reached by the cardinals in

granted almost that those now re-

excluded from the race and that a
dark horse will be chosen.
The army Of newspaper correspond

Portland, Ore, July 31.-ln one of
the worst accidents eyer known In
this section of the country fifty peo-
pie were drowned here today in the
Williamantic river.
The accident was caused BIZ the
collapse Of the large bridge across
the river, which occurred this after.
noon when over a thousand people
were standing ON it.
Just what caused the collapse is
not known, but 1t is thought that a
certain portion Of it. was weak, and
the large crowd that happened to
be on the bridge was more than the
weak place could stand, and with a
terrific crash it went down and the
people could be seen fighting for their
lives in the water. Probably dozen
were injured In the fall and were
therefore unable to swim out, that il
those OF them who could swim.
Most OF those drowned were ladies

The large crowd on the bridge was

A STREET
FAIR FOR
THIS FALL
Merchants of the City
Favor Such an At
traction
is NOW BEING DISCUSSED
1t Has Been Suggested that A Fair
of this Kind beAeiven in BRUINS,
wick Some sne During
October.
IS NOW BEING DISCUSSED

Brunswick will, in all probability,
have a street fair this fall, al d it will
be one that will attract people from
all sections of the state. The mer-
chants are already Interested and they
will not wait until it is too late to be-
gin work.
At the meeting of a number of
merchants held yesterday afternoon
for the purpose Of making arrange
mentS to entertain the visitors that
are coming here this month on the b.
& B. excursion, the matter of street
fair came up in an informal way, and
those present expressed themselves as
being in favor of giving street fair,
probably some time in October.
That we can arrange a street fair
that will be a success there is nc
doubt, and it is truly hoped that the
merchants will not let the matter
drop, but will begin work on the fair
as soon as possible.
Brunswick now has a new territory
from which the visitors will come.
The B. & B. railroad has opened it
and the people along this line as we'll
as those on the A. & B. are always anx'
ious to come to Brunswick when there
is some attraction.
A street fair has never been given
by our merchants, and it is generally
believed that such an entertainment
would prove a success.
Let's begin the preliminary arrange
mentS at once.

sion, which is to come from Ocilla,
lIrwinville, Douglas and all other
points OH the road, as well as from
points on the A. & b.
1t was decided to have merchants
carnival on August II, l3 and ID. That
is those dates will be selected if ey.
eryting can be arranged to bring the
excursion here at that time, if not it
will occur on August l9, 20 and 81.
1t is proposed to have program for
each day of the carnival and among
the attractions scheduled so far Is bi.
cycle races, batteau and naptha
launch races around Marsh island,
military prize drill and dress parade
and baseball games.
B. J. Ford, of the B. & b., was
present at the meeting, and stated
that II the merchants of the city
would arrange the amusementS his
line would attend to the rest, and as.
sured the merchants that hundreds
Of people would be brought to the
city. Mr.. Ford said that the Ocilla
baseball club was anxious to come to
Brunswick and agreed to bring them
here free OF charge on the above oc-
casion. Baseball fever Is at its height
in Ocilla and Mr. Ford says nearly
the entire town will come down to
witness the games.
The rate to be offered by the B. &
b. will be an unusually low one, and
Mr.. Ford thinks that it will be taken
advantage Of generally by the people
along the line.
From Irwinyille alone the agent
stated that at least hundred people
would come, and equally that many
from Douglas, while Ocilla will furn.
ish the largest crowd Of any of the

expected that We will entertain the
largest number OF people that have
been In the city in some time.
A subscription list will be circulated

of raising funds to defray the ex,

cost will be very light the amount
