The Biggest and Best Delaware County
Fair In Years.

The passing of the Delaware
County Fair Of September 6-7-S-9,
1904, without doubt marks new
era in our fair life. That this year,
fair was a success may be attested
not only by the fact that Wednesday
was the largest Wednesday, Thurs
day the largest Thursday and Fri.
day the largest Friday ever known
in fair history here but also from
the fact that everyone expresses
themselves as well paid for their at
tendance.
Thursday was of course the big.
gest day, nearly 5000 people being
on the grounds during the day.
To the officers Of the Fair B. F.
Sheldon, president, H. @. Smith vice
president and j. j. Pentony, secre
tary the greater portion Of the credit
is due. They worked with will
getting together a list ofclean worthy
attractions, putting the grounds in
order and doing those thousand and
one odd things without which the
Fair could never have been the sue.
cess it truly was. Their efforts
should be appreciated. We believe
they are.
The weather was perfect ant
everything combined TO give us JUS
little the best of everything fol
our Fair days this year.

A WISH

And place It upon your lovely brow.
And fold his mantle around your form
Enhancing each beholder now,

To plighted VOWS and duty done.
Outshine the loneliness Of youth
As Heaven outshines the sun.
