Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1904-09-16

forget to notice the cases of nice
bread on your right, and cast your
eye upward, too, and take In the fine
display of cushions, quilts, spreads and
other embroidery. If you are not
careful in your nocthward movement
the eye will be captivated by the large
pyramid, mot as large as Cheop's
hough of canned fruits and jellies.
The nearer you come to the display
the more will the law of association
between the fine loaves you have just
passed and fruits you view in front of
you be reviewed in your mind, along
with the kind mother used to make
that the Salivary Glands will know no
bounds, or in other words your mouth
will begin to water, and you must
needs pass as an antidote) to the N.
E. corner and notice the Great Bend
Implement Co., IN stoves, ranges etc.
A second look is necessary to see all
the pots, kettles etc.
The exhibits are not all in yet, but
notice Mr.. Hooper's Music parlor
and DR.. Rafington's artistic Dental
Parlor ornamented with an aquarium.
1t seems to me that if one had the
power of abstraction and concentra-
ton perfected, while seated on so
dainty a chair and enclosed by such
drapery, and having the eye upon the
aquarium, the presence of cold steel
placed upon the decayed tooth, and
the extraction of the same would
rather be a pleasure than a pain"
II must be going as it is getting
late. find you are trying to show
that the Fair is better than it was last
year." "Most assuredly the Fair is
far better than it was last year. 1
did not mention The Moses Bros.
display of bread baked from their
flour. 1 believe they offer a prize
themselves upon the best bread.
Yes; I forgot to mention Mr..
Slinn's aquarium at the south end of
the center counter. Mr.. Zimmet' s
chair, present from his son, twelve
years ago needs more than a casual
glance. I did not give you near all
of the articles in the Art Hall. But if
you went no further and studied all
you have seen carefully, you would
be paid for visit. You are quite in
hurry but will just mention few
more things of Importance.
The Agricultural and Horticultural
is being adorned with the county's
products. l shall not itemize, but the
corn department especially attracted
my attention. Oae stalk is IA feet
long. The variety is especially for
feed. 1t would do for an exterior de-
fence (windbreak) and life support
er.
The Spiral Tower, twenty seven
feet high with spire 1876 feet, is an
attraction even without the free ex-
hibition of the performer. Several
40 eI of l. Il. L.
glass blowers exhibit a variety OF
scenes are furnished for a daVs
amusement. Mr.. Weimert's automatic
gate is worth your attention. JUS
think about the old fashioned gate
where one had to wade around in the
mud to open.
There will be from 90 to 80 race
horses to give you pleasure anc
amusement.
One more item and I will let yol
60 hoping that you will come ane
judge for yourself tomorrow, and that
the three Dining Tents, that will b,
ichly furnished with eatables, by th,
ladies of the Methodist, Presbyterian
and Congregational churches. Yor
will not be asked what your religion
or politics are, but what you wish 70
dinner. Lunch counters and refresh
ment stands too, ask your patronage.

"Good night sir.
