Bellefontaine is a city of homes
The young rs well as the old appreciate
the 'boundless opportunities afforded
by associations about the quiet freside
and that enjoyment is found there is
plainly shown by the fact that the
streets are early deserted and after the
busy rush of the day is over the father
meets his wife and children in the sa-
cred confines of the home. The homes
of Bellefontaine draw their inmates to
them for with an early closing schedule
in almost general practice among the
business men, with a strict ordinance
regulating the early closing OF sample
rooms and billiard parlors. the home
Is allowed to stand out as the place
where the light always shines in the
window and where only the most whole
some influences abound Bellefon-
taine's streets are thronged with pedes-
trians when stores and business houses
offer attraction enough for after sup
per shopping but with the finishing ol
the. .snecessary purchasing the crowds
disperse and the streets are soon de
serted An honor to the man or boy
who early learns to love his home
There isn't anything very bad witt
anyone who has his best times a

The Page Wire Fence Company is
making an exhibit on Machinery Hill.
The exhibit is in charge of Mr.. Q.
W. Wambsugh, the local agent of the
company.
The display in the horse and cattle
exhibit is up to and in many ways be-
yond that of last year. The stock is
all high class and the horses the best
ever seen on the grounds.
The art hall is crowded to capacity
with displays made by the ladies of
the county. Such an exhibit in this
department has not been seen in years
In few years the large lot of young
trees planted in various sections OF
the grounds will increase the size of
the shaded portion of the grounds and
add greatly to the beauty of the loca.
tion.
The exhibit made by the graded
schools in Educational hall this year is
below the standard of the exhibit made
by the same schools last year but the
exhibit made by the ungraded schools
is far more meriturious than the ex-
hibit made by these schools a year ago.
The display in the fruit and vegetable
hall is larger than il was anticipated II
would be. The display of corn and
pumpkins is fair and much fruit 4:
