 That the week of October 31 will be 8, memorable one in the history of Montgomery is a foregone conclusion. It will be during that week that the fraternal order of Eagles will hold their gala fair and fall festival.
 The committees promoting the enter prise have been lavish in their expen- ditures. The attractions which they secured are said to be in every way su- perior to any heretofore presented to the people of Montgomery and sur rounding counties The festival Is and has been extensively advertised. The railroads will run excursions at low rates and thousands will no doubt take advantage of these reduced rates to enjoy the things which have been se- cured for their amusement.
