of beauty is JOY forever" We were
pleased to notice a jardiniere and
some other articles of jewelled stucco
work among the pretty things in the
glass show case. Here, also, was
small amount of hand decorated china
which was of much merit. There
were some articles of work which are
worthy of notice, namely hand painted
silk and satin pieces. Especially
would we speak of a sofa pillow case
painted in beautiful design of roses,
also, one in violets. In the oil paint
ing department we noticed particu-
larly several designs of roses, marine
and landscape scenes, pond lilies,
man, chickens, horse and others.
Some of these were fac in perspec-
tive, color and execution, and all
were worthy. An umbrella stand,
painted on thing was really a very
fine piece of work. There were a
great number OF handkerchiefs of
many fancy patterns which showed
skill and much labor. We would not
fail to mention two large beautiful
pieces of tapestry painting done by
Miss Isabel Coffin of New York. Miss
Coffin has had class in dra wing and
painting during the summer, and she
contributed to the display of beauti-
full things some fine embroidered
work and these two paintings. One
represents the daughter of the Sheik
of the desert who is inspired with her
music, and the other the Spirit of the
morning. They are maidens ar
tistically attired each In a man Ter
corresponding to the artists concep-
ton of her subject. The size of each
panel is 45x72 inches.
Some of the things worthy of men
ton in the flora hall were the flora
decorations. There were seventy
FIVE variities of dahlias exhibited by
one lady, while asters, sweet peas,
pinks, begonias and many more flow
f9rs and plants occupied the over
stand which were the delight of hun
dreds of people. We noticed some
owering NAPLES with many blossoms
which it had taken years to reach
their height and beauty,
Q. s. Phillips of Glover had a fine
display of taxid8rmist's goods. E,-
pecially attractive was his lake of
fish which were almost as natural as
life. OF the vegetables there was a
fair show though not as large a sup
ply as sometimes. pyramid of
Drumhead cabbages first claimed our
attention. These were exceedingly
large and hard. There were many
fine heads of other varieties which
showed the season had been good
one and for this vegetable.

The Best Eyer.
THE ORLEANS COUNTY FAIR A GRAND
SUCCESS. $4,000 ATTENDANCE
THURSDAY.

The sixteenth annual fair of the
Orleans County Fair Association held
last week was in many respects the
most successful fair since the organi-
cation of the association. Roaring
Brook Park was in fine shape, both
building and grounds. Thursday and
Friday favored US with good weather
although Tuesday and Wednesday
were cold and Threatening. Entries
were made Tuesday till nearly every
department was full and some to over
flowing. Wednesday saw a large
crowd considering the weather which
was extremely cold. During the
night Wednesday the sky cleared and
Thursday saw a crowd of about 5000
on the grounds. Friday also saw a
large crowd.

HORSES AND CATTLE

The showing of cattle and horses
was large, especially that of cattle,
and indications are that more room
will be needed in the near future.
Some of the fat cattle were generally
called the latest ever seen on the
grounds. There we're many fine horses
also and practically all the room in
this department was taken. Those
who visited these exhibitions spoke
of the exhibit as the best seen on the
grounds for years, if'a better display
was ever made. This department is
one that should BE- we'll looked after
and certainly it was not sighted this
year

POSTOFFIGE IN LEONARD BRICK
THK HONE OF GOoDLAED's POsToEEICR
FOB THE MKT TEE TRARs.
Contract Was Awarded 70 7. P. Leonard
and Became Effective May I-Omcs
Equipment Was Moved
wednesday.

The GoOdland Postofice had house
cleaning this week and will make its
home for the next ten years in the
Leonard building. OF the two bids for
the pOstofhce. recently submitted to 3
special agent, the award was made 20
7. P. Leonard. The contract, which
became effective May /, is for a term Of
ten years, and besides the providing OF
the large room, Il calls for an equip
ment Of postoffce furniture, burglar
proof safe, the providing of heat and
light, and whenever necessary the fur
Their equipment for free rural delivery,
which would consist of cabinets and
additional boxes.
Postmaster J. E. Stevens received the
order for the removal of the posto flee
from First Assistant Postmaster General
John Hitchcock, Monday morning, and
the formal closing of the contract be-
tween the government and Mr.. Leonard
was completed in time to allow the nov
ing Of the Office Wednesday evening.
The postOf1ce fixtures, which were
purchased about two years ago by Mr..
Stevens, were bought by Mr.. Leonard
and about IS more lock boxes viii be
added The safe now in use win be
used temporarily until a burglar-prOOf
safe can be purchased and installed.
The new postofice location, while Il
will not be unanimously satisfactory,
has the advantage of being in a much
larger and more suitable building, and
will henceforth exhibit a somewhat
proud appearance. The PostOfice To-
cation agitation will now end.
The building where the Office has
been kept since March, 1908, is owned
by William Ennis, and can be easily
rented for other purposes.
The frame pOstOfice building burned
down in January, 1908, and for a few
weeks was located in what is now the
bowling alley, and subsequently was
removed to the Ennis building. One
of the provisions of the ten-year con-
tract was that the Postofice be "domi-
ciled' in a brick building, and as Mr..
award was made to him.

GOOD RAIN WEDNESDAY.
General Pan Of Moisture in sherman

General Fall OF Moisture in Sherman
COunty-FOllOWing the Big Rain
The heavy rain Of last week during
Sunday and Monday, IN which more
than four inches Of water fell, was fol-
lowed by another good rain Wednes-
day, which was general over western
Kansas. The last precipitation meas
ured about an inch, and the ground is
thoroughly soaked to a considerable
depth.
The weather previous TO the rain was
warm and vegetation of every kind was
making rapid growth. The trees are
putting out their leaves, and some kinds
Of fruit trees are full Of blossoms.
There IS 50 much moisture in the
ground that with sufficient warm
weather the wheat, rye and barley viii
make an almost unprecedented growth.
The farmers say that two or three more
seasOnable rains would insure a nam
moth crop production.
Land values are steadily advancin e
under the stimulus of the crop pros
Pect, and there IS a probability that
much land viii be drawn from the mar
ket or the price advanced by leaps
and bounds"
