Who Stole Dc Pumpkin?

Some one who evidently lacked the
elements OF a good conscience n
night last week entered +. ID. fiarri-
sons premises on Campbell street and
while Elem was peacefully dreaming
OF Morgan County dirt and toothsome
pumpkin pie, plucked a big yellow
fity-pound pumpkin from vine as
long as a chain of thought. With mall
ice aiorethought the thief appropriated
the fine specimen to his own use.
Elem had watched this tender vege-
table develop from day to day, and
his stomach fairly swelled with emo
ton as he thought of the fat juicy
pumpkin pie he would feast upon on
Thanksgiving day. But 10. all hopes
vanish when Elem looked at the vine
but discovered his treasurc gone, yes,
clean gone. Things in that locality
assumed a blush cast, but that didn'l
bril- eback the coveted prize which
wasfrobably furnishing a pie banquet
for the inhuman marauder. The fel'
low who did the successful job O
purloining had better serve his pie
behind the scenes, as Elem is on the
war path. and there'll be somethin.
doing should he strike the trail of tn,
stolen .'lruit.'

The talk OF the city at the present
time is the coming Street and County
Fair, Stock Show and Carnival of
Amusements and Attractions which
will be given in Versailles the first
week in October, beginning Tuesday,
Oct. Bird and continuing until Satur-
day night, oct. 7th, and it will be the
talk of the entire county within the
next few days.
This exhibition is a big affair and
will not only be a sightseeing carni-
val for all the people, but will prove
beneficial to the farmers, housewives,
sons and daughters and everyone who
may have stock or products worthy
of show, and our liveliest business
men are at the head of the affair.
A large list OF premiums are offered
by the business people, as is seen in
our supplement, covering everything
on the farm. in the garden and in the
home, and you are solicited to com.
pete. as awards will be made hon.
estly and carefully, and equal show
will be given to all competitors.
Aside from this the Whitney Car
nival Company will furnish free attrac'
tons each day and night without
moments intermission. 1t will be

FAIR FOR MORGAN COUNTY.
A Splendid Project both for Our
Farmers and From q Bust.
ness Point Of View.

There is now every indication on
the surface that Versailles will have a
Fair Association. and there is not a
town in this section Of the state better
located for a county or district fair
than is the city of Versailles. There
is not a county fair on the Rock Is
land railroad within a radious of one
hundred miles of this city, and the
nearest one on the Mo. Pacific is the
Bunceton fair.
That a fair conducted on liberal
and reasonable lines is a good thing
has been proven in every instance
where it has been tried. 1t is not
only a benefit to the town but it is a
means of building up the stock inter-
ests of the county, and stimulates the
farmers in taking greater pains with
the products of the farm. while the
stock raisers soon discover how much
superior standard bred stock is in
comparison with ''scrubs."
A committee should get together
at the coming street fair and interview
every farmer and stock man who may
come here on the subject of a county
fair, and then meet and effect a per-
manent organization, issue shares OF
stock, say at So a share, so that all,
whether wealthy or in moderate cir
c~umstanCes. can secure what they de-
sire toward making it a Gee Get
live men at the head, who are not
afraid to offer inducements to good
attractions and good premiums to ex-
hibitors. and Versailles car rest as
sured that the fair will be a c from
the start. Now is the time to organ
izc an association if our citizens wan,
a tar tor next year.

What 'FaCroaes Do

Without manufacturers no coun ry
can be truly great and prosperous.
Without agriculture DO county may
hope to build up for itself any con
siderable manufacturing interests.
Without both of these we cannot ex-
I pect the arts, the sciences and liter
ature t. progress. 1t is therefore es-
| sentlal that both of these factors en-
ter III 4 country's wealth-They are
lnterdependent on each other; each

the other, and imparJs is benehcent

people Manufactures create an ur-

the arteries of trade and commerce.
They dIssipate provinciaiism, produce
desire for the arts, create a tast.

| ature 10 its people and act as the
great conserver Of the strength and
independence of nation.
Agriculture alone is like ship
without d rudder, 1t is always SUBJ
ject to the caprices and whims of
those who purchase farm products,
and has no absolute autonomy OF its
own Where the nation has both
manufactures and agricultural, and
exports the products OF both indus
tries, beside supplying its own de-
mands, ii becomes a nation which
stands alone; that recognizes no mas
ter save its own people and whose
prosperity and progress attain the
height OF human achievement, in
everything possible through human
endeavor.
The same things are true OF city
or town iii a lesser degree as they
are OF nations-hence how inn
portany il is that town or city
strive 10 create manufacturing cen
ter in It's midst whose mills and
shops draw tribute from every cline
and from every people.
1t effects a conquest which all the
wars Of the ages have failed to ac-
complish, it is the one mighty lever
that has made easy of accomplish
ment our present magnificent ciyill-
zation.
How necessary it is then for the
people of a town or city to work IN
harmony and unison for their mutual
good. There should be but one spirit
animating the people when any que
ton resolves itself into one affecting
the prosperity OF the community II
