The Fair Company had to raise
the prics of admission this year,
because they have, for the past few
years, lost about $500, which was
paid out of the pockets of the
stockholders. Now they only ask
small bit over the price of admis
sion of former years, and with that
you will see the best fair ever held
IN this county. Now. good people,
be reasonable and help the fair
company who are giving it for your
amusement and not to make mon
ey, as they have lost money each
year.

place cards at luncheon that it's
real Significance dawned upon
them, for artistioally entwined
among the roses were the letters

word September. The announce
ment brought forth the best wishes
of all for the bride-to-be, while Mr.

telephone for some time receiving
congratulations. Then followed a

A few days later, when the captain
happened to be on deck, the same
cabin boy carried past him a dish OF
