The street fairs and carnivala,
are public puisances and we be-
lieve the time is not far distant
when they will not be allowed in
a rciviliz d town or community.
There is nothing elevating about
them and nothing that will bring
any money to a town. What are
they good for? We hope our city
council will not let any carnival
company pitch their tents in St.

Greenwood had her Floral Fair
last week, and Judging from news
paper accounts the occasion was
the greatest event of the kind
ever held in that prosperous town.
Owing to the cold, the floral ex-
hibits were not up to the usual
standard, but this deficiency was
made up by the parade and beau
tifuIly decorated floats. No ex-
pense was spared by those who
entered the contest. Mr.. J. G.
Self, cashier of the BaHk of Green
wood, won the prize for the most
beautifully decorated automobile.
The machine was decorated with
white and purple satin, represent
ing "Royal Chariot" 1t is said
that thu decorations alone cost
$40. This gives some idea of the
splendor of Greenwood's floral
fair and parade.
