Keller Fair Continued.

Yes, in the language of The Tide
water Tribune thc "rig local fairs are
over" but listen, the biggest "wood'
fair" that you ever heard of is moi
ov-r, but is coming off on the foul
last days of August, 1906, near Keller
and if upper Accomac with lower
Northampton (of course all the mid
die ground people will be there will
honor us with their presence and ex-
hibits, we will indeed give the people
something to talk about" -some-
thing that will delight their eyes,
tickle their ears and brighten their
lives. The Old Keller Fair feels
proud in her motherhood of the "Dig
LEGAL fairs" and wants to see them
Give long and prosper"
We Will also endeavor to Gull out
the "bad features" about which "peo-
pie are talking" and in the language
of an intelligent New York lady a
few days ago, make our fair the real
thing" The writer asked her if she
was coming to the e. s. Agl. Fair
to which she replied Eyes, yours is
the only fair ! ever attend on the
Eastern Shore, it is the place for de-
lightful social enjoyment in meeting
old friends and acquaintances; besides
you have the best exhibits | ever saw
at a country fair. 1t is the real
thing Now when the ladies say
such things to us and about us we
surely have Nothing to fear, success is
assured.
We agree with the Tribune in say
ing that "the fairs are generally good
things they are certainly meant to
be, and if the Objectionable features
are kept out everybody should go
home well pleased and benefited by
the going. Fairs are intended to
make bright people brighter, happy
people happier and good farmers bet
ter farmers. If you don want to see
pretty horses or their speed keep
away from the stables and track, and
i'm the ladies' hall, fowl and agricultu-
raj departments and throughout the
grounds you will find more than you
can fully take in and enjoy each day
of the fair. We thank the Tribune for
its timely suggestions along the line
of "side shows" and we will endeavor
to profit thereby in eliminating the
Objectionable and questionable fea-
lures of same. Our boys and girls
are worth more to us than all else be-
sides and nothing must come between
us and their best interest and welfare.
And now in conclusion we say to one
and all most cordially, from POcomoke
City to Cape Charles, come to the last
fair of the season, to the oldest one in
the state and to one of the most sOcia
BILE and enjoyable you will ever see.
Come on Tuesday, 2Sth, Wednesday,
18th, Thursday, 3Oth and on Friday,
31st OF August If you are not pleased
on the first day the invitation ceases
for the next three days. County
officials, Bank and Exchange officers,
candidates-in fact all of the PENN
sula luminaries are invited. What a
place for candidates.
