EXCHANGED.
BE LAR-SECRETARY HAR-
RiS GOES TO DAYTON AND HAS
CONFERENCE.

During the same week in October,
fall festival. The Young Mems Bus-
ness Club of this city and the Dayton
business men have arranged to CO.
operate in making these two events a
success. BY this it is meant that they
will compare plans and ideas for mu-
tual benefit.
Secretary Ed Harris of the Young
Mems Business Club was in Dayton
yesterday and he had long confer
ence with the promoters of the Dayton
festival. He said that they are work
ing along nearly the same plans as
decided on for the local festival and
that they were confident it would be
Gem City. Il think, however, that
Richmond will be able to surpass
Dayton in this respect" said Mr. Har-
ris.
Mr.. Harris learned that in Dayton on
agriculture day" they intended to
place all exhibits in booths along one
of the principal streets. This plan has
been considered here, and it has also
been suggested that the agriculture
and live stock exhibits be placed in
the Coliseum. Just where these exhib
it's will be placed will be decided by
the exhibit committee this week.
One feature planned for the Dayton
festival will probably be adopted for
the local festival. This will be a band
competition. It has been suggested
that every band in this section of the
country be invited to compete before
competent judges and the band max
ing the best showing be awarded a
cash prize, probably amounting tC
$3.50.
Wayne county people are taking the
keenest interest in the festival and
they will do everything in their power
to make it a success. They realize
that the festival is not alone for the
benefit of Richmond, but for the en-
tire county. Officers of the Youne
Mems Business Club are daily receiv.
| ing inquiries from farmers through
out the county regarding the exhibits
1t is an assured fact that merchants
and manufacturers in every town II
the county will be represented in the
| big parade on industrial day. This is
expected to be the biggest event of its
kind in the history of the county.

Near the hill to the north of the
deer pen at the Glen. the holdback
on the shaft broke, which permitted
the carriage to run down on the heels
of the horse which has been one of
the family pets of the Meyer family
for a number of years and has al
ways been considered very gentle The
animal bolted and as it neared the
deer house on the east side of the
pen, Mrs. Chrow became frightened
and without thinking of the conse-
Quences jumped from the fast moving
vehicle. She was unconscious when
found and on examination of DIR. Kin
sey 1t was found that she had sustain
ed a fracture of the right ankle. a
broken right leg just above the ankle
and a fractured left shoulder and a
number of bruises.

horse was stopped when guided into

dashboard of the vehicle were brok.

This is the third runaway that has

Wilson, at Seventy-four, is Oldest Hook
and Ladder Wagon Driver in Country

George Wilson, the veteran of the
fire department will return to duty as
driver of the hook and ladder truck,
September l. Wilson has been unable
to attend TO his duties for several
months owing to injuries sustained
when his leg was broken by one of
the department horses falling on it.
II was necessary to put the injured
member in a plaster cast and keep it
there for several weeks. Owing to
Wilson's age recovery was slow.
1t is probable there is not another
man of seve nty-four years in the
country, who drives a hook and ladder
truck. Wilson's long connection with
the department has accustomed him
to the life CT the fireman to such an
extent he is unable to forsake it. While

fit. He is held to be one
of the best drivers in the department
ard pushes along his big team of pow
erful grays in answer to an alarm, so
that they keep up with other teams
drawing lighter wagons. The city has
but one hook and ladder truck and it
answers all alarms no difference what
the part Of the city. During his ca
reer, Wilson has had but few acci-
dents. He is a careful driver and it
is but rare his team ever stumbles.
Al Griffith has been driver Of the
truck during the absence of Wilson.
He will act as ladderman and sub
stitute driver. Griffith has handled
the team well and in all probability
will be made regular driver when
the, next vacancy arises. ---<--
