SATURDAY was the biggest day in the

crowd never assembled anywhere.
Every feature on the days pro-
gramme was better than advertised.
At 10 O'Clock the festivities began
with a big parade, in which prac-
tically every one of the business in
terests was represented. Petty differ
ences were buried in the same grave
with the Ratchet and the hammer.
The floats shown were original and
expensive, and must have surprised
the passengers on the Rock Island

the parade passed the depot.
The crowd then went to the ball
ground and witnessed a game be-
tween Meade and Minneola. which
proved to be the best game ever
played here. If the Meade team had
been surrounded by as many rooters
as the home team they might have
won. but they lost to Minneola at the

DISTRICTS CONSOLIDATED.
Potter and Fairview the First IL
Amalgamate in Atchison County.

Potter, July 28.-The consolidation
of the Potter and Fairview school
districts is the first consolidation of
school districts to take place in
Atchison county. The consolidation
of school districts is a movement that
has the endorsement OF the leading
educators of the state. 1t is a
meritorious reaction from the plan of
having small districts so that all the
patrons of school may be con-
veniently located in regard to the
school house. No. 20 east of Potter,
is an example of the bad effects Of
carving up a district into smaller dis
tricts. Forty years ago this dis
trict extended from the township line,
east of Potter, to the Missouri river,
near Daily, south of Atchison.
