The Cameron County Fair that is in
progress this week, to all appearances,
is the most successful of all previous
fairs. The display of vegetables and
farm produce is the finest ever seen on
the Keystone grounds, while the fancy
work and displays of baked goods, con-
fectionery, canned fruits and flowers
surpass all other years. A miniature
saw mill made by Mr.. Lee Lewis, of
Rich Valley, is certainly perfect in
every detail and shows great skill and
handiwork in its construction. The
large loaf of bread, from the populars
bakery of Mrs. g. G.. Schmidt, shows
that her bakers know how to make
good bread. The booth of our enter
prising dry goods merchant, Mr.. R.
Kuehne, has fine display of merchan-
disc, and our county would be far
better if we had a few more such men
as Mr.. Kuehne. F, V. Heilman & Co,
our hustling hardware firm has good
assortment in display, from their store
on Fourth street. Mr.. Joseph Meisel,
is doing rushing business with his
famous 1. X. L., ice cream cones, and
various articles that attract attention
at such times. The Emporium Con-
crete Company, the modern stone
makers, has some articles on exhibit
tion, that are we'll worth mention and
every one should not fail to see them.
The Methodist ladies, are there with
bountiful supply of good things to eat
and where you may be sure of good
meal, all home made. With several
attractions on the grounds and fine
programme every day consisting of all
sports, such as races of different kinds,
creased pole, and fine ball games and
Fisks Juvenile Band every afternoon
to liven up the time, the hours will
speed away in one grand round of
plearure. Every year brings better
fair, as this year far surpasses any
other, let next year be still better. The
committee in charge are attending
faithfully to the work and deserve
great praise and credit for most sue
cessful fair.

Former Cameron County Popular
Lumberma an in Mississippi.

j. r. Buckwalter, of Wingate, Miss,
was in the city this afternoon enroute
to Union, Miss, where he goes to
close the final arrangements in the
consumption of one ofthe largest lum-
ber development deals incident to this
section of South Mississippi since the
panic.
Mr.. Buckwalter owns $4,000 acres
of the finest timber lands in Newton
and Neshoba counties. To this he is
preparing to add 5000 acres more,
making magnificent tract of 10000
acres.
Present plans contemplate the erec-
ton of an immense steel mill near
Newton on the Mobile, Jackson and
Kansas City railroad and the building
of 15 miles of standard guage rail
road. The first six miles of the road
will be rushed to completion and the
rest will be built as needed.
From an altogether reliable source
the News learns that Mr.. Buckwalter
has already secured bids from the
United States Steel Corporation and
the Virginia Bridge Company on a
modern steel mill of 60 thousand feet a
day capacity, with provisions for en-
largement as the occasion may de-
mand.
Most of the rights of way for the
railroad have also been secured and
the probability is that active work
will begin on the big industry before
the first of October. -Hattiesburg,
Miss News.
The many Cameron county friends
of John r. Buckwalter wish him we'll
in his extensive Investment. He is a
hustler and makes business for any
community where he puts down his
stake. A gentleman 1856 days in year,
reliable and as good as gold, he will be
invaluable to that section. Just such
men as Mr.. Buckwalter are needed in
the South.
