THE FAIR AND THE FOURTH

The Commercial Clubs Corner yes

sightedness or lack OF enterprise in the
business men Of chiokasha as well as
the stock men and farmers Of Grady

ty fair is a conceded fact, and that
we should celebrate on the Fourth of
July is the opinion Of every business
man and patriot in the city,
Then why not have both? Is 1T pos
sibIe that our people are already fol-
lowing into the ways Of the back
numbers Of the stald and settled
communities OF the old states2 We are

The man says he stopped and ques-
