she live with him and urged her to
promise him she would; but she re-

tell her little boy, Homer, to notify
the police that he was there and then
she proceeded to entertain him until

the officer to stop he did so and Of

sworn to by Mrs. Winston, charging
him to keep the peace.
Now that he is in Jail the authori-

crooks in the country and his case
will be thoroughly Investigated before

word that will incriminate him. His

to investigate his past. He is man

FAIR ASSOCIATION FORMED.
Large Representation OF Farmers At The
ORGANIZATION Here Saturday.

Pursuant to call issued by
the Sharp County Farmers
Union, through its President,
George W. Moser, delegates rep
resenting the various Locals of
the county assembled at Evening
Shade Saturday for the purpose
of organizing a cooperative fair
association. Thirteen of the six
teen or seventeen active Locals
of the county sent delegates to
the meeting, which proves that a
warm interest is being taken in
the movement.
Most of these delegates arrived
in town Friday afternoon and at
night an interesting meeting was
held at the court house, presided
over by President Moser. At
this time the benefits Of a live
county fair and other matters of
particular interest to farmers
were discussed in an entertaining
way by the following gentlemen:
Ben F. Meeks, A. W. Rush, Sid
ney; John M. Rodgers, Emery;
Jeff Smith, Highland; Emery
Smith, J. NJ. Street, Calamine;
Joseph Ault, T. I. Herrn, T. j..
Woods, O. G. Shaver, F. p.
Smalley and E. l.. Dickerson,
Evening Shade. All h Q 8 Q
speakers expressed themselves
heartily in favor of the fair and
were sure that great benefits
would accrue to all the people of
the county from successful
county fair in improved agricul.
ture and horticulture, better
stock, etc. 1t was agreed that
nothing would serve to stimulate
a better interest in these things
more than fair.
The business meeting began
Saturday morning at the court
house. This meeting was also
open to the public, but none ex.
cept regularly elected delegates
participated in the proceedings.
1t was found that thirteen Locals
Of the Union were represented as
