A Result.

From the halter to the butcher
the Monroe City Fair was the great
est TRADE getter that ever struck
this city.
The clothiers were in it, the res
taurant and hotel people were
worked to the limit and the baker,
c. L. Carpenter, reports $500 loaves
of bread, bushels and bushels of
buns and cakes for Thursday alone.
Said his trade was 40 per cent
greater than ever. The home fac
tory could not supply half enough
ice cream.
The fair was a "whopper" from a
commercial view point, a sports
view point and from the view point
of any man who loves good horses.
Monroe lost nothing morally but
made big financial gain and the
world knows it is on the map.

Obituary.

Mrs. Lizzie Fuqua entered into
the rest that remaineth for people
of God, Monday, Aug. 8. 1909, from
her home in Liberty, Mo. She was
the daughter of Rev. and Mrs. Foley
who came to Monroe City from
Kentucky some years ago. She was
born in Kentucky Oct. 20, 1878; age
at the time of her decease being 80
years, 8 months and 10 days.
Her marriage to Herbert Fuqua
of Monroe City, in April 1895, was
happy event of two devoted lives.
Their married life was of only a
short duration and the husband was
taken to his heavenly home leav-
ing the wife and two little children.
This great grief was borne with
great fortitude by the wife. In
early life her Saviour had been en-
throned within her heart as sover-
eign OF her lite and she knew that
All things work together for good
to them that love God.
Her church membership had been
with Grace Baptist church until a
few months ago when it was re-
moved to Liberty, Mo. Hers was a
life wholly unselfiSh, always think
ing of the welfare of Others rather
than herself. She never spared
herself in her efforts to make others
happy. Her life had also been one
of deep sorrow, yet Gods grace was
her stay and comfort; devoted to
her children she was yet willing to
60 if it was her Lords will Some
days before her death she talked of
that to her sister and said, | have
been praying to get we'll for my
children's sake, but if | do not, it
will be all well, for you and Robert
will see that the children will have
good homes.
An humble devoted follower of
Jesus our Lord. She rests from her
labors and her works follow her.
Earth is richer by her life, heaven
is brighter by her death.

Oh! Almost the Short and Ugly
Word,

Governor Hadley is beginning to
reap as he has sown. Before and
since the election he has been ex-
ceedingly ugly with both his mouth
and pen in his various letters and
interviews concerning Democrats.
He has maliciously used his high
Office as Governor to discredit hon
est and conscientious Democrats
throughout the State, and in order
to damage them, has left nothing
unsaid or undone. But he has been
called by the Democratic Board of
Election Commissioners is Kansas
City, whom he took occasion re-
Gently to libel. The Governor now
desires, since he sees that he has
made various kinds of an ass of
himself, to close the incident" The
incident will not be closed until the
Governor makes good his charges
or is shown up in his true light a
falsifier, a political trickster and a
libeler. Of course nothing could be
made out of him if in a suit for IL
bel judgement is obtained. Float
ers from Kansas of his stripe do
not appear to any considerable ex-
tent on the Assessors or CollentorS
books. We hope at least the Eelec-
ton Commissioners in Kansas City
will make it so hot for this mouthy
spieler that he will not further as
sault good people or bring his high
office into greater disrepute.-Boon-
vile Advertiser.

THE BIGGEST
The Greatest of All Country Fairs
Was That of Monroe City 1909.

Yes stree, the time has come
when all men present will say:
There was 297 harness speed horses
drawn there and even the starters
say, no | never saw such numbers
nor starters, nor such struggles for
supremacy on a half mile track.
And then there was nearly go
running horses and the show horses
and all kinds of the best thorough
bred stock to tickle the fancy
of the stock raiser and the poultry
people.
Is there such a thing as honest
horse racing? Every man watch
ing those races will emphaticallyI
say yes. Just think. IL starters
and coming down the home stretch
one half of them with the lash laid
on. Open your eyes for the worlds
record for 3 year old PAGERS is Eli
on mile track and it was made I'M
2:13 ia on the Monroe City 1-2|
mile track.
Every race, four per day. was al
horse race and the drivers WED
with each other and their horses
to get there" When horses have
to make five heats day after day as
was done there to decide, then
you may know that each and every
drive was a race for blood.
There was only one accident
through it all and that happened
to a beautiful runner who slipped
her stifie and was thrown out of
commission.
No fair ever had better order on
the grounds. The only arrests was
Minnie" and her hangers on and
that was craps and cost the girl
$37 and trimmings.
Who did 80 per cent of it? Tc
whom should the credit be giveni|
After talking with dozens of the
horse owners and never hearing
the name of the Secy., of the fair
but always that of the Secy, of the
Racing Circuit, Thomas M. Boul-
ware and that always in the high
est praise. They each and every
one admired and respected him for
his never failing courtesy, justnessl
and willingness to advance their
interests and comfort.
For obvious reasons the Demo
crat has made no effort to secure or|
publish the premium list.
But we did better than that wei
cheerfully advertised the fair in|
three great dailies, thereby doing
what we could for the success of
the fair, but as before stated, the|
credit of the success is Tom Boul-|
wares.

The American race horses abroad be-

their success was not so marked that

won few races, which lends hope to
the belief that ere the summer ENDS
they will have won their share Of the

The green racing cOlOrs of the Hitch

the ones that scored. Wyoming the
