1t was our intention and has always
been our custom to give liberal men,
ton of our advertisers, but the great
amount of news coming together with
the four full pages and one half page
adds, that lack of space forbids this
week
That the merchants of this splendid
town are patronizing us so literally, is ap
preciated to greater extent than they
will ever know. That this is meant,
they will see, in the care we shall take
of them in the future during the period
they are not before the people in a
big add.
We come to the people this week with
a supplement and there many important
news notes left over. Surely the peo-
pie of Marion and Crittenden county
can see that we are making an effort
to give them a good newspaper. We
are running nobody's business but our
own and collecting nobody's debts but
our own. So if your time is out, or
nearly so, or if you are not taking the
paper, come in and subscribe or renew
1t will help us to help you. Very soon
we expect to change the Record-Press
from weekly to a semi-weekly, with
out change IN the price, and your sub
scription or renewal will greatly aid us
in the expense of making the change.
We need your aid and are going to try
to merit it. Come to see us when you
come to Marion.

While it is wrong to judge a town
by its newspaper, yet it is done. Pick
up an SPACE newspaper from any town
that gives to its readers four pages of

once pronounce the town dead. 3"
Why give hungry, newspaper-loving
public with such stuff when, to a GER

paper that the people want is the paper
that looks after their interests and
protects them. Such papers in any

1t will be only a short time now
until the gates Of the Great Union
County Fair at Uniontown will be
opened to what is expected to prove
the largest attended and most profit
able exhibit in the history of the
Association. More than twenty-five
horses have already been quartered
at their stables and Mr.. W. G. Bland
of Uniontown as Secretary and Sam
p. Sturgis, Of Dekoven as President
of the Association, are fattering
themselves that the various rings
this season will be the best ever
known. The Morganfeld Sun quotes
Mr.. Bland as follows:
Things look mighty good to me
for a fine fair. We have received
more inquiries from horsemen for en-
entry blanks and stable room this
early this season than ever before,
ami inquiries from exhibitors for
catalogues have been more numerous.
We now have about 20 or 20 horses
quartered at our tracks, and the
track is ia better condition than we
have ever had it this early. We are
now whltewashing, aud otherwise
identifying the grounds and every
thing will be in readiness when the
gates are thrown open on the first
day of the fair for the Biggest and
Best Fair ever held on our grounds.
We have already contracted with
several Aerial Performers and within
the next few days will have the most
attractive list of Free Attractions
ever presented to our patrons.
Mr.. Sturgis as President and MI.
Bland as Secretary, have in all the
years of the Association made 1t sue
cess, Their competency in handling
successfully other large businesses
have the better fitted them for this
and together with the personnel COM
posed of the best business men of
Union County, they make the strong
est and best organization of the kind
In the whole Circuit. If Crittenden
Livingston and Webster county peo-
pie want to get their moneys worth
and see good time, let them attend
the Union County Fair at Union
town.
Secretary Bland has closed a con-
tract with the Five Flying Moores"
as the feature free attraction for the
coming Union County Fair. They will
give two performances daily and are
said to be the best aerial return cast
ing performers in the business. They
have appeared at different state fairs
and have always proved a drawing
card. These, together with the balloon
ascensions and other free attractions,
will give the Union County Fair pa
irons the best and most complete pro-
gram ever offered by the association.

The Debate at Heath
School House, a Success.

The fish fry, Ice cream supper and
debate at Heath school house Satur-
day evening, was well attended. At
ter every body had eaten plenty of
fish, Ice cream, etc., and refreshed
themselves with cold drinks, they
listened to a debate of about one hour
and half duration upon the follow
ing subject. Resolved that money
is of more benefit to mankind than
friendship. The debate was to
have been between Forest Grove and
Heath, but as only one gentleman,
Rufus Robinson, of Forest Grove,
came, the matter had to be re.arrang-
ed. The speakers at last selected
were as follows: Aft, Rufus Robin
son, Wilson Rankin and Wesley Cliff.
Neg, Lonnie Cliff. VIM. Fowler,
Dr., anu w dlldC6 Olllt.
The debate was commenced by
Mr.. Robinson, who declared that
money is the life of the country.
He warned the opposition not to con-
found love, sympathy and pity with
friendship, saying they are different.
He talked twenty minutes after which
he was followed by Donnie Cliff, of
the Negative.
This speaker argued that friend
ship is of divine origin, the desire
for some having been planted in the
human heart by God himself. He
pointed out the Undesirable wretch
edness and misery, which must of
necessity come, were friendship de-
stroyed in this world.
Wilson Rankin, of the affirmative,
was the next speaker. He declared
that money is solid and substantial,
while friendship is feeting as the
winds.
VIM. Fowler, ST., was the next
speaker. Mr.. Fowler walked the
folks up who were getting drowsy
and they stayed awake too.
Wesley Cliff, Of the affirmative,
spoke next. He received the infu-
ence and the power of money from
the earliest dawn of history unto the
present day, and told of the vast
number of lives that had been lost
in quest Of the precious metals.
Wallace Cliff, of the negative,
was the next speaker. He held up
the miser as an example Of human
soul debased by the love of money.
He reviewed the arguments of the
previous speakers at some length.
Rufus Robinson closed the debate
in short talk, after which the ques-
ton was submitted to the judges.
The decisioa of the judges was unan-
mously in favor of the affir native.
In the voting contest Miss Toy
Wafford won the cake as being the
orettiest girl present. She received
$50 votes. Miss May noloman was
next with 1870 votes.

that you will feel that your stom-
