few acres of tents. 1t is estimated that
a thousand people visited the grounds

The fifth grade in the brick school

The fakirs who came from the state
fair 10 this county fair pulled in on Fri
day, most of them on the afternoon train.
Evidently there wasn't so much J'y

respondents appearing in court the next
day, was not repeated.

he took at the station, and one from the
person who was carrying 1t. The /
amounts ranged from one to three gal
Ions of hard stuff.

call on Miss Catherine g. Briggs last
Monday evening, meeting at Mrs. W. 7.
Morton's and going up the hill in
body. 1t was a real surprise, too. IL
was also a masquerade and costume
party, and the rigs" were concocted
with that skill for which the Fan-Tsns
are noted, some of the effects being al
most startling. The callers went pro-
vided for the occasion, and served Welsh
rsrebit, fruit and coffee. Festivities
continued until o. tie late hour.
A hearing was held at the court
