Going Up, Coming Down.

The grandest sights in the world
can be seen from the Holz Captive
Balloon, at Bourbon Fair, Paris, Sept.
I'll. You can see almost every town
in the Bluegrass, including Rich
mond. The trips are made in perfect
safety, the balloon being held captive
by large cable attached to drum
on the operating engine. The cable
is let out to allow an ascension and
wound in to bring you back to earth.
Yon go nearly one-fourth mile high,
but the sensation OF going up is a
thousand times more pleasant than
any thing you can imagine. This is
the only Captive Balloon south of the
the Ohio river and will be seen at no
other Fair in this section but the old
Bourbon.

Rest Rooms For Farmers,

In all the leading stores of every city
are comfortable and attractive rest
rooms for patrons. They would not
be maintained if they didn't help II e
business, for a we'll furnished room in
building. the rent of which runs into
tens of thousands of dollars costs
money to maintain. We have often
wondered why the merchants in coun-
ty seats and even In smaller towns do
not provide rest rooms for their pa
irons. Rest roomsin country towns
need not be furnished luxuriously, as
those in the cities are, only comforta-
bly,, and the item of rent there would
be tritling compared with city rents.
The country town merchants enter
prising enough to provide such rooms
will find the investment very good
one. Most country towns now have
modern features--electricity, water

WEDNESDAY, AUG 25 1909

A few more weeks will finish up the
holding of this years fairs in Ken
lucky. Usually one thinks of coun-
ty fair as merely place where sleek
horses and cattle, fat hogs, plenty of
prize pumpkins, interesting racing
and big crowd may be found. The
fair. it ordinarily seems to us, cones
today and is gone tomOrrow-until
next year. 1t is good place to spend
hour or so, tut the next week it will
be gone without having left behind
any apparent effects, good, bad or
indifferent.
This. however, is not the most in
teresting side Of a fair. A county
fair, such as is held annually here, is
important in its sociological aspects.
1t is a great clearinghouse of public
opinion, and place where acquaint-
ances are renewed and kept green.
'Ill see you at the fair" may be
the parting words of friends, lovers,
men of business, men of no business.
They may be spoken in the crisp
tones of the man who looks forward
to the meeting as an opportunity to
discuss contract or a sale; or they
may be whispered by the youthful
pair whose hearts are athrill with the
dawning of love. Lives have been
ennobled and lives have been wrecked
at the fair.
A county fair is a great educator,
not altogether in the more obvious
way-as an exhibit where one may
see better machines, better live stock,
better industrial products than he
has ever seen before but rather in
more intangible way. The man who
but seldom meets people, here Proba-
bly, meets many and is improved
thereby. The person of philosophie
tuln here sees q whole section-city
people, country people; good and
bad-in miniature. The fair is for
him, in fact, a panorama of society
or portion of it. Ii one be wise, he
may, by looking on this panorama,
see himself in a true perspective, for
here are representative persons from
the region in which be lives. If the
onlooker has wisdom he is likely
to ask himself this question: "How
do 1. how my family, and my COM
munity, average upP
If we could know only a few of the
comedies that are here played;
If we could but know of the tragedies
that are enacted here behind the
scenes, we would know more fully
the real significance of the fair.

Most Be Good.

The Shelbyville Record says base
ball players, like men in every other

sober. There is no Tor ger any place

liquors, and the player who gives way
to otner excuses enps his own career.
Base ball differs from other sports in
that it does not call for man to be
trained fine fol ONE special day OF
hour. but to get into good physical
condition, and to be able TO maintain
that condition for long period. Nc
man who abuses his body can do this.
