The West Fla. Fair
a Big Success.

The West Florida Fair, en-
bracing the counties of Washing
ton. Jackson and Holmes, held in
Chipley Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday of last week, was a
most splendid success.
The exhibits in all depart
ments, while not quite so full as
had been expected, were a won
der to all who saw them.
In the agricultural department
there were only three full farm
exhibits, but there were many
entries of different products, all
of which we're worthy of place
IN any agricultural show.
The farm exhibits OF S. M.
Robertson and r. J. Pleas were
the center of much attraction,
and elected praise from every
one. c. e. Pleas also had a nice
farm exhibit.
The poultry exhibit was large,
about sixty entries, and those
who liked to see good looking
thoroughbred chickens had some
>Nipg to feast their eyes on when
~ visited that department.
There we're not many entries
the stock department, but the
tries made we're splendid spec
his.
In the ladies department there
Jas a magnificent display of their
handiwork. The embroidery
section was especially fine. And
in the culinary department there
was quite an array of cakes, pies,
etc, while the preserves and jel-
lies looked very tempting.
The Chipley High School had
an attractive exhibit of the work
of the pupils in the different
grades.
Taken all in all the exhibits at
the fair made a most creditable
showing of the possibilities of the
resources OF this particular sec
ton, and when the fair is held
next year we expect to see accu-
INFLATED results of the show this
year.
The attendance at the fair was
good and everybody seemed
pleased with what they saw.

Vote for Prohibition.

During the next few days, at
least, let us all try to i've In har-
mony with the following:
''Give the world little aid,
Add hope, or lend a smile;
Don't sit back alone, afraid
That your help is not worth while. ,
w. A. Myers. the temperance
orator, who delivered an address
here last Friday, won many
friends for the amendment.
Don't be deceived over the claim
of self-government or your liber-
ity in dealing with the saloon.
Vote it out of the state next
Tuesday.
Vote for the amendment. The
law gives every voter in the state
the right to change the constitu-
ton that was adopted by all the
people, voting as a whole, and
not by counties.
A vote for the prohibition
amendment is a vote to abolish
the liquor saloons in every coun-
tY in Florida. Avote against the
amendment is a vote to perpetu-
ate the saloons in Escambia, Du-
val, Marion, Hillsboro and other
counties, with all the attendant
evils. Vote right.
The lamented President Will
liam McKinly in discussing the
liquor traffic, a short while be-
fore he was assassinated, said:
"The liquor traffic is the most de-
grading and ruinous of all human
pursuits. By legalizing this traf-
fic we agree to share with the
liquor seller the responsibilities
and attendant evils of his nefari-I
GUS business. Every man who
votes for it becomes, of necessi-
ty, a partner of the whiskey traf-
fic and all it's terrible consequent
ces." No truer or more momen-
tous words were ever spoken.
What gives value to the mill
lions invested in breweries, dis
tilleries and whiskey houses2
But for the ruin of fresh boys ey-
cry generation, in thirty years
the whole trade would be bank
rupt. No wonder they spend
millions to save the license bar
room, which does so much to de-
bauch manhood. Why not vote
for the boys? Outlaw the licens-
ed liquor traffic. Vote for the
amendment, and let Florida no
longer be the refuge and dump
ing ground for this class of unde-
sirable immigration.
