The merry-go-round was well

An excellent chance for grocers
to buy the stock of goods at the
store formerly known as the Boston
store. Mr.. Flagg, the new owner,
will not deal in groceries and will
sell what stock he has at a sacrifice.
"A good many people would have
liked to have had the Maple City
band furnish the music for the fair
With so many excellent musicians in
our midst, ii seems strange that
home institutions should not encour-
age them
The palmist made one bad break
that came to our notice. A much
married man was told that he would
soon marry a woman with a dark
complexion. The fellow has been
married over year but has the
smooth face of boy.

can had splendid pictures of Ralph
Martins Wayne Dandy" champion

"A girl from Pike county was ap-
preached by the stage driver after

Judge Searle. who was present
at the fair on Wednesday, saw a
crooked gambling game in progress,
and witnessed the fleeing of farm
er out of ten dollars. The Judge
took the bull by the horns butted
in, made the gambler disgorge the ten
dollars, and then elected him from
the grounds.
If the managers of the fair
would level up the center OF the
grounds between the race track, have
a baseball diamond on one end and a
nice pavilion suitable for dancing at
the other end, ii would make the
place more attractive and add to their
revenue. The young people are en-
titled to this consideration.
The politicians were out in full
force and we noticed eX-Congressman
George Kipp busy shaking hands,
while Congressman C.. G. Plat was
extending the glad hand to all who
came his way. Our next representa-
tive, II. G. Jackson, who is a very
modest man, was receiving encour-
ment on all sides while our present
Representative, Leopold Fuerth, was
doing the "glad to see you" act very
vigorously.
