The Lesson Of che Lincoln County
Fair.

The lessons to be learned from
the Lincoln County Fair just closed
are many. Probably the most
important is that Brookhaven and
it's adjoining territory can really
support q good agricultural Fair.
Heretofore, many have stated that
the people Of this country could moi
be induced to support a good Fair.
This fallacy has been exploded, as
everyone knows the Fair was 4
good one. first-class in every detail,
and that it was well patronized.
Another lesson is that this terri.
tory can certainly grow its corn.

Your home merchants have made
it possible for you to live in Brook
haven and they should receive your
trade. If you send all your busi-
ness to mail order houses, the mer-
chant will have to go out of busi-
ness, and then who would support
the town? Treat your home mer-
chants right, and they will treat
you right.

New York, December 1O.-"Jack' Aber- nathy, the Oklahoma rancher, who came east a few days ago to resign his s5oOo job as United States marshal. may take up his residence in New York; He IS here now Hooking around" as he puts 1t, and he has not made any plans to re- turn to Oklahoma.
 New Yorks a fine town" he declared in answer to question as to his future, but I'm not quite certain where I'll turn. I've sent for Temple and Louis, the 'Abernathy kids who figured in Col Roosevelts homecoming, and they'll be on next week for a long froIlc in the big city.
 '1'ye sold out most of my holdings fin Oklahoma. It's no longer any fun for a cattle man there. Land is worth s10O an acre now. and that's too valuable for use for cattle grazing.
 I'm mighty glad to get free of my job as United States marshal. l find myself foot loose for the first time in five years. Being marshal had It's bright sides, but there was some things l did not like about it. The truth is, l had to do considerable shooting. I don't know that ways gave the other man plenty of show, but somehow l didn't like it, and I'm glad to be out of it.

POLICE ARE HOT ON
 KIDNAPERS' TRAIL

New York. December 1o.-Little Michael Rizzo spent the greater part of today travelling about the city with detectives until he pointed to them the place in which he was held prisoner by the kid napers, who released him yesterday. His descriptions gave the detectives gen eral idea of the part of town in which he was held, but he did not recognize his prison until after he had been taken in- side
 A fiat on the second floor was pad locked. After an entrance had been forced Michael pointed out the room in which he had been held. It had beer stripped of even the cheap Autographs pasted on the walls. The house is nexi door to the building in which Guisueppe Longo, kidnapped with Michael bS the same man, was held. The police believe they have broken up the band of kid napers and are on the trail of it's chief
 Their belief is strengthened by the fact that another child was returned to- day by kidnapers. Frank Petillo found his 4-year-old daughter, Mary. wrapped in a blanket behind his house in Red Bank, N J. The girl was kidnapped on October 20
 Five kidnapped children have been re- covered in or near New York thls week.

 Out of the vital Hesse fountain, He drew his ethnic strain; Whence cometh a race of doers To bless our wide domain. Fit to defy direst failure. Or meet success unmoved- This was our man of strong action, Whom large achievements proved. Virgin, unsought lay our mountains With buried treasure stored, Till he cpd their hidden portals And claimed the iron hord. Where slept a provincial village A wondrous city stands. To fittingly mark his labor Of brain and heart and hands. Subdued be your sound ye whistles, Soft glow each furnace blast, And mourn with the teeming thousands The founders genius passed.
