ADJUSTMENTS


i @oo SouhAy ali euuel
I tainment has been postponed to Fri
day, April 2S, on account Of previous
I engagements of so many of the youn,
; people who are to take part.
For over twenty years the cryin.
need of this section Of the country has
been a real, dyed-in-rhe-wool county
fair. What We want is the genuine
by-heckeriah, doe-see-doe, swing vel
partner variety, with all the trimmin's
OF cerise-colored lemonade, ponderous
pumpkins, wheel O. fortune, Angora
hogs. Shetland sheep, and Berkshire
ponies, all covered with red, white and
blue ribbons-something with dash
and go to 1t, wheer the melodious
voice of the faker intermingling with
the dulcet note of the balloon squawk
er makes music that for real melody
has metropolitan grand opera beaten
to whisper.
That's what we've been laundering
for with neyer-waning hank; the
glorious vision that haunts our dreams
by night, and ever beckons like a
magnificent mirage through all our
waking moments.
And now, through the enterprise Of
the Civic League, our dreams are
about to be realized, and county fair
OF such magnitude that others sink
into innocuous insignifcance when
compared with 1t Is to be ours. Miss
Lanehart, who has made the drilling
and producing of home-talent plays a
speciality, will have entire charge of
the production.
That Miss Lanehart is on to her lob
is evidenced by the fact that she has
been able to get about whatever she
asks for from the authorities. and all
kinds of concessions have been grant
ed for side-show attractions and games
of chance.
Mayor Maloney did not grant these |
privileges hastily or without due con. |
sideration, as he feels that the inter |
ests OF our townspeople should be
safeguarded, and no shows of a cues.
tionable nature should be allowed nor
any games in which the player has
no chance to win. He says he has
looked itno these tented attractions
and that they are all to the good
while ever player has chance to win
at the gaming stands-a fine chance.
Rracing, chicken-1ghting, balloon as.
tensions and airship flights, quilt and
narmalade exhibitions will furnish
'lenty OF excitement for young and
I'D, and the special engagement OF I
he A. & NJ. Cornet Band is an added G
eature that will contribute to the !
success of "The County Fair" G
rank Buchanan has spent the last \
hree weeks in Side View Corners
ounding up the attractions and Sc 9
ured the services of X. Absolom Il
Junk, the distinguished editor of the n
ide View Clarion, to act as special "
to The Bryan Eagle. He 81
Ill keep us posted on all matters of u
lterest pertaining to that hustling o.
nd progressive sections of our county h
nd give interesting notes OF the do Sc
gs OF his accomplished fellow-citi. OF
ms who are booked to take promi- IN
snt parts in the Great and Only. 81
Some OF our people are perhaps un. III
ware OF even the existence of this DE-
Iral community known as Side View tn
orners, probably through its lack of 10
presentation in the columns of The ba
agile, but as that drawback is now dc
NEEDED, we will soon become better tn
quainted. Brother Bunk's letter will LEI
pear shortly, and as he has a repu- is
ton for truth and veracity that is at
his own. his statements may be SO
Ken as being beyond doubt, or. at ca
asst, successful contradiction. Here's VII
osperity to "The County Fair" Nav As
live long in our memories as the OF
ost enjoyable and profitable enter lat
lnment ever given for a most de- th'
rving civic purpose, and let us all WI
