Looker-On In Iona

Eldora. Sept. i2.-Many times has
the question been asked. Why Is it FL
dora always has a good fair? Always
dig crowds and generally good wealth
er. And the answer is this, every
BODY takes an interest in the display
and everybody goes to the fair. Two
days last week the business houses
closed during The afternoon, the nat
lonal banks closed, the drug stores, the
elevator were closed, even the street
paving stopped and the gang we1st to the
falr. Inc farmers must have closed up
| their houses too, for they were all
there In front of one feed barn there
was a row Of empty buggies the whole
length of the block OIL both sides OF the
street Each buggy had big paper
tag attached and 30s stood out plainly.
With three or four feed yards in town
there must have been 1000 empty
| buggies around them. An excursion
train came in with 1000 passengers SO
a Hubbard man claimed 1899 was the
figures others rave. Pony Meade start
ed EN- as usual, eighteen consecutive
years of trying to prevent that bay
horse getting "..head OF the pole horse"
One man exhibited say fifty Shetland
ponies Another man filled the sheep
entries twice over. 1t was stated above
that everybody goes to the Eldora fair,
now this scribe will tell why. Five
thousand adult tickets were sold at. 35
cents each last Thursday a cold raw
almost rainy September day. What
brought them together in such num-
bers? Big pumpkins! oh no Horse
races, automobile races. baseball? Oh
no. they have these things at all fairs.
