In the open letter of A. o..
Blake, which appeared in the last is
sue of The Citizen, we desire to
make a correction which oreeped in
in some inadvertent manner. The
sentence should have read that Mr..
Blake has served as Master, instead
of stating that he is Master of
Wayne County Pomona Grange. In
stead of being county organizer, as
stated, it should have been district
deputy.

L" TURNED DOWN AGAIN."
TTune-" Happy Day."


Once more old Wayne has been turn
ed down.
Once more she meekly bows to
fate;-
Humiliated thus, for years,
An elder daughter of the State.
CHORUS:
Dear old Wayne" poor old Wayne,
Turned down again, turned down
again!
Her civic rights once more ignored,
An honored son completely floor
ed,
Dear old Wayne" poor old Wayne,
Turned down again, turned down
again!"
Once more old Wayne is counted
out
Once more the sweet congressional
plum,
She hungered for with keen desire,
Is given to sisters son,
Once more old Wayne has played
and lost
Her sisters held the cards that
won;
And yet, they might have played for
her,
And let her beat, just once, for
fun!

The Great Darke County Fair
is once more on in full blast this
week. 1t really started on Sun
day, which day saw the largest
crowd of people ever assembled
on the grounds on a Sunday pre-
ceding the opening of the fair.
Even some of the paid attrac-
tions took advantage of the pres
ence of the large crowd and op-
ened up and give several eXhi-
bitions before they were stopped
by Secretary Frank Plessinger.
But if the Board permits the re-
freshment stands, candy men,
balloon venders, etc., to ply their
trade on Sunday, why not allow
all attractions to open up that
wish to? We can not see where
the distinction comes in. But
the fair. While it is, in a man
ner, a repetition of all former
years, yet this year sees more
and better entries and exhibits
in all departments, much better
free and paid attractions than
was ever before seen upon a fair
grounds in Greenville. The race
track, which was rebuilt this
summer, is now considered one
of the fastest and best half mile
tracks in the state, and the en-
tries for all races are larger than
ever, among them some OF the
fastest horses in the country.
The contests on the race track
this week promise to be the best
ever, and the same can be truth
fully said of every one of the de-
partments. AS to the attend
ance, with good weather, it viii
be a record breaker. On Tues
day, the real first day of the
fair, people began coming int
town in the early hours of thu
morning, while yesterday ant
today it was fairly a jam

1t is not common to find a per-
son who can correctly estimate
the lapse of a single second. But
in these days of speeding auto
the exact time when each
of two colliding vehicles must
have occupied particular spots
may be a matter of great impor-
tance. In a recent experiment a
car took nearly two seconds to
stop after brakes were applied,
and in that time it moved nine
teen feet. So even fractions of
a second are important. One can
train himself to estimate even
tenths of a second. Try it with
a watch, and it will be found
that it is just possible to count
ten in the lapse of a single Sec
ond. But one must count fast to
do it.

Forest King, the 19-year-old
son of J. D. King and wife of
New Madison, was drowned last
Thursday afternoon in a pond a.
bout II miles west of that vii
lage, in which he and several
companions were swimming.
They had been in the water,
which is from eight to ten feet
deep, for some tine and the 9TH
ers had gone to the bank, when
they heard his cries for help and
saw him sink before they could
save him. It is supposed he was
taken with cramps, as he was a
good swimmer and had been in
the water for some time. The
body was recovered about twen-
ty minutes after he sank, and
heroic efforts made to resuscitate
him, but life was extinct, and
his body was removed to the
home of his parents. His father
is cashier of the bank in New
Madison, and the young man was
most popular and exemplary, his
sudden death casting a gloom ov-
er the community that will be
felt for some time to come. Fu-
neral services were held Sunday
afternoon at the New Madison
U. B. church.
During the rain storm last
Thursday afternoon the light
ming was again quite severe and
struck in several places. The
barn of VIM. REM, who resides
on the Ansonia pike, about two
miles north of town, was struck
and fired, burning to the ground,
together with his tobacco shed
and chicken house. The barn
contained this years crops, a.
mong which was nearly 400 bush
els or oats, ZI5 DuSnelS OF WneaC,
8 tons of hay, and his farm i'm
pIements, harness, etc.. all of
which was lost. About two hun
dred chickens sought shelter un-
der the barn and they, too, were
consumed by the flames. A large
straw stack, from 18 acres of
grain, that had been stacked near
the barn was also burned. By
