 MT. and Mrs. B. A. Bulkley have received word that their daughter
 Mrs. Edwin S. Hawkes., of Rosamond | H., is the mother of daughter. l At a meeting of the Greenhelo Country Club, held last Thursday l night. the announcement was< made | that the committee in charge had de- | cided to omit the fair this year. That | there would be no fair this year mas i been pretty well known for some time
 past, as no effort had been made te begin the arrangements It has been
 stated that the returns of the falr 1oi l the last two years had been too small for the amount of work entailed and | there was general disinclinatior I among the members to tackle SC strenuous a job. The work took the
 time of many members which was
 needed in their business. and the l profit to the club was small. These
 members prefer to make their assess | ments large enough to make up 1ol the amount the fair would have i brought into the club, and so continue it. The members of the club have
 never allowed the aggregation O. fakirs which have made other fairs notorious and have as a matter O principle sacrificed the income Whlcf
 comes from this source. Such fafl
 would not have been for the best in
 terests of the public even if the re ceipts had been larger for the club. | Charles M. Hayward of New Haven
 who was bound over to the Superlo
 court by Judge Bacon Wakeman o1
 charge of obtaining $15 from l.. C Billings of Southport on false pre-
 tenses, was unable to furnish the bone
 of $500 demanded and was taken t
 the county jail to await trial. HI
 denies the charge and Billings is un able to identify the man positively a
 the one wanted. The authorities ar
 satisfied, however, that they have tn right man.
