CAVALIER co. Big FAIR
Big Entries of Exhibits and Fine
Program of Horse Races, and
Sports of all Kinds
Two Air Ship Flights Will be Made
Each Day of the Fair

Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of
next week, August 9th, 10th and 1ltb
the Cavalier county fair is going to De
held in the City OF Langdon. The mana
cement are attempting to make the
fair of 1911, not entirly an exhibition of
few best things but the gathering
together of what the people of the
county have about their homes every
day, so that persons may know what
other persons can do in the way of
handiwork, what sort of grains they raise
on their farms and in their gardens, and
what live stock they keep in the
ordinary way and for general usefulness
to the community as a whole.
To make great show or an amuse-
ment place would, perhaps be worth
while. 1t might pay to collect through
gate receipts sum of money and pay
the entire amount to the people, animals
and property assembled on the fair
grounds simply to be looked at and to
amuse the people who pay in their
money at the gate for the privilege
However, the primary object is an ex-
hibit of the best products of the com.
munity so that visitors may judge of
our immense wealth of one of the best
counties in the whole state.
We want a big fair in Langdon, one
that will fairly represent the products
and industry of the community and one
at which each person will find recogni-
tion and be awarded something for the
trouble and expense to which he puts
himself to help make the show.
We appeal to the whole people of
the county to make the Cavalier county
fair Of 1911 one characteristic by
multitute of exhibits. We have the
best amusement company an aviator
who can fly, a good string of horses
sports and games, but we cannot have
a fair IN the real sense of the word un.
less the people themselves will exhibit
what they have in their homes, barns
and fields.
The fair management can do no more
than open its gates to the people to
come and do their best IN comparison
with each other and if they take advan,
tage OF opportunity they can make our
county fair great market in which
they can exchange their wares with
each other and be of great benefit OF
course, amusement is necessary, fun
goes with work, but we ought not to
tnrn this great fair into mere show.

such as seldom is heard of in this par

day, June 18th, about three miles from
Beaulieu in the mountains. A young
man some sixteen years old nance
Albert Lap lante was out looking fol
berries when he was attacked by pack
of five-one timber wolf and four coyotes
He climbed tree and after waiting an
hour or two, hoping the animals would
leave, he began to shout. His cries
were heard by John Shannon young
man living about half mile away, and
taking his gun he went to see what the
trouble was. He had to fire two OF
three times before the hungry brutes
were driven off, but they finally sneaked
away leaving young LaPlante who was
badly cramped by his long stay in the
tree.~-W Walhalla Mountainesr, s,.g ag

Tariff Commission SinecureS.

The tariff board bill as finally
passed by the house provides for
a commission of five members,
not more than three to be of the
same political party. The term
Of Office is to be for six years.
Those first appointed shall be for
terms Of two, three, four. five and
six years respectively, to be de-
signated by the president, who
shall also designate the member
to be chairman. the salary OF the
latter to be $500 and that of the
members $1,000 year. The pre-
sent tariff board will expire by
Limitation on the Goth of June
next. What it has accomplished
no one knows. What the present
board can or will accomplish is
equally neoulous.
six nice tat siEecures are Great
ed. and there is no limit whatever
to the amount that the board may
expend in securing information
on matters to be considered in the
revision of the tariff and submit
ting the same to congress for its
action. But congress always has
he'd this infor walton, and upon it
since Repr lean dominance had
fixed exorbitant rates. 1t will de-
pend upon who is in power. If
congress were to continue Repub-
lican and the board recommended
reduced schedules it would be
about as effective as flea biting
a hippopotamus. II congress
were Democratic and the board
recommended increased duties,
upon it's 'scientific" compilations,
it's Recommendations would be
laughed out of court.
AS pointed out by Champ Clark
in the debate, the whole scheme
isidiot:c. That some of the Demo-
cratic members voted for it is ex-
planned by the fact that the next
house will be Democratic and will
see to it that there will be three
Democratic members on the board
who shall be real Democrats.
And no matter, even then, what
the board will recommend or
report, the house will proceed to
immediate downward tariff re-.
vision, The board will be simply
a mum Der of Office holders at fat
salaries who can junket over the
United States at will and blow the
peoples money. Its work, in the
very nature of things, can never
be of much value.

Death Of Nj. Nathan K. Todd,

Just as VIC were preparing to
60 to press the unpleasant news
reached us of the death OF Mr..
Nathan K. Todd, which sad event
happened yesterday morning at
his home on Garrett plantation in
this parish. Mr.. Todd he'd been
in failing health for some time,
and til ,ugh his passing away from
.ife hrre was not unexpected, still
the news of his death came as a
shock to his many friends who
loved, honored and esteemed him.
He was respected by all who knew
him, irrespective Of caste or
station. He belonged to gen.
Grafton of men which is fast pass
ing away, and he has left behind
but few of his old comrades to
mourn for him.
MIR. Todd was a gentleman Of
what is called the old school; he
was thoroughly imbued with, and
never deviated in all his actions
from the heightened chivalry, in
ICSTlLy duu ilUuOl dUlC COuOuCl VI
a gentleman Of the Old South.
His ancestors were among the
pioneers who first settled in the
parish of st. Mary, and who by
their energy, industry, honesty,
wisdom and good judgment Great
ed out of the wilderness and
builded up the fairest parish in
the State Of Louisiana. He was a
worthy son of worthy sires, and
like them he always stood for all
that is high, honorable and cour-
ageous in life. He was a veteran
of the War between the States,
serving with conspicuous gallantry
until the surrender. The funeral
services will take place this morn
lag in Franklin at 10: 80 O'Clock
from the Episcopal Church.
The BANNER extends to the de-
ceased fanily its sincerest SYM
pathy in this the hour of their
great bereavement.

How To Stop
-A-
Stubborn Cough

We don't mean just stop the irri-
tation in your throat-but cure the
underlying cause.
Cough syrups cannot do this. 1t
takes a constitutional tonic body
builder to do the work properly
and cure you to stay cured. Vinol
is the remedy you need.
HERE Is PROOF
Mrs. Minnie OsgoOd, of Glens Falls,
n. y, writes:-" after trying several rem
edies for a bad cough and cold without
benefit, I was asked to try Vinol. 1t
worked like magic. 1t cured my cold
and cough and i gained in health and
strength. 1 consider Vino1 the most
wonderful tonic and invigorator 1 ever
saw
If we cannot stop that cough
with VINOL-our delicious cod
liver and iron tonic-which is made
without olive will not charge
you a cent for the medicine you
buy. This seems like pretty fair
proposition-and ought to be &C
cepted. Don't you think so? With
this understanding we ask you to
try a bottle of VINOL.
