superior in every respect to any state

of Missouri is assured, and the az
rangement of the attractive displays

will complete all preparations for
this years state fair.
The displays of agricultural and
horticultural products will be sur.
prisingly large, and on account of
the increased number of county dis.
plays, there will be an overflow from
the large Agricultural building into
shelter tents in the immediate yicin.

OUR FAIR.

The Pennington Fair for this
year, while not fully up to the three
first fairs of the Southeast Missouri
Fair Association, has many extenu-
ating circumstances In it's favor.
The cyclone that devastated so large
a portion Of our town and county
last April, completely demolished
the grand stand and other buildings
aud swept away nearly every i'm
provement on the grounds, the loss
reaching into the thousands. To
raise the money to replace these
buildings and get ready for any sort
of fair at all this fall was no easy
undertaking The money which
would have been used To further i'm
prove the grounds and make for II
better fair had to be used in re-
building and repairs, leaving much
yet To he done. Under all the draw
backs that beset IT, the fair was bet
ter probably than could have been
expected, and those who criticise II
forget to take into consideration the
hindrances and difficulties under
which the association labored
But the enterprising men interest
ed in the association do not intend
that such things shall discourage
them, and they are again taking
steps to make the Pennington Fair
the important factor that it should
be, They have employed Mr.. Ed
Byington'to go over the county, see
the farmers, stockmen and others
who ought to be interested in build
ing up II good county fair. and get
as many as possible TO take stock
IN the enterprise. This movement
ought to meet with encouragement, e,
and we believe il will. Unless the
public generally takes IA prac tical
and helping interest in the fair. il
cannot be made to measure up. 20
what ii should. They ought to take

the selfish idea of "what is there in
it for me?" but in n broad public
spirited way, because it will be n
good thing for the county, the town
and indirectly for every farmer and
stock raiser and all lines of busi-
ness. 1t will show that we have n
live, progressive, energetic and pub
lie spirited people. Let us all pull
together to make the Pennington
Fair one of the best in the State. If
you can't help, don't knock.

Relief for Fish Bone in Throat

We noticed an article in paper
the other day Of n man who had II
bone in his throat from enting fish.
Those at the table with him sug.
gested different remedies for remov-
ing 1t, when one man called for
lemon and cutting in two gave
half to the sufferer aud told him
to suck some of the juice. In few
seconds tho man was relieved and
said the bone had gone down. The
maG who gave the remedy said, yes
but not before II had been dissolved,
as the acid of the lemon had soft.
ened the bones. Those at the table
tried the experiment of squeezing
the juice Of the lemon on some of
the bones. and is said they were dis
solved, IL this be true 1t might be
n good thing for you to know If you

South Ward building 9l.5 per cent.
Colored school building 10 per
cent.
The room having the highest at
tendance was the Sth grade, 9S.9 per
cent.
Regular attendance is quite i'm.
pOrtant. A few lessons missed may
be responsible to large extent for
the loss OF interest on the part of
the pupil. This is particularly true
If the pupil is having difficult time
in Keeping up with his class. II
will be To the interest of the pupil
also to get into the habit Of being
regular in attending to duty.
The enrolment at present in each
school building is as follows:
High School building lsG.
North Ward building 10.
South Ward building ISL.
ColOred School building 80. Total
G2G.
This is . more than was enrolled
by the close of the first month of
school last year.
The Attendance officer is at work
looking up the delinquents. This is
rather slow task, as there are so
many schools in Pennington that
pupils may attend. II will be appre-
ciatcd If these schools will continue
to encourage the Attendance Officer
ia the discharge of his duty and as.
sist him in securing the proper IN
formation.
The law requires every child be-
tween the ages of \ and II to he In
school The Attendance Officer
may excuse temporarily for the fol-
lowing reasons: Lack of proper

ity. The only other excuses are, ~

plOyed. 1t Is Illegal to employ a
boy or girl under II years OF age,
and one under III unless provided
with certificate showing that the

certificates are issued by the super
intendents of the city schools. It
will be appreciated If the business
men OF the town will cooperate
with the superintendent in cuforc-
this law.
