Now Let Everybody Talk Fair.
(Contributed.)

d.
The next interesting event to
occur in Mt. Sterling will be the
Montgomery County Fair, which
begins Tuesday, July %, and lasts
five days. Let every man, woman
and child in the city and county
get to work and make it five big,
interesting, successful days. We
are all interested in the fair and it
is up to everybody to boost"
For a period of nearly 20 years
this county was without a fair.
Three years ago a company was or
ganized and the finest J mile track
in the State built; nice grand
stand, floral hall, stables, ETC., q,
erected and we have right in the
city limits a nice enough fair
grounds for a city five times as
large.
The first fair the new company
gave three years. ago was good;
the next two years better and they
are going to make the coming fair
THE BEST. Large premiums are
to be given, which will bring
more and a better lot of stock, and
the increased stakes in the speed
rings is interesting horsemen all
over the State and they will be
here with the best horses.
There is not business man in
Mt. Sterling, KY, that can do
otherwise than to put his shoulder
to the wheel and boom the fair.
1t is to his interest. Don't depend
on the stockholders, thinking they
are the only ones interested. Why
the stockholders have never re-
ceived dollar from the fair that
they did not do four dollars worth
of work for.
1t is just about six weeks until
the fair and let everybody make it
count. Talk it up, write to your
friends, and in everyway advertise
it.
The writer is not a stockholder
in the fair, only a private citizen,
who is interested in Mt. Sterling
and her enterprises, and he knows
the fair is a big thing for our city
and county.

ScHMlTT AND CHIEF JUSTICE.

To The Daily Free Press: In your
report of the proceedings of the re-
publican rally held at the opera
house in this city on the evening of
October %, 1912, I am reported as
having endorsed or recommended
Judge Stanton for the position of
chief justice of the state supreme
court. This does me an injustice,
and is not correct. .,a
l did say that / am personally
acquainted with Judge Stanton, that
he is fine gentleman, and now fill
ing the position of a district Judge
in the northern part of the state. I
then stated that at the primary cleo
ton Judge Stanton, Chief Justice
Start of the supreme court, and
young lawyer of Minneapolis were
candidates for the position of chief
justice of our supreme court; that
after the primary election Judge
Start refused to stand for reelection.
| then stated that the friends of
Calvin l.. Brown, one of the present
justices of the supreme court, had
secured his nomination for the posi-
ton of chief justice of the supreme
court, by petition. l also stated
that / had been for many years
personally acquainted with Judge
Brown, and that, in my opinion and
judgment, Judge Brown is the most
competent man for the position of
chief justice of our supreme court,
and that l hoped that the voters
would see to it that he is elected
to that position at the coming cleo
ton.
l hope that you will give this mat
ter such publicity that any one who
may have read your report of the
proceedings of the rally upon this
matter, may be informed correctly
as to what I said with reference to
the candidates for this office. Very
truly yours H. L. Schmitt
