A Gala Day For Endeavor.

teTm We can use IN uescrlDlDg the street
fair held at Endeavor on the evening OF
Thurdsay, Aug. 18th. 1t was a hummer
from the word go, all the features meet
ing with the approval of the more than
1000 visitors that crowded the grounds
from 4 to 10 o'clock.
To explain the extent OF the entertain
ment would take up too much space, but
let us picture for you in words how very
beautiful that Little Pocket in the hills"
looked 10 her festive garb, with hundreds
OF lights arrayed into a "Gay White
Way" First came the fish pond in its
rustic setting; then the candy booth which
was the storm center for the children.
Then a cute little novelty-"Rebecca at
the WELL" an original idea OF serving
cooling drinks from a stone well, with a
pretty maiden doing out the delicious
lemonade.
Space will not permit us to describe sll
the features of the day. If you missed it
we are sorry for you, but we will say that
it was one.of the prettiest sights we have
ever seen.
The Gave of the Winds" the "Parcel
Post Office" the "Fish Pond" the "For-
tune Teller" and the "Trip around the
World" were all mighty entertaining
and as well patronized.
Danny Wallace was there with his
eighteen entertainers in the ozark town
Minstrel Show" Danny deserves much
credit for training these boys so well. He
had one Little Tot, Master Gene Hart,
who sang Ppm the Guy" in a very pro-
fessional manner Then five boys about
II years of age did a darby song and
dance in a very pleasing way. His ten
big singers we're also well received. Mr..
Willard Porterield was the middle man
and carried the show off in great style.
Mr.. Throm with his violin, and Lloyd
Cleveland and Lee Thomson with the
horns, furnished most excellent instru-
mental music.
Danny appeared in his minstrel tumble
but he was the one busy man all oyer the
grounds. He did not stay very long in a
place but had the audience with him on
his "Another Rag" song.
