Ind all hope to see it as large
md successful as our fair is.
and the only thing that We ever
heard said, except something
pleasant, was when Mt. Vernon's
first exhibition was placed the
week before ours, but after we
saw the benefit it had been to us.
we were ashamed that we had
thoughts, for we
realize that their fair being just
one week before ours has helped
to make ours a better fair, both
in attendance and in quality
exhibits. We were very sOrr!
that such remarks as ITO day
is for the Lincoln people, may be
tomorrow Mt. Vernon can get
some premiums Oh he won't
get n tie, he's from Mt. Vernon"
met our ears. for if there ever
was a set of officers that tried
hard to see that every body got
a square deal, it surely was the
management of this fair. 1t IS
quite natural for every fellow to
think that his exhibit is the
best, and Brodhead fair is not
responsible for the decision OF
unbias judges The two fairs
ought to work together, and
help each other to be better,
and there is no reason why they
could not be of great benefit to
e lch other in many ways, es-
pecially with privilege peopl",
for a number would make Mt.
Vernon fair if it was mentioned
to them that they could make
Brodhead fair without scarcely
any expense in moving, but 1T
looks little to try to persuade
concession people to not make
one fair or the other because Of
strife. We hope that such ideas
will forever fade away with
this year and never return
EDITORS NoTE:-What a few IL
Mt. Vernon or a few in Brodhead
should say or do should not be ap-
pied to all, and the exercise of a
little good Judgment on the part Of
the more conservative, would bring
the splendid results asked for by
our correspondent. Tale-tellers
and trouble makers are many, and
when inclined to believe every re-
port started that is when the
trouble starts which is hard to
stop. Good. citizenship has GER
tain requirements and We belies e
Mt. Vernon and Brodhead are
amply blessed in that line, so let us
prove it to the world and cut out
some of the littleness that has bee n
prac,iced in both towns.
