Sid Wright, on account of his wife's
poor health, the heavy work and long
hours in the restaurant and as a
whole the work being too much for
old folks like them, sold out his res
taurant to Fat" Briggs and Guy Hix-
with all up-to-date goods and II is to
be run in the very same manner that
1t has been heretofore.
The ice cream social held here last
Friday for the benefit of the Lynn
vile band was grand success. The
crowd was the largest that has ever
been present at anything of this kind.
They came from Killduff, Sully, Tain
tor and some were here who lived as
far as ten miles away. The Killdufi
band were right there with the goods
and they certainly furnished some
excellent music which everyone en-
joyed. The ice cream tables were
nearly all full all evening and there
kept busy nearly all the time. There
was about eighty-five dollars worth OF
ice cream and cake sold and after
paying all expenses there was about
fifty dollars clear which will go on
paying for the uniforms.

stance, Mrs. Nell Steck, Gladys Syl-

The Jasper County Fair is all right
but il we have the annual exhibition
sized up. correctly 1t costs man a
good deal to get to see 1t. To illus
trate: A fellow from Lynnville, went
to the fair to see the ball game the
other day. He had his car with him.
He paid .thirty-five cents for his car
and thirty-five cents for himself at
the main entrance gate. But he had
to drive over into the quarter stretch
before he could get in hailing distance
of the ball game. The trip then
across to the race track cost him an
other fifty cents, twenty-five for him.
self and twenty-five for the car.
When he landed on the side lines near
third base he had spent one dollar
and twenty cents just to see the ball
game. 1t seems to us that that is
too much money for the show they
have up there at the county seat.
