COUNTY ] FAIR TO Be
A HUMMER SURE
NOTHING CAN PREVENT BURKE
CQINTY HAVING BEST FAIR
IN STATE.

Judging from reports coming
from all parts of the county the
attendance at the Burke county
fair this fall will be unusually
large, and the event. will prove
a big success in every way. Farm
work throughout the district is so
we'll advanced that there is hardly
farmer who will not be able to
attend on this account. The ex-
hibits will be many in all depart
ments, and lively contests might be
looked for. Especially in the live
stock department will there be dis
played much interest. Since the
fair held two years ago several doz-
en- head of blooded cattle were ship
ped into the county, and as many
blooded horses with probably 40 or
more blooded hogs. The exhibits
in the live stock department two
years ago were exceptionally good,
and there is no way out of it but
THAT che exhibits this year will be
several times better.
There are a great many people
in Burke county that have taken
special pride in their flock of chick
ems, AND any number of exception
ally fine birds have been shipped
in from breeders in the east. The
halls will be we'll filled with pro-
ducts competing for premiums.
The race program published in
The Tribune several weeks ago is
creating considerable interest
among the horse men of Burke
and adjacent counties. and some
mighty good races might be ex-
pected. The purses are large
enough to attract attention from
anyone, and the contests will be
surely hard fought. IS
The fair this year will without
any question be one of which the
people Of Burke county can be
proud. ss5s ~ %> 80

Every resident of Birmingham who
claims early citizenship in his famliy
can recall when a thickly overgrown
woodland, with winding paths led to the
few settlements on the north side of
Red mountain, covering the territory
that Is now an ornament to a fashion
able neighborhood. We wonder If the
man who cut down the first tree In

nue. would not stand in amazement at
the Transformation in so few years. AS

The country bordering the limits OF

Frank Erdman of Omaha, Neb was
some time ago saved from the peni-

York World. Assisting the shadow
was an ingenious lawyer and a learned
professor of astronomy, and while the
jury which tried Erdman was unable
to appreciate the nicety of the astro-
nomical alibi presented for Erdman the
supreme court of Nebraska recognized
the exact nature of the science and
ordered retrial of the case, which
ended in the abandonment of the
charges against the prisoner and his
subsequent dismissal
Erdman was accused of having
placed an internal machine containing
26 sticks of dynamite upon the porch
of Thomas DenDison of Omaha with the
intention of blowing Dennison and his
family into the hereafter.

Plans have already been completed
for one of these residences and will

Before Christmas at least dozen houses
will be under course of construction in the
property, and in the early spring the Miner

will be completed by the purchasers of lots.
Now is the time to see Miner Heights. Still
better, it is the time to buy We are war

He said that a neighbor had told
him a snake story just before he went

He thought how comfortable 1t was
to live in a country where one could
sleep in peace instead of in one Of
those countries where he had heard
snakes sometimes creep in and share
ones bed.
He thrust his right leg deeper I'M
der the covers. Then something that
stung ike a hot needle pierced his
ankle. Il sprang out of bed and ran
and stumbled twelve feet across the

had taken so many steps unassisted
since I was a baby"
And was it really a snake?" he
was asked. NO it was a wasp"
And he showed the ankle where the
sting had swollen It.
