Dav at the Pensacola Interstate Fair,

thing of its kind ever attempted at

Crary, Of Bluff Springs, the energetic
member OF the board of public instrucr
ton. is in charge OF the arrange

and earnest cooperation both among
the farmers and. the Pensacola
merchants who are offering valuable
prizes to be competed for.
There il nothing so interesting as a
wedding thinks Mr.. Crary. and he has
decided that at least one couple should
get married at the fair grounds on
Farmers Day. There are many stat
wart, manly and honorable young
farmers in Escambia county-likewiss
many blushing, fetching and alto
gether Iovable maidens whose lives
win not be complete until they have
united them with one of the opposite
sex Mr.. Crary believes. like Long
fe1Ier-"Useless each without the
other There are many valuable
prizes offered for this event, and, as
Mr. Crary is 80 earnestly interested
in the success of this one particular
feature, Uncle Cy Lillard, the manager
of the fair, has been unkind enough
to insinuate that Mr.. Crary is de-
termined, himself, to take the prizes
to his cottage so ideally located at
Bluff Springs. Mr.. Crary is
widower.
