War is about to De officially declared, the said and peaceful residents of this quiet com Tnunfty now awaiting the firing of the first gun And it is all because of those little carnivals which the fire men hold annually. War clouds gath cred for a time last season-ft really did look threatening-bu they blew over when the Southport fire fighters decided that they would have nothing l Of carnival and would Jet the Fair | field crowd go ahead and have their inning
 It came about this way. Last year the Southport firemen decided to hold a carnival-t1hey had not had one for several years-but they neglected to Southporters, the Fairfield fireGnen learned of the intention of the South porters and they, the Fairf1elders, got together deciding upon dates for a carnival of their own. Such dates were arranged that it would be a financial inpossibflity for the South- porters to tackle a. carnival after the enemy had their fling. ThNy accord ingly decided that they would do not11- ing for the year but that this summer they woaIld show the other fellows something.
 OI1ly d ISSW u1Sl9LS ago. LQ6 SOuLIlS port fir'emen met and voted to hold their affair for five nights conn1enc- ing on Aug. 19 Tuesday evening, the Fairfield fireInen in a. special meeting decided that they were in need of new apparatus, and besides were about to build new home. voted to hold their annual carnival from Aug. 8 to 16, getting in a few days of the South porterS.
 According to the Southport ffrernen it is all very we'll for the Fairfield fellows to have a nice little money making affair, but that there is noth- ing in the game if the two Of them have the same sort of entertainment the same season. They consider that as they were the good fellows last sea- son letting the Fairf1elders down with out opposition that the latter should be kind enough this year and recipro- cate. Somebody is to be handed his passports within the next few days then lookout The Southporters say they are going to show the other fel- lows a. thing or two. while the Fair f1e1ders say the enemy has nothing on them. When it's all over who will quote General Sherman's saying con- cerning war?
