HAD A CLOSE CALL.

Bert Chambers who has been en-
ployed Oh the bridge crew, had an
extremely narrow escape from death
Wednesday morning while at work.
The big steel cable which nuns from
the cement tower "buckled" ion such
a way as to strike him on the back
Of the neck, knocking him senseless
for a considerable length Of time
but luckily not injuring him severely
He was taken to his home and Seems
to be getting along in fine SHAPE
and will probably be adj right again
in day or two, but he can consid
er himself mighty lucky that hi
neck was not broken.

L. B. Wilcox was On the sick list
for several days last week, for the
first time in over ten years, and
about the second time in bis life.
He was unable to be at the store
much Of the time for thnee days,
and We have an idea that the enforc.
ed idleness hurt him worse than did
the sickness. L. B. confesses to be-
ing right at so years Of age and the
only time IN his life that he requir-
ed the services of a physician was
once about ten years ago, which for
a delicate little fellow like John" is
a pretty good record. He says If he
had not had so much to do he might
have consented to having another
sick spell last week, but it was nee
essary to make a business trip Q to
Kansas City Friday, so he put II off
until he gets ElOre time.

OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER
ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL FAIR.
one Just Closed One of the Best
~. In the Associations History.

The Tenth Annual Barton County
Fair closed last Friday after one Of
the most successful events in the his
tory of the Association, and already
the management and the promoters
are beginning to make their perpara-
lions for another bigger and better
showing than ever next year.
Three month ago when the ques---
ton of whether or not Barton COuIl-
ty should have a fair this year came
up before the board Of directors and
. few of the loyal boosters of the
project, the matter did not meet with
the encouragement of nearly as many
q the business men, or the farmers
over the county that 1t should. And
there was reason for good part Of
their seeming pessimism and hest
J fancy in the matter, too. The crops
Cor the season had been anything but
good. throughout the entire county;
the prospects for the future were any
thing but bright; other associations
all over the state were calling off
their fairs for the year; 1t looked
IS though it would be almost impOs-
Sible to get together an exhibit that
would make a creditable showing for
tie county, or to get people to at
tend even II such should be the case.
But the association did not like the
idea Of passing up year, and at the
risk of losing heavily ON the enter.
prise, voted that the fair should be
sheld.
And the outcome has been more
satisfactory than was even hoped fOl
by the most sanguinne. There was
not a single department where the
. displays were not as good or even
better than in the previous years
. True, the showing Of wheat, corn AMI
SNch products were not as numerous
IS IN other yaers, but this loss wal
more than made up by the fine show
iAgs Of vegetables, fruits, etc., whilt

and School Departments fairly TEEN

MRS. THEo. GRIFFITH.

Mrs. Theo. Griffith passed away at
her home in this city last Wednes-
day, Oct. Sth., after an illness Of
several months, and during the last
few weeks Of which she had been in
such a condition that her death had
been momentarily expected.
Mrs. Griffith. whose maiden name
was Mary Magdaleue Mosely, was
born In Marion county, Mo-, Novem-
Der 16, 1850, being at the time of
her death 62 years, 10 months and
% days of age. She was united in
marriage to Theo. Griffith in Saline
county in this state, November u,
1871, the family moving to Barton
county in March Of 1879, living on
a farm for a few years and later
moving to this city where they have
since made their home.
&c the union seven children were
born, six Of whom with the husband,
three sisters and two brothers, are
left to mourn her loss. The child
rem are Miss Leona Griffith, Mrs.
Maude Beardsley, Mrs. W. A. Amend,
and Arthur and Verna Griffith, Of
this city, Mrs. Ed Fouch, Of Catfor-
mia, and Ed Griffith, Of Kansas City.
The sisters are Mrs. Ed Tyler, Of
this city, Mrs. Anna York, Of Col
try. Okla, and Mrs. Sarah Allison,
Of LasAnimas, Colo. The brothers
are Dick Mosely. Of Goltry, Okla,
and Henry Mosely, Of Carthage, Mo.
Mrs. Griffith was a woman who
was universally loved and esteem
ed by all Of her acQuaintances. She
was a true and faithful wife, a moth
er who loved and reared her chill
dren IN the right way Of living, SELF
sacrificing in all things II need be
that their every desire might be full
filled, she has left vacant a. place in
the family circle that can never be
filed.
Funeral services were held from
the home Sunday afternoon at two
O'Clock and interment made In the
Great Bend cemetery.
The hosts Of friends unite with
the family IN their grief over their
great loss.

cited admiration at any state fair.
But it was in the live stock divis-
ion, and especially in the draft morse
section, that the finest showing was
made, and it was an exhibition that
would have delighted the eye OF ev-
cry lover Of fine horses, and to see
this department alone was worth tne
price of admission and a full days
time for any man. We doubt very
much if there is another county in
the state which can produce as fine
a showing of draft horses as that
made by Ewing & Sons Ray Baird
Arthur Raseky, Harris erOs E. E.
COwdery, Norman Duschasne, A. Mic
olet, and other breeders of the coun-
ty. The writer is free to acknow-
ledge that he had no idea that there
were so many exceptionally fine hors-
es in the county-horses capable of
giving a good account of themselves
in any show ring in the UNITED
States. The showing by Ewing &
Sons and Ray Baird is deserving OF
special mention. These men make g
specially of the big and the little
kinds. the mammoth draft horses,
weighing over a ton each, and the
tiny Shetland ponies, that look like
miniatures alongside Of the big black
drafters. They had a showing OF y
head, and carried off a number of
the prizes offered. These farmers,
and all who had Showings in this
class were farmers, and not alone
horse specialists, showed to the thou
sands who viewed their stock that it
is lust as cheap and much more prof
liable to raise good stock as it is
to raise scrubs. Most of the hOrs-
es shown, with the exception Of the
stations, were just out of the fall
work; had had no special prepare
tion for the fair, but at that they
were fat and sleek, showing that
their greater size and good breeding
makes them easier keepers and
capable of doing more work than the
poorly bred understood horse, and
there was, many a man at the fair
who went home with the determine
ton to handle better stock i'm the
future.
There was a very fine showing of
young horses and mules at the fair,
and a good share Of the credit for
this excellent showing belongs to Mr..
E. E. Cowdery, the horseman. Mr..
Cowdery early this spring offered a
number Of liberal prizes for colts ex-
hibited at the fair and sired by amy
Of his stations, and his example was
followed by others OF the breeders Of
the county. But Mr.. COwdery did
not content himself with simply Of
fering the prizes, but he has made
It point all summer and fall to
boost the horse department of the
fair and urge all who had good colts,
whether sired by his horses or not to
exhibit them. He has been a boost.
er for the county fair from start to
finish, and he deserves the thanks
OF the association for the good work
he has done.
The cattle department was only
represented by four showings, but al
that the leading breeds we've repre-

ware ard Implement Co., led all 9TH
ers with their complete display Of |
practically all the principal lines car
ried by the firm. 1t was a showing
worthy OF notice anywhere and be-
speaks Wei for the push and enter
prise Of the firm. Other good dis
plays were made by Price BondurantI
and T.. E. Cook.
Contrary to the custom Of some
Of the fairs Of former years, the rae.
ing end OF the program was made a
matter of secondary importance and
for this reason there was not as
large a field of racing stock as at
some Of the previous fairs, but at
that the races were good and high
ly enjoyed by all present. The mot
orcycle races seemed to be espec-
tally pleasing to the crowd and were
full of enough thrills TO satisfy any
one. A full report ct the race re-
suits vii be found in another part Of
the paper.
It was a matter Of much regret
to the fair management that Lon
sren, the aviator, was not able to
be here on account of the weather
Conditions which made flying impos.
sible, but it was something that could
not be helped, and everyone took
the disappointment good natunedly.
One thing was missing that caused
great lamentation among the chill
dren and considerable thankfulness
among the most of the elders, and
that was the merry7go-round. Ar
rahgements had been made with the
same man who was hene last year,
but he broke down at his last place
AMI was unable to make connec-
tioas to- get here in time. Not much
was doing on the midway, for
which the management should be con
graduated. A little of this kind Of
money separation goes a long ways
with the average fair crowd nova
days.
Music for the occasion was furnish
ed by the Comanche Township and
the Pawnee Rock bands, and it was
gratifying to the people here that
although Great Bend can boast of
NO band Of its own, there is two
such excellent organizations in the
county. Both Of these bands have
only been organized but a few months
but the music furnished was such as
to bring forth praise from all who
heard them, and the members have
reason to be very proud Of the rap
i'd progress they have made.
Taken all in all, the fair was first
class in every respect, and It is
doubtful il there is another county
in the state which will make a bet.
ter showing this year. And the sue
cess is the greater from the fact that
it was achieved against conditions
and obstacles that at the time al.
most seemed unsurmountable. But il
shows that the people of the county
are not of the calibre that are cas-
lily discouraged, and already prepar
atoms are being made for a bigger
and better fair than ever in 1914.
Just keep on wearing that Ettle
fair booster badge, and be clasSed
with the fellows who are in the boost
er wagon all the time.
