MARATHON COUNTY FAIR.

Most of us like to know the dates
Of the annual county fair so that we
can arrange to take a week off and
see the sights. 1t is something to
dream about and club with which
to Danish worry and other like
enemies Secretary Christie informs
a PILoT reporter that the dates have
been set for Sept. lst, End, Bird and
4th. This seems to be pretty
good time on which to hold it,
though one cannot tell for sure.
We well remember when the PILOT
man was holding down the Secre-
tary'S job and the dates were set
for Sept. 1st, End and Bird. On the
first day, the sun was out in all its
glory until all of the main buildings
were full of exhibits and all of the
stock barns, poultry sheds and various
pens were likewise full and then Ii
commenced TO rain and never let up
until on the 4th of Sept, and no one
went to the grounds but those who
had to. So, no one can tell what
kind of weather is liable to be handed
out to us for fair on any date.
However, if a bluff is put up to Archie
Babcock, our local weather man, as
early as possible, the goods will be
forthcoming, as he "bane a good
feller,'
The Wisconsin state fair will start
on the 18th of Sept, and as this
county hopes to make an exhibit at
that fair it gives those in charge the
best kind of an opportunity to prepare
for the occasion. Secretary Christie
is anxious that special train be run
from Wausau to the state fair. One
is to be run from Amigo and with the
rates down to nearly one half, 800
people ought to attend from this
