FAIR THIS YEAR-ALL CASH PREMIUMS
HAVE BEEN WITHDRAWN.
The Public Spirit of the Citizens of Union County
is Appealed tO-GOOd Racing and Many
Other AttractiOns-U. S. Parcel Post
Exhibit Will Be Given Complete

The Union county fair will be held
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of
next week. There was movement
On foot to call off the fair this year,
but this was finally decided against,
and the fair will be held as usual.
However, it has been found necessary
to call off the cash premiums. The
State fair did this, and the Union fair
is but following the lead of the State
fair in this matter. The directors of
the fair have also done away with all
fees for entering exhibits at the fair.
All those who have heretofore been
paid for services during the fair each
year will this year work without pay
The gatekeepers, secretary, in fact,
all connected with the fair will work
without pay this year. Mayor Whar-
ton and the city council have promis-
ed police protection during the fair
without extra charge. So it seems the
whole thing has been put upon pa
trlotic basis. The citizens of the
county are urged to show their pa
triotism by attending and by making
good exhibits. The only thing that
will cost anything is the admission
Zee of so cents for adults and 25 cents
for children. On Friday there will be
y reduction to all school children
throughout the county.
1t it earnestly urged that special
effort be made by the farmers
throughout the county to get up good
farm product exhibits Particularly
is it urged that any and everything in
his line be sent in. Let every public
spirited citizen throughout the county
d. make up his mind to help on the fair
this year. 1t will pay in many ways.

Tuesday morning and came over to

Crops along the way out here were
sorry but they are some better over

The war spirit in Atlanta is some
| what different from our country. The
sympathy is more for Germany here
than with us. This is because there
are so many Germans here and they
have many to sympathiZe with them
or keep quiet for policy sake.

The crowds that go to Ringling

There is nothing manly or patriotic
about q group Of American young men
at a college In South Orange. N. j..
compelling fifteen Mexicans. their fell
low students. to salute the American
flag. 1t was most discourteous and
overbearing. There is no more reason
why peaceful Mexicans should be made
to salute our flag than that our citi-
Gems over the border should be made to
do honor to the Mexican standard. The
college authorities, persons In authority
everywhere should act vigorously to
prevent minor outages Of this sort;
presumably none Of the major kind will
be attempted. The utmost protection
should be afforded to Mexicans within
our territory. We should treat them
with distinguished consideration. show
Ing that even in war we are a generous
and fair minded people. Our foes are
entitled TO our highest respect. In re-
specting them We do ourselves honor.

II Puzzles the Child.

In all it's public schools the city OF
New York makes great and intelligent
efforts to instil into the pupils affec-
ton and respect for the flag Of the Uni
ted States. Daily there Is a salute to
the nations ensign, with a pledge Of
allegiance which each child repeats. It
Is asserted by educators that the for
mula is productive of excellent results.
and the Importance Of impressing on
the youth Of the land the glory Of its
banner and the duty each owes to the
nation whose symbol 1t Is becomes ap-
parent when the large number Of in
fants Of foreign birth or parentage now
in the schools Is considered.
Having performed with commend
able earnestness this ceremony. the pu-
pill leaves the school. and finds his road
TO his home INSTRUCTED by large
crowd listening to violent and incendi-
airy denunciatiou Of the flag he has just
saluted. He finds that the orator Is
protected by the police. who constitute
the only official force he knows. The
child recalls the sincere and convincing
words Of his instructor rs he listens
to the outpourings Of the speaker and
watches the policemen In the work Of
guarding him.
The child Is somewhat puzzled when
the meeting breaks NJ and he Is able
70 pursue his homeward journey.

we have condoned the many atrocities
in which YOU have been the supreme
authority concerned, We have assumed

COMPOUNDED your enemies with retribu-
ton for an indignity which Is as moth

have suffered at the hands OF your fol-

has ever been in our mind and heart

words and acts. the establishment OF
your rule the dearest aim OF our for

You knew that the fundamental doc
trine of our liberty is that Governments
derive their just powers from the con-

that our ambition Is TO erect upon that
foundation bequeathed us by our
fathers more progressive doCtr.a" o..

For the disclosing OF this hopeless

rad you preserved discreet silence II
might have been presumed that some
