The Fall Festival.

On Wednesday night Main street
presented a gala appearance. Tn
climax to the two days festival was
the big parade which started from the.
Citizens Eng ne House. The band led
the procession followed by the. town
council and a large number Of The
Board Of Trade IN carriages and uhtnsi
mobiles, the Red Men in Their un;-
forms, adding much to the occasion,
then Ene of twenty or more auto
mobiles, most of them deliberately
decorated, especially Palmbaums and
Brown Bros.--and many of the oc
cupants grotesquely dressed Thsr
followed the masdueradcrs on loot,
probably two hundred, some with
faces BACKED or with masks, some
wearing sunbonnets and ancient MILL
merry, some wearing dresses worn by
their ancestors and colonial cos
tunes and other styles of bygone days.
Some carried fans, or parasols, band
boxes, suit cases, and with their
bowling and scraping made much mer-
riment for the many spectators who
lined the street on both sides. There
were number of children masked
who seemed to be having the time Of
their lives and among the men some
wore armor as in olden times, some
represented clowns, some even don
ned Detticoats and showed how very
graceful man can be when parad-
ing as a woman, and one was noted
with a placard "I'm a devil in my
own home town." But it was all in
fun--the band played and everybody
laughed and made merry--eyerybody
had good time. 1t gave one an idea,
on small scale, of what Mardi Gras
is like in New Orleans. The follow
ing prizes were awarded.

featherweight champ, Jack Johnson Is
heavyweight leader and the other,

Can Now Get Star Players Who
Would Have Baked
Before

Though the Boston Braves did not
make lot of money last season, the
team being loser until it started ON
its winning streak, and the world
series netting little for the club, as
the players got the bulk of the re-
ceipts of the four games played, the
club is beginning to reap the harvest
OF its success.
For instance, IL was possible for the
Braves To obtain Sherwood Magee,
who year ago would have baked at
being sent to Boston because It was
then a tail-end team. Now 1t is a
pennant winner and the players like
to be sent there, for there is always
a chance TO share in the world series
money. Magee, by the way, also was
given a $4,000 increase In salary.
