While we are here to lament
for our deceased brother, we will
not deny our prayers and will say
a little prayer for the repose of

lies ought to pray for the repose
of the soul of our friends. We
all come from one God and go to
one God. Everyone of us has God
as our Father in heaven and
through the mercy of God we were
redeemed by Him. Hence we ought
to pray not only at home, but al

FAIR A SUCCESS

In spite of threatening weather
the third and fourth days We're a
success. Large crowds visited the
fair which proved that county fairs
are not SO unpopular as is some

The racing program was hand
led by Superintendent of speed, Mr.
A. w. Harvey, of Extra, in a sat

ants, which, considering the large
string of horses entered was remark
able.
The first race was the 2:2S trot

were Guardovaise first, ILL; Hal
