The GARRETT COUNTY FAIR.
Exhibits are beins Received,-A
Large Number Expected.

The material for the exhibit of the
workings of the Parcel Post system is
being received by Postmaster Defiin-
baugh. The Post Office Department is
trying 70 show the farmers the ad-
vantages they may enjoy through the
parcel post system.
The Fair managers are considering a
band contest, during one of the days of
the fair. The Homecoming band will be
one of the contestants if a contest
should be held. The Keyser w. Va,
band will be invited to take part. The
prize will be of the value of $4,000.
Such contest would be of great inter-
est.
The exhibit of grain this year should
be large and fine. 1t Is hoped that
Garrett county may have splendid
exhibit, selected from the exhibits of
the Garrett county fair for the State
fair at Baltimore. The exhibit last
year was good, but this year we want
to do much better and can do so if
proper care is taken in selecting the
exhibits. Select the very best speci-
mems Of wheat, oats, rye, barley and
buckwheat, see that it is thoroughly
cleansed and is dry, not damp or musty.
The exhibit of eggs last year was
small. but interesting. The butter ex-
hibit was splendid. Let US do better
this year
We hope to see much greater ex-
hibit Of buckwheat -four, corn meal and
graham -four made in Garrett county.
The display at the fair of 1914 was very
creditable, this year it will be better.
The way the farmers, merchants and
the public are taking hold of fair mat
tiers is very encouraging and promises
q great fair next month.

Sheriff. Issues An Open Letter.

To the Editor of The Republican.
Please allow me space in your paper
to correct two falsehoods that are be-
ing circulated concerning the Office for
which | am candidate.
First-That if l am defeated at the
primary l mean to run independent,
which is bare faIsehood as l intend to
do nothing of the kind.
Second-Th if l am elected l will
put N. H. Casteel in my place. which
statement has no word of truth in it.
| hope ny friends and the voters will
not believe anything of the kind that
they may hear, for if l am elected my
intention is to move and take charge of
the Office myself and fill it to the best
of my ability, without fear or favor.
They are also using an argument
against me that can live without it.
which | am proud to say can.
If l had lived in Garrett county for
forty wears and could not live without
the office should be very sorry to ask
my friends, the voters, to vote for me
to attend to the business of others.
l think we have a number of good
men in Office today who could live with
out it, as far as that is concerned.
l have been paying a heavy tax to
the county for a number Of years for
schools and roads and ask for this Office
because | think | am entitled to it.
If my friends and voters think | am
not entitled to it then do not vote for
me but if you think | am l shall be
very thankful to you for your support
at the primary for | can not see you all
IN person. Thanking you in advance.
