Janesvilie. October l.-when Old
Sol showed his smiling face at eight
O'Clock Thursday morning, there was,
indeed, a happy crowd In GAINESVILLE.
After weeks OF worry and earnest ef-
forts, the arrangement committee COM
posed OF President C."H. Schafer,

second annual effort to put on fair
and harvest festival, could be realized.
Their deductions were correct and by

RESULT that when their talented band
leader. Roy w. Johnson waved his
wand and signaled the GAINESVILLE City
band TO start the festivities, there
were at least I 200 people ready for
the welcome.

weather rairer, more people came,
until an estimated crowd OF 5000 peo-
pie was reported. .''" H''

The Free Attractions.
The free attractions composed OF
the Bellnohnts and the Eat Zams lent
their aids 10 forward the amusements.
Their wire walking. acrobatic and
tumbline feats together with the knife

keep the people happy.
Aside from the free attractions. the
people brought in products. stock and
other produce or handIwork that made
the fair complete in every respect.
The citizens had the town decorated
and dressed in festival style that was,
indeed, pleasing to the stranger and
the people that have made GAINESVILLE
their trading point for years.
DR. G. l.. Seger and his venerable
father took particular pains to see that
all exhibits were looked after in the

judges are able TO do their work and
we regret that we are not able to get
full report in tonight's paper. How
ever, we shall have these things prop

after as rapidly as possible.
Now we want to say in conclusion
that there are very few towns the
size OF GAINESVILLE that conduct their
festivities with the order and
pains taking effort that is put forth by
the men that are lending their daily
influence to make this town stand up
to the reputation 1t has attained.
