The FIRST COUNTY
SCHOOL FAIR Hello
IN HOPKINS COUNTY
Was Unbounded SucCcss---The Majority Of The
Schools in the County We're Represented
and Hundreds Of School Children
We're Present

The first County School Fair ever
he'd in this county took place in
jacksonville last Friday and practi-
eally every school in the county was
we'll represented. 1t is estimated
there were 1000 school children and
teachers in the parade and about
5000 including all visitors in Madi-
Sonvilleron this occasion. The pa
rade was formed at the West Broad
way building and marched two
abreast to Main street and turned
north going down the east side OF
main with banner flying and badges
fluttering in the wind They march
ed the entire length of Main street
returning on the west side and the
head Of the column had made the
round and reached the court house
before the rear left West Broadway
thus making the parade over mile
in length Such a gathering was
never before seen in MadiSonville
and il doubtless marks new era
along educational lines in this coun.
ty. The amount of enthusiasm dis
played by both teachers and pupils
in preparing for this school fair was
equal to that evidenced by the pre-
partitions for the school fair held in
= Darlington in Dec, 1913, which was
the first school fair ever held in the
county. Prof. c. K. Dudley prin-
cipal and Paul N. Moore chairman
of the Board of Education were
wholly responsible for the first school
fair, and their lead was handsomely
followed up this year when the coun
ty fair was held in jacksonville.
After the parade Friday the crowd
assembled in the count house square
and were addressed by the Hon. d.
". Kincheloe who said, among other
things that the crowd before him
thoroughly convinced him that
"RooSevelt's theory of race suicide
was smashed into SmithereenS In
the afternoon the West Broadway
building was thrown open to the
public, where the exhibits of the diff
ferent schools were displayed. The
crowd at this building was so dense
1t was almost impossible to view the
display with any degree of satisfac
ton until late in the afternoon. The
display Of the various schools was
indeed commendable and proved that
the teachers and pupils had put forth
their best efforts in anticipation Of
this fair. County Supt. Lem Ray,
deserves great credit for the success
hOf the fair and was ably seconded by
7 the various teachers of the town and
country schools. The benefit of this
gathering to the cause of education
in this county should be lasting. as
every school represented went back
home filled with a greater zeal for
the cause and a determination to get
better results in the future. Earl
ing ton school carried of one-fifth of
the prizes offered, two of these being
general prizes, one of which was the
Library prize of 20 volumns, given
for the greatest number in attend
&c based on mileage and the other

Bunch in Close Game
Friday.

The Parma high football squad
took its first drubbing OF the
season here Friday afternoon by
the close score OF z to 6, Ontario
being responsible for the bitter
dose. The game was bitterly
contested and interesting at all
stages, but repeated fumbling
by the Parma men marred the
play considerably and was in
directly responsible for the de-
feat of the local bunch The
Parma line held the plunging
Ontario backfeld to a standstill
during most of the game but
weakened at a critical time and
the visitors bucked the ball
across and kicked goal: Par
mas touchdown was made on a
long run by G. Wright, who re
lowered the ball back of the
Ontario line, but the chance fol
a tie score was lost when the
attempt at goal failed. Parma
made a desperate try for another
touchdown and a perfectly ex-
ecuted forward pass from Stock
ton to Wright placed them with,

Seventh Annual Event
Promises to Surpass

All conditions Indicate that
the annual Northwest Livestock

November 20 December 4 will be
the greatest in the history OF
that institution This opinion
is based upon reports received
by the officers of the North
west Livestock Association, I'M
der whose auspices the show
Is held These reports are to the
effect that larger number oi
animals will be on display than
has been the case IN the past,
while the quality also promises
to establish a new standard
Exhibits are coming from all the
principal sections OF the fouI
northwest states. The magni
tude of the show, which is now
in its seventh year, can be judged
by the fact that at some of the
past exhibitions over 5000 ami
mails were on display. Reports
made by the railroads, based
upon inquiries received, leave nc
doubt that the attendance o.
people will far surpass that o.
any previous show.

HELD FOR EMBEZZLEMENT
Lancaster Firm Charges Employe With
Crooked Transactions

Charged with embezzlement by the
Purne Chemical Company, of Lancas.
ter, w. l.. Myers, an employe of the
company, was arrested at Second and
North streets this morning at 1890
o o'clock by Policeman Fetrow ON in
formation that warrant had been is.
sued by the Lancaster authorities.
Myers, with two companions, had
been soliciting in this city for the last
few days, Myers being in full charge.
Recently his companions were notified
by the firm they were not securing a
sufficient amount of orders. Thinking
something was wrong they telephoned
to Lancaster and found that Myers had
not turned in all the money they gave
him. The firm then swore out a war,
rant at Lancaster for his arrest, which
action was communicated to this city
by telephone. 1t is alleged by Myers
companions that he was keeping from
~ to Sc a day which they had turned
over to him.
