Though Caddo is not a county seat
town, the business men and farmers
have put forth the efforts necessary
TO make this Carnival a success. md
this year will be no exception TO the
rule. The premiums aggregate
something like a thousand dolla 4.
and almost every known farm ard
kitchen product has a prize attached
for the exhibition. Besides these,
there are two other features which
are very popular. The fancy work
exhibited by the ladies is very fine.
and the several fancy work clubs are
arranging TO have club exhibits this
year. Then the better babies con-
test is one that attracts interest each
