Court Fairmount's Public Demonstra-
tion and the Result

The street carnival conducted by Court
Fairmount on Parish street from 25th to
26th last Friday and Saturday evenings
was a great success. The street was
gaily decorated and Illuminated, more
than 1000 electric lights being used. Bam-
brey street from Parrish to Brown, known
as "Foresters' Row." was veritable
Midway; every amusement employed at
the county fairs was in operation. One
of tho novelties introduced was conducted
by Brother Andy Clark which gave the
privilege of breaking dishes with base
balls. Brother Ed Kinslow and James
Scott had charge of a booth where 1t
was possible to procure a large basket
of provisions and a live chicken for 10
cents.
Much credit for the success is due to the
ladies, who 80 ably assisted the committee of
arsngements. composed of Brothers James
