BIG CROWDS AT GROUNDS.
Being informed through The
Journal yesterday morning that the
fair ground gates would be opened
Sunday all day, and that people would
be allowed to go on the grounds,
1 Gus tOOh duNduIdRt Oh an Op-
portunity thus offered to see what
was on display even before the fair
was officially opened, and it is a
safe wager that all who went through
the grounds yesterday afternoon will
make trip to the fair grounds more
than one time this week, for what
most everyone found out there even
in the preliminary state, was pleas
ing surprise.
| There were no shows doing BUSH
ness out there yesterday, and every
body was getting ready for the "big"
time six days and half of six
nights, this week. Lunch stands will
be plentiful on the grounds and there
will be plenty of wholesome viands to
eat, to be had at reasonable prices.
Many of the city churches have seen
to it that the elmer man" will be
! cared for wholesomely, and at the
minimum of expense.
Live stock from the northern end
of the county will arrive at an early
hour this morning. This is being
shipped in specially chartered car,
by w. Y. Gordon and his brother,
and of course they hope to pull down
more than one blue ribbon when some
of the stock they place in sails are
judged. These two enterprising Es-
Gambia gentlemen would have had
their exhibits earlier had there have
been an available car As it is, they
hope to have live stock and agricul-
tural exhibits in place long before the
crowds begin to surge into the gates
this morning.
